Poesía trasnochada e inspirada en la decantación de ideas, sueños y delirios nocturnales; especialmente cuando las musas de inspiración cierran los ciclos rutinarios de los días y se preparan para el siguiente. Despierto Hasta Tarde nos lleva en ese viaje que trasciende las realidades de la rutina sin abandonarla. Un periplo de la magia literaria que nos ofrece Luis Augusto Graterol en otro de sus trabajos que se mueve desde las más triviales descripciones de lo absurdo, hasta las mas complejas profundidades oníricas de sus sueños e ilusiones virtuales. Aquí somos confrontados por la complejidad de lo simple y la sencillez de lo profundo; todo en un lenguaje suelto y libre de ataduras convencionales. Se acerca a la anti poesía, la atraviesa, la ocupa, la vive y después la abandona en búsqueda de la luz de las interpretaciones. Despierto Hasta Tarde interpreta la cotidianidad de las cosas mas sencillas y las tamiza con el reposo del guerrero que descansa pero no duerme, que sueña desvelado y permanece en vigilia creativa hasta hacer dormir las pasiones que lo mantienen despierto y huyendo de lo inexorable.

The theme of this year's LA Poetry Beach Festival was 'I Never Could Talk To You, ' a line from Sylvia Plath's poem, Daddy. It's the first time that we commemorated a female poet. In the two earlier events, we commemorated Kenneth Patchen with 'Get Ready To Die' in 2021 and Charles Bukowski with 'Some People Never Go Crazy' in 2022. The 3rd LA Poetry Beach Festival was the hardest one of all. I invested more time and money than ever in this six-day, coast to coast poetry festival that I first gave America in 2021, to celebrate my 50th birthday. This year, a fake NY Times reporter ran off with my money, and I had to cancel in April the Poetry Cab as I couldn't register my old NYC yellow cab that I just turned into a Poetry Cab at DMV. And then, while I was driving with a rental car from New York to Los Angeles to promote our festival during National Poetry Month, I had to drive back from Fort Madison, Iowa, after my best friend in New York had a stroke. It was life or poetry. And I chose life! LA Poetry Beach Festival combines four mini poetry festivals.- Poetry Pool Party (September 19)- Poetry Train (September 19-23)- L.A.P.D. (September 23)- LA Poetry Beach (September 24).

Un viaggio attraverso stati d'animo, riflessioni, sentimenti. La poesia può essere un mondo ma ancor più una via per esplorare il proprio "Io" più profondo. Così come era l'Assenzio per molti poeti dei secoli scorsi, immergersi in questi versi è come respirare quel profumo forte di alcool e anice che spandono il petto e trasportano la mente in un viaggio trascendentale.Un viaggio in fondo dove non si può altro che dire la verità. IN ABSINTHE VERITAS

Las luchas de la vida comienzan desde el primer momento que abres los ojos. El llanto es la puerta que se les abre a los demonios para que empiecen a hacer su labor en la historia que apenas principia.Habrá demonios que te acompañen toda la vida y, si no te atreves mirarle a los ojos, serás una esclava de sus decisiones. El amor te acompañará a medias pues, la soledad será tu bastón mientras decides permanecer caminando quebrada de esperanzas e ilusiones.Deberás descubrir con muchas lágrimas, sangre y dolor de por medio qué viniste a hacer a éste mundo. No sabrás si vives o mueres mil veces al mismo tiempo, tu respiración en muchas ocasiones será un engaño, muchas más preferirás no sentir que el aire entra a tu nariz.El llanto con el que llegaste a la vida te escoltará durante cada segundo de tu existencia. Unas veces verás cómo tus ojos claros se opacan y otras llorarás a mares en silencio. Harás tu propio mar con gotas de llanto.La única manera que sobrevivas a las miserias con que viniste marcada es que consigas la manera de salvarte. Nadie lo hará por ti.¡Sálvate!Paola, escribe porque un diagnostico no es el final de la vida, es el inicio a un vivir diferente.

Anti-Poetry is a poetry book that breaks all the rules. Filled with "Anti-Poems" written from the deepest depths of my soul and without limitations. Foreward: I did not set out to write a book. This all started with me trying to find an outlet for the thoughts floating around my "tortured mind". I stumbled upon the medium of poetry not because I loved it, but because I hated it! ...(at the time). "Poetry" can be confusing. I felt that poetry was a restrictive medium masquerading as the opposite. There seemed to be patterns and rules to follow for what makes a "good poem". In plain sight, trends became unspoken rules over time.And yet I do love the essence of the medium: the expression of indescribable phenomena; Human Emotions. And so I decided one day after writing many poems that seemed to break all the rules of poetry, to write a book, because something interesting started happening: I began to love these poems that I hated.Understand that the words in this book do not intentionally adhere- at least not consciously- to one theme or structure. These are a bunch of words I wrote that made me feel something, or rather connected me a bit closer to what I was feeling as I wrote them. And so, what started out as my little "punk-poetry" experiment became something much more beautiful than I had intended. There are real poems in here, not just ones I created to break the rules of poetry. Some are weird, some are bad, some are beautiful, some are ugly, some are more like journal entries. Some, you may not consider "poetry" at all. Whether you love, hate, are confused by, or inspired by these Anti-Poems, just know they came from an unfiltered heart. I hope you enjoy at least one. Thank you for reading my first book - "Anti-Poetry". Love, Jihad

Possible Trigger Warning This body of work was a side project that started as I attempted to finish another book. The idea came to me as I spoke to myself one night as I often do. I didn't want the thought to be a passing one, so I grabbed my pen and notebook. I had an internal conflict regarding the title. I changed it twice but decided to go with my first thought. Some of these things I have said aloud but not said loud enough or with conviction. Some things I have only said to me. Now that I read them back to myself I feel a wave of different emotions running through my veins. Some of these things I have not thought about in years some even more than 30-40 years. Some things I never noticed or realized until recent years. I often say that some things happen for a reason though we may never know the reason. I paused during the writing of this book to take a long look at myself in the mirror as well as to say that I am sorry aloud. I thought of the people that may or may not have been involved. I stopped to wonder why it even happened and if that was something that had to happen in order for me to be in this place. NIMA

The Gods of Time are dead and with them their histories. Stripped of artificeI wear no other past than this: He was sending me awaysinging my song into the fog casting my melody into the Lost Oceanto become Someone. "Spend some quiet time with these pages. There is more wisdom wrapped in more beauty in them than you can find in a dozen volumes of erudite philosophy. Ada Pembroke writes with grace. Many poets do that. What distinguishes her is that she actually has something to say that can change how you look at your life."- Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky "From the title itself through the final lingering line, this book is a fascinating and evocative narrative conveyed through poetry that retains the strange, haunting quality of the dreamworld from which its inspiration emanated."- Sarah Kate Istra Winter, writer, artist and devotee

This is my first published collection of poetry. It sums up the experiences, thoughts, interactions, and perspectives that I have had between the ages of 19 and 23. This began as a way to shorthand journal about my choices and my thoughts, but ended up as much more of an expressive diary of a brief period of life, through my eyes. I wanted to share these in case anyone else could benefit from my experiences, as well as to give people something to think about. This is true human poetry, about life as I see it.
