A complete mish-mash of 130 mostly rhyming poems on subjects from dancing kangaroos to angels, remembrance, joy, weather, sorrow, love, moles, dragons in various sizes, fairy blacksmiths, war, ecology, and many less easily defined subjects. About thirty have been published previously here and there, usually singly in themed publications. From four lines to sixty verses, there's probably one you'll love and one you'll hate. There are also four short stories which are about gun running, fantasy aliens, a faithful hound, and a young wolf asking a rabbit to help him find fast food.

From Sarajevo, with Sorrow restores all that is offensive, despairing and necessary to our understanding of war by capturing the poems’ original power and humanity. This collection contains both previously unpublished poems, written “under the candlelight” of the siege, and new poems returning to the sniper’s alleys and bunkers of Sarajevo. This is a disturbingly resonant, timely and important collection.

Thou feel as if you've scaled Mt. Everest, perceiving life 24/7 within channels which could not exist, yet your frequency remains a life that they missed.Why reach for the stars when you're already roller-skating on Mars?Why watch visuals on a 4K TV when the world around us is our own private IMAX screen?Why just listen when you can cry, scream, laugh and fall apart all at the same time?Eyes outside of your head peering in, staring into your thoughts from all that's forgot. Venturing in and out of existence, losing my marbles, requiring more and more until you can't handle it anymore...A story that starts in the beginning, middle and end - then rewinds all over again.

A groundbreaking anthology containing the work of poets who have witnessed war, imprisonment, torture, and slavery. A companion volume to Against Forgetting, Poetry of Witness is the first anthology to reveal a tradition that runs through English-language poetry. The 300 poems collected here were composed at an extreme of human endurance—while their authors awaited execution, endured imprisonment, fought on the battlefield, or labored on the brink of breakdown or death. All bear witness to historical events and the irresistibility of their impact. Alongside Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, this volume includes such writers as Anne Askew, tortured and executed for her religious beliefs during the reign of Henry VIII; Phillis Wheatley, abducted by slave traders; Samuel Bamford, present at the Peterloo Massacre in 1819; William Blake, who witnessed the Gordon Riots of 1780; and Samuel Menashe, survivor of the Battle of the Bulge. Poetry of Witness argues that such poets are a perennial feature of human history, and it presents the best of that tradition, proving that their work ranks alongside the greatest in the language.

Frugal Poets' Guide to Life is part personal journey, part life-coaching for poets (or those who'd like to live like one), part creativity guide, and part reference, with a special section on the modern history of the Chicago poetry scene, including the birth of the poetry slam. In many ways, this book is an anti-MFA guide to being a poet - or any other type of creative person. As poet Robert Frost said, " To be a poet is a condition, not a profession." Some of Gallaher's more personal sections of the book trace dating a well-known underground comics artist - dinner at a Denny's restaurant with an Academy Award Best Actor -- seeing a UFO in central Wisconsin - a night when poet and men's movement icon Robert Bly was "tarred & feathered" at a poetry reading -- play rehearsals at David Mamet's Chicago theater featuring then-unknown actor William H. Macy - how she met her poet husband, Carlos -- reflections on Gallaher's family relative, artist and member of the Algonquin Round Table, Neysa McMein -- visits and stays at a variety of writers' colonies around the country -- and celebrating how friend Sandra Cisneros launched an international literary career starting with a little eight-poem chapbook at a humble bookstore in a Chicago Puerto Rican neighborhood.

A dark, no-holds-barred, and often hilarious collection from a prize-winning poet, veering between the poles of self and world. Kim Addonizio’s sharp and irreverent eighth volume, Now We’re Getting Somewhere, is an essential companion to your practice of the Finnish art of kalsarikännit—drinking at home, alone in your underwear, with no intention of going out. Imbued with the poet’s characteristic precision and passion, the collection charts a hazardous course through heartache, climate change, dental work, Outlander, semiotics, and more. Combatting existential gloom with a wicked, seductive energy, Addonizio investigates desire, loss, and the madness of contemporary life. She calls out to Walt Whitman and John Keats, echoes Dorothy Parker, and finds sisterhood with Virginia Woolf. Sometimes confessional, sometimes philosophical, these poems weave from desolation to drollery and clamor with raucous imagery: an insect in high heels, a wolf at an uncomfortable party, a glowing and self-serious guitar. A poet whose “voice lifts from the page, alive and biting” (Sky Sanchez, San Francisco Book Review), Addonizio reminds her reader, "if you think nothing & / no one can / listen I love you joy is coming."
