A collection of 50 poems inspired by the first generation pokemon games by award-winning spoken word artist RJ Walker. There is a poem for every Trainer Class and City in the games. Each poem progresses like a journey through identity, mental illness, and growing up between the 20th and 21st centuries. "Trainers of Kanto is the instruction manual with which RJ Walker guides us through the Pokemon world, stripped of all that distinguishes it from our own. The world is a closet lined with too familiar costumes- the forlorn lover, the bishop's robe, the beach, the burglar mask, the heirloom, the witch's dress, the doctor, the medicated patient- and he deftly tunnels through them like video game levels. Inside each costume is another costume, then another, then another, and finally lands upon a rock or wedding ring or this heavy book that shifts between the two with uncomfortable ease. Trainers "is not a rock, it's a door", one that leads us back to ourselves by rehearsing all the roles we already know by heart. It is a memorable seminar in what video game lovers already know: to escape into the relief of another world, you have to learn the pain of this one. You have to navigate this new one, with this new body, with the old ones breathing down your neck." - 'Good Ghost' Bill Moran, author of Oh God, Get Out Get Out from Write Bloody Press.As a die-hard fan of Pokémon games, I expected to love Indigo League, but I didn't expect to find such an emotional gut-punch. In this collection, RJ provides a master class in the economy of words, crafting concise, brilliant, direct narratives that will inspire readers with their emotional weight, regardless of whether the reader has any familiarity with the source material. RJ creates worlds, lives, and stories that stand on their own as a cohesive, self-reflective collection that reminds me of Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology in its adept poetic ability and its careful attention to character. RJ will take you through a journey of pain, humor, wit, love, loss, and humanity, and I will forever envy his ability to do so in such masterful strokes, setting up clear characters in just a few lines, and then leaving his reader reeling one line later. This is easily one of my favorite chapbooks I have read in some time, and I'm sure that feeling will be shared by anyone who comes across this collection.- Patrick Roche, Award Winning Poet and Author of An Exercise in Necromancy

Holding Grace embraces a contemporary, free verse style of poetry as the voice for sharing a range of lifes experiences and emotions, creating an approachable and highly readable collection. Within these pages are recognizable tales of friendship and loss, contentment and longing, reflections on current events and locales, and the pure pleasure that may be found when one stops to soak in the beauty and rhythm of nature. The storytelling here breathes life into the moments captured. From the exuberance of a child free to swing high on a rope and drop into cool waters in Washed Anew, to the quiet reflection of a young father realizing lifes blessings on Christmas morn in A Morning Made of Perfection, the images conjured by the author strike a chord that is at once familiar and emotional. Tenderly written remembrances of childhood, tales of middle-aged angst as one feels the press of time, and backward glances at lifes choices are all countered with stories of natures challenging beauty, and the too infrequent simplicity of enjoying a quiet rain or a frozen breath on a cold day. This collection offers sentimental reflections on life and the memories we carry, as well as an unblinking look at the need to accept the passage of time with grace and appreciation. Pause and take in the life moments, both common and unique, that are so lovingly shared in Holding Grace.

You may experience tears of joy and sadness while reading his writings, as many tears were shed by Dr. Lay as he wrote this book.
First published in 1977, Ronald Johnson's RADI OS revises the first four books of Paradise Lost by excising words, discovering a modern and visionary poem within the seventeenth-century text. As the author explains, "To etch is 'to cut away, ' and each page, as in Blake's concept of a book, is a single picture." With God and Satan crossed out, RADI OS reduces Milton's Baroque poem to elemental forces. In this retelling of the Fall, song precipitates from chaos, sight from fire: "in the shape / as of / above the / rose / through / rose / rising / the radiant sun. -- Contracubierta.
