Poems are special. They form invisible connections through words to each other and the world around us.

As the debut book to the poetry collection, my Pearl contains 30 poems that tell stories and act as a window into feelings, love, heartbreak, parenthood, happiness, friendship and relationships, and life; something that we can all relate to.

my Pearl has been created through a rediscovered love of writing that started when the author was younger but that had been lost over the years.

This

Is the place

Where everyone has been

Some left

Some stayed

Some kept coming and going

The place you don’t want to be,

But you just went there , you had to,

Welcome

To The Garden.

A place where you are truly yourself

And for some people it’s a scary place

An even two hundred years have passed since the first publication of Adam Mickiewicz’s Ballads and Romances — a collection of lyrics which has the same significance for Polish literature as Wordsworth and Coleridge’s Lyrical Ballads has for the English. Poems of love, the supernatural, and the exotic, Mickiewicz’s first volume of poetry achieved a level of sublimity that immediately set him at the head of all Polish ...

A passionate intensity moves through the subjective, intimate voice of the poems of Natalka Bilotserkivets. Through translation, Subterranean Fire continues their mysterious pilgrimage to their second lives. From one of the true inheritors – touchstones like Anna Akhmatova, Gabriela Mistral, and Louise Bogan – the poems of Bilotserkivets inhabit us as they include us in their transcendent borderland.

– American poet James Brasfield

With great depths of feeling, Natalka Bilotserkivets�...

In here; the weird things about life, love, hurt, shame, grief, (self) acceptance, the unknow and the known.

Life can be quite chaotic for young adults because we go through many things at once. We develop into the person we want to become, you meet love along the way, you might have good or bad luck, you can be happy or unhappy in friendships/relationships, you can bump into disappointments, sadness. All while you still dream of what you desire most in life.

This is the age where you experi...

The stunning new collection of poetry from Atticus, the no.1 Instagram poet

‘Perhaps some day I’ll disappear forever,’ muses the master-builder Psymmachus in Cyprian Kamil Norwid’s Cleopatra and Caesar, ‘Becoming one with my work…’ Today, exactly two hundred years from the poet’s birth, it is difficult not to hear Norwid speaking through the lips of his character. The greatest poet of the second phase of Polish Romanticism, Norwid, like Gerard Manley Hopkins in England, created a new poetic idiom so ahead of his time, that he virtually ‘disappeared�...

The void swallows the vultures, de eerste gedichtenbundel van Nick Voets, bevat rauwe Engelstalige gedichten die zijn geschreven tussen het najaar van 2021 en 2022. Voets schrijft puur en direct, vanuit zijn eigen ervaringen, fantasieën en angsten, over alles wat hem gedurende een jaar 's nachts wakker heeft gehouden. Het resultaat is een gevarieerde bundel die soms ontroert, soms shockeert, maar ten alle tijden prikkelt.

I have always loved writing, poems, short stories. Recently I have published two

novels (in Dutch). Above all,.. most of my poetry is in English of which this is a handful

carefully selected for you, “Whispers of time”.

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

So here it is for you to read, enjoy, and to familiarize with

This collection of poetic verses provides a fascinating insight into everyday life in an African village.

By establishing a homestead, we not only enjoy the view from the veranda, but live with the people in the village as they creatively secure a livelihood, consult their spirits, healers and prophets and fear the power of the witches. We experience the remnants of the colonial per...
