Sinopsis

In Track's End, Hayden Carruth explores the complex interplay between nature and human experience through a collection of poignant poems that resonate with emotional depth and vivid imagery. Carruth's literary style is marked by an eloquent simplicity, yet each verse captures the rugged beauty and harsh realities of rural life, reflecting a profound connection to the American landscape. Set against the backdrop of the late 20th century, his work resonates with themes of solitude, mortality, and the passage of time, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives within the vastness of nature and existence. Hayden Carruth, an influential figure in contemporary American poetry, was deeply shaped by his experiences in the rural Northeast, where he lived much of his life. His unique background includes a blend of academic pursuit, music, and existential contemplation, evident in the passionate authenticity of his voice. Carruth's personal struggles, including mental health challenges, inform his poignant explorations of human vulnerability, offering readers a glimpse into the resilience of the human spirit amidst life's adversities. I highly recommend Track's End to readers seeking a profound lyrical journey that marries the beauty of the natural world with the intricacies of the human condition. Carruth's adept craftsmanship will engage those who appreciate rich, reflective poetry, making this collection a valuable addition to any literary enthusiast's library.

I Remember - I Am Eternally Divine

Travis Huntley

I Remember is a book of poetry inspired while traveling, spending time in nature and from my life's experiences. As a multiracial man in America, I feel I was given the opportunity to experience discrimination and prejudice from people of all walks of life. To learn I needed to love to accept myself first so I can witness firsthand society's most crucial issues of division and polarity. From the systemic illusion of separation from nature and humankind as a whole, due to the fact that most of us have yet to remember who we really are. Although the media is persistently promoting fear and division. The intention of this book is to share a sense of awareness of who we are beyond the body while inspiring the reader to love and have compassion for themselves and others at a greater capacity. Regardless of what one may have learned from their parents, culture, media, movies etc. I Remember is resurfacing to remind the masses we are all equal expressions of the Divine and now have a role to play in co-creating “The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.”

Poets on Poetry - The most...

Matthew Arnold, Sarojini Naidu,...

Who has not tried to write a poem?  The poetic form of words seems to be rather easy.  In its basic form, which we learn as children, the rhyming couplet is, in a child’s written and spoken words, pure joy - success!  In the hands of a Shakespeare it is magnificent with a reach and understanding that the rest of us enjoy but are far from even attempting.    
 
As we listen to various poetic forms, schools and movements we can only react with wonder at how these innocent words are assembled to create symphonies of ideas, wonder and revelation.  The emotions they seek to invoke can be anything from happiness to sadness, from love to revulsion. 
 
Arnold, Stevens, Keats, Akhmatova, Browning, Herrick, Hood, Killigrew are but a few of the roll-call of wordsmiths who with mere words create ravenous beauty that reveals tender lines and sensitive verse on how and why they are who they are.

Northern Verses - Poems of...

Dennis Lattery

The idea for this book evolved out of what he saw as a need for a new Christmas poem for children. His poem was titled The Christmas Girl. Nothing of much significance in that genre has been produced since How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Efforts to sell the poems idea for a children's book fell on deaf ears in the publishing world but other work gradually spun off its writing. He found he liked writing rhyming prose, especially in poems about the North country where he lives. So here is Northern Verses, including The Christmas Girl.
