SUBTERFUGE SOBRIETY is a collection of obscene poems, songs, and pieces of prose that reflect on the abstruseness of modern literature, the chaotic political climate of new millennium, and the absurdist nature of life. Some may call it charming and deep. Others may call it pervasive and degenerate. It’s all of the above - and more! So, if you are in the mood for disturbing nonsense, this book might be your cup of tea or coffee or whatever floats your boat.

A beautiful and inspiring collection of poetry by Maya Angelou, author of I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS and 'a brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman' (BARACK OBAMA).'I write about being a Black American woman, however, I am always talking about what it's like to be a human being.

Only a life lived for others is a life worth while. -Albert EinsteinAll proceeds are donated directly to the Creative Writing Foundation in Philadelphia, PA.

A poetry collection roughly grouped around the motif of lines, much of this collection was written in 2006 and some was performed live as a part of the Creative Quill Bangkok Tour in 2006-7.Poems range from the opening long piece, that takes an in-depth look at "lines" throughout time, to poems drenched in love, both good love and bad. Existentialist themes are featured in some works, and some poems reveal aspects of the natural world.

This is a collection of poems that are usually dark and sexual in nature. Symbols from literature and mythology inform the author's thoughts on his life and the world in which he lives. Sometimes shocking, sometimes funny, always engaging.

Lyrical and cadent, dramatic and sometimes playful, these poems speak of love, longing, parting; of freedom and shattered dreams; of Saturday-night partying and the smells and sounds of Southern cities.

As a synonym for diamond, "blue rock," promises marriage and an engagement ring. The phrase also evokes music, spanning both the blues and hard-driving rock. "Blue rock" also holds an element of fire, as in anthracite, or "hard coal," as well as a fiery pounding, as happens with a ritual hammer-stone. Like the process of forming diamonds itself, these 80 love poems compress passion and betrayal, with results resembling fossilized ferns in bedrock as well as the protracted metamorphosis int...
