Back to the sea, someone said, and many agreed, so they went. Forsaking the land, they stepped cautiously into the waters, like newborns opening their eyes to peer at the world for the first time. What they found was a world that itself, seemed to be alive--shifting and swaying like some gigantic animal. And it was here they found their new home among the rocks and coral, the fish and fauna. Flowing through the waters veins, they quickly became woven into the seas intricate pattern. But they never forgot those who had stayed behind. And they longed, one day, to be with them. Such gorgeous imagery is affecting and evocative... -Clarion Forward Reviews A slim but powerful debut collection of poetry... -Kirkus Reviews
Poetry. "Ann Neelon brings an unique voice to her first book. Her range of personal concerns include the tragedies of the Gulf War, a sojourn in Nicaragua, the Rwandan War, and other episodes of what are called world events, as well as her father's death, domestic love and the birth of her first child. Throughout, she successfully ignores the current obsession with the confessional. Her long lines, interspersed with very short ones, have a tone unlike anyone else's. A truly auspicious beginning" -Denise Levertov.
The tide grabs you bythe ankles and drags youback out to sea every timeyou reach for me. Right? Sayit's the tide. Say it's the sea.Say you are notchoosing this.Kristina Mahr's fifth poetry collection, Say It's the Sea, finds new and simultaneously exhilarating and heart-wrenching ways to blend her familiar lyrical style with further exploration of what it means to be human, to be brave, to love.To go all in and lose it all.To get it back.And to risk it all again.
“The more I sit with these poems, the more they resonate with me and with universal patterns and themes—existential inquiries, loneliness, spiritual doubts.” —Green Mountains Review To Make Room for the Sea reckons with the notion that nothing in this world is permanent. Led by an introspective speaker, these poems examine a landscape that resists full focus, and conclude that “it’s easier to love what we don’t know.” “I hold this leaf I think / you should see, but I can’t quite / say why,” Adam Clay writes, as he navigates a variety of both personal and ecological fixations: disembodied bullfrog croaks, the growth of his child, a computer’s dreaded blue screen of death. The observations in To Make Room for the Sea convey both grief for the Anthropocene and hope for the future. The poems read like field notes from someone who knows the world and hopes to know it differently. On the precipice of great change and restructured perspective, Clay’s poems linger in “the second between taking in a vision and processing it,” in the moment when the world is less a familiar system and more a palette of colors and potential. To Make Room for the Sea delights as much as it mourns. It looks forward as much as it reflects. Deft and hopeful, the poems in this collection gently encourage us to take another look at a world “only some strange god might have thought up / in a drunken stumble.” “That’s the magic of this book—the way Adam Clay, line after line, enacts the mind on the page.” —Maggie Smith “Draws from an impressive repertoire of forms to tease out complex questions regarding time, epistemology, and memory.” —Publishers Weekly
All Roads Lead to the Sea is a first collection of poetry from a young Bulgarian immigrant poet. Her work had already attracted considerable attention, with a special issue of Poetry New Zealand featuring her poems. Her moody, evocative poems brilliantly convey the rootlessness and restlessness of the immigrant, the mingled sense of loss and wonder in the new land, the nostalgia and the longing, the hopes and the memories. The three parts of the book mirror a passage from dislocation to exploration to looking forward, with the last part dominated by the image of the sea. These haunting, powerful poems introduce a fresh and original talent.
Stunning poems of obsession, loss, and the desire for a renewed self, from the award-winning poet “I thought I had left behind the darkness / of the heart,” Arvio confesses in the poem “Small War.” The love Arvio traces in these pages is indeed a battle, one in which the best-laid plans are shattered. Rarely has a poet tackled intimate love with so much invention and bravery. In poem after poem, we meet the troubling lover whose nearness and force undoes her. There are moments of reprieve: “my naked body and budding pleasure / in the weather of your presence. / Not whether your presence but how.” The voice is vulnerable, self-knowing, often funny; the poet seems to be writing these poems to save herself from a devastating passion. Her weapons are a cascade of brash, freely spoken lines and a powerful command of metaphor, wielded in a search for meaning and understanding. These breathtaking love poems make the collection Arvio’s most universal to date.

You Are My Heart, You Are My Soul by Sea Grimaldi Pdf
The poetry book I have painstakingly agonised over is about war, triumph, failures but most importantly about love. It took six years to write with a great deal of heartache, sorrow and bitterness. However, the essence of the book is about how to conquer your fears, anxiety, depression and elation but most of all to see that there's hope. I have had all of these things, but have found love wins in the end. The end poem is my favourite and I hope that it will become yours too. If I've helped just a small number of you whilst you read these poems then know that you can fight back. Be strong..... I hope you enjoy the enjoy the poetry.
