Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Sweet Butter Tea is a collection of poems that spontaneously sprang from the most personal memories and childhood recollections of exiled Tibetan Ten Phun. Since his escape into India, Ten Phun has experienced a bewildering sense of loss, harrowing loneliness, as well as lively times in a borrowed space. This volume is peppered with eclectic images of confusion, nostalgia, and the poet's deep longing to be back in his home of Tibet. "I don't know how old my heart is, I only know my five-o'clock shadow tells it all," Ten Phun writes. This book of poetry promises a dizzying journey into a young adult refugee's struggles, dreams, and musings, all packed into bite-sized verses that grasp at truth and attempt to put into words the anguish of physical, emotional, and psychological dislocation.

Book Description
Steep Tea is Singapore-born Jee Leong Koh's fifth collection and the first to be published in the UK. Koh's poems share many of the harsh and enriching circumstances that shape the imagination of a postcolonial queer writer. They speak in a voice both colloquial and musical, aware of the infusion of various traditions and histories. Taking leaves from other poets - Elizabeth Bishop, Eavan Boland, and Lee Tzu Pheng, amongst others - Koh's writing is forged in the known pleasures of reading, its cultures and communities.

Book Description
An eclectic mix of fine poems. Poems to make you laugh and poems to make you cry. A sad poem about a dog. A funny poem about 'manure' for want of a better word! A witty poem for people who love to show dogs. Poems about love and 'love lost' . Poems to excite you and invite you to want to read more poetry and maybe encourage you to write your own poems. Poems about life and poems about death. Praise for - A Show Dog's Lament - "Very good Barbara. This is a witty portrayal of 'it's a dog's life' but also explores the relationship between humans and animals. Plenty of magazines publish stuff only half as good as this." Praise for - Autumn Leaves - "Simply effective, Barbara. In four stanzas you've captured the essence of reflection and nostalgia and your use of metaphor in the final verse is particularly good."
Ten Poems to Change Your Life Again and Again
Author: Roger HousdenPublisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0307874656

Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Every great poem invites us to step beyond what we know, what we think we can dream or dare. Great poetry is a catalyst for change: a change of mind, a change of heart, a change of life- and yes, over and over, again and again, with each new reading, and each new phase of our journey. That’s why poetry is dangerous. It gives voice to our unspoken dreams; it is a mirror to our own deepest joys, desires, and sorrows. It can tip us over into a new life, into a new way of seeing and being, that a moment ago we might even have had no words for. In this new volume of his Ten Poems series, Roger Housden takes ten great poems and in personal, intimate essays shows how they led him, and can also lead us, into a more deeply lived and examined life. Housden says, “Every one of the poems in this book has struck me a blow, a direct hit, each of them, into the heart of hearts. Every one of them, in its own way, has opened a door for me to go deeper into my own experience, my own longings, my own sorrows and joys, and into the silence that surrounds all of this, all of us, always.”
