THE BOOK OF I.P.
by Chris Courtney Martin
Chris Courtney Martin's THE BOOK OF I.P. (Idle Poems) is a hybrid poetry and essay collection that is 'ironic in concept, sincere in content' as it deconstructs prescribed best-practices for getting ideas greenlit as a screenwriter and what it means to possess a producible story. “THE BOOK OF I.P. (Idle Poems) by Chris Courtney Martin has an ample tone of sovereignty while indicating the true face of societal vindication, the gap between this generation and the last one. The similes, personif... more
Awakening: The Trinity
by C.L. Brown
Diversion I am a mockingbird echoing melodies my sadness never sung Like falling suns serenading moonless nights Like sad hearts cowering behind brilliant eyes My song is my disguise For your bewilderment, I sing Masking my masterpiece of pain I am the cries of spring mornings though my soul shivers in the dead of winter I am a mockingbird echoing melodies my madness never sung
Bare
by C.L. Brown
Dust Where am I going? Is there a place for me? Do you not see? I AM nothing Yet everything An easy burden for the still soft wind Shifting from death to life then back again Having mastered both from the beginning of my end Where am I going? Is there a place for me? A place for my pain? For my truth? For my emptiness? I have given you all that I AM But you are not satisfied See how you sift me apart seeking yourself? I AM you Can you not see? Do you not hear my song? I hav... more

Poems from Paintings
by Jill Saudek
These poems were inspired by works of art, chosen across place and time for their intrinsic power and the challenge they present to provoke thoughts and feelings in the viewer. Ideally, readers should find a reproduction of the painting – easily available on the internet – to contemplate, before reading the poem. The hope is that readers might become aware of previously unnoticed aspects of the work and be interested in seeing how their own responses match or indeed conflict with those of the a... more
