Synopsis

iPoems for the Dolphins to Click Home About is a book of poetry and fun having nothing to do with dolphins. It is for poetry lovers and haters. A richly eccentric book, it delves into themes at the heart of it all: love, loss, and how to kidnap your neighbor´s cat using a lunch box. The book´s 50 poems prove that poetry can be fun and at the same time meaningful and beautiful. These are not the poems your grandma read. These are the poems she wished she had read. iPoem´s verses reveal simple, accessible truths to intrepid readers. "We want to be constantly shown and to constantly show higher vantage points," one line echoes and then answers, "We want magic carpets to carry us under shimmering stars / above everyone else´s lives, where tough questions instead / of being answered are set aside for higher simplicity." iPoems unassumingly achieves this higher simplicity. Its naked truths dig deeply, while its lyrical lines resonate richly. Instead of following the tired modes of poetry´s past, it gives its wistful readers a new verse for the new world.

À propos de l'auteur

After finishing degrees in philosophy and English in Chile, Luke Maguire Armstrong did what any financially oblivious recent grad would do and took out a student loan to allow him to spend a year backpacking from Chile to Alaska. He only made it as far as Guatemala, where, for two years he has been the director of the educational development organization Nuestros Ahijados. The program works to educate 4,000 orphaned and abandoned children so they can break the vicious cycle of generational poverty. His poetry, fiction and non-fiction have never been translated to Swahili. His travel writings can be found at TheExpeditioner.com. His up and coming novel, How One Guitar Will Save the World is currently looking for a home. Follow him on twitter at twitter.com/lukespartacus.
