Rotting corpses

The huge open field, heaps of sand and gravel

The flat, irregular foundation lay in the middle of a lifeless lake

The entrance of the cluster of trees stood against the elements in the middle

The slowly rotting corpses of beauty

The desecrated ground and the murdered trees

Knowing one thing, seeing another

Forgive me, until the ground is healed

Embracing the Void is a book filled with thoughts, rhymes and questions on the human experience. It prompts the reader to question their reality and their sense of self. It is mystical and absurd, transcendental and grounding, deep and meaningless. We are born from the void and we will return to it. What we do in between is trying to make sense out of the nonsense. For Sacha Moens, the only way to do this is by a creative endeavour which attempts to grasp the emptiness hiding in each and ever...

rebirth is a collection of poetry about finding yourself again. about losing yourself, and learning to love yourself. this book contains four chapters, each serving a different purpose. the chapters are based on the sun’s changes: setting, dying, rising and glowing. we go through it, too. rebirth takes you on the long journey that awaits you after darkness; it is about finding your light again. in this author's note, handwritten notes make the journey even more personal.

And here we are again. More written thoughts, more poetry. And if there is one thing that I have learned: in poetry everything is possible. You can arrange your words as beautiful as you want them to be or you can just keep it plain and blunt as long as it stays the truth. Your truth. But there is always the choice of how you write your thoughts down. In the end there are no rules, it's poetry. On the other hand we write our poems, lyrics and quotes to tell the reader something. Even with fau...

Ethan Lewis, dubbed “Poet laureate of Hawthorne Place,” writes daily, stopped only perhaps by night time: “But then again, bed beckons: ‘It is time. / You satisfied exigencies of rhyme.’” Doesn’t he declare, “Pentameter helps pass the time”? Maybe it is a way for him to keep away, at least for a while, “our fate: to disappear”; and does he know how to cry for a departed friend: “Our loss. Your gentle soul and kindest life.” Ethan Lewis does not ignore what he owe...

My love for writing has always been part of me. Poems, short stories, columns and so on.

Recently I have published my two novels (written in Dutch).

Predominantly I have written my poems in the English language of which this is a handful

carefully selected for you. Ready to share the end result with you in this book “Crest of time”.

Over the years I have travelled a lot which I still like doing. Music,.....also, is an important part of my

life. Both of these passions, and life in gene...

While listening to the songs sung by Nick Cave, Radiohead, Trio and others these texts came into existence. Their worlds and words were replaced by mine. Their sound did make me look closer.

When the New York Public Library announced in October 1968 that its Berg Collection had acquired the original manuscript of The Waste Land, one of the most puzzling mysteries of twentieth-century literature was solved. The manuscript was not lost, as had been believed, but had remained among the papers of John Quinn, Eliot's friend and adviser, to whom the poet had sent it in 1922.

If the discovery of the manuscript was startling, its content was even more so, because the published version of...

Soon after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022, author and poet Alexander Korotko began to set down as poetry the turbulent responses at the emotional, philosophical and simply human levels evoked by the resulting war. Thus, we read in the 88 poems in this volume – completed in just less than 100 days – of the seemingly endless wail of sirens; of sheltering in cellars and tunnels; of the celebrated Ukrainian steppe, churned by tanks; the dead – “our killed, have become our Sa...
