Love As Life - A Poetry Book A collection of ethereal and spiritual poems to touch the soul and mind, focusing on love, and the wonder of life.
80-something Dan Yamada has been rendered speechless after a stroke, and as he lies in bed, he vividly recalls his life, from his days in the World War 2-era internment camps, to serving in the US Army, to his one true love. At his bedside in the present, his adult children fight over his care and legacy, all while Dan tries to communicate his poignant final wish. Includes an interview with playwright Ken Narasaki.

The first of five planned volumes of poetry, The Chapbook 1 speaks of suicide, love, breakups, the loss of a child, and the loss of a parent. However, Courtlin found a way to turn these darkest memories and feelings into something positive. As a man, it is hard to express your feelings. Then, to be a Black man adds another layer. To be a light-skinned Black man, there is trouble in those waters too. This is not a book to tell you how to live your life. This is not a book to tell you how to make millions. This is a book of poetry to let you know that you are not alone. Every expressed emotion is real. Every poem means something personal. Hopefully, sharing my poems with you will inspire some degree in knowing no matter your skin color.Show book

In England the Victorian Age was about to become the past and a new age of worldwide wars of horror and slaughter would envelop and decimate generations, forever staining mankind. The Century would see the World discover strengths. The Democracies would stand firm against Fascism and later Communism yet still keep its own elite and privileged in power and the rest of us underfoot. The World was more connected than ever before. Culture accelerated its kaleidoscopic and interwoven journey. Transport delivered people by car and train and then aeroplane to far flung corners of the globe. Empires were at their zenith and ready to fragment with new nations, many troubled, rising from their decay. The natural world continued to be plundered and pillaged for its resources by industries who pledged ‘more’ and ‘better’ and would clothe and feed a growing world yet sow the seeds now ready to devastate us in our current times. The globe was as vibrant and violent as troubled and tarnished as it ever was. But new ideas, new political systems, new times changed everything once again. 1 - The Poets of the Early Twentieth Century - Volume 2 - An Introduction 2 - The Lions by Joseph Mary Plunkett 3 - 1841-1891 by Joseph Mary Plunkett 4 - If We Return by F W Harvey 5 - The Soldier Speaks by F W Harvey 6 - The Negro Soldiers by Roscoe C Jamison 7 - Into Battle by Julian Grenfell 8 - Prayer For Those on the Staff by Julian Grenfell 9 - Hymn by Fenton Johnson 10 - Tired by Fenton Johnson 11 - Sonnet I by Fernando Pessoa 12 - If, After I Die by Fernando Pessoa 13 - I Have A Rendezvous with Death by Alan Seeger 14 - All Thats Not Love by Alan Seeger 15 - Maktoob by Alan Seeger 16 - The Unseen Planets by Raymond Chandler 17 - The Poet's Knowledge by Raymond Chandler 18 - I Saw A Man This Morning by Patrick Shaw Stewart 19 - Whispers of Immortality by T S Eliot 20 - The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock by T S Eliot 21 - Preludes by T S Eliot 22 - The Wounded Bird by Katherine Mansfield 23 - Stars by Katharine Mansfield 24 - A Fine Day by Katherine Mansfield 25 - I Taught Myself To Live Simply by Anna Akhmatova 26 - When I Write Poems by Anna Akhmatova 27 - Poetry by Claude McKay 28 - The White House by Claude McKay 29 - The Lynching by Claude McKay 30 - Strange Hells by Ivor Gurney 31 - Crucifix Corner by Ivor Gurney 32 - Serenade by Ivor Gurney 33 - Break of Day in the Trenches by Isaac Rosenberg 34 - Dead Man's Dump by Isaac Rosenberg 35 - August 1914 by Isaac Rosenberg 36 - Journey's End by Zora Neale Hurston 37 - The Dog Tupman by Stella Benson 38 - The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St Vincent Millay 39 - My Heart Being Hungry by Edna St Vincent Millay 40 - What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, And Where, And Why by Edna St Vincent Millay 41 - Sonnet XVIII - I, Being Born a Woman by Edna St Vincent Millay 42 - Unity by Cesar Vallejo 43 - Love by Edith Sodergran 44 - On Foot I Had to Cross the Solar System by Edith Sodergran 45 - Insouciance by Richard Aldington 46 - Goodbye by Richard Aldington 47 - Grey Hairs by Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva 48 - Lady with Camelias by Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva 49 - To Mother by Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva 50 - Back To Rest by Lietenant William Noel Hodgson MC 51 - Before Action by Lieutenant William Noel Hodgson MC 52 - Past One O'Clock by Vladimir Mayakovsky 53 - So This Is How I Turned into a Dog by Vladamir Mayakovsky 54 - Verse for a Certain Dog by Dorothy Parker 55 - A Dream Lies Dead by Dorothy Parker<pShow book
