What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Poetry is inspired by experiences from everyday life, from images, from emotions, and from people, especially people whose lives impact our existence. Poetry can also be inspired by powers of observation. In writing “Flashes of Emotion,” I was inspired by all of the above. You will find fresh imagery, sad verses, relationships galore, social commentary, and complex love poems. Above all, you will find my voice.
For,
The coward yearns to live so he may not be forgotten
The brave yearns to die so he may live forever.

Fly Away Snow Goose by Juliet Waldron and John Wisdomkeeper

Fly Away Snow Goose by Juliet Waldron and John Wisdomkeeper

In the early 1950’s four 1st Nation’s children are taken to the Indian Residential School in Ft. Providence, NWT. Two believe this will be a good thing. The other pair are older, almost grown, and so far they’ve avoided white man’s school. On a visit to town, however, they are captured by Indian Agents. A winter of suffering and abuse follows, for the school’s mission is to “Kill the Indian inside the child.” Sascho, the oldest boy, makes a plan to escape. They will have to travel 800 kilometers through wilderness, living off the land, always hoping to reconnect with their nomadic family before the snow flies again. Based on actual stories of residential school survivors, “Fly Away Snowgoose” is a “Walkabout,” an adventure rich in danger, beauty, mystery, courage and love.

Say Not “What If” by Andrew Friedman

A dying man craves the time he has lost. Written as a long rhyming poem, Say Not “What If” recounts his journey and the consequences of the choices he makes in a desperate desire to stay alive. Exceptionally easy to read and understand, many readers have praised the power and thought provoking nature of this unique story. What would you do for more time?

“This was a lyrical masterpiece! Very deep with an important life lesson woven in. Excellent from start to finish, and highly recommended by me.”

“This literary work is something incredibly special. I highly recommend this book, and hope that its life lessons will stay with us for the rest of our journey.”

“The paradox of a man’s dying despair with the lyrical rhyming was intoxicating. Easy to read, and emotionally provocative, Mr. Friedman has written a truly unique short story.”

“This poetic short story is so gripping and compelling that you won’t stop reading. And more than reading, I was almost singing along with the story, it was so beautifully written.”

“Say Not “What If” is a beautifully written piece of literature with a dark heart at its core. The stark contrast between the lovely poetry and all the things that made this ugly was severe but it was also what made the story . . . beautiful in an uncanny way.”

“I found myself truly submerged in the story. I read it in one afternoon and it left me with lots to think about, which, really, is what books are all about.”

Featured Poetry Book: Vermilion by Julian Caesar

By Curator

About Vermilion by Julian Caesar

Vermilion is a collection of poems that doesn’t take sex, death, or itself seriously. Logical in its madness, Vermilion is a rallying cry, a polemic, and a madcap romp. A whiskey soaked love story with no beginning and no end.

About Universal Colloquies Inside of Me by Veronica Thornton

This is a humanizing book of poetry that covers just about anything. These poems inspire you to get out there and do something great, make you think about the things you can probably relate with but were not able to describe properly before, and force you to contemplate upon the deep thoughts written in the form of mesmerizing poetry.
The ideas are very mature and philosophical. There is stuff about change and evolution, and then there are poems about accepting yourself and self love. The poems are delightfully balanced and for those who need to hear the right thing at the right time, they are sure to be of great comfort.

About Awakened By His Presence by Tawana Forte

This collection of inspirational poems is about waking up and living.

As we experience the storms within our lives (and we can’t run from them), we must not let it distract us from God and what he is doing in our lives.

This book is about praising God for what he is doing in our lives, even if it has not been revealed yet. Each poem is full of words of encouragement and appreciation of our loving Father, with scriptures to meditate on. It helps us keep our faith and keep our focus on God’s love for us.

This book reminds us that we must stay awake and fully armored as storms approach, as that is when we will feel God’s presence.

The Top Out Of View by James Carlo Naggi

By Curator

American high school football is a showcase for players’ skills, a Friday night diversion, an energizing community-unifying activity. But there’s more to it than that.

Through a series of free verse poems, the author draws from his years of coaching to highlight scenes from a typical season that usually lie outside public view.

After forty-two seasons of high school football, I felt compelled to capture some of the sport’s intensity and drama through poetry.
