This collection of inspiring poetry includes such favorites as I THOUGHT I SAW A RAINBOW, THE LIGHT SHINING 'ROUND THE WORLD and THE WAR NOBODY FOUGHT. Besides poems inspired by Barack Obama's victory, the collection recalls events of the past including THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, THE DAY THE TOWERS FELL and THE LAST DAY OF THE CENTURY. The collection includes rhyming poems and many free or blank verse poems and includes an historical perspective. Subjects such as television, advertising, greed, society in general and yes, love, are confronted in an entertaining manner. A conscious effort was also made to distort and, ultimately, obliterate form in some of the poems. In experimenting with the form and wordplay involved, the essentials of poetry are explored. Meant to be entertaining reading, many of these poems will stimulate you and affect your life in a positive manner. THE DAY THE DREAM CAME TRUE and OTHER POEMS is an homage to hope for anyone seeking peace in the world.

The Short Stories of Langston Hughes This collection of forty-seven stories written between 1919 and 1963--the most comprehensive available--showcases Langston Hughes's literary blossoming and the development of his personal and artistic concerns. Many of the stories assembled here have long been out of print, and others never before collected. These poignant, witty, angry, and deeply poetic stories demonstrate Hughes's uncanny gift for elucidating the most vexing questions of American race relations and human nature in general.

Alex Dimitrov’s third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure—specifically, the twelve months of the year—Dimitrov elevates the everyday, and speaks directly to the reader as if the poem were a phone call or a text message. From the personal to the cosmos, the moon to New York City, the speaker is convinced that love is “our best invention.” Dimitrov doesn’t resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.

In these poems, T.D. Richards imaginatively and unflinchingly examines the oddness of old age- “a rutabaga/ ripening inside us/ unnoticed till winter/ when knuckles sprout knobs/ and lips turn purple, skin/the color of mud.” As the poet presents strikingly original images of old age, he also offers insights related to coming to terms with it. Like Camus’ hero, who creates his life meaning through the task of rolling a boulder uphill, the speaker in Sisyphus in the City finds value in digging up and arranging the touchstones of his life. A snatch of song, two cardinals on the feeder, a grandmother’s potbelly stove, the scent of Shalimar and Old Spice - this and more become “treasure unearthed for one last look.” Shari Wagner, Indiana Poet Laureate, author of “The Harmonist at Nightfall” The pure art of metaphor- “stirring of stone soup” and “rutabaga ripening inside of us”- is evident throughout. But what best demonstrates Richards’s curious eye are the everyday things, like the “earthy scent” that “issues from the unwashed hollow of our arms” and the trash man, “lifting garbage cans like prized trophies won at the Olympics.” And who would not want to be in the car when Fats Domino grabs the wheel heading home from the 1950s prom? John Bowman, published poet and author of “This Could Be the House I Die In” In “Sisyphus in the City,” T. D. Richards’ poems move beyond a dialectic between life’s hardships and its joys, imploring readers to discover the sweetness of life amidst the bitter, and thus we find the characters in his poems humming, dancing, drinking, and celebrating, all while living within the harsh realities of the world. The strength of Richards’ poems are in their message but also in their language. Sensory details create visceral poems that allow readers to feel the worlds and characters he creates. “…..the scent of Shalimar/ and Old Spice blend on the dance floor/ ablaze with the heat of bodies/..” By complementing language with message, Richards leaves readers feeling they’ve traversed life itself, not always easy, yet certainly worth celebrating. Kyle D. Craig, published poet and author of “Invisible Tea.”

“Abyss and other poems”, an anthology of 24 English poems and 1 Hindi poem, is a book of musings. The author, Shakti, regards poetry as a medium to let go of everything that aches within the human self to erupt. Thus, the reader will find the poems filled with turmoils that any sentient being brought up in a similar set-up i.e. a middle class Indian household, goes through! This book has some poems written in third person, some in first and some completely abstract. Thus, to hold each of these sections together, the poems are interspersed with some beautiful illustrations which deserve a book of their own. This is Shakti’s debut publication. He hopes, the reader finds the poems meditative!
