Synopsis The Purple Palace & Other Poems by : Shayna Klee

The Purple Palace & other Poems is the debut Poetry collection by Artist Shayna Klee. The semi-autobiographical book is divided into two parts and takes place between two countries; Part I, "is a cloud a living thing?", takes place during the Author's tumultueuse teen years with tropical Florida as a backdrop. Part II, "Inside my Shell", explores themes of transformation as the Author creates a new life for herself in Paris, France. The poems in this collection explore the surreal rollercoaster of youth, the performance of identity, being an outsider and the tension between romantic idealism and the dystopic world in which the author finds herself. Her approach to her work as a visual artist is mirrored in her poetry style, which is accompanied by all original illustrations by the Author.

Synopsis I Would Leave Me If I Could. by : Halsey

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Grammy Award–nominated, platinum-selling musician Halsey is heralded as one of the most compelling voices of her generation. In I Would Leave Me If I Could, she reveals never-before-seen poetry of longing, love, and the nuances of bipolar disorder. In this debut collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power. Masterful as it is raw, passionate, and profound, I Would Leave Me If I Could signals the arrival of an essential voice. Book cover painting, American Woman, by the author.

Synopsis The Eye of the Aspen and Other Bad Poems by : Jay Eacker

The Eye of the Aspen If you look at the bark Of an aspen tree Where a limb has been lost An eye you will see. The eye may not see But, if it could, The tree would be made Of more than just wood ... Jay Eacker In a refreshing collection of poetry that intertwines humor with poignancy, Jay Eacker shares fifty or more bad poems that reflect on the world through his eyes. Eackers poetry explores not only relatable subjects such as gardening, nature, sports, love, aging, and life, but also the process of writing doggerel (bad verse). Helped by his wry sense of humor, Eacker makes fun of the annual ritual of sprinkling moneyalso known as flower seedson the ground every spring; rowing a boat that goes nowhere; and indulging in the joy of the nap. Also included are touching poems that reflect on days of fishing with his father, brotherly and young love, and the dreams of youth. In this collection of fifty or more bad poems, a college professor reflects on life, love, and why Warren Buffett is a guy with a lot of fish to fry.

Synopsis One Song by : Michael Green

The extensive body of work by 13th-century mystic poet Jelaluddin Rumi continues to fascinate readers with a taste for the spiritual, and his writings, which speak passionately of truth, enlightenment, and love for God, appeal to those of all religions. Translations of Rumi's writings by the contemporary poet Coleman Barks have sold more than 500,000 copies since 1981. Now acclaimed illustrator Michael Green -- who collaborated with Barks on The Illuminated Rumi -- has produced a new and fabulous mystic fusion of sacred poetry and art. This all-new volume features rare poems of Rumi, some of which have never before been translated. There are many collections of Rumi's poetry, but few are illustrated-and none as gorgeously as this full-color book. It is well positioned to capture the favor of spiritual seekers of all ages, including today's spiritually adventurous young adults.

Synopsis Bad red blue, blue Poetry & other compulsory unpaid labors by : Mikhail Mavrotheris

"This is a work of This", the poet says. This is the fourth book of poetry from Greek poet and writer based in Glasgow, Mikhail Mavrotheris. Colorful poetry full of images, sometimes in the traditional form and most of the times in a more experimental style. It's a book to enjoy and play along with it as the lines and the words expand from page to page. The structure of the book is also associated with the poems in the book. The poetry of the book is based on the concept of "This", a concept the author and his fellows developed one night they were bored and tired-"This" is a new way to put down on paper voice and style and creating the structure of a poem, as he explained. "This" and only "This" because contemporary poetry is boring; This is not.

Synopsis Very Bad Poetry by : Kathryn Petras

Writing very bad poetry requires talent. It helps to have a wooden ear for words, a penchant for sinking into a mire of sentimentality, and an enviable confidence that allows one to write despite absolutely appalling incompetence. The 131 poems collected in this first-of-its-kind anthology are so glaringly awful that they embody a kind of genius. From Fred Emerson Brooks' "The Stuttering Lover" to Matthew Green's "The Spleen" to Georgia Bailey Parrington's misguided "An Elegy to a Dissected Puppy", they mangle meter, run rampant over rhyme, and bludgeon us into insensibility with their grandiosity, anticlimax, and malapropism. Guaranteed to move even the most stoic reader to tears (of laughter), Very Bad Poetry is sure to become a favorite of the poetically inclined (and disinclined).
