Sinopsis

Peter Gizzi has said that "the elegy is a mode that can transform a broken heart in a fierce world into a fierce heart in a broken world." For Gizzi, ferocity can be reimagined as vulnerability, bravery and discovery, a braiding of emotional and otherworldly depth, "a holding open." In Gizzi's voice joy and sorrow make a complex ecosystem. In their quest for a lyric reality, these poems remind us that elegy is lament but also—as it has been for centuries—a work of love. "This new poetry," Kamau Brathwaite has written about Gizzi, "taking such care of temperature—the time & details of the world—meaning the space(s) in which we live—defining love in this way. Writing along the edge. A way of writing about hope."[sample poem] Creely Songall that is lovely in words, even if gone to pieces all that is lovely gone, all of it for love and autobiography as if I were writing thishello, listen the plan is the body and all of it for love now in pieces all that is lovely echoes still in life & death still memory gardens open onto windows lovely, the charm that mirrors all that was, all that is, lovely in a song

    In her first book, poet Havva Ramadan explores the pain of grief, the struggle of mental health, and the journey we all must take to collect our pieces and rebuild ourselves once again. 
    With a mix of her most widely loved poems and previously unpublished material, A Voice, narrated by the author herself, is a beautiful collection of Havva's work that shows her deeply personal and relatable journey. Havva’s words are a light in the darkness for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength and turn their pain into power. 
    And should they stop loving you one day 
    I hope you know that it was nothing to do with your 
    capacity to be loved but their own capacity to live up to 
    the expectations they had built within the love they had 
    displayed unto you. 
    I hope you know that it does not make you unlovable, it 
    just means that this love is no more 
    but that you will be more without it. 
    POWERFUL POEMS: Havva’s evocative poetry offers validation and encouragement for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength. 
    HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE: The honest, thoughtful, and inspirational reflections in A Voice will resonate with readers of all ages and genders. 
    AFFIRMING AND UPLIFTING: Havva writes with vulnerability, grappling with heavy subjects such as abuse, violence, grief, and death, while remaining uplifting and affirming. 
    SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION: With a million followers across her TikTok and Instagram accounts—including celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian, Annie Lennox, and Alison Hammond—Havva Ramadan’s unique and compelling poetic voice has captured the attention and heart of people around the world.

    When Brianna Pastor released her self-published poetry collection, Good Grief, she was blown away by the outpouring of support from people who reached out and said, “Yes. Me too.” For anyone who has struggled with questions of identity or coped with serious emotional issues, including grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression, this collection will help you find hope on the other side.

And tomorrow is not always what we thought it would be.—from Good Grief

    The Love Poems

    Ovid

    The Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid) is best known for his epic poem Metamorphoses, a collection of myths and legends from Ancient Greece and Rome. His works continue to be widely read and admired, and he is regarded as one of the most significant poets of ancient Rome.
    Ovid’s love poems are both brilliant and evocative. In Amores (‘Loves’), the romantic mysteriousness of elegiac love-poetry is exploded by his witty and ironic treatment of the form. Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) and Remedia Amoris (The Cures for Love) both lay down the rules for the game of love, which both sexes can play.
    A.D. Melville’s translations, which also include the lesser-known Cosmetics for Ladies, have been specially licensed for this recording. It is delivered with customary panache by David Timson.

    sun memos is the second self-published poetry book by platinum ARIA accredited, Australian singer-songwriter, Ziggy Alberts. Differentiating from his lyrical work, sun memos is an introspective look behind the mind of the musician on the road and at home. Featuring his signature environmental metaphors, sun memos, is split into four parts and allows readers to join him on a journey of personal realisations and is an invitation to enter into a vulnerable relationship between the writer and the reader with each page. 
    sun memos was brought to life amongst the relative chaos of Ziggy Alberts’ extensive touring the world.  As Ziggy said -  
    “it was almost lost in the years between, and I can breathe a sigh of relief now these sun memos are bundled into these pages. Writing poetry has nothing to do with publishing it. Writing poetry is what music has been for me since the very beginning: an outpour. 
    Minimal planning, maximum emotion.  
    Like my first book, brainwaves, this is another thoughtfully independent project made possible by my family & friends at Commonfolk Publishing.  
    Looking forward to connecting with you all for the second time, and again."
