ANTONY FOSTIERIS belongs to the poets of the seventies. His poetic language stands out for its clarity and tone of familiarity. It is a dense and talkative language in which the poet formulates his craft based on a combination and spherical approach to his internal and external worlds. The main characteristic of his poetry is the combination of emotional and aesthetic elements with philosophical meditation. He is a crafty poet, a great image creator, who exploits the multiple meanings of words. Dense, glossy, glamorous, precise as a clock mechanism, whose tick sounds like a heartbeat, ...

The complexity of the translation act has often been talked about. Making a text cross over the confines of a language and culture within the borderlines of another language and culture is a deed of pride as the translator re-creates the original text and a deed of humility and obedience because translation is always a Luciferic fall. It is a subordinate(d) text that has to admit the limits imposed upon itself by the original. Translation is joy and pain. Rodica Marian’s poetry is the work of an intellectual influenced by her culture, by her knowledge as a linguist, semiotician, ...

Vespers honours the people of the Far North and their harsh yet inherently poetic and colourful surroundings. Manolis' poems and Ken Kirkby's paintings uncover deep values and symbols within the remote and breathtaking Arctic landscape. They render intimate scenes that simultaneously appear starkly apparent and profoundly layered. The exquisite techniques of both poet and artist help project their inspiration: the pristine and wild esthetic while illuminating the cultural experience in its essence. Vespers is a stunning collection that takes one away from the warmth and comfort of domestic ...

Vasilis Faita's visual horizon encloses a primordial, or rather genetic affinity with an astral destiny of pessimism and loneliness in the spin of a universe degenerating from 'one God to another God', a utopia where 'the meaning of words...escapes” and the “meeting”, to which the title of his collections refers, remain untouched. Faita's poetry has a conscious, strong connection with the Seferic ontology, a complex, organic semiology, that expresses itself with painful stories not only of the self in the singular orientation of the poet but also of all the other "lost generations" in...

This is my second anthology of poems. I do not claim to be a poet. I have no pretensions in that direction. I just like writing. Sometimes ideas and feelings come out as what I describe as poems and sometimes they come out as my version of novels. For me it is all about communication and playing with words. Words are slippery things, like eels. Their meanings are nuanced. When you put them together they are tinged with other sheen. They wriggle into other forms. A word is amazing. It is a symbol, sometimes for a very tenuous concept, that we are able to use to touch each other with. We ...

Topical Poetry reflecting the age we live in - themes of anti-war, covid, subversion, love, hate, politics and social comment. Trump and Johnson come in for some heavy treatment.

Commentaries on life, from a planet ruled by psychopaths and sociopaths, in a world of inequality, war, poverty and misery, created by us. Commentaries on a planet of awesome beauty in a universe of wonder. Written post Brexit and Trump, in the midst of a pandemic, in a country governed by extremist nationalists led by a clown - in a world on the brink of environmental catastrophe.

The world waits, lungs paralysed, minds frozen, cocooned in hope, with expectations so enormous people cannot even imagine the scale of their dreams. Everything hangs suspended. They want a Messiah, a universal panacea, an end to this mess we have created. They have tried democracy. They have tried capitalism. They have tried populism. They now want poetry! They want to breathe again, to think, love, share and find spiritual enlightenment. Opher’s new volume may well be the answer!

Once de marzo Antología de largos poemas Incluye 47 poemas propios. Toda antología es un capricho, con más o menos acierto, puesto que obedece a una selección inexplicable. Cuando puedes centrarte en un periodo de más de treinta años, el riesgo es encontrarse con un desorden de posibilidades infinitas. Sin embargo, por el aliento de algunos de los poemas escogidos decidí dividir los textos en tres partes: Barcelonas, Persistencias, Ecos. En la vida nada se presenta con una única forma, ni con una única voz. Todo se superpone, igual que capas de una cebolla que se van desenvolviendo...

Here we are in 2023. There is so much going on. We have the Tory Party in complete meltdown over their lies, corruption, sleaze and incompetence. We’ve a mean old Trump either looking into the abyss of prison or an improbable come-back. We’ve a terrible war in Ukraine that’s threatening to either turn nuclear or cause the demise of Russia. We’ve the spectre of Xi looking on and North Korea has gone relatively quiet. Top that off with the cost of living, poverty and a world that is heating up and you can see that there are more than enough issues for me to get my teeth into. As the ...

It would be very easy to assume that a book titled “Life Through Stoned Eyes” would be centered around the marijuana-induced ruminations of a poetic pot-head. This, of course, would be a shallow assumption and one that not only misses the mark but completely shifts the mark. It would also signal a lack of appreciation for symbolism, allegory and the ingenuity of personification and metaphorical art. Immediately upon receiving “Life Through stoned eyes” for review and the honor of writing a forward for an author whose work impresses and motivates me, I began to seek out the metaphor ...

These are poems that I wrote when I lost two women that have played a role in my child-hood, my grand-mother and aunt. They both passed away this year, I mourned for them and wrote these poems. They tormented my life when I was young. I held the hands that once beaten me with love instead of with revenge. I forgave them, prayed for them and loved them before they died. In all these I thank God of heaven.

I wrote these poems when someone said to me “Doreen, just be content it is not yet time for you to prosper”. Another person said to me “my Pastor said an elephant is pregnant for 18 months. So don’t’ rush to want to prosper”. I told the person, I’m not an elephant but a human being. I did not have any source of income, begging for accommodation, food and clothing. I no longer had the luxury of buying myself clothes but wore second hand clothes some were too small or too big. I was told “remember beggars are not choosers”. These poems are not only of my personal life but of...

While staying in a storeroom due to poverty, God said to me "take the pen and write poems Doreen". These poems about pain, hope and courage where written within two days. Truly they are Holy Spirit inspired. Comment from my Pastor was "these poems are from God".
