  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. 
   
  The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. 
   
  Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art.  Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.   
   
  In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in Pennsylvania, one of the most famous states of the Union.  Its proud and illustrious history shines out through verse by such illustrious and venerated names as Stephen Vincent Benet, Louisa May Alcott, Wallace Stevens, Hilda Doolittle, Henry Van Dyke, and others as they explore its status, its nature and its role in shaping the world of verse.

  Step into a world of shadow and sorrow with this haunting audiobook performance of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, brought vividly to life by Salvatore Giuseppe Sichi. With a voice that captures both the fragility and descent of the poem’s tormented narrator, Sichi delivers a deeply atmospheric reading that draws listeners into every whispered “Nevermore.” 
  Enhancing the experience is an original Spanish guitar score, also performed by Sichi, weaving a rich emotional undercurrent throughout the narration. The delicate, melancholic melodies echo the poem’s themes of loss, longing, and madness, creating a hypnotic fusion of spoken word and music. 
  This immersive interpretation transforms Poe’s classic into a cinematic auditory journey—perfect for late-night listening, lovers of gothic literature, or anyone seeking a powerful and evocative storytelling experience.

  Beauty of the Human Form

  This Poem is Titled 'Beauty of the Human Form.  ::  
  It is a poem about the never ending fascination of People with the Human body. 
  Some might say, its in our DNA. That maybe so.  
  The Greeks knew how to display it, as both eroticism and as an Art form. 
  Showing both sexes in the 'Perfect' perfection of Beauty! 
  Unfortunately; the human form, especially the female human form has been in the last few decades 
  since the new renaissance or as we call the sexual revolution or as is now the 'free society'. 
  Denigrated to an object not of art but purely of desire, or descended into the more pornographic exploitive realms of decor art. 
  *NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. * As for all his poems & s/stories.* 
  *Just the purity of thought of the Author.

  After the Fall: Dirges Among Ruins

  This collection explores the creative space of poetry as a means to unravel feelings evoked by the violence of war or by everyday traumatic events. One may come to terms with uncomfortable, including unspeakable, feelings by describing them with imagery from nature and one’s immediate environment. By participating in grieving, the self can better face any lingering effects of trauma. In this creative space, dramatic speakers retell stories and give vent to contradictory feelings through silences and free play. Their accounts attest to the dappled beauty of the human condition even if the full nature, scope and effects of traumatic memories are always beyond their grasp.
