  The Bell Tower - Poems

  Pamela Crowe

  • 0

  • 0

  Acerbic, precise and very funny, Pamela Crowe's poems explore home life and relationships in a delightfully forthright voice. Secret frustrations and anxieties are aired and private fantasies brought into the light, as odes blur into diatribes and psychodramas become love poems.
  
  Woven throughout The Bell Tower is a love of Jane Austen, Sylvia Plath, Wendy Cope and – above all – Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones. These are fierce, acutely observed poems that give weight to domestic minutiae and put words to helpless howls into the abyss.
  You, the cloud.
  
  Oh look! there you are,
  
  blobbing along as if you're best friends with rain
  
  and thunder is your dad. Fuck off.
  
  - excerpt from 'Cloudcunt'

  Einstein's Bicycle - A cycle...

  Terry Dammery

  This remarkable, original and imaginative poem, ‘Einstein’s Bicycle’, is the outcome of the poet’s childhood experiences in London orphanages during and after WW2.
  Terry says of the poem, ‘Einstein’s Bicycle’, is a slow-burn rant about life’s drama as seen by those who fill the paupers’ pit. Its heroes are the descendants of the bowmen and those who manned the gun-decks. They are the children of the levellers, those who worked the looms and spun the thread – clichés of their class, yet resilient and spirited, always conscious of their inheritance.’
  He adds, ‘What begins as the sad tale of a maid in the shadow of the Cenotaph, unfolds as the celebration of a culture old as Chaucer, proud of its pedigree and its vitality to tilt at pomposity and privilege, sustained by the principle of Einstein’s bicycle - if you don’t keep pedalling you’ll simply fall off.’

  Comic Book Artist and Pop Culture Geek, Dean Rankine doesn't know anything about writing poetry. But a little thing like that isn't going to stop him from writing a poem once a week for a year, putting those poems into a book and sending them out into the universe. 
  "Dean's poetry is like watching someone dragged upside down by a bolting robot horse through a cacti patch. It's exhilarating, you chortle, but then you're flooded with existential dread that we're all gonna die in stupid ways." - Ryan K. Lindsay (Beautiful Canvas, Deer Editor) 
  Narrated by Ben Sorensen 
  Recorded at the studios of BSE Australia for Shooting Star Press.

  Psalms and Odes of Solomon

  One of the Pseudepigrapha, the Psalms of Solomon is a group of eighteen psalms (religious songs or poems) that are not part of any scriptural canon (they are, however, found in copies of the Peshitta). The Psalms of Solomon were referenced in Early Christian writings, but lost to modern scholars until a Greek manuscript was rediscovered in the 17th century. Politically, the Psalms of Solomon are anti-Maccabee, and some psalms in the collection show a clear awareness of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem under Pompey in 63 BCE, metaphorically treating him as a dragon who had been sent by God to punish the Maccabees.The Odes of Solomon is a collection of 42 odes attributed to Solomon. Various scholars have dated the composition of these religious poems to anywhere in the range of the first three centuries AD. The original language of the Odes is thought to have been either Greek or Syriac, and to be generally Christian in background. (Summary by Wikipedia)
