A Life Mostly Lived: True Stories in 85 Syllables (Haiku Quintets) by Dan Dana (10 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

A memoir like no other. The author uses illustrated "haiku quintets" (hence the 85-syllable metric) to tell bite-size bits of his remarkable life from 1945 to present (2022). Beyond his personal story, this memoir recounts the genealogy of his 17th century English immigrant ancestors, a family story shared with thousands of American cousins. He touches on the Viking roots of many of British heritage. Going even deeper, he explores the Neanderthal ancestry of all with European lineage. He boldly reflects upon his own death. He looks beyond today's inflection point in American history. All by means of haiku quintets. A memoir like no other.

Teresita’s Complete Works: Anthology by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified one minute ago

This book contains all the poems I have ever written. The 400 poems are all in chronologically order. My first poem was written in 2002, when I was in Eight Grade. School was always frustrating. As someone, who was not a native English speaker, I was often lonely and isolated. Even among my Spanish speaking peers, we had nothing in common. One day, while in eighth grade, I was tasked to write a Sonnet. I dedicated it to my Dog, Pluto. I really cared for that dog. He came to my life during a difficult time. My poor father had just died from cancer, and the dog filled the void. As the years passed, I kept writing poems as a coping mechanism. They became a lot more sparse during my University years. I was far too busy writing Essays. So, if you are interested in the poems of someone who wasn't your typical student, do read this book.

Dead Water: Selected Poetry: Selected Poetry (Poetry of life and death Book 1) by William Cook (King Billy Publications) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Dead Water: Selected Poetry is the first book in the series 'Poetry of Life and Death.' Inside this selection of verse that deals with themes of life, death, and philosophy - the reader will encounter a dark symbolist style of poetry imbued with the horrors of human frailty and mortality. From a reader's review: "Prepare for a journey: a path made of words that twists and turns through a landscape familiar and yet foreign. These poems will make you feel as if you are racing along the tracks of life and sliding through this world we take for granted. There are many visions you will see along the way... When your destination is reached, you will stand laid bare, able to see and be seen in a kaleidoscope of enlightenment. But will the dawn spit you out, or will you be trodden underfoot into the warm earth? Of love and loss, life and death, much will be revealed in the searing ocean depths. But will you tread the tempest, or be plunged into the roiling sea?" - Donald White

The Last Man by R L Swihart (1 Review)    Price verified 51 minutes ago

For at least two good reasons, I've decided to rerelease The Last Man, my first book of poems, on my own: It has gone out of print -- both in paperback and via Kindle; and a few good readers (faithful, curious, random), missing it the first time around, may just want to "have at it." The look has changed a bit (minor changes in cover and text), but essentially it's the same book. I don't know that it's even me anymore, but certainly it was an earlier self. Half the poems I still have a fondness for, the other half I only half-remember.
