About Flying 4 by Alexandra Psaropoulou:

“So long as there is vision,
So long as it is true and alive,
So long as there is flying,
So long as we can feel it inside
Then we can stand the journey,
Then we can understand the journey…”
FLYING 4, a visual poem from “The Flying series”, continues taking the couple up their path of spiritual development towards an ideal vision. Through pain, resentment, mistakes we all make, through hurting and forgiving each other, the endeavour is to surpass the sad, bitter moments and evolve towards brighter, more joyful vibrations. “Honouring our visions as best we can”. Vivid, innovative designs and words unravel, the initial words and images giving impetus to the next ones, the initial vibrations setting into motion further vibrations, much like the butterfly effect in the theory of chaos. Alexandra’s visual poem and graphics take the reader on a superb inner flight. Graphic poetry, innovative, inspirational, like you have never seen before in a dynamic, leading edge, visionary series: THE FLYING SERIES, is the poetry of the future, making it accessible and appealing to a wide audience of all spectrums.

About Flying 1:

Prologue
The almond tree knows
before all the other trees
The almond tree knows
that Spring is coming
before all the other trees
The almond tree knows
that Spring is coming
so well
it blossoms
in the winter
FLYING 1, a visual poem, is the beginning of “The Flying” series where Alexandra’s long poem and graphics take us on a journey through a magical world which also interacts with the “outside world” in a very subjective way. We all see the world with our own unique soul, perspective and fluctuating vibrations. Dreaming is very important and when we manage to enter our magical world everything appears to us with a touch of our magic……..”and the wind is blowing everywhere”……”The Flying” is about the physical and spiritual dimensions all together. Graphic poetry, innovative, inspirational, like you have never seen before in a dynamic, leading edge, visionary series: THE FLYING SERIES, is the poetry of the future, making it accessible and appealing to a wide audience of all spectrums.

Flying 2

About Flying 2:

FLYING 2 is a visual poem from “The Flying series. There is a very open, direct channel with Source, connecting the physical with the non-physical and a very elevated soulmate relationship. The poet appears to be in a sphere or level which is higher than the earthly one, yet still on earth. As we progress to the next levels of “Flying” the graphics become more and more vivid following the vibrations of the poet’s emotional spectrum that seems to evolve as this book and the entire series proceeds. There is a strong force, visible and invisible, a powerful Universal light flowing “Where energy is rewarded, Where Life gives it all”. Alexandra’s visual poem and graphics take the reader on a superb inner flight. Graphic poetry, innovative, inspirational, like you have never seen before in a dynamic, leading edge, visionary series: THE FLYING SERIES, is the poetry of the future, making it accessible and appealing to a wide audience of all spectrums.

Pamphlet 2020 by Paul Tait

About Pamphlet 2020 by Paul Tait:

Written entirely during the panic and chaos which was 2020 some, but not all, of that is woven into the tapestry that is Paul Tait’s “Pamphlet 2020”.

Being topical was never an intention of Paul’s for he feels it limits the life span of a piece. Therefore be it a musical composition or poem, Tait has generally avoided speaking out on a current event in his work. Some exceptions, like “Paris, 2020”, do manifest.

“Pamphlet 2020” contains the most Tait has written in a single year since his twenties. This is largely due to the supportive writing community he became a part of on Twitter.

As with “Boston Dialect Volumes I and II” all the poems are in the order they were written.

The Knight and the Shieldmaiden

About The Knight and the Shieldmaiden:

Quiet moments he couldn’t find
the day that she entered his mind,
to love a rough-and-tumble girl
he’d risk the wrath of his whole world…

…

A better life she’d never known,
or a good man to call her own,
but when she had all that and more,
she found her love shattered by war…

Brath’in was a young soldier, and the third-born son of a minor noble house. In no position to inherit, he set off to the capital to serve his king and make a name for himself. And he had done so, becoming a commander in the garrison, and a well-respected fighter. But this ‘respectable’ life came to an end with a trip to the fighting pits, where he met Mel’ya, a woman gladiator who had won some small fame fighting and defeating any man that entered the ring with her. Completely taken with each other, they set off on an impossible marriage, defying tradition and the nobility to be together.

