"Blackout indicates a caesura from which to start again, and from the first to the last word, it makes no concessions. It speaks to us of what is missing and of human hell on earth, but also of what is still possible to return to that human being who is trampled upon every day and in whom we would like, despite everything, to still believe."--Fabia Ghenzovich, winner of the Guido Gozzano (2009), and the Charles Darwin Scientific Poetry Prize (2014) "We travel with Anna Lombardo in the dark; nothing is more poetic than the night that consoles between sighs that fade away while the words get stuck, and the unsaid things stagnate.To talk about emptiness, about the horrors with, and without, war, about the love that remains, perhaps, we need a borrowed language, a traffic of words that if you let them do, they will not only do what they want, they will do what they must. But words carry the scars of our actions, and when the darkness ends, and with it, the hours counted on the fingers (after having buried even the sound of the soul), what will happen to us, or rather, what will not happen to us?"--Brigidina Gentile, winner of Hypatia poetry prize (2011) and Mimosa prize for fiction (2015)

The main aim of this poetry is to express some of the feelings that were created by the deadly Liberian civil crisis that led many dead, homeless and mentally disturbed, socially, morally, and economically imbalanced. The result of these conditions set heavy grief and frustration in my heart as the author of this book. Most of the poems have emotional tones because of the mood and personal experiences of the writer. However, these poems are intended to bring consolation and joy in the minds of its readers in order to let out bad feelings. I am aware that negative feeling, which includes anger, contempt, guilt and fear, must be minimized, if not eradicated in our daily lives.

Although, over time she found a solution through writing and most specifically poetry.Brendas poetry spans three decades and, for most was kept stowed away among her personal affects, only to be found by me, after she had passed away in April 2023.Brendas amazing talent in creating poetry will now receive the applause it deserves, since her ability and skill is now available for all to enjoy.

This book is a direct reflection of what Christ did for me five years ago. I'm ashamed to say for many years I claimed to be a Christian while my actions said just the opposite. I was even called out once. I was asked if I was a Christian and I responded yes. Someone that knew me was standing there. He laughed and said "sure you are". My heart attack six years ago had me thinking more about God but I was still holding on to the worldly things that we are told to refrain from. One day I'm watching television and I come across a pastor that grabbed my attention. In hind sight God got my attention that day. This sermon had a huge impact on me. I didn't really have a relationship with Christ. I hadn't truly surrendered my life to him. Since that day I've been a different person. That's when I finally found my love for Jesus. Out of nowhere I start writing these poems. It was as if God was using my hand to write down words he was putting in my heart. After much encouragement, I had my poems published. It is my desire to glorify my Lord through this work. I hope you enjoy these poems, more so I hope they inspire you in your walk with Jesus.

The book is about transitions in life, whether that transition is good, bad, or just the next stage in life. This book, shown through my poems, also shows the transition of my writing. These poems are a collective of poems that I wrote between 2010 - 2023. You'll find some light and fun while others you may find dark, spiritual and troublesome. You'll recognize the transition in the poems as well as motivation and hope. The Waters Edge is a question on decisions about those transitions and cleansing waters. It is meant to be a window into a life, any life, your life if you relate. You will find the magic of birth, the naivety of youth and adolescence, the maturity of adulthood, the uncertainty and/or loneliness approaching the end of life.

PRESENTATION OF THE AUTHORThe mid-nineties were particularly peaceful, a little tiring, but with a little peace and hope: that's why my poems from that period are less tormented.They are always full of images and full of anxiety, fearful, but happier, with a little hope.My search never stopped and I continued then even towards a new destination, with my longing for truth.ROSSI ARDUINOTranslated from Italian to English with google

A Little World Made Cunningly brings together the author's best poems written over the past ten years in free-form verse and traditional forms, including the sonnet. Many of the poems rely on classroom experiences garnered from a teaching career of fifty-seven years. Family memories account for other poems, and the author's reactions to artistic creations, especially paintings and ceramics, inspired many of the pieces.

This is a collection for multiple readers, an audience not far from ordinary experience.

Throughout life, everyone has opportunities to experience some form and depth of love and romance, and most people have experienced, at one time or another, a broken heart. Love, Romance, and the Broken Heart is intended to be a deep expression of feelings that emanate from the heart of every human being and is also intended to illustrate the fragility of love in its human form. Love, Romance, and the Broken Heart is an outpouring of the soul, a probing of the mind, and an exploration of human expression. The poems in this book were the culmination of the author's observations of the deep emotional crevasses folks traverse when going through a divorce, from the moment love begins through the broken hearts which often bring an end to that relationship. Many poems in this book explore the vast array of deep thoughts and introspection that accompany that experience.

Each epoch of history brings stories of pain, triumph, oppression, freedom, purpose, suffering, grief, and joy. Silent Suffering explores the depths of the human experience through an exploration of the present moment, a time in which postmodern, progressive ideas reign as the societal benchmark for goodness, justice, beauty, and--ironically--truth. This poetic critique of progressive values invites the reader to doubt progressive dogma by critiquing the foundations of the progressive approach to morality and justice. The combination of social and cultural commentary pairs with traditional elements of classical poetry to immerse readers and listeners in the experience of modern nonconformists who silently suffer in the shadows of culture's ever evolving progressive doctrinal creeds. Throughout this critique, readers and listeners are called to ponder the mystery of the human experience, the call to faith in a godless era, and the eternal need for hope amidst the senseless suffering humanity inflicts upon itself.

La poésie est un cristal ardent de neige noire arraché au sommeil comme un diamant prompt, elle exclut toute sentimentalité vague, elle est précise, elle est précieuse et sans manières, elle est minutieuse et surexacte par sa métrique et sa rythmique; elle est chaotique en apparence en ses harmonies inouïes et cependant elle se plie et se déploie comme une rose follement ordonnée en ses tours et pourtours parfumés - elle dit tout ce qui ne se dit que les yeux fermés.
