The Journey

For Antonatie Jemwa, The Journey, “…depicts the reality of events that each individual can relate to; it points out to positivity in the grand experience of life as it unfolds each chapter, just as each season, in a lifetime.”

Informed by faith, the poems have a common theme of love, of how enhancing and revitalising it can be, and yet at the same time so fragile. Grouped under headings like ‘Family’, ‘Dreams’, ‘Character’ and ‘Gone’, Jemwa shines a light on our interactions with the world, both metaphysical and real, which make The Journey a lottery that perhaps can only find an understanding through faith.

The Journey is a meditation, a sensitive look at our condition through the instrument of poetry.

The Ghost at Birkbeck Station and Other Terse Verse

In The Ghost at Birbeck Station Janet Ambrose offers a collection of poems formed by her early years in WWII, her life in politics and her life with dogs (amongst other things). The poetry views the world through a humorous lens, even the eponymous poem which relates an unnerving tale of contact with a ‘ghost' offers comic relief through a trick of light. There are doodlebugs and leaky dogs and run-ins with local authority. And there is an analysis of the Thatcher years from the perspective of one who was not too enamoured by the social contribution of the Iron Lady.

Slightly Salty

Along with frequent visits to the sea, this eclectic collection of poems by Colin Newnham features animals (both real and imaginary), historical events and the odd self-portrait. The poems are illustrated with charming simplicity by the author himself.'You can find out about the Arty Guffles and meet a Drizard, there are some comments by Dolphins and even Rats in space. An All Amphibian Band and a Snail hitchhiking to France will make you smile, Polar Bears and Giraffes, Newts and Gannets can be found and a pecker knocker is a creature new to science and makes an interesting adornment to your front door.'From Colin Newnham's Introduction

She Decided to Call Her First Child London

Whether it be England or America, Amelia Earhart or a commoner, war or wedding, this collection of poems paints your imagination with visions of them all.“In Lynn Strongin’s work, bread suddenly becomes ‘the color of buffalo’. Strongin magnifies the world around us.” – Hugh Fox, late great poet and critic“Lynn Strongin’s poems carefully explore historical memory and a sense of recovery with a lyricism that is never sentimental, but disciplined, complex. She explores… how to live after the blade, to live as either wounded or as a ghost. I love the notion of secret history, the beatitudes and brutalisms behind all our grander… fictions.” – Jonathan Minton“Accept Lynn Strongin’s invitation into this magical kingdom of bees, lambs and foxes. Wish too: ‘We can only afford to push away what we utterly possess.’” – Glenna Luschei, poet and publisher

Poems for Loved Ones

Death – it comes to us all. For some it means loss, for others, freedom; but in reality, it is the same as birth, a journey from one place to another.Poems for Loved Ones talks briefly about death and dying and about how the grieving process brings freedom and the ability to move on.

Planet Earth

When I was four years old, the family went on holiday to Blue Anchor Bay in Devon and I can never forget being mesmerised by the sun slowly sinking into the sea. I was filled with awe and had the feeling that the sun was smiling at me. In later years, I just could not believe that it all happened by accident; but must have been created. Science has revealed what an extraordinary world we live in and how we are all caught up in its continuing evolution. We are all in some way responsible for the future of the world, not just for the sake of our children but also for the future of the world itself.

Melodrama

Imagine trying to find the words you’ve been trying to say, but nothing seems to come. Those memories you once shared with your first love, your first heartbreak and trying to reinvent yourself. A new beginning. Everything came with time. If it’s meant to be, it will be. Everyone heals from pain and we build scars.

In an age where whole relationships are carried out by IM, text and email, she remains a dreamer, a hopeless romantic, who wishes that her 'Memories throughout her time she wishes she could keep in jars' will inspire love, romance and happy memories in her readers as she seeks – and hopes that we all find - that which she calls ‘Agapé love,’ the type of perfect love that transcends all others. Her journey is the somewhat convoluted one which most of us take, ebbing and flowing through this stage and that, meeting the right one, the wrong one, the next one … love and adoration, heartbreak and happiness, they all appear here, in thoughts and poems written from the ever-romantic heart.

Ink in the Wind

A collection of poems written over the span of years, from the bright optimism of a new beginning to the deep, dark recesses of depression, before offering the light of hope and the way forward as the writer follows their heart, the Ink in the Wind.

Human Emotions

Each and everyone of us has our own human emotions. Days can be filled with happiness whereas other days can be full of sadness. The uniqueness of one’s emotions can very rarely be understood by others. It is really difficult if not impossible to tell others how you feel or for them to understand how you are feeling. I have tried in this book to cover the inner most boundaries of human emotions splitting my poems into different realms of human thought. Hope, fate and destiny, joy, life, the world, loneliness, love, regrets, religion and the future are all covered in this book. I hope the reader can relate to and understand my poems and bring some perspective and reasoning towards their life. We are all not the same and never can be but we all have a heart and soul. By identifying these moments of thought I hope I can bring perspective and understanding to the reader. I hope you enjoy my book.
