This book is an inspirational poem book, filled with a variety of different poems. Some of these poems reflect my life before I met God, some may reflect your live now or what your life use to be like. They all have a special meaning to me. The title of the book is "Poetry With An Attitude," because our attitude has to do with how we perceive things, and how we treat one another. If we possess negative attitudes, we are more likely to make bad choices, such as, drugs, alcohol, and cursing, and mistreat one another but when we have positive attitudes we are more likely to learn more, we go further in life, and we bless others. Poetry With An Attitude, is a poetry book that explains that our attitudes have consequences. For example, there is a poem called, "Getting Divorced," the attitudes that the two parties involved in the divorce are bad attitudes, which resulted in getting divorced. God is pointing out that our behavior toward one another is based on our attitudes. This is a call to those who go by his name "Christian" to do better, as well as, to others who want to live a good life. When I perform these poems I do present them with an attitude as well, which brings out there meaning.

It's been a long time coming for a dynamic book of poetry, such as this. The project contains beautiful, faith-filled, biblically-related poetry that will touch the hearts of people from all walks of life. The poetry is written and expounded upon to reveal the author's beliefs and feelings; and when scripture is used, it reveals exactly what the bible is saying to people today on a myriad of different topics in our daily living. Your soul will be indeed lifted to a higher height, touched in such a gentle manner, taken to a deeper depth of knowledge, and moved beyond mountains while reading this devotional book of poetry and commentary. The author sets the tone of this book by being blatantly honest, but is fair, meek, and wise in his approach at explanations. He wants you to hear the "attitude," mindset, pulse, or disposition of your conscience while reading, in hopes that you won't want to put this work down on the coffee table until finished. The attitude principles or "truths" contained in the book are already provided in the Word of God, but are uniquely demonstrated through poetry arrangements in the context of having a great, Godly attitude through varying situations. Although a Christian poetry book, these concepts can be read and practiced by everyone from all communities, no matter what background all derive from or environment one may have been exposed to as a child, youth, teen or even an adult. This book is full of eye opening messages, but whatever is acquired from this work, it's the writer's heartfelt desire that you attain something uplifting about a positive "latitude of attitudes" to help in your daily journey. Hopefully, these poems will inspire you today to encourage yourself in the Lord, God!

An impassioned call for a return to reading poetry and an incisive argument for poetry’s accessibility to all readers, by critically acclaimed poet Matthew Zapruder In Why Poetry, award-winning poet Matthew Zapruder takes on what it is that poetry—and poetry alone—can do. Zapruder argues that the way we have been taught to read poetry is the very thing that prevents us from enjoying it. In lively, lilting prose, he shows us how that misunderstanding interferes with our direct experience of poetry and creates the sense of confusion or inadequacy that many of us feel when faced with it. Zapruder explores what poems are, and how we can read them, so that we can, as Whitman wrote, “possess the origin of all poems,” without the aid of any teacher or expert. Most important, he asks how reading poetry can help us to lead our lives with greater meaning and purpose. Anchored in poetic analysis and steered through Zapruder’s personal experience of coming to the form, Why Poetry is engaging and conversational, even as it makes a passionate argument for the necessity of poetry in an age when information is constantly being mistaken for knowledge. While he provides a simple reading method for approaching poems and illuminates concepts like associative movement, metaphor, and negative capability, Zapruder explicitly confronts the obstacles that readers face when they encounter poetry to show us that poetry can be read, and enjoyed, by anyone.
