Joys (Joies in French) is the fourth book of poetry written by Francis Vielé-Griffin (1864-1937). It was first published in 1889, when Griffin was 25 years old. Griffin was American by birth, born in Virginia. As a boy of seven or eight years old, he was sent to France by his father to attend school; he remained.Francis Vielé-Griffin was an adherent, and one of the principal and early practitioners, of the Symbolist movement in poetry, which grew out of the Decadent movement of poetry. An intimate friend of Stéphane Mallarmé, Griffin was also a great believer in free verse.In his own words, Griffin says this about Joys:"The verse is free verse; - which means nothing more than that the ¿old¿ Alexandrine with one or more ¿cæsura,¿ with or without ¿rejet¿ or ¿enjambment,¿ is abolished or put down; but - more generally - that no fixed form is considered as the necessary mold anymore for the expression of all poetic thought; that, from now on, but consciously free this time, the Poet will obey the personal rhythm that must be, without M. de Banville or any other ¿legislator of Parnassus¿ intervening; and that talent shall resplend in different ways than by the traditional or illusory ¿vanquished difficulties¿ of rhetorical poetics: - Art is not merely learnt, it recreates itself continually; it does not live by tradition, but by evolving."
In this collection of poetry, the poet and scientist, Joseph Warden, explores the interface between life and dreams, memory and loss and the connections that both bind and separate us. Illustrated with both original and computer-assisted artwork, quotidian life is depicted in its many facets, both personal and universal.
Elizabeth O. Ogunmodede, only sixteen and has been published several times already, has her own lifestyle of the poet's program. I was interviewed by this star; and she is also creating her own magazine. In fact, she has many dreams, including coming to the USA for college. She is a brilliant young mind, and the world is her oyster. I'm confident she discovers her pearl. She is a Guardian of the Quill, reserved for a special poet. She is that and more. Let me begin with the END in mind. Listen up people, gather around...shhhh, I have something to foretell. She will be the brightest of the bright, and she will be a reason that this world goes forth. It's a real mess out there. So much strife, wickedness, war, and pain. It is so awesome to have this beacon, this star, because she shines bright already. Mark my words, she is a North Star, and the sky has never been brighter. It is indeed a privilege immeasurable to do her foreword. She is simply remarkable, and I am confident you will discover it too. Elizabeth, I am proud of you, and I will always be happy to help you along your way as you Assail to your true prominence.

Maeve Holler's debut collection, HOW TO LEAVE YOUR FAMILY, inspects the idea of family, the creation and destruction of it, and what being part of one really means. The book poetically and speculatively retraces the life story of Holler's late grandmother-who grows up in Mississippi, escapes an abusive relationship, and flees to Georgia, only to leave her two children behind-and the mass of folklore that has always surrounded her. Holler's poems follow the aftermath of this story and pick up the pieces her grandmother left behind, and together, ultimately taking the shape of a multigenerational, coming-of-self narrative of witness.

William writes for his pleasure and for the pleasure of those who might read his poems. Statement from the author: "When I write a poem, I don't seek to necessarily constrain that poem by any formal poetic style or technical form, I just write imagistically. I write in a nonce and a free form style, sometimes more of a narrative style. I write out the words as they sound right to me, while trying to stay true to the intent of the poem and what I am trying to convey to the reader. I prefer to allow the reader to understand what the poem has to say, not guess. Then, the reader can interpret and contemplate what it means to them, they don't have to speculate, just hopefully enjoy what the poem was trying to say.

From the Author and Beautiful Warrior: The year that Carolyn died, I thought I had already seen everything that was difficult in this journey we call life. Her suicide was like a slap into my reality. Mental illness robs one of their logic. Even in my hardest times; I had my logical mind to help me rise above very difficult obstacles. If I had only one message to convey to my readers, it is compassion. Please share in the compassion my heart wants to express for the suffering during Carolyn's illness. Let's open our minds and hearts, not with judgments when we don't understand, but with kindness and love. We can be a "Heart Mender" for each other. Beautiful Warrior Poetry & Prose is a book consisting of poetry and prose about different aspects of my life. It shows that we all have similarities and differences, but most of all it shows beauty and insight into the Warrior Spirit that the author believes is in all of us - Did you see her?... Take the time to find her... Did you see her? That beautiful warrior of light. Who has eyes that blaze like amethysts... The light from them has burned through the darkness. She can see a new horizon.
This book is a compilation of poems that I wrote throughout myhighschool years. Most of the poems I wrote as a way of getting mythoughts organized, to try and come up with an answer to a question, or as a way to express myself. The poems were also a way to get people thinking. Some of these poems were more personal, trying to use words to express a feeling. The majority of them were me just trying to explore thoughts, concepts, and imagery.I decided to get my poems published as a way to touch people'shearts. To inspire others like me, young authors, and those who struggle with mental disabilities, learning disabilities, or both. It can feel daunting to try something that you dream of doing when it feels like you are steps behind everyone else. I hope this book can be an inspiration for at least one person to feel like they can achieve their dream or calling. This is not a book about dreams, this book is the achievement of a dream.
As a child on a cold Christmas Eve in a country farmhouse in the early 1950s, R. Olin Jackson sat mesmerized before a crackling warm fire in the hearth at his family home in the mountains of northwest Georgia, as his father read - in a deep sonorous voice - Clement Clarke Moore's immortal "T'was The Night Before Christmas." Olin, his brother, David, and sisters Patricia and Mary were fascinated and awed by this wonderfully-lyrical work of art, just as children occasionally continue to be even today. The unique verse in Moore's poem introduced Olin to the inspirational world of that art and its poignant influences upon life.Even though he didn't know it at the time, poetry was to become incremental to Olin's life. Inspired by such masterpieces as Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening," the captivating Kipling's "If," John Greenleaf Whittier's "The Barefoot Boy," and the incomparable Longfellow's "The Wreck of the Hesperus," Olin eventually began making lyrical attempts of his own.On the pages which follow, a handful of those efforts are presented for the reader. In these heart-felt simple works, Olin has presented a picture of, perhaps, the forces at work as one pursues his or her daily life, and further, musings of the manner in which the Almighty demonstrates to each and every one of us what truly is important in this life so fleeting. . . .
