Living Life: Poems and Reflections by Robin Hosking Pdf
All life is precious, no matter what the reasoning; it should never be easy to harm another life. There is a difference between wishing harm on someone and causing harm to them. In life we are all uniquely valuable and to be robbed of that uniqueness is unacceptable. We all live in this world and we need to be more amicable to our fellow man. This world is not an easy place; the hardest thing for us to do is live here. Love must start somewhere and that is with us. Robin wants to express thoughts of love to inspire others. This is the mission of Robin Hosking’s poetry. If we love, we live. If we stop loving or turn away from the love offered to us, we die. Mother Earth I love you and provide for you with all that I have I nourish you with the food from my ground I hydrate you with my water From all of my lovely plants and trees, you are able to breathe I love it when you come out to visit with me and admire my many scenes When you swim in my lakes and streams, I really enjoy your company, But you are mistreating me….
In this stunning collection of new poems, Mary Oliver returns to the imagery that has defined her life’s work, describing with wonder both the everyday and the unaffected beauty of nature. Herons, sparrows, owls, and kingfishers flit across the page in meditations on love, artistry, and impermanence. Whether considering a bird’s nest, the seeming patience of oak trees, or the artworks of Franz Marc, Oliver reminds us of the transformative power of attention and how much can be contained within the smallest moments. At its heart, Blue Horses asks what it means to truly belong to this world, to live in it attuned to all its changes. Humorous, gentle, and always honest, Oliver is a visionary of the natural world.

Ice cream, ice cream, who wants ice cream? Hundreds of poets not only said a resounding "yes," but wrote about it. And from those hundreds, I accepted the 125 poems you will find here from 27 different states plus Australia, France, Iraq, Spain, and Tunisia. The poems are as various as the flavors of ice cream: long poems, short poems, and in addition to traditional free-verse narratives and lyrics: experimental poems, poems in forms such as sestinas, sapphics, sonnets, prose poems. When I accepted the job of editing, I wondered if I'd be bored by so many poems about ice cream; I wondered whether there would be hundreds of poems about The Good Humor Man or Dairy Queen. But I needn't have worried, I was never bored. The Good Humor Man and Dairy Queen poems were there, of course, but I was amazed by the wide variety of subjects: light humorous poems, sweet poems, lusty poems, dark poems, poems about childhood memories, a poem about Obama's first date, and a poem with Paul Newman in it. I am pleased with this final collection of ice cream poems. I think readers will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed reading and selecting them. --Patricia Fargnoli, Editor, author of Hallowed (Tupelo Press, 2017)
Poems of Living, Loving and Lore. This book is a journey through the seasons of life. Living explores the simple beauty of nature, a childs rapturous delight in rain showers and the beginning of summer; the tragic plight of the homeless, forgotten souls, and our struggles to overcome obstacles and finally have the courage to stand in our own personal power. Loving guides us through deep wells of emotion; the seductive lure of deception, heartbreaking moments of love lost, and glorious heights of passion in love that transcends all. The collections finale, Lore, delights the senses in poetic tales of fantasy, myths, legends and fairies. Classical and traditional writing forms impart a haunting, melodic quality that affirms the depth of feelings reflected in the words, engaging us intimately in the sheer beauty of poetry.

Praise for Written in the Margins "In the preface of this collection, Alma Permar speaks of the resume, or the facts of our lives; the stories, or how we've lived; and the margins, from which we've written little notes to reveal the essence of our journey. The poems herein are those notes, the tidbits that reveal the essence of Alma Permar. Her hope, which she confided to me early on, was that you, the reader, might find in this collection 'some insights or reflections that will be helpful or inspiring.' As you immerse yourself in these poems, allowing their gentle, everyday rhythms to wash over you, I don't doubt that you will find many such insights. Some will nudge you gently, some will whisper in your ear, and others will startle you just enough to evoke a smile. Enjoy." Harvey Stanbrough, author of Beyond the Masks, 2006 National Book Award nominee, www.StoneThread.com "To meet poet Alma Permar is like stepping out of a drenching rain into the arms of sunshine. Her eyes speak in smiles. Her heart in poetry. How is it, we wonder, that Alma Permar can see so far, so deep, so high, so wide, and create her own language of words? And how is it that we, the readers, can understand, see, and feel everything she tells us? Reading her poetry is like looking into a mirror where we find reflections of ourselves stretching, awakening to the wonders of today and the miracles of the past. Written in the Margins is a treasure chest of magic by a gifted writer who puts her own life, and everyone else's, into one glorious masterpiece of thoughts, verses, and songs. Alma Permar has created a book that will touch your soul." Penny Porter, author of Heartstrings and Tail-Tuggers, www.pennyporter.com
