Alter Schulstoff spannend interpretiert. Würden Sie von einer Klippe springen, um einen goldenen Becher aus den Tiefen des tobenden Meeres zu bergen?

This is a literary composition composed for those who feel like nobody's listening. For my comrades, my mom and my dad, and my two sisters who showed me what it means to be different. For the drug addicts that fiend but still dream of better conditions, huddled with puddles on pillows with Brillos and pipes, not bathed or slept in days, high as a kite. For the single parents that struggle working doubles, taxing their muscles so their children can comfortably cuddle and sleep at night.

Seit sein Hund Lola gestorben ist, kann den kleinen Niklas nichts mehr erfreuen. Alles ist in Traurigkeit gehüllt. Selbst wenn er mit seinen Freunden spielt, ist es nicht mehr so wie früher. Die Erde sieht dunkler aus als sonst, die Nässe ist nasser und die guten Schuhe drücken, wenn er rennt. Niklas fragt sich, ob Trauer je verschwinden kann, wenn doch alles vergeht - selbst die Schönheit der Welt... Oder ob man verlernen kann diese Schönheit zu sehen? Eines Tages lernt er einen alten Mann kennen, der immer allein auf einer Bank sitzt und in die Sonne blinzelt oder in den Schnee starrt.

The energies animating Saints of Little Faith, Megan Pinto’s electrifying debut in poetry, are a forceful quiet, a loud stillness, the caesura between a lightning strike and the sound of thunder. Everywhere, the speaker sees the numinous power of language, the incipience of things to come, even a kind of catastrophic grace in desolation and destruction—as if within the terrain of her own obsession, she recognizes the familiar, ever-changing seasons.

In these exquisitely rendered poems, people fall in and out of love, in and out of religious belief and in and out of accepting the distance between their imagined lives and the lives they live. They look back as much as forward and pick mercilessly at the open wounds of failed relationships. They inhabit geographies that are both their emancipators and captors. And they find joy, or succumb to sorrow, amid life’s inescapable ephemerality and fragility.

Quietly reflective, the beautifully written poems in this slim volume offer a welcome respite from the noisy insistence of modern life. The language, now simple and direct, now rich in associations, double-meanings, and imagery, has its own natural rhythm and appeal regardless of subject and rhyme.

I wrote most of these poems when I was in a bad place, a dark state of mind that eased its hold when I wrote them down, and so these poems were created, they maybe disturbing for most and very intense, but if you have been in a dark place too, you may understand.

My Way With Words is reamed from decades of jotted thoughts and poems. Jotted thoughts are easily understood, but jotted poems I believe in my case deserves an explanation. Many of my poems were completed beginning to end with no changes between or very little editing and that includes a few longer poems.

This is the story of a dark night of the soul, of traversing the depths of despair, and of rebirth. It shows the reality of hitting rock bottom. Not by a self-reported narrative written after the fact, but through unfiltered poetic expression written in real time during breakdown and recovery. The poems within this collection were written over a 24-month period and are presented in chronological order. They show the inner tumult and turmoil of a man desperately trying, and failing, to hold together the crumbling status quo of his prior existence.

With flowing rhymes, intoxicating free verse explorations, and vivid imagery, LIFE AS IT IS & OTHER POEMS will take you on a powerful journey through life and loss, depression and self-acceptance, nature and the universe, and everything in between.
