  "take a stroll with me" is a collection of 58 poems by Mallory Shoemaker that celebrates the act of choosing joy. These poems are rooted in fairytale whimsy and like the truest stories, there is a little bit of darkness around the edges. At the core, this collection shows my joy in the face of many hardships– the spark I hold inside that I want to share with you.

  The Top 50 Poems - Fifty of the...

  Sometimes we just want the best.  But that involves choices, judgements, decisions. And that all depends on our feelings, our mood at the time. 
  Even more so with Poetry.  Would we like a little more pathos, or love, or humour with that? Can we only choose one Keats?  And ’If’? Surely Kipling wrote something else? 
  So difficult to decide. This one or that?  Is it easier to choose your fifty favourite poets or your fifty favourite poems? 
  The argument can go on forever, certainly a few days.  However what we can all agree on is that poets have a way with words that almost all of us respect and admire and can’t compete with.  Who hasn’t wanted to quote some favourite lines to make a better point? 
  In this volume we made those choices, judgements and decisions for you.      
  Some you will love. Maybe not today but tomorrow. Others may not initially be your cup of tea.  But they will all make you think and bring you closer to something..…or someone. 
   This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

  Mary Magdalene Poems

  Discovering what a hand she had in her own making, Margaret A. Harrell takes off on the theme of “I Predicted Me. Cutting straight to the question—did she foresee herself?—she delightedly answers yes. She invites the readers to ask: how much of a life is destiny, and how much is authored in real time? What have you already written into being?  
  With these unpublished poems and Magdalene poems alongside selections from the critically applauded Particle Piñata Poems, this collection once again marks Harrell’s full arrival into poetry. Her work moves as a “cosmic, often esoteric whirlwind,” writes BookLife (the indie/small press arm of Publishers Weekly) in reviewing Particle Piñata Poems. It compares the style to “the winds of a hurricane or flurry of a meteor shower.”  
  Of special interest in the audiobook is the shamanic sounds by Taiji master Jef Crab. 
  “The poetry of Margaret Ann Harrell reads like a Zhuangzi of the 21st century, taking its reader through a spiritual Odyssey, where one can hear the cosmic beat in the rhythm of the word play, the pulse of heartfelt mind-blowing experiences revealing a vast span of messages from beyond. It shows the craftman¬ship of a female shaman who has the power to catch such a dazzling wild and free roaming content into the nets of poems. Here is a . . . a rite de passage initiating its reader into multiver¬sal dimensions, bringing meaning to life where few have been looking to find it . . . a unique treat, a gift from those who know how to sow the seed for what really matters on earth.”—Chris Van de Velde, Light Looper, Zen novice

  A Doll's House

  Henrik Ibsen

  A door slams, and the echoes never fade. Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House (1879) is a play that doesn't shout—it lingers, unsettling and undeniable. Beneath the surface of a seemingly ordinary household lies a quiet storm, gathering strength with every polite exchange, every carefully placed smile.
  Nora Helmer is a wife, a mother, a woman adored. Her home is warm, her life is comfortable, her husband sings her praises. But when a long-kept secret begins to unravel, so does the delicate balance of her world. What happens when the roles we play no longer fit? When the words we speak don't match the voices inside us?
  Ibsen doesn't lecture, doesn't plead—he simply opens a door and lets us look inside. What we see is up to us. Is it a tale of liberation or betrayal? A tragedy or a beginning? More than a century later, the questions still stand, just as urgent, just as sharp.
  With A Doll's House, Ibsen didn't just write a play. He set a stage for countless conversations, forcing audiences to lean in, to question, to wonder. And when the final moment comes, when the door closes behind Nora, it isn't just her world that shifts. It's ours, too.

  Lady No

  Kim Hyesoon

  From the legendary avant-garde poet Kim Hyesoon, a landmark collection documenting her first and only work of digital performance art to date. 
  “Poetry in Korea has been a vaunted form—and traditionally left to men. Kim broke away from the masculine styles that came before her. . . . Kim has pursued a vernacular that’s intensely Korean yet open to the world.” —E. Tammy Kim, New Yorker 
  In March 2014, Kim Hyesoon, the grand dame of contemporary Korean poetry, began to post anonymously on the online blog of Munhakdongne, a major South Korean publisher. Rather than use her own name, Kim Hyesoon’s chosen persona for these blog posts was Lady No. Fittingly, Lady No’s writings are dissenting, combative, subversive, and ontologically feminine; formally, they defy any attempt at easy categorization. They are neither poems, nor are they prose, but a radical innovation Kim calls shisanmun—an ungovernable style that heralds her internationally acclaimed works Autobiography of Death and Phantom Pain Wings. 
  The entries in this seminal collection, arranged chronologically and in their entirety here for the first time, are an eclectic hybrid of opinion editorials, aphorisms, recipes, daydreams, travelogues, art criticism, as well as treatises on the metaphysics of poetry and the current state of international literature. They take place in and around the world but most often they return to a country called Aerok, a frightening yet familiar mirror of contemporary Korea. First unwittingly, and then with concentrated grief, they chart the course of one of the most politically significant years in recent South Korean history: the sinking of the MV Sewol on the morning of April 16th that killed 304 people, including 250 high school students, and the reverberations of this national tragedy that culminated in the impeachment and ouster of the country’s then-sitting president. Taken together, these writings bear witness to the people’s shame, mourning, and perseverance under a corrupt administration—a painful public reckoning not dissimilar from our own. 
  Surreal but visceral, and inflected with both humor and rage, Lady No contains perhaps the most accessible of Kim Hyesoon’s writing to date and documents her first and only work of digital performance art. Totaling 179 individual entries, Lady No explores the inner and outer lives of contemporary Korean women and embodies the inextricable link between social justice and literary citizenship.
