Beschreibung

"Yanks: A.E.F. Verse" serves as a poignant anthology capturing the collective voice of American soldiers during World War I, blending personal reflections with emerging modernist styles. This compilation features a diverse range of poems that reflect the raw emotions, camaraderie, and brutal realities of the battlefield. The verses are characterized by their vivid imagery and authentic expressions of fear, hope, and resilience, framed within the broader context of the Great War, which reshaped not only the landscape of Europe but also the psyche of an entire generation. The anthology is a product of various authors, many of whom were soldiers themselves or closely acquainted with the war's toll on humanity. Their experiences in the American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.) influenced their creative expressions, often serving as a cathartic outlet for processing trauma and loss. The collection reflects the era's literary movements, positioning itself between traditional verse and the avant-garde, encapsulating the voices of a time when poetry answered the call of urgent historical events. "Yanks: A.E.F. Verse" is an essential read for those seeking to understand the intersection of art and war. Its emotional depth and historical significance offer invaluable insights into the human condition amidst conflict, making it a critical addition for both scholars of war literature and general readers alike.

    The Poetry of Art - Creative and...

    Art comes in many shapes and sizes and many different forms.  And one person’s art is often someone else’s object of derision. 
     
    But what we can all agree on is that Art exists, that it’s something perhaps unique to humankind but very definitely evokes a deep reaction whether of ‘wow!’ or ‘what?’   
     
    In this volume we take Art as our subject and have it reviewed and explored by other Artists, by Classic Poets. 
     
    True Art ignites an individual response or a collective awareness.  Our DNA seems to cultivate that.  When we engage with Art the results are at times as surprising as they are interesting. 
     
    In the words of Keats, Shakespeare, Wharton, Chatterton and very many others Art is seen and understood both as that individual reaction and a collective experience.  Art is where it’s at.

    In the shadowed heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Bellevue was a town built on coal, secrets, and grudges that never die. Joe Galloway thought the worst was behind him. After surviving the storm that nearly destroyed his business, he’s determined to rebuild. But someone isn’t ready to let him rise from the ashes. When an OSHA inspector turned up dead, the town was gripped with fear—whispers spread that the Dark Hands crime family had arrived, bringing a new wave of violence with them. For fifteen years, Joe carved out his place in Bellevue, battling those who saw him as an outsider. But with enemies closing in from all sides, old rivalries reignite, and buried sins claw their way to the surface. The battle for Galloway mining was no longer about business—it’s about survival. Because in Bellevue, the past never stays buried. And this time, Joe Galloway may not make it out alive.

I was delighted to learn that JG Faherty is expanding his horizons into poetry, and the result is a fascinating compilation of dark enchantments. Highly recommended!" —Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine 
    "I love the way JG Faherty's extraordinary poetry collection plays with language, form, and emotion. These pieces are by turns frightening, melancholy, disturbing, smart, and darkly witty. Songs in the Key of Death is a hit!" —Lisa Morton, six-time Bram Stoker Award® winner

The poems are philosophical and eerie, sometimes brutal and disturbing, with a lot of sharp edges and concise choices of language and imagery." —Erinn Kemper, horror and weird fiction author whose stories have appeared in Tor.com, Black Static, Chiral Mad, Prism, Cemetery Dance Magazine, Dark Discoveries, and other markets

    This Collection contain 77 poems divided into 4 parts as follows:Rice in Peaceful landWhen the Royal Azala BloomsLove Song of a Broad RockSudal’s WhisperAuthor Lee Su-dal personifies the poetic object and its emotional communion and empathy through allegory to have a primary surface meaning and a secondary hidden meaning. 
    In this collection, author made the poems concise and easy to read than creating images, and he personified the poetic subjects through allegory to create empathy , and even when he turned his attention to social phenomena and satirized the world, he made the readers feel a positive and hopeful perspective rather than a sharp criticism.
