Sinopsis

Choyce Drollery: Songs and Sonnets is a rich compilation of poetic works that captures the diverse emotions and experiences of humanity through the lens of the early modern period. The anthology features a selection of songs and sonnets that reflect the literary style of the time, intertwining themes of love, nature, and the transient beauty of life with the intricate rhythms and forms characteristic of Elizabethan poetry. The collection exemplifies the shift from the solemnity of medieval verse to a more personal and expressive approach, echoing the sentiments of contemporary poets while also preserving traditional forms. The contributors to this anthology are a tapestry of early modern poets, showcasing the period's rich literary context fostered by figures such as Shakespeare and Sidney. Many of these writers were influenced by their socio-political environments, as well as the flourishing of humanist thought, which encouraged self-exploration and the celebration of the individual. The collection serves as a testament to the creative diversity that characterized early modern English literature, allowing voices both well-known and obscure to resonate through their work. Choyce Drollery is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of English poetry and the socio-cultural currents of the early modern era. Its unique blend of lyrical beauty and intellectual rigor invites readers into a world where emotions are meticulously crafted into verse, making it a valuable resource for scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike.

    “In poetic prose, I revisit the scars of childhood abuse, molding me into a hollow shell of womanhood. Navigating immigrant pressures, cultures clash, tugging me in divergent paths. Unraveling buried trauma, self-destruction consumed, shattering false identities. Intuition emerges as my guide, leading through mystical realms to rebirth. From unworthiness to purpose-seeking, I rise, embracing happiness, truth, and destiny’s dance.” —From the author   This is the author’s poetic recollection of being abused as a child and how the aftermath shaped her to live her life as a shell of a woman. She takes the reader through the front seat of her mind as she navigates the pressures of being the daughter of brown immigrants and how the clash of cultures pushed and pulled her in different directions. Discovering the trauma stored in her body, self-destruction from the inside led to the inevitable death of her false self. Learning to trust her intuition and the universe, getting lost and found in the world of magic and her prophetic dreams, ultimately guided her to the rebirth of an awakened identity. She went from not feeling worthy enough to live, to searching for her purpose, pulling herself out of the hole, finding her happiness, and never looking back. She learned to live her truth, love herself, and instinctively play with her fate.

    Gaia is a channeled poetry book about claiming your inner goddess, and finding your truth.  
    This poetry book is for those who are ready to step fully into themselves, and their divine feminine energy. 
    Now is the time 
    For the Goddess to rise 
    To help us dissolve 
    All the lies 
    All the things 
    That we've been told 
    That have influenced us 
    As we grow old 
    It's time for you 
    To make the choice 
    To heed the wisdom 
    Of your inner voice 
    It will call to you 
    In times of change 
    But this is the way 
    Your life will arrange 
    So that you can claim 
    The Goddess within 
    Find your truth 
    And what you believe in 
    This channeled poetry book was inspired by the rising feminine energy on the planet at this time. 
    If it’s time to claim your inner goddess, let Gaia Rise Of The Goddess connect you back with the heartbeat of mother earth!

    The poems of this book were written at very various times, one (“Wind over the Sea”) I believe even as early as 1910, but the order in which they are here given is not chronological beyond the fact that the third part contains only poems written after the outbreak of the war. Of these some were written in England (at Oxford in particular), some in Wales and very many during a year in France from November 1915 to December 1916, which was broken by one leave in the middle of May. “The Burial of Sophocles,” which is here placed at the end, was begun before the war and continued at odd times and in various circumstances afterwards; the final version was sent me from the trenches. Beyond these few facts no prelude and no envoi is needed other than those here printed as their author left them. J. R. R. T.

    My Baby First Birthday

    Radiant and tender, My Baby First Birthday is a collection that examines innocence, asking us who gets to be loved and who has to deplete themselves just to survive. It's about existence and nonexistence, about being born—without consent. Jenny Zhang writes about accepting pain, about the way we fetishize womanhood and motherhood, and reduce women to their violations, traumas, and body parts. She questions the way we feminize and racialize nurturing, and live in service of other people's dreams. Her poems explore the obscenity of patriarchy, whiteness, and capitalism, the violence of rescue and heroism. 
     
     
     
    The magic trick in this book is that despite all these themes, the book never feels like some jeremiad. Zhang uses friendship as a lyric. She seeks tenderness, radiant beauty, and having love for your mistakes. Through all this, she writes about being alone—really alone, like why-was-I-ever-born alone—and trying, despite everything, to reach out and touch something—skin to skin, animal to animal.
