As in his previous works, in "Idiomatic Anomalies: The Dissident Passions of a Malcontent," street poet Richard D. Kydd, Jr. has produced a work of unusual breadth and sensitivity. As usual, his topics range widely. Politics is a common theme; in "Politically - In - Reject," he shows the world as apparently at his "beck and call" through the media, then shatters that illusion with an example of censorship. His trademark cynical, almost bitter condemnation of hypocrisy is blunt in "Curse of Greed," although he can make the same statement more subtly, as in "A Writer's Block." His work is...

"Shine and Shadow" contains the emotion of the moment, which we encounter in the experience of ourselves, and just what it is, that makes us, us.

Many of us are searching for something; some don't even know what they are searching for. What we are all searching for, is meaning in life. Finding meaning in the insanity, large or small, of our everyday lives provides us with the courage, strength and endurance to face them and even triumph.

"On My Trail, In Alien Lands, & Just About Every Other Place On A Spiritual Journey: The Thoughts; the Quotations; the Poems; the Wisdumb of Jeff Haber, " can help in your search for meaning. The author's quotations are a veritable guide of how to conduct oneself, in order to live a worthwhile life...

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR.The reflections contained between the covers of this book are not necessarily intended to entertain but to evoke thought. They are ideas captured by words as simply and concisely as I can present them, and I fully acknowledge mere words often provide only the crudest of outlines. This is not a bad thing, however, because then it is left to the reader to fill in the spaces with creations from his or her own imagination and life experience. The result can be something even better than effortless entertainment. It can lead to such oddities as THINKING, INTROSPECTION, and...

Running In the Evening

I've run until my breath has gone away;
the rising winds disturb the forbidding sands;
the cacti rustle with the close of day,
their blackened forms in all directions stand.
My eyes are dazed from the shimmering heat,
the lemon-gusts of sage dry out my nose;
I look around as evening, like a sheet
of darkened blue, to moonless blackness grows.
A windless rustle eerily crawls away
against horizons always past my sight...
I can't be sure now--what has come my way
could be the wind--or something from the night--
And as...

"Elliott Nonas will be 90 on January 21, '05. Born in Brooklyn, he wrote his first poem at 16: 'He Was Young and He Died' about a friend who was killed sleigh-riding down Snake Hill in Highland Park. Drafted in '41, he spent 5 years in the armed services, rising from Infantry machine gun private to Air Force captain. What best characterizes him is his stunning immediacy and vibrancy as a person and a writing style that expresses him absolutely.

"When you read Elliott, you get the sum total of 90 years of lived experience through his eyes. Elliott's eyes are very sharp. His poems have...

"Persistent in his thirst for excellence, Ron takes the mean, petty, and bleak and turns it into wit, whimsy and wisdom. From the majesty of nature to the capricious nature of melancholy and love, Ron gifts us with honest, integrity and lofty poetry."
--From the foreword, Lee Raffel, MSW, Author of "Should I Stay or Go," and "How Controlled Separation (CS) Can Save Your Marriage"

Judge Me Not

Not by my past which has helped to mold me
Not by my parents whom were there to scold me
Not by my looks, they tend to deceive
Not by my financial stature as money doesn't define me
Look past my color so beautiful and brown
Look past my ancestral features, from royalty I was born
Look past my failures I will be a success
Look past the immediate to glimpse my true self
My soul, my depth, my strength, my inner beauty
My intellectual mind, my ingenuity
All these things you never see, for you take one glance and proceed to judge me

"The Way We See It" is an informal collection of unbiased and unedited writings, poetry and rhyme from promising young writers who grasp the inner thoughts of life as they see it happening. The authors reveal the bare essence of what would be described by true poets as free verse or even urban culture rap by some. Emerging from the high rise buildings on Schroeder Street and the Third Avenue apartments of Mount Vernon N.Y., from "H'mm, looking at us down in their ghettoes..." to the deep South of Bay St. Louis "Ehry Sunday we went to church," each writer is capturing what he or she believes...

Sometimes we need a more ethereal path to find the inner, divine beauty that is the true essence of who we are. "I Am This Close" illustrates in sensual, flowing words, a clear, profoundly meaningful way of just how we can rediscover what has been under our spiritual masks for so long...the fact that we are Love embodied, and we are not separate from ourselves...or each other.

We are this close...surrender, and let the sacred magic of these words take you on this wonderful journey of the purest of love--your own.

Siluk's poetry has been seen in magazines (most recently: "The Mango Tree" (out of India)), anthologies, newspapers, books, interwoven into stories, and in the internet magazines such as www.useless-knowledge.com and www.eldritchdark.com.

Advance praise for "DreamBones"
"With an exquisite sense of line and phrase, these poems--which sing a life intensely led and knowingly lived--evoke the powerful, lyrical rhythms of a light-blest world. Again and again we see here the brilliance of a poet of vision who knew her craft supremely well." --James Hoggard, Texas Poet Laureate, former president, Texas Institute of Letters; McMurtry Distinguished Professor of English, Midwestern State University "Whatever the subject, feeling, or insight portrayed in these exquisitely crafted poems, the imagery is consistently, breathtakingly...

"60 Sonnets 'Original' And 'Streamlined'" respects poetic traditions. The main feature of the collection, an aggregation of 120 Shakespearean sonnets, may be a recurring movement in favor of rigor that has no punctilious formal traditionality. Whatever subject matter might be seen in various examples, many of the sonnets might seem gripping; however, the entire secret of "60 Sonnets 'Original' And 'Streamlined'" probably ends up being in the strict form of the Shakespearean sonnet itself as that basic structure repeatedly is 'honored and obeyed' at least in terms of rhyme pattern, meter, and...

The questions life so often leave us with and those moments we so often find confusing can be answered within ourselves. "Tainted Thoughts on a Purple River" gives us a sense of peace, purpose and reason to move on and taint our thoughts to a river of peace one day at a time.

"Melting Glaciers" is a collection of contemporary and free-spirited lyric poetry that expands our awareness and encourages us to feel one with both nature and mankind.

Author Richard Edgar Zwez's verses inspire a deep longing for the wonders of the natural world, as well as respect for the complexity of life. The seemingly endless existence of a massive glacier is the backdrop for verses that reveal the progression of time. Just as every glacier is slowly melting, each drop of water that falls represents another moment that has passed, never to be experienced again.
