Synopsis

Preface Another month, August is now being catalogued in the annals of time. There is much going on in our world. There are challenges to our Humanity, our Spirts, our Intellectuality, our Health and every other realm that we humans occupy. This may be coincidence that all that is wrong or right coexists with us alone, or perhaps this may be an errant assumption. Perhaps across the Universe and beyond there are similar, or more complex issues that affect or either challenge the peace or balance of creation . . . perhaps not ! This is what we as Poets are called to do. We are the voices of Reason, Question, Affirmation, Joy, Pain, Consciousness and so much more. Our charge is to take on the issues of our existence that either does, or may have an effect or not only how we live, but how we dream to live as well as how we perceive ourselves, others and the world about us. In this collection of poetry, as in all the other issues of “The Year of the Poet” since January of 2014, i must admit, i am astounded by the great minds and spirits included that choose to share their vulnerabilities, questions and joys with us, the world. Have a read, and sit and ponder the words offered by theses Poets through their interpretations of Poetry. You will be affected in such a way to go beyond your normal “status quo”. Open the Gate ! Enjoy . . . Bless Up Bill p.s. All back publishing since January of 2014 are available in Print and as a FREE Download at : http://www.innerchildpress.com/the-year-of-the-poet.php

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Foreword "There is no such thing as instant poetry. Instant crap, perhaps, but not instant poetry. Even those “geniuses” who appear to pen memorable verse at the first sitting have either spent plenty of time thinking about their lines before even picking up a pen, or have prepared the ground by reading so much that beautiful language comes naturally to them; there is nothing “instant” even about genius. The bottom line: laziness does not create poetry; whatever else poetry is, it involves work. Whether that work is reading more poems so that one gets a better understanding of the range and power of poetry, or reading books about poetry to see what other people say about it, or reading poetry posted on internet workshops and thinking about what’s right and wrong, or writing critiques, or working out the kinks in one’s own poems for oneself, it is still work. Without it, there is no poetry. There’s no fairy godmother, no wand that can make a pumpkin into a coach, a mouse into a stallion, or a group of words irregularly spaced into a poem. Sorry. (adopted from PFFA) Poetry. The transference of life to paper, of thoughts to ink, of experiences to the world. Between these pages, you will not find lazy, no matter how hard you look. You may find magic wands and enchanted pens and amazing ideas. You may even find offenses and challenges and perhaps opinions. You will definitely find offered to you, food for thought. There is a genius in a community of profound thinkers. Poets have the unique reputation of flights of imagination and while this may look easy, I assure you it is no small feat to commit to a second year of a monthly publishing. I suppose you wonder why we do it. We do it because we love the ink. We do it because just maybe the love will spread. We do it because this is how we shape the world. Every action begins with an idea and we give these ideas of change to you. Give a read. Enjoy the pieces. Buy back issues and gift them to others. There is much to be learned from the sharing. Greatfilledly, Gail Weston Shazor
