Being in touch with feelings--naming ones stirred up by a loss--can be critical in terms of moving ahead productively. Loss comes in many different packages: losses of relationship whether by death, divorce, or some other means; loss of status as per experiencing retirement or down-grading with respect to jobs; material loss whether homes, savings accounts, etc.; loss of function whether declining health, loss of a body part, etc. Whatever the loss there is an accompanying need to grieve. Wright's own experience of a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis has been her most challenging loss in life. Her poetry is honest in terms of the feelings she has faced. Instead of glossing over the challenges of loss, she attacks them head-on. This is especially true in terms of the conversations she has with God. Her desire is to grant permission for readers to be equally honest in terms of feelings they encounter with respect to their losses in life.

The experience of the afterlife is, normally, considered to take place after death. Death is seen as a wall of partition between those living and those departed. ""Dead and gone"" are words often used to describe the departed. The writer of these poems was at his wife's bedside when she took her last breath. Anyone observing the horror and desperation the author expressed at that moment would have concluded that he truly believed his wife was dead and gone. In fact, he did believe she was dead and gone. A grief counselor suggested to the new widower that he keep a journal of his experience. He started keeping a journal which, from the start, was a dialogue between him and his ""departed"" wife. The prose dialogue soon became peppered with poems. The widower began to notice that there were, sometimes, correlations between what was written in the poems and his daily experience. The poems and his daily experience became for the new widower proof enough that the afterlife can be experienced this side of the grave.

Trailing Clouds of Glory is a lifetime of work by the author Marion Lauretta (or Rita) Simmons. She fervently hopes that her poetry and prose of spiritual wonders and thoughts will fill your heart with peace, love, joy, and gratitude.The book had its beginnings in 1958 when Rita was twelve years old. She began writing a poem that is a testimony to the pre-existence and the plan of salvation. She wrote two verses and then put them away, knowing that one day she would complete the poem. Six years later, at the age of eighteen, she was invited to speak at a church-sponsored tristate youth conference held at a university in Arkansas. It was then she remembered the treasured verses of her unfinished poem. Taking it out, she began composing the remaining verses and a miracle happened. The words began to flow so swiftly she had difficulty writing them down quickly enough. It was as if the Spirit was whispering into her ear...urging her to write even faster. And then it was finished!The creation of the poem "Trailing Clouds of Glory" was a spiritual and wondrous experience, and it was well received at the youth conference. It has always been her favorite and touches her heart in a profound way, being her testimony of the eternal life of all humankind. Friends and family alike who have heard or read her poem have often asked for copies. The prelude to the poem is also an important read that tells of an uplifting experience that took place in Anchorage, Alaska in 1970...also a miracle that really happened.Her poem "The Gift Supreme" speaks about the atonement, the price our savior, Jesus Christ, paid for the redemption of each of us because of his infinite and perfect love. And concerning his subsequent resurrection she writes that Christ was:The first fruits of them that slept,The prophecy of old had been kept.Hence,The beginning of the resurrection ofThe spirits of all man.This being but one aspect ofOur Savior's atonement plan.In conclusion, and as testimony to the eternal life of each of us, the following verse from "The Gifts That Are Ours to Give" tenderly hugs the author's heart:Thanks be to God for all that we areFor all that we are to be.For he is the Father of our soulsThroughout all eternity.

Une prose funambule, un fil tendu dans le silence, entre les vivants et les absents.

Teoría del ave en mano es la hipótesis en verso de Gaddiel Francisco para justificar el cariño yla animalidad como herramientas contra la escasez. La investigación de Ruiz Rivera sedespliega en una serie de tres libros. En "Torres de Ayn" el poeta toma muestras del manantialque arrojan positivo a Ayn como metáfora de la palabra estancada en la garganta, el sonidoperdido del decir. No todos los sujetos de prueba saldrán ilesos de esta experimentación quetoma como guía la pseudociencia del Tarot. "Galata" es el estudio de caso de Métrica, un sujetode prueba de "Torres de Ayn" que regresa a su ¿ambiente natural? Y por último, "Gatós", eltestimonio aparentemente callejero del gato sobre el amor, la ciudad y sus desechos.

La raccolta poetica ripercorre e svela gli stati d'animo quotidiani dell'autrice che nell'arco di un intero anno rielabora i segni e gli strascichi di un dolore personale, dettato dalla scomparsa dell'amato padre, e quelli più ampi e devastanti della pandemia e della guerra, di più guerre, mai finite.Ogni giorno la poesia veste un ruolo diverso per attenuare la solitudine e l'impotenza umana di chi scrive, si fa insieme amica consolatrice ed educatrice pungente, entra ed esce dalla sua anima come una lama per risvegliarla e ricondurla alla gioia del vivere.

