Life Poetry

This book consists of poems that signify the events of life. No matter what life brings for us to experience on our own - dark or bright, high or low, joy or sorrow - it all enriches us with great lessons. Life is our master indeed. Life, You Are the Master! contains select thought-provoking, original poems written over the period of 2007-2015, in different countries such as England, Germany, Poland, and Bangladesh. It also includes 10 beautiful haikus.

When Louis Pasteur discovered the process of fermentation in the 1870s, he noted that, while most organisms perished from lack of oxygen, some were able to adapt and even thrive as 'life without air'. In this capricious, dreamlike collection, characters and scenes traverse states of airlessness, from suffocating relationships, religions and institutions to toxic environments and ecstatic asphyxiations. Both compassionate and ecologically nuanced, this innovative collection bridges poetry and prose to interrogate the conditions necessary for survival.

My poetry is at times raw, sensuous, and evocative, and guarantees a stirring of all senses. Some poems will melt your heart or arouse you; others will leave you with a myriad of acute emotions. Others will make you smile, even bring tears to your eyes. Some, I hope, will provide comfort in knowing you are not alone, even when life is not always kind. I see us all as clay on a potter's wheel. Life’s trials represent the reshaping of who we are, and that reshaping is never ending. My poetry reflects that truth as an expression of my experiences.

"He aquí a la Mistral comadre y recadera, mujer vieja y criolla, juguetona: ese es su mal y su bien". Así mismísimo se define muy impersonal pero personalmente la propia Gabriela Mistral, revelando en recreadora frase epistolar ese "ser yo" sin miramiento alguno, a no ser su siempre ver, sentir y pensar libertariamente el mundo. Frase reveladora en su temperamento y pasión humana y que bien viene a dar testimonio de escritura en estas dispersas páginas de varia lección, perdidas u olvidadas en su tiempo tan ayer como tan hoy.

"How can I teach a prayer / I only know how to recite?" "America, whose death / didn't you come from?" These are some of the questions that poet Joshua Gottlieb-Miller wrestles with in his beautiful, gripping new collection. By turns experimental and documentary, Dybbuk Americana draws out the questions around Jewish identity in the United States, and what it means to pass on Jewish identity to one's child. This hybrid text draws on art, mysticism, and history, taking the dybbuk, a figure from Jewish folklore, as its central metaphor.

Let these poems remind you of the strength and power of prayer. You will find verses reflecting on the bond that prayer gives us with God. Prayer can be defined as talking with God. Therefore, these poems remind us to ensure we talk with God not just in the bad times of our life but in the good times as well, and He will listen. Please be inspired by these poems about God, the verses that consider God and His authority. Please share these poems with your friends, family, and colleagues, plus anyone who may have misgivings or is questioning the truth that there is a God.

Poetry readers often interpret the works of poets such as Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Tupac Shakur. But in the absence of commentary from the authors, interpreters must guess at the meaning. The ones best suited to explain have always been the authors. And the author’s commentary is what makes A Not So Ordinary Book of Poetry: Your Life Has Purpose! unique. It includes encouraging and inspirational backstories of the authors’ poems.

The foundation is spiritual in connection to the belief that the creator of the universe is all-divine god, Yahweh, and wrapped in every conceived creation—humans, animals, nature, etc. The purpose is to advocate for truth, liberty, and justice for all. To raise a voice for the unheard or untold story while gaining unification to enhance the emancipation of the injustice history has displayed and cause us justice-informed persons to gather stronger in hope, action, and trust in something ultimately desired for—justice for all.

A New Life is written as a fantasy with heart. It portrays the author's love of God, nature, and family. It is my hope that you, the listener, will be transported to a simpler time and place.
