Useless Musings

Sinopse

As the hell year of 2020 was drawing to a close, and the collective anxieties of every able-minded person in America were making their threat whispers to never, ever go away no matter how many times you brushed your teeth, Jeffrey Eugene Hoch (the author of this book) had an idea. He would write a poem — or something approximating one — for every calendar day of the upcoming year of 2021. The main reason he wanted to do this was to keep his artistic conscience from atrophying across another potential year of emotional isolation, illness avoidance, and embarrassing cult stupidity.


There was some distant hope that something positive would come out of the process, but that something was unknowable and not even particularly hoped for by the author. A year of video games, whiskey, dates, and deli orders later, Useless Musings was "finished." More accurately, it could just no longer be truthfully worked on because 2021 was over.


Anyway, the results of this year-long whatever-it-was are documented here for you to read and maybe have some sort of emotional reaction to. These "musings" felt pretty "useless" as I was writing them (Hi, it's me, Jeff), but maybe you'll enjoy them. That would be cool.

    This poetry collection, like a cerebral train, travels through the varied landscapes of my thoughts, opinions, and life experiences. Words collide with syllables, erupting into vivid imagery that reaches the far recesses of the imagination. These poems are my literary children: sometimes impulsive, but always carrying a message. I hope this collection touches you like the warmth of the sun's rays on a somber October afternoon.

    At what point do we figure it out does it get easier will we find the answers will I feel okay?
    Caitlin O'Ryan's debut collection is a journey of mirrors smashing and everything we have come to accept being called into question. With deep vulnerability and wit, she invites us to look inside of ourselves and to interrogate what we find there. Fuelled by the times that we are living in, her poems vibrate through the pages, grabbing you with a sense of urgency that says "you are not alone, I also feel this".
    Taken from her live performances and featuring her viral poem 'AT WHAT POINT' which has amassed millions of views online and culminated in her being invited onto BBC Woman's Hour, this book will light a fire in you that will continue to burn long after you have put it down.

    'heartily recommended, and a really, really good book for dipping randomly into, as well as of excellent quality all round.' – Mab Jones, Buzz
    'A big box of marvels, abuzz with distinctive voices and vivid tales. This is dazzling testament to the ability of Creative Writing groups to energise and inspire.' – Alan Bilton
    'Down-to-earth at one moment, the next fantastical, humorous or heartfelt, nostalgic or raw, and yet hospitable, grounded in locality but with connections open to the wide world' – Philip Gross
    Some collections serve to mark particular events or milestones, whilst others contain work of the highest quality. This collection manages both of these things, with 75 pieces of poetry, creative non-fiction, and short fiction by local writers celebrating 75 years of creative writing in this fabulous city of the arts.
    Cardiff Writers' Circle was formed in 1947 and is joined here by other local writing groups, all lending their imaginations to a wide variety of styles, genres, and formats. Poignant, playful, satirical, and acutely observed, this anthology is a showcase for the fantastic talent that exists today in Cardiff, city of the dragon.

    PICASSO : Poetesque  
    A poem about the cubist painter of the last Century (20th). 
    He was a surrealist artist, and in his earlier works painted in the neoclassical. 
    Born in Spain, he escaped Franco's regime by being in exile in France. 
    Some of his cubist art may have been influenced by his knowledge of the atrocities committed during 
    the Spanish Civil war, especially in his Masterpiece Guernica. 
    Released on Amazon :   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPPF6YW5

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    I’m working two jobs in Santa Cruz, trying to keep my life from collapsing. My mother is dead. I survived the concert. And my father disappeared in the chaos afterward. No body, no answers, just silence. I skate the city at night looking for him. Boardwalk lights. Empty streets. Flyers taped to poles that never seem to come down. 
     
    That’s when I meet an artist who’s dying, and the man who loves her enough to lie about it. They don’t offer safety. They offer a way forward. Following them pulls me into a world I never meant to enter. Quiet deals, borrowed names, and a doctor who operates outside the system. Every choice costs more than the last, and the closer I get to the truth about my father, the harder it becomes to recognize myself. 
     
    My name is Swan Singleton. And this is the mess I am trying to survive.
