Say Not “What If” by Andrew Friedman

By Curator

PP Native Cover.3636711.inddSay 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

vermillionAbout 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.

Featured Book: Universal Colloquies Inside of Me by Veronica Thornton

By Curator

MY-1ST-BOOK-COVERAbout 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.

By Curator

Awakened-By-His-PresenceAbout 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.

Collection Of Thoughts! by Theria Spinner

By Curator

51DWZKABXNL._BO2204203200_PIsitb-sticker-v3-bigTopRight0-55_SX278_SY278_PIkin4BottomRight122_AA300_SH20_OU01Collection of Thoughts! is a collection of poems which are in both of my previous books, “Fit Into My Shoes For A Moment!” and “Tribulations!”. The poems cover a wide range of situations that are faced in life.They are the words to what some of us go through but can’t quite explain with a statement. Consider them as windows into the circumstances of our fellow man. They perhaps allow us to have a front seat view of the situation without actually being there. Pull up a chair and take your turn to view with the powerful words!

Targeted Age Group:: 1-127

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
“Collection of Thoughts!” is the combination of “Fit Into My Shoes For A Moment!” and “Tribulations!”. I originally wrote the poems as a stress release and to be in obedience to God! As more and more people read my work, they informed me of how inspirational and encouraging the poems were to each of them. What started out as an outlet for stress release turned into an inspirational avenue to so many people.

The Dragon Leaves by Filidh Lochlannach

By Curator

bok_thedragonleaves_cover_kindle_v348 pieces of short prose and poetry from the Norwegian poet Filidh Lochlannach is now available in e-book format. “The Dragon Leaves” is a collection of stand alone texts that tell an entire story if read together. Unpack the flashes of beautiful nature and wonderings of what happened when Christianity suppressed Paganism, all wrapped up in a poet’s paper.

xxx

Go for a walk in the woods, find the old pathway up the hills, and follow it up to the old hill forts. By the steep trail, you see the ground all covered with Dragon Leaves. Pause for a while, watch them, kneel and turn them. Read the stories of the people that once lived there, of their world view and their relationships to Nature. Read the poems of how they revered Women and Female properties in the world around them, and learn a lesson of why humans today create their own sorrows.
This hill of poems and stories features a panoramic view into the past, including history, ecology, philosophy and religion. Throughout, these tales of an ancient culture reveals conflicts, greed, despair, but also a hope of love, harmony and peace as the Dragon is about to return.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Hiking is one of my main interests besides writing books. I like to walk to places with a purpose of finding out about their own unique histories. I’ve found old buildings, farms, hill-forts, old trails in the mountains and much more on my journeys, and some questions always pop up in my head. “What imprints were made on this land that shaped it into what it is today?” and “Who did it?” and “Why?” During my studies of nature philosophy I learnt how to get answers to these questions and I became very fascinated by the “Spirit of the Land” and the “Songs in the Wind”. I had thought about putting it all down on paper for a long time. I had kept some kind of a messy journal mixed with historical research, old myths and my own experiences from my walking. Then I joined the “National Writing Month” in 2013, a contest where the participants are supposed to produce 50.000 words in a month. I grabbed the opportunity and transformed my research into a story. I won the challenge, but there was still a lot of work to do to finish the novel. All I had was a very raw text that needed to be put a lot of effort into to become a manuscript, and I suddenly got that nudge in the right direction of going through yet another transformation – making the novel a collection of poetry and short prose. I happened to love to write in such a free manner. I chose a writing style that had few strict rules, and my creative imagination and intuition got the chance to flow more easily when I didn’t have to think about rules and compositions. My pieces of writing became snapshots of my own experiences. They became descriptions of moments that can stand alone, although I think they are strongest when they are read together from start to end.
