Facets of the Poet


Book Description

The poems and stories in this book deal with everyday situations, and place them in a framework that transcends time. They highlight the special feelings and events of the life cycle: the birth of a child, the death of a parent, and all of the rites of passage that intervene. The focus is on commonalities: the shared feelings of human beings across the great divides of culture, continent, and time.




Facets


Book Description

Facets are known in all lives, in our subtle thoughts that speak as a silent voice within, and yet they somehow have the amazing power to change courses and rewrite destinies. Some reflective, some striking a poignant nerve ever reminding us of our own humanity found in these truths felt from a paralleling universe of abstract experience. This is where the magic is found-in the unmined landscape of the artist's imagination. Facets is a journey through this reality of poetry and art. A collection of poems and writings designed to awaken the poet in all of us. Sometimes it takes a lonely walk somewhere to find that a vast and remote landscape is the perfect canvas for a soul to paint light with darkness, heaven with hell, and realize that in the center of all things is this human condition. A muse where had it not been this poetry surely would have lacked the poignant and reflective passion, the true depth of love, and all the deep madness of expression as we paint with hearts in our own statement of this truth. Here we are, from every heartbreak to reprieve and always just as human as we can possibly be.




There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce


Book Description

A TIME Magazine Best Paperback of 2017 One of Oprah Magazine's "Ten Best Books of 2017" "This singular poetry collection is a dynamic meditation on the experience of, and societal narratives surrounding, contemporary black womanhood. . . . These exquisite poems defy categorization." —The New Yorker The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God, and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in the therapist’s office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and deja vu, and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You’re gonna give us the love we need.

Facets


Book Description

In his reflective fifth book of poetry, Facets, Jim Steele lays out the whole trajectory of a man's perspective on love, loss, aging and how his own small world grapples with the changing, larger world. His vulnerable, common man viewpoint draws in the reader in a way that makes his very personal experiences relatable and thought-provoking- he writes what many of us think and feel. Clarity of age and a hint of bewilderment inform each work, and the collection together offers readers a unique insight to this every-man's life.Unlike his previous books, Facets is not divided down the middle, separating positive poems from the darker ones.The reader gets the good alongside the bad. A mixed bag. Much like life.
