  Indecency

  Justin Phillip Reed

  • 0

  • 0

  Intricate, intimate, difficult, and confrontational poems that push at the boundaries of selfhood, skin, culture, sexuality, and blood. Indecency is boldly and carefully executed and perfectly ragged. In these poems, Justin Phillip Reed experiments with language to explore inequity and injustice and to critique and lament the culture of white supremacy and the dominant social order. Political and personal, tender, daring, and insightful—the author unpacks his intimacies, weaponizing poetry to take on masculinity, sexuality, exploitation, and the prison industrial complex and unmask all the failures of the structures into which society sorts us.

  In River of Rhyme, Roger Blakiston goes deeply into his quest for the meaning of life and connection to source. His inspirational poetry spans a wide variety of topics. He takes you on an exciting and enchanting journey into magical worlds, some fantasy, and others very real. You will encounter mystical realms of Angels, Wizards, Mermaids, Fairies, Elves, and Gnomes, as well as discover your own inner light that may have remained dormant for a while. 
  Some of his poems are in storybook form and frequently contain spiritual messages between the lines. The aim with his poetry is to inspire his listeners to think outside the box and be left with a positive feeling that, despite any darkness that may appear to be happening in their lives, there is always hope as they journey forward. His wish is to assure them that beyond the veil there is a passage to a place of peace, love, and joy. 
  He believes that River of Rhyme, his fifth book, is his most profound, powerful, and life-changing book to date. Roger is a trained actor and professional magician, with a soothing, theatrical British voice.

  Oils is a gorgeous, beguiling collection of poems where the poise of the delivery belies the emotional, existential turmoil within.
  Through his portraits of an atheist, a pickpocket and a spinach-loving sailor (among others), Stephen Sexton evokes a strange kind of melancholy as he strives to reconcile passion with detachment and profound self-doubt with unwavering love.
