Jessica’s poems were written as a direct response to the sudden death of her husband four weeks before she was ordained priest in the Church of England, and many reflect her faith. These honest poems chart her journey from the first unbelieving days through anger, pain, withdrawal, survival, and eventual acceptance, and even joy. These poems show those who are grieving that they are not alone, and that there is hope for love, life, and laughter once again.

This groundbreaking Jamaican narrative poem takes on history, faith, sex, and poetry itself. As 24-hour television - belching out the swaggering voices of American hellfire preachers - competes with dancehall, slackness, and ganja for Jamaican minds, Clarice and Thalbot preach their own conflicting visions. Clarice's visions give her power; Thalbot is at the mercy of every wandering spirit. But when Clarice, under the cover of darkness, 'sins' on the beach, Thalbot alone knows of her fall. He sets out to journey to denounce the prophetess and warn the Ninevite city of its coming doom.

A collection of poems - some fun, some insightful, all delightful - by former radio host, Elspeth Jackman....

This collection of poems grew out of the Covid-19 pandemic. They reflect how our everyday experiences were turned upside-down, shaken out, and landed in a very different world. A world where much of what was taken for granted, no longer held true. A world where so much of normality was stripped away, revealing what was superfluous. Revealing the essential, the most basic of our needs. Often the simplest of things. Such as touch. Each of the poems is followed by a glimpse behind the scenes. Shining a light onto the sometimes moving, sometimes amusing inspirations behind them.

“Siempre que haya un hueco en tu vida, llénalo de amor, pues el amor lleva en sí su plenitud”. De esta reflexión del gran poeta mexicano Amado Nervo nace el título e este audiolibro extraordinario, a caballo entre la poesía más refinada y la llamada literatura de autosuperación o autoayuda.

Poetry of true life.

"A Cinnamon Afternoon" is a collection of 144 poems that introduces the reader to a surreal world, that exists intertwined with our mundane, casual world, where everything is interconnected and exists simultaneously as reality and also as imagination. Visions, contemplative states, delightful incursions in the lands where everything exists as sweet baked goodies, created and induced with the help of contemporary free-form poetry, keep the reader wanting to read more, so he can dwell again and again in the dimension where everything is just a fantasy seen from the corner of the eye.

Jetzt wenn die Glöckerln und d'Markln klingerln, de staadn Weisn vom Lautsprecher dringerln, Reklamechöre weihnachlich singerln, die silbernen Kugerln und glänzerten Engerln, inmitten der duftenden Wurstwaren hängerln, se d'Leut in d'volle U-Bahn neizwängerln, se auf der Straßn halbert derdrängerln, konns sei, daß mia oft nimmer vor Geschenkerln and Geschenk von jener Heil'gen Nacht denkerln. Eine Sammlung neuer und bereits veröffentlichter Mundartgedichte, Erzählungen und Betrachtungen zum Thema Weihnachten von dem Münchner Poeten Helmut Zöpfl.

The title of my book is one of the poems entitled Life Is Too Short. I added "to Waste" to give the title a more significant meaning. People are getting killed every day at a very young age and a fair number of people were dying of natural causes, and I am sure they have not accomplished their goals when they were killed. I have many pieces in this book, and I hope each and every piece will be comfort and enjoyment to my listeners. This is my second poetry book.

This volume of poetry includes poems which express experiences where conflict has occurred. Conflict may arise from misunderstanding, historical grievances, struggles over control, power and money. Conflict may be borne out of righteous resistance.

Today, we exist in the middle of a world torn by the ravishes of war, progress, and greed and the resulting wood, steel, and mortar that make up much of our habited areas often hide or camouflage the beauty of nature. Momentarily outside a window, a blue jay appears or a city is blanketed with the super whiteness of a snowstorm or even a child sees the annoying presence of a roach or mouse across a kitchen counter, and we pause to remember that natures' voices are all around us, and surprisingly, we are in the middle of it all.

Our experiences in life could teach us various lessons - may it be getting out of addiction, accepting one's self, embracing one's inner child, being alone and peaceful, falling in love, getting wounded a thousand times but coming out stronger, and other messages from life's intricacies....
