Thoughts of an Interracial...

Lisa Renee Hutchins, Summer...

Interracial families are more common than ever, yet their unique stories often remain untold. This transparent poetry collection offers a deeply personal glimpse into my journey—growing up in a predominantly single-race family, navigating the intricacies of interracial relationships, and raising biracial children. Through honest and unfiltered reflections, I delve into the joys, challenges, and struggles in building an interracial family, while also celebrating the love, cultural connection and sense of belonging that makes this journey meaningful. 
What makes this audiobook truly special is the contribution of my daughter, Summer Renee Crowell, who courageously shares her perspective being a biracial child in a beautifully written chapter. There are a few collaborative poems woven throughout the collection adding even more depth and richness to this exploration of love and realities we experienced together. 
Take a moment to step into our world. Listen, and discover our journey through diversity, resilience, and the beauty of growing together as one.

The Waste Land

T. S. Eliot

In The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot presents a haunting and fragmented vision of a world in decline—a world ravaged by war, disillusionment, and spiritual desolation. Considered one of the most influential poems of the 20th century, The Waste Land is a complex mosaic of voices, mythic references, and shifting landscapes, capturing the fractured psyche of modern life.

Through its five sections, Eliot explores the themes of fragmentation, despair, and the search for meaning in a society torn apart by cultural and spiritual crisis. From the bleak and desolate opening lines, the poem journeys through images of decay, lost hope, and barren landscapes, interspersed with moments of revelation and the possibility of redemption. With references to works ranging from the Bible to Dante, the Upanishads to the Grail myth, The Waste Land weaves a dense web of cultural and literary allusions, challenging readers to confront the disintegration of modern civilization.

A bold exploration of the fractured nature of contemporary existence, The Waste Land is both a lament and a call to find hope amidst the ruins—an extraordinary work of literary art that continues to resonate with readers in the modern age.

Museum of My Soul: Redux - The...

Dornel Phillips AKA D-Nice Keoma

Redux has 30 more poems, reshaping the narrative created in the first book. This version tells a longer and more heartfelt story. Museum of The Soul is a collection of poems that tell a love story. These poems cover the real dynamics of romantic relationships, seen through my eyes. The title The Time IT Took originates from the time it took to put together a body such as this. The title also loosely represents my romantic relationship history. Museum of My Soul in that sense is a collection of artifacts (poems) from different periods of my life and relationships. The book still obliges to three exhibits set forth in the first book: Exhibit A: Falling, Exhibit B: Being broken, and Exhibit C: Ending
