  The Top 50 Poems - Fifty of the...

  Sometimes we just want the best.  But that involves choices, judgements, decisions. And that all depends on our feelings, our mood at the time. 
  Even more so with Poetry.  Would we like a little more pathos, or love, or humour with that? Can we only choose one Keats?  And ’If’? Surely Kipling wrote something else? 
  So difficult to decide. This one or that?  Is it easier to choose your fifty favourite poets or your fifty favourite poems? 
  The argument can go on forever, certainly a few days.  However what we can all agree on is that poets have a way with words that almost all of us respect and admire and can’t compete with.  Who hasn’t wanted to quote some favourite lines to make a better point? 
  In this volume we made those choices, judgements and decisions for you.      
  Some you will love. Maybe not today but tomorrow. Others may not initially be your cup of tea.  But they will all make you think and bring you closer to something..…or someone. 
   This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

On the other side of the wall may lie another path.  As Franklyn himself discovers, a perceived reality can be as real as reality itself.

  Eliza’s Auschwitz journal becomes a must read for a German woman – Anna, who’s on a mission for her son Wolfgang shortly after 1967’s 6-Day War in Israel. Anna hopes to clear him of accusations of being a war criminal while performing his duty as an SS officer during WWII. 
  Containing elements of a thriller, a petrifying war saga and an unconventional romance, this heart-searing novel evolves into a tapestry of brokenheartedness, self-reproach, and perhaps resilience and stalwart acceptance. What must these women do to keep their humanity intact? Its intended audience is any historical fiction lover who wishes to delve deep into the psyches of those who are able to survive this unimaginable hell at all costs.

  …Today I discovered/what a group of butterflies is called./ Their name is Kaleidoscope,/” 
  begins the final nine-line stanza of Cat Russell’s “Kaleidoscope,” a poem sharing her book’s title. Its final three lines read, “…the everchanging pattern/ a perfect fusion of shifting compliments:/ the envy of artists, flowers, and clear-blue skies./” Russell’s delightfully accessible homage to butterflies is an ideal invitation into her poignant collection of 86 poems. They entice readers to savor every sip of them in a single sitting. 
  There is something for every palate: from the humor in “Cheapskate Midlife Crisis” and “F-Bombs,” to the understated predatory horror in “Servings,” to the anticipatory excitement of a thunderstorm in “Foretaste.” 
  Kaleidoscope showcases a writer whose talent is boundless! Cat Russell’s poetry is both beguiling and intellectually intoxicating. You’ll undoubtedly mark her collection a favorite. 
  -Sandra Feen, 
  State of Ohio Beat Poet Laureate (2022-2024) 
    *Original hardcover edition of Kaleidoscope published by Venetian Spider Press.
