The Man of Ravin

About The Man of Ravin:

This is a translation of the first volume of Marco da Cunha’s work “Homem de Rapina: Fados, Versos e Trovas”, originally written in Portuguese, with a select few poems in French and English from the original Portuguese edition. A couple of previously unpublished English-language poetry was included in this edition. In the first volume of the collection ‘Marco da Cunha: Life and Work’, the editor groups some of the most notable poems by the poet from Alentejo, born in Mora, in 1897. Throughout the book it is possible to have an overlook of the various themes that dominate the work of this worthy man, whose international recognition was always larger than in his own fatherland. ‘The Man of Ravin’ includes texts of several types, written in the so-called Silver Period of Marco da Cunha, a period from around 1915 to 1923, during which the Great War happened and deeply scarred the life of this true Portuguese artist.

Hoping For The Best, Just Hoping Nothing Happens by Astone Jackson

About Hoping For The Best, Just Hoping Nothing Happens by Astone Jackson

I remember being 16 with all these plans of who I wanted to be. You’re young and hopeful. Then you grow up and everything crashes around you. You’re left looking at nothing and no one but your intentions of finding better but the thing is you’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else. So just speak your truth. Even if it scares you. Every part of who you are, not just part of you. Time to stop telling your story in second person and say, “I am getting there.” I am getting there.

Feast of Sapphires

About Feast of Sapphires:

Feast of Sapphires is a compendium of a wide variety of poems, covering topics both timely and universal. There are poems of psychic revolution (for those ready to put down the Kool-Aid), poems about pretense and gun control, poems about MRI’s, gambling, and mystical storms of all varieties; then, too, on a deeper level, more than a few of these poems are about the desire to surmount the collective facade in search of a kind of truth that cannot be hyperlinked.

Located from Costa Rica to the LIRR, this metaphysical cartography of anticipation and despair is perfect for those seeking existential answers in the bottom of the tea, in the resonance of a thunder storm, or, even, in the ethereal high of a linguistic flight of fancy. From comedic monologues to existential reflections, from angry rants to insightful commentary, from wily narratives to verbal pyrotechnics, this book aims to make you feel that, in these dystopian times, poetry is, more than ever, relevant and necessary.

New Moon by Half: A Lifetime in Poetry

About New Moon by Half: A Lifetime in Poetry:

Drawn from material written over five decades, this book brings together a remarkable body of work, a lifetime in poetry.

Within these pages Scott Oury explores with honesty moments easily overlooked, and those difficult to ignore: family, love, the human connection with the natural world and beyond, an unoccupied space, a chance meeting in an airport, a forgotten wristwatch–and other instances of unexpected beauty. In the words of the author, “All of it, and much more–whatever captured my eye, or ear, and stirred feeling–got put into words.”

Evocative, lyric and intimate, these poems celebrate the grace found in the mundane, the painful, and the overlooked, forging a new way of seeing for both writer and reader.
