Synopsis

In "Poems in Prose," Charles Baudelaire innovatively blends poetry and prose, creating a unique literary form that transcends traditional boundaries. This collection embodies the aestheticism of the mid-19th century, reflecting Baudelaire's urban experience and profound engagement with themes of beauty, decay, and existential yearning. Each prose poem offers a vivid snapshot of emotions and sensations, crafted with rich imagery and lyrical precision, inviting readers into the poet's restless psyche. The work is a quintessential representation of the Symbolist movement, emphasizing the power of suggestion and symbolism over straightforward narrative, thus allowing the reader to explore deeper philosophical and emotional currents. Charles Baudelaire, a pivotal figure in French literature, lived during a period marked by rapid urbanization and societal change. His tumultuous life—marked by personal loss, artistic struggle, and a fervent quest for beauty—shaped his literary output. "Poems in Prose" reflects his desire to capture the fleeting nature of modern life while engaging with the philosophical implications of art and existence. Baudelaire's complex relationship with his contemporaries and his rejection of conventional forms serve as a backdrop for this masterwork. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern poetry and the exploration of human experience through art. Baudelaire's incisive observations and innovative style provide profound insights into the nature of beauty and the challenges of modernity. "Poems in Prose" not only serves as an essential component of Baudelaire's oeuvre but also as a fundamental text for understanding the transition between romanticism and modernism.

    " Silently / pulling for itself, / the will wants the body to // give it what it wants," Sexton writes in " Between the Car and the Sea," at once a description of a car' s body propelling her onward, and of the poet herself, the one behind the wheel of this masterful fourth collection. In an extraordinary act of volition, the author does not stop at the trope of ambition, but powers instead toward the urgent concerns of the will, and intention.
    
    
    In Drive, Sexton explores our most fragile points of connection— to lovers and family, to the living and the dead, and to oneself, one' s own life' s work— with the care and wisdom of one who knows these roads. In her hands, these delicate boundaries become navigable. They are both her route and her destination.

    In Nothing and Everything, Dr. Engin Ozertugrul offers a deeply personal exploration of human existence where paradox and transcendence coexist. Known for Interview with OCD, Ozertugrul uses poetry to unpack the intricate relationship between consciousness, emotion, and divinity. Eschewing structured rhyme, he employs repetition, simplicity, and second-person narration to reveal a universal truth: we are all connected and uncertain, and that is where beauty lies.This collection avoids common poetic tropes like romance or singular religious views, focusing instead on raw human experiences—fear, sadness, anger, and hope. Each poem wrestles with the limits of understanding without succumbing to nihilism, guiding readers toward meditative peace born of acceptance and awareness.Inspired by Transcendental Meditation (TM) and thinkers such as Rumi, Spinoza, Jung, Kant, Emerson, and Blake, the poems reflect spiritual insights reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Ozertugrul credits TM for shaping his understanding of consciousness and personal transformation.“This book is about being human,” he says—embracing challenges, disappointments, fears, anger, and joy. Written with what he calls “a better use of his OCD mind,” the poems use layered repetition to create a spiritual hypnosis.Nothing and Everything will resonate with readers interested in meditation, mindfulness, and nontraditional spirituality, especially those connected to TM and the David Lynch Foundation. Though not self-help, it offers comfort not by providing answers but by giving space to sit with questions.

    Written for boys who like to eat other people's sorrows, or not eat at all, and for girls who love them regardless. 
    Nick and Mark are 20-something nihilists with nothing but Thursday evenings, a mattress, and the weight of their own thoughts. In one final attempt to find meaning, they give themselves a week to search. If they fail, they jump. 
    We’re Jumping Tomorrow is an intimate, hauntingly poetic novella designed to be read in one sitting, like stumbling upon a stranger’s tragic story online, finding empathy for them, and then scrolling away. Combining sharp cynicism with raw, visual prose, it captures the fleeting yet profound nature of human connection, mental illness, and the quiet desperation of young adulthood. 
    Never quite meant for the public eye, We’re Jumping Tomorrow holds enough importance to be released anyway. Though darkness and pessimism spread throughout its pages, an unshakable sense of humor and self-deprecation stand firm, reflecting this generation’s ability to face even the most gruesome thoughts with a grin.
