  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

  What Breaks Us - a love letter...

  “What Breaks Us” by Megan Davis is a cathartic collection of poetry that channels pain and angst into strength for healing and self-discovery. This poetry collection is a candid reflection on heartache, loss, and the difficult work of self-examination to uncover unhealed wounds. With topics ranging from love to spirituality, grief to psychology, Davis’s poetry is an outpouring of emotion that balances the deeply personal with the universality of the human experience. 
    
  Davis initially began writing poetry in lieu of journaling, using creative writing as a way to process tumultuous feelings of attraction, loneliness, struggles with mental health, her relationship with spirituality, and the suffering faced by people around the world. She wrote the poems without intending to share them with an audience, and the palpable honesty in each piece of work reflects that intimacy, as well as the author’s approach to poetry as personal catharsis. 
    
  As the sections of the collection progress, readers move through phases of the author’s life alongside her, from heartbreak and anger to battles with addiction, through to growing self-acceptance, connection with others, and ultimately, a sense of empowerment built on perseverance and a willingness to engage with pain as a source of strength. 
    
  Beautifully written and poignantly capturing the internal battles faced by many, Davis’s poems are a touching portrait of the things that hurt us – and the ways these damaging experiences can be alchemized into sources of hope and growth.

  The Most Charming Creatures - Poems

  Gary Barwin

  With uncanny wit, inventive beauty, and numinous surprise, The Most Charming Creatures explores the contemporary and its language, considering our wonder, sorrow, bewilderment, anxiety, and tenderness. While these poems energize and connect and “turn the paren- / theses inside out so that / we mean everything,” they are also alive to the alluring complicity of language and its duplicity and deceptions. “This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but / while we watch.”
  		 
  A follow-up to the award-winning author’s acclaimed selected poems, this new collection continues Barwin’s examination of the possibilities of the poem: a celebration, a story, an investigation, a riff, a word machine, a parable, a transformation. But what are the “most charming creatures” of the title? In 1862, scientific illustrator Ernst Haeckel termed radiolarians (ancient single-celled organisms with mineral skeletons) “the most charming creatures,” but here Barwin turns the microscope around to consider something just as strange and mysterious: language, our culture, and the self. From microorganisms, onion rings, grief, and Gerard Manley Hopkins to beetles, neoliberalism, sandwiches, Martin Luther, and stand-up comedy, he offers: “it’s a miracle that we’ve survived / it’s a miracle that we’ve survived at all.”
