  Zen Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Out of Body Experience is an archetypal journey of a man who was discriminated against all his life and framed for a murder he did not commit. He has the power inside to harness outer body experiences, a shadow walker through time made up of worm holes into the past and future. A remarkable short story with a collection of poems.

  The Soul´s Journey Home is a collection of poems borne out of a spiritual journey brought about due to the pandemic a few years ago. The resulting awakening provided me with the answers to many questions I was unsure about with regards to faith and spirituality and the discovery can have widespread benefits within every aspect of a persons life. The purpose of my poetry is to encourage curiosity within the reader and convey how our answers are well within our reach and closer than we might have imagined.

  Nothing and Everything

  In Nothing and Everything, Dr. Engin Ozertugrul offers a deeply personal exploration of human existence where paradox and transcendence coexist. Known for Interview with OCD, Ozertugrul uses poetry to unpack the intricate relationship between consciousness, emotion, and divinity. Eschewing structured rhyme, he employs repetition, simplicity, and second-person narration to reveal a universal truth: we are all connected and uncertain, and that is where beauty lies.This collection avoids common poetic tropes like romance or singular religious views, focusing instead on raw human experiences—fear, sadness, anger, and hope. Each poem wrestles with the limits of understanding without succumbing to nihilism, guiding readers toward meditative peace born of acceptance and awareness.Inspired by Transcendental Meditation (TM) and thinkers such as Rumi, Spinoza, Jung, Kant, Emerson, and Blake, the poems reflect spiritual insights reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Ozertugrul credits TM for shaping his understanding of consciousness and personal transformation.“This book is about being human,” he says—embracing challenges, disappointments, fears, anger, and joy. Written with what he calls “a better use of his OCD mind,” the poems use layered repetition to create a spiritual hypnosis.Nothing and Everything will resonate with readers interested in meditation, mindfulness, and nontraditional spirituality, especially those connected to TM and the David Lynch Foundation. Though not self-help, it offers comfort not by providing answers but by giving space to sit with questions.

  For she knows that she is his creation, a monster herself.
  
  So she tries to fit in and become somebody else.
  
  The forced noise of happiness births from her stapled lips.
  
  She ravages and mauls at her skin, not a sound of pain as she begins to rip.
  
  Even with her mask in place, she does not belong here, even when in disguise.
  
  They can see straight through to her soul through her transparent eyes.
  
  There they source innocence and naivety, hope, and ignorance.
  
  And so, the man they call Narcissus, asks her to dance.
  
  And so, begins the story all over again.
  
  Into his arms she was beckoned in.
  
  Hope raped by Narcissus birthed a gorgon conception.
  
  Birthed a child who shook her head at love and any form of affection.

  Ash and Anya were happy, just the two of them. Then the baby came.
  Ash has spent the first two weeks of his son's life trying to work out where he fits. He watches his mother holding her grandchild for the first time, mesmerised by the mystery and delight of a new life. After she leaves, Ash watches Anya feeding their son – so close, almost intertwined.
  As sleepless nights, relentless crying and hushed arguments take their toll, a storm starts to grow as a chasm widens between Ash and his son, his wife and even his own mother.
  Lifting the roof off one family's home, The Cord is a brutally honest and moving insight into the challenging truths of family dynamics. It premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, written and directed by Bijan Sheibani.

  The Acrobat - Essential Poems

  Wislawa Szymborska

  A paperback original 
  A vibrant collection of the lasting, essential work of the Nobel Prize–winning poet Wislawa Szymborska 
  Wislawa Szymborska’s work is known for its precision, cleverness, deceptive simplicity, and the way the poet plays out domestic and human concerns against the tapestry of history. With a probing, skeptical, and witty eye, Szymborska presents readers with intellectual challenges and philosophical quandaries while remaining accessible and, sometimes, deceptively simple. 
  “A major poet whose dark, complex, and profoundly intelligent work might otherwise have remained lost to us” (Washington Post), Szymborska has benefitted from being sensitively translated and, in this slim essential collection, the best of her work is preserved for her existing audience while providing entry points for new readers. 
  Pithy, playful, ironic, and filled with profound observations, The Acrobat is the must-have collection of Szymborska’s most important poetry, also featuring “The Poet and the World,” her Nobel lecture.
