Reality Poems (2016) is the revised edition of Isabella George's first e-book, Reality Poems of the Modern Day (2014). The title has been shortened, but content increased. In this revision, the poems are presented as more intense in-depth... and reveal an enriched ever-evolving awareness and determination to address issues more explicitly, without trepidation or regard to criticism. Reality Poems is a body of work that is now a collection of 70 short stories and poems of controversial issues relevant to modern culture. Each poem is a short story that creates mood and movement in a rhythmic lyrical contempo cadence aptly called Versery Rhymes™, some poems are written in an urban vernacular. Many stories in the collection of political and social issues are not usually topics of discourse in traditional poetry. These stories in atomic words are a clear and concise commentary on controversial issues not usually considered to be poetic. A range of poignant topics in the collection includes: Credit card entrapment, drug trafficking, interracial lovers, 9/11 conspiracy and other theories, the horrors of factory farming, death row, psychotic episodes, cigarette smoking, Lucifer Prince of the Air, strippers, the blues, ghosts, frankenfood, baptism, the death of one's mother, civil rights struggle of the '60's, sea level rise Miami and the Everglades, smoking weed, imagining the New World Order, aging cougars. Less poignant topics include: Teenage love crushes, forgetfulness, boys and their frogs, Barbie dolls, fashionistas, Hot Wheels, puppies, parakeets, heartbreak, Kool-Aid, the Brazilian Samba, gremlins, island living and many other topics of life.
Is a politically and socially courageous eclectic collection of short stories and poems of contemporary predicaments and issues that often escape mainstream sensibility. Each poem is a compelling short story, versified in a style of poetry I have tagged as, "Versery Rhymes" which is contempo lyrical verse with a bit of urban vernacular dialogue. A range of poignant topics in this collection pertain to credit card entrapment, drug trafficking, lesbian lovers, prostitution, factory farming, death row, psychotic episodes, cigarette smoking, smoking weed, the Prince of the air, the blues, ghosts, etc. the list goes on. A bit less poignant topics are of teen age love affairs, boys and frogs, the rain, Barbie dolls, fashionistas, hot wheels, puppy's, parakeets, baptism, death, forgetfulness... and much much more...this just names a few. As Langston Hughes penned: "Poetry is the human soul entire, Squeezed like a lemon or a lime, Drop by drop into atomic words". The reality of truth in atomic words that are direct commentary on issues is what this work is about.
Infused with dark, tumultuous, and urgent feeling--emotion recollected not in tranquility, but in intensity.
Cult bestseller The Invitation is more than just a poem. It is a profound invitation to a life that is more fulfilling and passionate, with greater integrity. This book is a word-of-mouth sensation, whose truths have resonated with people all over the world, and is now reissued with a beautiful new cover design.
Poetry. WELL WELL REALITY is a collection of poems written in collaboration by Rosmarie and Keith Waldrop over a number of years. The distinct voices of these two momentously prolific poets merge to create a new, lyric voice: a vast, plural assemblage of name, gender, and language. "When Rosmarie Waldrop writes poetry, when she writes poems, she writes her poems: the poems, the poetry of Rosmarie Waldrop. When Keith Waldrop writes poetry, when he writes poems, he writes his poems: the poems, the poetry of Keith Waldrop. But when Rosmarie and Keith, when Keith and Rosmarie write poems together, whose poems are those poems? They are the poems of a third poet, whose name and gender and origin and language we do not know. But what we do see, and hear, are the poems."--Jacques Roubaud
Among students and aficionados of contemporary literature, the work of Latina and Latino poets holds a particular fascination. Through works imbued with fire and passion, these writers have kindled new enthusiasm in their compatriots and admiration in non-Latino readers. This book brings together recent interviews with fifteen Latino/a poets, a cross-section of Chicano, Puerto Rican, and Cuban voices who discuss not only their work but also related issues that help define their place in American literature. Each talks at length about the craft of his or her poetry—both the influences and the process behind it—and takes a stand on social and political issues affecting Latinos across the United States. The interviews feature both established writers published as early as the 1960s and emerging artists, each of whom has enjoyed success in other literary forms also. As Bruce Dick's insightful questions reveal, the key threads linking these writers are their connections to their families and communities and their concern for civil rights—believing like Chicana writer Pat Mora that "the work of the poet is for the people." The interviews also reveal diversity among and within the three communities, from Victor Hernández Cruz, who traces Latino collective identity to Africa and claims that all Latinos are "swimming in olive oil," to Cuban writer Gustavo Perez Firmat, who considers nationality more important than ethnicity and says that "the term Latino erases [his] nationality." The dialogues also offer new insights on the place of Chicano/a writings in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, on the Puerto Rican/Nuyorican establishment, and on the anti-Castro stand of Cuban-born poets. As these writers answer questions about their work, background, ethnic identity, and political ideology, they provide a wealth of biographical, intellectual, and literary material collected here for the first time. A Poet's Truth is a provocative and revealing book that not only conveys the fire of these writers' passions but also sheds important light on a whole literary movement.
