These poems do exactly that, catching us out in the most adroit, surprising ways: by sheer skill, self-aware intellect, a mordant wit, abundant heart, a gift for metaphor so exact it produces combustible insights of complex truth. These poems brilliantly enact our contradictory nature, its poles, and they compel us to look w...

Report copyright infringementby Hubeyb Mohammed (Author)We are the moody, doomed to misunderstanding, always accused of arrogance, because we are silent, we who do not resort to anyone when we feel sad and self-medicate. We are the morning lovers of the evening. We choose half of the light and dimming. We who thought that when we drown; We will die, we drowned in art, and because of this drowning: we survived. We get more mature with pain, not with the passage of time. We do not arrange the p...

Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me. And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a houset...

Report copyright infringementby Sugata Sarkar (Author)If love at first sight was a norm, Adam and Eve would not have to fall for the illusion of apple in the Garden of Eden. The ascent of love is an unsolved paradox. It ushers the fervent downpour of the sky in its futile attempts to embrace its beloved earth. It sneers the eclipse as the earth tries in vain to unite with its moon. The rationally incomprehensible universal virtue with the oceans falling short to determine its depth; the skies...

Report copyright infringementby Buff Lindau (Author)The House That Holds, written over the past dozen years, is about living in Vermont. These poems are different from others in that they celebrate home, family, art, gardens as these subjects come to us, as they are experienced within the context of a lived life, and not in the context of 'poetry'. They push forward the boundaries of poetry, by engaging everyday life, not passing over daily life to prematurely philosophize. There are depths t...
