A Gentle Kiss from God is the culmination of a life punctuated with roadblocks, depression, mental abuse, and post-abuse fallout; a life that finds comfort and hope in a deep trust in God; a creative young woman who seeks expression through her Christian faith from early childhood and her love of writing. The result? A book of thoughts and passions that comes together in the pulse of poetry and song, hope and beauty. Despite her own life that had despaired for love and harmony, her writings erupt into hope and comfort, strength, beauty, and a joie de vivre!

Take a look at the internal workings of the mind of poet and song writer Liam Browne. He lays his soul bare in so much of his work, and this collection of poems and songs from his electrifying book Dealer to Healer is no different. Themes of love, depression, loss, growth, violence, and lust are all explored in a volatile and, at times, erratic way. He also shares the lyrics from his album Forget & Remember—songs from which have been played on BBC6 Music. Liam makes words dance—so take a dive and experience a unique vision.

These are the poems that oozed out of the poet's experience and perception looking at people and the world around him. Most of the poems are on the themes of love, life, and liberty. They cover a decade-long time period in the Himalayan country of Nepal that was affected by the People's War. All poems carry emotions, human sentiments, and remnants of war, poverty, and loss of lives. Brilliant poetry, strong images, and very poetic!

A chapbook of poetry, written over two decades, about growth and taking ownership of one's own thoughts and actions. Themes center around lost loves, lost faith, but gaining perspective.

c a r v e d, Kate Mapother's first collection of poetry, explores life and loss in its varied dimensions. At once gut-wrenching and hopeful, these poems take the listener by the hand and heart through themes of sexuality, God, love, grief, and family. The writing is rich in imagery and substance, leaving no doubt in the listener's mind about Mapother's ability to plumb the depths of hard emotion, then land you somewhere soft. These poems don't pretend to know. They simply witness.

Cada um dos 11 capítulos aborda um tema, introduzido pelos versos de Allan e analisado à luz do zen-budismo pela Monja Coen.

The poems in this book are designed to inspire the listener to see Christ and let them know that with Christ, all things are possible.

Divine Healing is the first poetry book published by EniThingIWant LLC (ETIW). In this short yet powerful book, ETIW's founder, Eniola Kolawole, bares herself to the listener as she shares the poetry written by her soul which helped her begin her journey of conscious healing.

I have wondered at the many ways life turns me inside and out, every day of my life. I do my best to see life with depth and breath. A broader lens of what I see day to day. With practice and intent, I try to find the uncommon in everyday life. Simply living my daily experiences can in itself become a form of art. For the most part, this book has come together aroused by thoughts and feelings from my everyday life. Some are deeper, more insightful. Others are lighter and more playful. Some are haunting, with vivid memories that follow me through my life.

A Beautiful Void is an inspiring book of poems and short stories that came out of “nowhere” at a time of significant challenge around the world, during the outbreak of the pandemic COVID-19. It is a book that Babeeta hopes will inspire the listener to pause and reflect on what is truly important in life. The subtle nuances of her poems and short stories that span France, Japan, and India are powerful metaphors for positive human values and sensibility toward our environment.

I believe Jesus Christ is the way to any lasting relationship with God, with ourselves, with those we court in hopes of building a romance that leads to an everlasting Marriage after the "I do" of the wedding. But it all starts and ends with Jesus, to make Love Intertwined.

Set in rural southern Indiana in the '50s to '70s, these poems tell the story of a complex family dynamic. This debut collection blends Bible images, authentic dialogue, and powerful natural forces to relay the effects of family trauma and mental illness.

Far from being a poet of note or the wordsmith I wish to be, I’ve been flattered by others asking how I do it. Without the benefit of salient literary instruction, I’m urged to write, as providential inspiration may move while caring immensely about the outcome. I have learned that writing poems is cathartic and a wonderful laxative for the mind. Thus, to that question, I responded with the poem Take a Thought…Wholesome and Good to describe my way. That isn’t to say all poets follow the same creative pattern, and surely they don’t—I boast only of myself.

Life is many things and all the in-between. How big and wide will you live your life? Or will the fear of this day cause your experience to be narrowed, smaller? Starvation is not always about the stomach. It is all about the view.

The universe sends messages to us through its own unique language. It's up to us to listen and act on the secrets to living a fuller, more meaningful life while here on earth. We are all bestowed with our own free will, but how do we use it for the good of all, as well as ourselves? The answers lie within....

This is the raw first edition of my second poem book, not the newly revised longer edition for sale on Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.

This collection of 80 poems is meant to bring encouragement and inspiration to anyone who has ever thought or dreamed of writing, whether personally or professionally.

These poems are also meant for listeners, because we cannot have one without the other. The goal of any author is to have universal appeal. Thank you for considering the work of this author.
