Thought of Time and Rhyme consists of original verse penned relating to three different periods of life. In each period, you may feel the attitude of change, not only in the person, but in the land. Verses tell of that time, feelings of the day that are relevant for that place and time, from a personal pint of view. A view of DREAMS. Living through days in the life of this young Florida boy, growing into adult, situations encountered and what happens to ecology balance when humanity floods a serenity place, trying to hold onto places and lands that have survived where they were originally, over 437 years past, without radical change.

More than two dozen poets musing on the subject of Florida. Edited by Chris Bodor and featuring a foreword by Glenda Bailey-Mershon. With poems, instead of cameras, poets take snapshots of life. Writers from across America point their lyrical lens on Florida - the Sunshine State. Hand-picked, like Satsuma oranges from wind swept branches, every poet has contributed a unique snapshot. Northerners like Alan Catlin, Sean Flaherty, and Lewis Frederick Crystal weigh-in as outsiders looking in. Michael Henry Lee, Kimmy Van Kooten, Lee Patterson, and a dozen St. Johns County residents offer the local perspective. Folk singer Lonesome Bert Hodge, indie rocker David Dondero and musician Matt Butcher contribute song lyrics presented in poetry from. Jump on the tour bus at Fernandina Beach and feel free to get off at any stop. Ride all the way to the Keys, if you please. Savoring along the way, the acquired flavor of the Sunshine State.

"Monica Hand's me and Nina is a beautiful book by a soul survivor. In these poems she sings deep songs of violated intimacy and the hard work of repair. The poems are unsentimental, blood-red, and positively true, note for note, like the singing of Nina Simone herself. Hand has written a moving, deeply satisfying, and unforgettable book."—Elizabeth Alexander In an intimate conversation with the "High Priestess of Soul," Monica A. Hand surveys the places and moods of alienation through poems that are as musical and stylistically diverse as Nina Simone's work. Hand readily embraces a "mass hypnosis" style, putting "a spell on [us]" with her intensely passionate cries and commitment to embracing both tragedy and exuberance in these insightful poems.

A timely and moving collection from the renowned inaugural poet on issues facing our country and people—immigration, gun violence, racism, LGBTQ issues, and more. Through an oracular yet intimate and accessible voice, Richard Blanco addresses the complexities and contradictions of our nationhood and the unresolved sociopolitical matters that affect us all. Blanco digs deep into the very marrow of our nation through poems that interrogate our past and present, grieve our injustices, and note our flaws, but also remember to celebrate our ideals and cling to our hopes. Charged with the utopian idea that no single narrative is more important than another, this book asserts that America could and ought someday to be a country where all narratives converge into one, a country we can all be proud to love and where we can all truly thrive. The poems form a mosaic of seemingly varied topics: the Pulse nightclub massacre; an unexpected encounter on a visit to Cuba; the forced exile of 8,500 Navajos in 1868; a lynching in Alabama; the arrival of a young Chinese woman at Angel Island in 1938; the incarceration of a gifted writer; and the poet’s abiding love for his partner, who he is finally allowed to wed as a gay man. But despite each poem’s unique concern or occasion, all are fundamentally struggling with the overwhelming question of how to love this country.
