FRANGK-LEE
Paperback || Jason Wright || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar
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...
Wound of lies
2022 || Paperback || Nadieh Koops || Mijnbestseller.nl
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
Sacha Moens
2022 || Paperback || Sacha Moens || Brave New Books
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...

SHORT STUDIES IN PENTAMETER
2022 || Paperback || ETHAN LEWIS || Monbeaulivre.fr
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...

disconnected

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.
The Waste Land Facsimile
2022 || Paperback || T. S. Eliot || Veltman Distributie Import Books
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...
War Poems
2022 || Paperback || Alexander Korotko || Glagoslav Publications Ltd
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...
