Although Terrance Robinson is a well-known artist and professor among his peers and colleagues, his art exhibitions, production and research has never stopped, but it has intensified with writing being at the forefront. Thus, creativity is psychological freedom of the senses and spirit that one cannot control or shut down, which includes writing. With this being mentioned, it predetermined him to explore various genres of expression beyond a flat surface or mass of materials. Knowing these possibilities inspired him to write after orchestrating press releases and marketing materials for several decades. This new venture has led him to write an autobiography that was lost and never recovered at a public library in the Carolinas. He did not stop because of those circumstances, but it empowered him to become even more prolific in writing. This put him in a state-of-mind which there was no returning or surrendering; Robinson was strong-minded to write regardless of his difficulties, because this was what he wanted to achieve among many other accolades. Now, one year and some months later, he birth “Unapologetic” into the atmosphere of poetic literature and the spoken word that’s pressed between these covers; it’s simply breath-taking. The author takes the audience on a journey from positive junctures to real life-changing messages that uplift and even relate to life among masses. His poetic voice is strong but subtle and can touch the hearts, minds and souls of all ages; it is something in this book for all people, regardless of nationality or geographical location. Yes, this is the one poetry book that you must collect because it is amazingly rare among books of today!

2022 Eric Hoffer Awards - Poetry Finalist A poetry collection pulling from the author's personal narrative to take the reader on a journey through family, mental health, grief, pop culture, body image, queer identity, love, joy, memory, myth, and magic. The collection follows a trajectory of 1) exploring identity, avoidance, escapism, and shame, then 2) facing and confronting fears, shame, grief, and self-image, and finally 3) breaking down stigma, searching for joy, finding self-acceptance, and the value of storytelling and sharing as a tool to connect, love, and choose progress.

Ten Poems to Open Your Heart is a book devoted to love: to the intimacy of personal love and lovemaking, to a loving compassion for others, and to the love that embraces both this world and the next. This new volume from Roger Housden features a few of the same poets as his extraordinarily moving Ten Poems to Change Your Life, such as Mary Oliver and Pablo Neruda, along with contributions from Sharon Olds, Wislawa Szymborska, Czeslaw Milosz, Denise Levertov, and others. Any one of the ten poems and, indeed, any one of Housden’s reflections on them, can open, gladden, or pierce your heart. Through the voices of these ten inspiring poets, and through illustrations from his own life, Housden expresses the tenderness, beauty, joys, and sorrows of love, the presence of which, more than anything else, gives human existence its meaning. As Housden says in his eloquent introduction, “Great poetry happens when the mind is looking the other way and words fall from the sky to shape a moment that would normally be untranslatable. . . . When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.” From the Hardcover edition.

Sensual, earthy love poems that formed the basis for the popular movie Il Postino, now in a beautiful gift book perfect for weddings, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or just to say "I love you!" Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda’s love poems caused a scandal when published anonymously in 1952. In later editions, these verses became the most celebrated of the Noble Prize winner’s oeuvre, captivating readers with earthbound images that reveal in gentle lingering lines an erotic re-imagining of the world through the prism of a lover’s body: "today our bodies became vast, they grew to the edge of the world / and rolled melting / into a single drop / of wax or meteor...." Written on the paradisal island of Capri, where Neruda "took refuge" in the arms of his lover Matilde Urrutia, Love Poems embraces the seascapes around them, saturating the images of endless shores and waves with a new, yearning eroticism. This wonderful book collects Neruda’s most passionate verses.
