Free on Amazon kindle unlimited
£1.99/2.99 US for Kindle

‘Shine a Light’ literally shines a light on real life experiences, some of which are personal to me. This collection of poems shows just how vulnerable we can be when nature and fate unexpectedly throws things our way – yes, life can sometimes be cruel!

In certain situations, we have little or no control over what can happen to us but sometimes, we can be lucky too.

Although none of us can escape fate, there are however certain things we can do to lessen the blow.

My message is simple. We need to take responsibility for our actions and work together to eradicate the greed, selfishness and ignorance that can obstruct and hinder the environment and the world in which we live.

The poems contained in this book will leave you, the reader, with mixed emotions. Some will make you laugh, some may make you sad and others will perhaps strike a chord within you and evoke happy memories of your own.

Shine a Light. Like a huge lighthouse towering over murky rough seas in vast, deep dark waters and rescue teams on the way. Would this be enough to bring you to safety? Would the rescue teams find you? Do they all have what it takes? Will they go ‘the extra mile’ or would some of them want to turn back too soon.

Have you developed the strength of mind that it takes to survive? Will you sink or swim or even keep your head above water?

The Pugilist Poets of Venice by Jon Sindell

The Pugilist Poets of Venice by Jon Sindell

“A rollicking, big-hearted tale, full of laughter, bravery and unflinching humanity.”
~ Emily Kiernan, The Great Divide

A Boomer, an Xer, and a Millennial walk into a book and ask: “Are friends really `the family we choose for ourselves?’ And how cool is cool, really?”

Meet Hammerhead Hirsch, a charismatic middle-aged boho known in the 60s as The Pugilist Poet for his Golden Gloves boxing crown and Beat poetry chops. Thirty years later Head has become a first-time father, and his joy is immense—until the mom bolts. Can Head last fifteen rounds as a single dad with a paltry income, scanty prospects, biting demons, and a “ball-and-chain” kid? The tale is told by a worshipful youth who accompanies Head and his son on a turbulent yet often hilarious
ten-year ride.

“Prose that zings, swings and frequently sings.” ~ Tracy DeBrincat, Hollywood Buckaroo

“Funny, sad, relatable and engrossing.” ~ Stephen D. Gutierrez, American Book Award

“With unflinching honesty, humor and a keen eye for detail, Sindell brings unforgettable characters to life.” ~ Martin McCaw, The Low Road

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.”

Home by Uvi Poznansky @UviPoznansky

This book is bargain priced from 08/16/2014 until 08/17/2014

Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in poetry and prose, in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing for an ideal place, a place never to be found again.

Imagine the shock, imagine the sadness when a daughter discovers her father’s work, the poetry he had never shared with anyone during the last two decades of his life. Six years after that moment of discovery, which happened in her childhood home while mourning for his passing, Uvi Poznansky presents a tender tribute: a collection of poems and prose, half of which is written by her, and half—by her father, the author, poet and artist Zeev Kachel. She has been translating his poems for nearly a year, with careful attention to rhyme and rhythm, in an effort to remain faithful to the spirit of his words.

Zeev’s writing is always autobiographical in nature; you can view it as an ongoing diary of his life. Uvi’s writing is rarely so, especially when it comes to her prose. She is a storyteller who delights in conjuring up various figments of her imagination, and fleshing them out on paper. She sees herself chasing her characters with a pen, in an attempt to see the world from their point of view, and to capture their voices. But in some of her poems, she offers you a rare glimpse into her most guarded, intensely private moments, yearning for Home.

Anomalous Appetites by John Irvine @creativiapub

By

This book is bargain priced from 08/07/2014 until 08/13/2014

“Screaming and banging
muffled by six feet of earth
claustrophobic zombie”

This horrorku is one of the many eccentric and entertaining pieces you’ll find inside this dark poetry and art collection. Anomalous Appetites is a collection of dark speculative poetry that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The collection is fully illustrated and gives the written word and illustrations equal love.

The simple elegance and somewhat unorthodox presentation makes the book intriguing and fun to explore. Anomalous Appetites is highly recommended to anyone who appreciates quality dark poetry and art, and for those less familiar with this brand, it is an ideal introduction to this vast and darkly wondrous realm.
