"Genius!" – Wired.com “Marilyn Singer's verse in Follow Follow practically dances down each page . . . the effect is miraculous and pithy.” – The Wall Street Journal Once upon a time, Mirror Mirror, a brilliant book of fairy tale themed reversos–a poetic form in which the poem is presented forward and then backward–became a smashing success.

Then reverse the lines and read from bottom to top and they mean something else–it is almost like magic! A celebration of sight, sound, and story, this book is a marvel to read again and again.

I Could Chew on This by Francesco Marciuliano Pdf

A New York Times bestseller? Oh, you know the dogs weren't going to let the cats get away with that! This canine companion to I Could Pee on This, the beloved volume of poems by cats, I Could Chew on This will have dog lovers laughing out loud. Doggie laureates not only chew on quite a lot of things, they also reveal their creativity, their hidden motives, and their eternal (and sometimes misguided) effervescence through such musings as "I Dropped a Ball," "I Lose My Mind When You Leave the House," and "Can You Smell That?" Accompanied throughout by portraits of the canine poets in all their magnificence, I Could Chew on This is a work of unbridled enthusiasm, insatiable appetite, and, yes, creative genius. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version.

The Resurrectionists by John Challis Pdf

The living and the dead are working side by side in John Challis's dramatic debut collection, The Resurrectionists. Whether in London's veg and meat markets, far below the Dartford Crossing, or on the edge of the Western world, these poems journey into a buried and sometimes violent landscape to locate the traces of ourselves that remain. Amidst the political disquiet rising from the groundwater, or the unearthing of the class divide at the gravesides of plague victims, the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest when a child is born, and something close to hope for the future is resurrected.

Bones by Janette Voski Pdf

Bones is a treasure of a poetry book, a journey of discovery, recovery and profound awareness. Packed with wisdom gained during recovery from deep loss, and a sprinkling of whimsical words, it follows a definite sequence, like the vertebrae of Voski's spine. Opened at random, each poem can be read, enjoyed and pondered alone. However, when read in succession, a quest of realisation and enlightenment will open before you. Voski's love of beautiful words and phrasing shines through, in this delightful jewel. This is the second edition of "Bones". The second edition is a revised version of "Bones", which was originally published in 2019. It has been published as a second edition to include a more reflective lens on one of Voski's most challenging points in her life, after years of its original release. It includes some new poems, as well as an epilogue which provides some insight of the way Voski healed, and viewed her experience, with different perspective. All the while, remaining true to its authenticity.
