  Mist to Shadow To Light - Three...

  This book is a heartfelt mixture of spiritual and encouraging poetry. Some of the poems draw from my own life experiences, spanning from childhood to adulthood. I have poured warmth, love, and care into these words, with the intention of reaching people who may be struggling with depression or hardship. My hope is to point them toward their Creator, offering comfort and understanding. I want to remind readers that everyday disappointments are a natural part of life, but we will get through them and be just fine. 
  One of the poems, “What Is The Fabric of Your Love,” explores the love between a man and a woman, highlighting the deep emotional connections we as humans need in order to feel whole. Throughout the collection, I offer analogies and perspectives that encourage us to think about the world around us and our shared humanity. It is a call to show compassion and belief in humanity—something we often forget in the busyness of our lives. My poems aim to touch the psyche, shedding light on the things we are too busy to think about, but that we all experience in one way or another. I strive to keep the work relatable and touching, offering a message that can bring a smile to your face or inspire you to bless someone else with kindness. 
  One poem that is very dear to me is a tribute to Mr. Tyre Nichols, who tragically lost his life at the hands of police. The poem, titled “My Skateboard and Me,” is a heartfelt expression of grief and reflection. Another poem, “We All Begin and End with Each Other,” calls for greater unity and connection across ethnic lines, encouraging us to reach out to our neighbors, no matter their background. In “Who’s on Third,” I reflect on the time when we all must leave this earth, while “Banana Fritters Makes Me Smile” takes the reader on a nostalgic journey back to childhood memories.

  Poems Of Peace

  Wordsworth held that every true poet was a teacher; and he said, “I wish either to be considered as a teacher, or as nothing.” The poems in this volume are designed to teach; and as instruction is best administered by methods which please while they elevate, the immediate object of these poems is to comfort, to bless, and to make happy; and, being framed on the principles of Truth, I doubt not that they will inspire men to embrace loftier ideals of life, draw them to a closer acquaintance with virtue, and lead them to a more intimate union with that perfect Wisdom whose ways are “ways of pleasantness,” and whose paths are “paths of peace.” 
  - James Allen 
  In this unusual departure from his usual practical and direct style, Allen here writes a series of thoughtful, reflective and inspirational poems laying out his unique thoughts in a new style.  
  Spiritual, secular, and deeply embedded in the genuine practice of faith, the book begins with Eolaus, an extended work following a man struggling through the depths of his spiritual sorrow, comforted and assailed by the vocies of earth and nature.  
  ------------------------------------- 
  James Allen wrote nineteen self-help books combining Buddhism, Confucianism, and classical Christianity between 1903 and 1912. Born to improvrished parents, one of whom was murdered when searching for work in America when Allen was fifteen, he went on to combine the esoteric and philosophical slant of eastern religions with the solid practicality and common-sense approach of a Victorian Englishman from Leicester.

  Your Emergency Contact Has...

  What happens when everything falls away, when those you call on in times of need are themselves calling out for rescue? In his highly anticipated second collection, Chen Chen continues his investigation of family, both blood and chosen, examining what one inherits and what one invents, as a queer Asian American living through an era of Trump, mass shootings, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Always at work in the wrecked heart of this new collection is a switchboard operator, picking up and connecting calls. Raucous 2 a.m. prank calls. Whispered-in-a-classroom emergency calls. And sometimes, its pages record the dropping of a call, a failure or refusal to pick up. With irrepressible humor and play, these anarchic poems celebrate life, despite all that would crush aliveness. Hybrid in form and set in New England, West Texas, and a landlocked province of China, among other places, Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency refuses neat categorizations and pat answers. Instead, the book offers an insatiable curiosity about how it is we keep finding ways to hold onto one another.

  Hope within syllables was and always will be my "soul child". 
  When I wrote my 1st ever Haiku, I knew that I would be counting syllables until my last breath. 
  This book is a little sad but incredibly hopeful.