So many times, in my life I was silent when I needed to voice my opinion, share my thoughts, and tell it like it really is.My maternal family is quite dysfunctional and plagued with generational curses: addictions (cigarettes, weed, Pepsi sodas, food, gambling, bingo, drugs, sex), mental illnesses (schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, panic attacks), illnesses (heart disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, thyroid disease), and poverty. As a result, I have a lot of material for my poetry books. It is somewhat therapeutic to me to be able to say it, name it, and bury it.Since writing the poems, so many things in my life have changed. I am a saved follower of Jesus Christ who is happily married with a child. I am actually in a happy place in my life, but some of those poems were sensual, flirty, happy, sad, outraged, or even dark, unfiltered, and raw because that was how I felt at those moments of my life.You have been warned about the content, so let's dive in.

why is it impossible to let go of the people who meant the most to you? you came into my life, and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. then you left. now we're nothing but strangers who share the same memories. i know you never meant to break me into pieces, but you're still the reason that i don't know how to get closure.

Vulnerability heals when we open our heart and mind to experience the emotion of moments and the collective journey through growth, revolution, pain, and victory. We all fight for love. Romantic love, love for our children, shared love for community, family, the sorrow of loss and the sting of love lingering there.This collection is a child's wink at the moon, always watching, that has been an ever-present voice throughout. It represents 27 years of wild and glorious evolution of self from wandering soul to shattered pieces to the mosaic of a stained-glass whole. I invite you to embark on this journey with me. Release your inhibitions as we traverse the realms of life's experience, together.

This organ, accompanied by my words create ballads of agony and symphonies of joy. My organ and these words compose melodies that expose the both the darkest and most whimsical parts of my mind. Most High is the Composer of the organ, and it will beat on until He gestures the end. Until then, these are the songs of my bloodiest organ.

Jorge García Prieto es un poeta que ha sabido manejar con eficacia las posibilidades de comunicación ofrecidas por las redes sociales. Sus textos poseen el vigor de la palabra concebida para pronunciarse en voz alta. Su estilo es declamatorio y enfático, en el buen sentido de ambos términos.En tiempos donde el discurso visual predomina sobre lo literario, es de agradecer esta poesía híbrida, que no desdeña los recursos expresivos provenientes de la representación teatral.Poe Cid, como también se hace llamar, cautiva a sus seguidores con intervenciones poéticas donde, en ocasiones, hace un delicioso contrapunto con su madre.La poesía declamada o recitada tiene el inconveniente de que, muchas veces, al enfrentarnos a su transcripción impresa o puesta en pantalla, notamos que las palabras pierden su energía. No ocurre esto con la escritura de García Prieto.Conocedor de la métrica castellana y cultivador de la décimas en sus variantes endecasílaba y octosilábica, despliega un amplio arsenal de dispositivos retóricos que le permiten construir estructuras que, además de poseer una alta funcionalidad acústica, también soportan una lectura silenciosa. Otro tanto pudiéramos decir del sentido del ritmo observable en sus versos libérrimos.Y como sustrato principal de sus poemas hay una profundidad de vida, un coraje para llamar las cosas por su nombre, sin coquetear con el fantasma de lo políticamente correcto.La editorial Médanos se siente muy afortunada por incorporar a su catálogo este volumen recopilatorio con lo mejor de la poesía publicada por Jorge García Prieto, una de las voces fundamentales de la poesía cubana de estos tiempos.

Romanos porque así ha llamado los poemas con números romanos; romanos siguiendo la epístola del Apóstol San Pablo a los susodichos interpelados. Poemas enredados en los recuerdos de su César, el Julio César, Marco Aurelio, Augusto, Constantino, romanos ilustres, los poetas de las eras pasadas encabezados por Safo y Virgilio. Centrada en su filosofía y las pinturas de su Juan F. Benemelis.Este es un simple conjunto de pretendidos poemas que saltan entre sí, con plañideras locuciones donde se expresa directamente, sin rima o con ella, la verdad del corazón, es la música de lo que decimos, la cadencia del verso o del verbo que sin adornos marca la diferencia. Todos los días de Dios hay que alimentarse de poesía... y de pintura.Irma Sanchez es una escritora y fundadora de la Editorial ARTahouse; dirigida a la publicación de libros de cubanos en el exilio, creada en el 2015. Nació en La Habana, Cuba y vive en los Estados Unidos. En su tiempo, fue ingeniera electrónica, profesora universitaria, y más adelante técnica biomédica. Es aficionada al arte, curadora de exposiciones, y tiene como pasión principal: La Poesía.Publicaciones: "Éxtasis", "Bentesicime", "El Efecto de Engranar", "Raíces", "BAMAE", "BAMAH", "Hermes Trimegistus y su filosofía" y "Ángel al Límite del Amor".

Puntitos de mariposa es un recordatorio. Un recordatorio de que siempre podemos sanar y seguir adelante en la vida, incluso cuando lleguemos a sentirnos muy solos y tengamos el corazón hecho pedazos. Es un recordatorio de que los sueños son parte de nosotros y definen en gran manera quiénes queremos ser en el mañana. De que fallar es muchas veces inevitable y no nos vuelve fracasados, sino resilientes. Un recordatorio de que está bien expresar lo que sentimos, de que está bien sentir; y de que no estamos solos... ¡Dios siempre está!
