  Human Resources - Poems

  Winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry
  Prize, Ryann Stevenson’s Human Resources is a sobering and
  perceptive portrait of technology’s impact on connection and power.Human Resources follows
  a woman working in the male-dominated world of AI, designing women that don’t
  exist. In discerning verse, she workshops the
  facial characteristics of a floating head named “Nia,” who her boss calls “his
  type”; she loses hours researching “June,” an oddly sexualized artificially
  intelligent oven; and she spends a whole day “trying to break” a female
  self-improvement bot. The
  speaker of Stevenson’s poems grapples with uneasiness and isolation, even as
  she endeavors to solve for these problems in her daily work. She attempts to
  harness control by eating clean, doing yoga, and searching for age-defying skin
  care, though she dreams “about the department / that women get reassigned to
  after they file / harassment complaints.” With sharp, lyrical intelligence, she
  imagines alternative realities where women exist not for the whims of men but
  for their own—where they become literal skyscrapers, towering over a world that
  never appreciated them.Chilling and lucid, Human
  Resources challenges the minds programming our present and future to consider
  what serves the collective good. Something perhaps more thoughtful and human,
  Stevenson writes: “I want to say better.”

  I Remember - I Am Eternally Divine

  I Remember is a book of poetry inspired while traveling, spending time in nature and from my life's experiences. As a multiracial man in America, I feel I was given the opportunity to experience discrimination and prejudice from people of all walks of life. To learn I needed to love to accept myself first so I can witness firsthand society's most crucial issues of division and polarity. From the systemic illusion of separation from nature and humankind as a whole, due to the fact that most of us have yet to remember who we really are. Although the media is persistently promoting fear and division. The intention of this book is to share a sense of awareness of who we are beyond the body while inspiring the reader to love and have compassion for themselves and others at a greater capacity. Regardless of what one may have learned from their parents, culture, media, movies etc. I Remember is resurfacing to remind the masses we are all equal expressions of the Divine and now have a role to play in co-creating “The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.”

  'And you have fixed my life – however short. You did not light me: I was always a mad comet; but you have fixed me. I spun round you a satellite for a month, but I shall swing out soon, a dark star in the orbit where you will blaze.'
  
  A deeply powerful poetry collection that lays bare both the horrors and humanity of the First World War, told with unflinching honesty and profound beauty by one of the greatest war poets in history: Wildfred Owen.
  Wilfred Owen: The Selected Poems brings together the most searing and unforgettable works of the poet whose voice has come to define the tragedy of World War I. Writing from the trenches, Owen crafts poems that confront the violence, fear and tragic waste of war while elevating the humanity of those caught within it. His mastery of imagery and sound – whether in the bitter irony of 'Dulce et Decorum Est', the haunting tenderness of 'Anthem for Doomed Youth', or the bleak beauty of 'Exposure' – transforms personal and collective suffering into timeless art. This collection not only preserves the anguish of a generation lost to conflict, but also continues to speak across time about the costs of war, the fragility of life and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
  Wilfred Owen (1893 – 1918) was one of the most famous English poets writing during the First World War. A second lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment, Owen endured several traumatic experiences throughout his time in service, much of which was the inspiration for his writing. Owen was killed in action at just twenty-five years old, but his poetry depicting the horrors of warfare remain widely read to this day.

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
   
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
   
  It is at first difficult to comprehend that the carnage and slaughter of War could yield some of our greatest poetry.  Harder still that in four years of horror humanity was able to destroy and create on such a scale.  These 10 poets and their verses speak for everyone.
