  Babble is to speak rapidly and randomly as did the people at the tower of Babel when they lost their ability to speak to one another. Here in my babbling book of poetry I unite together foreign languages of different worlds scattered far and wide 
  To well describe and depict another realm far better than best-“Good, Gooder and Goodest….” A ‘Maguk Kingdom’ of babbling towers, brooks, spires and domes, one of my marvellous stories ‘Maguk World of Princess Cardinal Fairy Alice with her Lil’ cat Papillon pet Fairy Dinah’, falling through an endless Maguk Well, who travel in an ethereal adventure to the bottomless pits of the world in an unparalleled universe beyond countless Giga bytes and Decimbleters (my own made up words of poetic art) including so many funny poems inside short poetry story. One will thoroughly enjoy reading with great gusto and cherishing Alice through another spiritual perspective. 
  Therefore concluding one last example the Hebrew word ‘ayin’ which is not only the name of a Hebrew letter but also the Hebrew term for eye. My audience be like the “Hebrew Eye”- “Eyes that are windows to the soul. Looking at these poetically charged organs one may proceed to read into ‘Magic world!’- ‘THE MAGUK WELL’

  How to be a Tarot Card (or a...

  The tarot has been used to play games since the 15th century. Since that time each card has also accumulated meanings. By the 18th century the tarot was used for divination or for oracular purposes, much like the Delphic oracles of old. Nowadays the trumps, or major arcana, are believed to chronicle, symbolically, the journey of the Fool through life.
  How to be a Tarot Card (or a Teenager) explores, exploits, and sometimes downright twists the major arcana and the meanings they have accumulated, in the order in which the many hundreds of tarot decks now travelling the world present them. The Star, connoting hope, exists simultaneously as metaphor and feral dog; the rebirth nestled inside the Death card becomes female friendship and escape from patriarchal binds.

  Ten Bridges I've Burnt - A...

  Brontez Purnell

  In Ten Bridges I've Burnt, Brontez Purnell—the bard of the underloved and overlooked—turns his gaze inward. A storyteller with a musical eye for the absurdity of his own existence, he is peerless in his ability to find the levity within the stormiest of crises. Here, in his first collection of genre-defying verse, Purnell reflects on his peripatetic life, whose ups and downs have nothing on the turmoil within. "The most high-risk homosexual behavior I engage in," Purnell writes, "is simply existing." 
   
   
   
  The thirty-eight autobiographical pieces pulsing in Ten Bridges I've Burnt find Purnell at his no-holds-barred best. He remembers a vicious brawl he participated in at a poetry conference and reckons with packaging his trauma for TV writers' rooms; wrestles with the curses, and gifts, passed down from generations of family members; and chronicles, with breathless verve, a list of hell-raising misadventures and sexcapades. Through it all, he muses on everything from love and loneliness to capitalism and Blackness to jogging and the ethics of art, always with unpredictable clarity and movement. 
   
   
   
  With the same balance of wit and wisdom that made 100 Boyfriends a sensation, Purnell unleashes another collection of boundary-pushing writing with Ten Bridges I've Burnt, a book as original and thrilling as the author himself.

  In 2022, James McDermott lost his sixty-year-old father to COVID after three weeks in intensive care. In* Father Myself*, his second collection from Nine Arches Press, McDermott explores his father's complex illness and death; grief; growth and how as a queer boy then a bereaved son, he had to learn to father himself.
  In clear-sighted and often hard-hitting poems, McDermott takes the reader onto the frontline of the pandemic – documenting the experience and trauma of a COVID-bereaved family with an unflinching eye. Both powerful and compassionate, these extraordinary poems have the capacity to go beyond simply a record of events, reaching sensitively for the human details that matter – the beat of a heart and movement of breath, the touch of a hand, the words we use for goodbye.

  Pyth in love - A poem in form of...

  In the poems, Pythagoras is always searching for meaning in patterns—in the caws of crows, the flight of geese—but he is also visited by the random.  “But then, without a sign, the crow departs; this randomness of fate gives him a chill./He sees the beauty of wings merged with night …”  Was it a random coincidence that I was at the same time writing a book set on an estate with Italianate gardens?  Inspired by Lee, I created a poet named Zalman Bronsky who wandered through the Italian gardens composing sonnets, which Lee graciously agreed to write.  Immersed in researching the Italian gardens, we traveled to Rome and Sorrento in the summer of 2004.  While walking in the Roman Forum Lee discovered a bust of Pythagoras and was inspired to write “Counting Toward the End,” in which “Pythagoras divides the summer dawn/into the cosmos, multiplies by breeze/and quality of drifting yellow light/to calculate how many roses  thrive/within the boundary of circling sight.”  His calculation conflicts with what he sees and yet his “faith in truth of math endures despite/this failure.”
