Global Dream of Poetry Forever is a collection of words and ages of century till today. I have related their cultures, histories, and geographies to my feelings I feel are described in art. Poetry is expressions of emotions, rhymes, and metaphorical symmetries to the writer’s expo in words relative to people. I see my resembled words ministered by the honesty, diligence, and carefully boosted inventiveness latched into hearts and spoken in metaphorical descriptions and magical words that rhyme with times together in place, history, and time to bring the spark of light into the stars of sight and the bright feeling so we see the meaningful life we share as a neighbor, a friend, a lover, a wife from husband to a child to a civilization in place of history or time symmetrically sealed inside spiritually chiming bells by true love. It’s the feeling we individually feel that touch our minds and lifts our spirits to the top of the rainbows, to our pots of gold blessed by the unicorns, to the imaginarily lands of peace, love, joy, and our life's happiness eternally and forever. This is what I feel about people in my life and words I wrote in my book, Global Dreams of Poetry Forever. God bless us all on this day and forever. Today we feel what we will feel for each other in visages and venial passages tunneling inside our life force dwelling within us to be united and not ever part with our hearts of love for each other.

Overview coming soon

Nigerian poet Ifeanyi Ogbo delivers a short collection of enchanting, ethereal poems about hope, faith and love all the way from Africa.

"The present Anthology contains a number of representative poems produced by English-speaking men and women. The editorial policy has been humanly hospitable, rather than academically critical, especially in the case of some of the verses written by soldiers at the Front, which, however slight in certain instances their technical merit may be, are yet psychologically interesting as sincere transcripts of personal experience, and will, it is thought, for that very reason, peculiarly attract and interest the reader. It goes without saying that there are several poems in this group which conspicuously succeed also as works of art. For the rest, the attempt has been made, within such limitations as have been experienced, to present pretty freely the best of what has been found available in contemporary British and American war verse." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

For The Dreamers Eternal Stars Shine Forever

This book examines the life and work of Mazisi Kunene, the only recognized poet laureate of Africa, a Nobel Prize nominee, and a key symbol of African cultural independence. Kunene is widely recognized for his epic poems that assert cultural identity and condemn the disruption of the growth and development of African culture through colonialism/postcolonialism. This book explores how ‘oraliterature’ and cultural traditions informed Kunene’s poetry, how Kunene’s poetry highlights African women and mothers, and how activism, mythology and transnational identities are depicted in his verse to promote cultural and generational continuities from Africa to the Diasporic Africans. Drawing on a range of interviews and comparative studies, the book situates Kunene’s work in a wider conversation about South African social struggles. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of one of the giants of African literary history. As such, it will be of interest to researchers across African literary and postcolonial studies.

Poetry after Cultural Studies elucidates the potential of poetry scholarship when joined with cultural studies. In eight searching essays covering an astonishing range of poetic practices, geographical regions, and methodological approaches, this volume reflects on what poetry can accomplish in the broadest social and cultural contexts. From Depression-era Iowa to the postcolonial landscape of French-speaking Martinique, whether appearing in newspapers, correspondences, birders’ field guides, cross-stitches, or television and the internet, the poetry under consideration here is rarely a private, lyrical endeavor. For a great number of people writing, reading, publishing, and using poetry over the past 150 years, verse has not been a retreat from modern life, but a way of engaging with, and even changing, it. Whether the subject is post cards, talk shows, or verse from places as different as academia and MySpace, as cultural production and as literary trickery, the material examined in this volume demonstrates the central role of poetry as an active cultural presence. By bringing together cultural studies, poetics, and formalist reading without antagonism, Poetry after Cultural Studies looks toward a poetry criticism that does not merely “do” cultural studies but, rather, employs the resources of that discipline to examine an increasingly legible and audible record of poetic practice. Exploring a wide range of poetry from the nineteenth century to the present, Poetryafter Cultural Studies showcases the unexpectedly rich intersection of cultural studies theory and current poetry scholarship. These essays show forcefully that cultural studies and poetics—once thought incommensurable—in fact are mutually informative and richer for the effort.