But the powers-that-be, and Brath’in’s own family, aren’t thrilled with the match. They’ve set out to do everything they can to break the two apart, a situation made all the worse by simmering tensions in the Kingdom of Aguaiadane. When rebellion threatens, Brath’in finds it’s more than just family trying to split them up, it’s also the causes they stand behind. Soon the two lovers will find themselves tossed into a situation they cannot resolve; desperate to be together, but stuck in a world that might never allow it to be…

The God-like Things

About The God-like Things:

This collection of poetry explores the depth of the human connection – its memories, mysteries, and unique physical wild lands. Walking the distances carved and craved from intimacy, we are led along the circling stairways of life; of the houses we live in, carry, build, and those unlived-in. The poems smell of faith, stars and campfires, with a mystical sense of storytelling, as if following threads of water with each page turning, unveiling layers of the human condition and our capacity for love, despite loss and separation. What emerges is a love story, a hope story, and a story of trust.

At once lyrical and visceral, sensate and esoteric, vulnerable and daring, seductive and ethereal, the poems offer sincere depth; dialogue with time, myth and place; moving seamlessly between philosophical curiosity, folk wisdom and sentimentality, as the author weaves the spiritual within the physical and emotional landscapes of relationships, with an empathic hand. Soul-soothing and providing a warm shelter within words, the story feels like a mother singing us back home, back to our hearts, to settle safely into the core of who we are. From the tangible everyday to the vastness of imagination, this book is a beautiful reminder of the infinite possibilities in the ordinary gestures of our human moments.

Winsome whispers of a lissome soul – Part 2

About Winsome whispers of a lissome soul – Part 2:

The books aren’t sequels to each other

I strung together the words and feelings that resonated deep
within me, from time to time, to end up with this book.
Poetry has the guts to speak of the things, that can never be
spoken. Poetry is honest, being the shimmering light that
condemns and rises over all of the fabricated lies. Poetry fights
and gives love the respect and adoration, it deserves.

Once a Child

About Once a Child:

As many get older, some will have memories that fade. For some generations, it was before digital and often photographs were the story. The recollection was not always concise with feelings undescribed.

The free verse musings of this work trigger the memory of the writer. Happy times and good years are remembered through pen to paper. With humor and wit through seasonal timeframes, the writer rapidly launches forward exhibiting the wonderful and exciting world of the child some sixty years ago. May you be inspired to follow the path and encourage a parent or grandparent to do the same, or better yet, to write at their side.

Black ≠ Inferior by Tolu’ A. Akinyemi

Black ≠ Inferior by Tolu' A. AkinyemiAbout Black ≠ Inferior by Tolu’ A. Akinyemi:

Black ≠ Inferior is a collection of poems divided into 2 parts. The first part is a collection of thematically linked poems exploring Blackness and the myriads of issues it attracts. The second part oscillates themes— talking about consent, a query of death, a celebration of love among others. In his usual stylistic, this collection deals with weighty matters like race and colourism with simple and clear language.

In Black ≠ Inferior, we see Tolu’ Akinyemi reacting in response to the world, to issues that affect Black people. Here, we see a poet shedding off his burdens through his poems; hence, the beauty of this collection is in the issues it attempts to address. In this collection, Tolu’ wears a coat of many colours – he is a preacher, a prophet, a doctor and a teacher.

We see Tolu’ the preacher in these lines:

‘I wish you can rise through the squalor of poverty
and voices that watercolour you as under-represented.
I wish you can emblaze your name in gold,
and swim against every wave of hate.’

This is a collection of poems fit for the present narrative as any (Black) person who reads this collection should beam with confidence at the end. This is what the poet sets out to achieve with his oeuvre.
