Blood Flower


Book Description

In Blood Flower, passionate imagery married to music bursts from each line pushing out the boundaries of Uschuk's earlier poems. It continues themes in Uschuk's American Book Award winner, Crazy Love. The poems braid the startling, sometimes brutal stories of her Russian/Czech immigrant family during the McCarthy Era in a conservative Michigan farming community with stories of veterans with stories of courageous individuals, especially women, who persevere to love, despite it all. Uschuk's step-grandfather, father, brother, nephews and first husband suffered severe PTSD as combat veterans who returned home from wars that ravished not only their lives but the lives of the women and children closest to them. This is the history not just of one family but the history of immigrants in this nation. These poems, although set in landscapes across the globe, commonly draw their imagery and healing from the natural world, the wild world, and the integrity of the human heart.

Original Hip-Hop and Old-School Songs and Soul Poems of the Seventies


Book Description

Mr. William Pratt was born on June 17, 1954, and his journey through life was bittersweet. He feels like these songs and poems are and will stand up to the test of times. Some will make you happy, and some will make you cry, but most you with truth, love, and harmony. Even though he's a man, when he wrote these songs and poems, he felt like a giant, and all his songs and poems are as vast as the universe, and he hopes these songs make the weak and unhappy souls strong. He tossed in some fantasies, which we all need to escape from reality sometimes and the reader's natural high. So enjoy his songs and poems; they're like his mother's jambalaya--a little bit of everything in a bowl and spicy to complete.
