Gimme Liberty I Can Smell

More Info
Johnny Flaherty's latest book Gimme Liberty I Can Smell ! is a bold collection of neobeat poetry homaging a motley array of heroes. It's a maverick's manifesto that promotes "individualism" in a world enamored with collectivism. It promotes "freedom" in a society that values wealth and power above all else. And it promotes "pacifism" in a country waging perpetual war. Nevertheless, the author is undaunted by this challenge, believing that "to keep a flame burning" is a worthy goal in itself. With the ease of an old-school bard, Johnny blends storytelling with unflinching social commentary spiced with dry wit, satire, and paradox. At times, he plays the devil's advocate, and on occasion turns history on its head. His tone is often existential, while his outlook is optimistic, encouraging readers to acquire a taste for unflavored truth. His poems explore many ways liberty is experienced and enjoyed; then, too, how it is so often repressed. Neil Dale's freewheeling illustrations, combining whimsy with drama, augment the book's spirit. And from the poem of the old lady on a park bench: "Life necessitates courage !"

Another wonderful poetry anthology from Garrison Keillor-rooted in the American landscape.

Greatness comes in many forms, and as Garrison Keillor demonstrates daily on The Writer's Almanac, the most affecting poems in the canon are in plain English. Third in Keillor's series of anthologies, Good Poems, American Places brings together poems that celebrate the geography and culture that bind us together as a nation. Think of these poems as postcards from the road, by poets who've gotten carried away by a particular place-a town in Kansas, a kitchen window in Nantucket, a Manhattan street, a farm in western Minnesota. Featuring famous poets and brash unknowns alike, the verses in this exhilarating collection prove that the heart can be exalted anywhere in America.

Silver Winner, Focused Topic-Translation, Nautilus Book Awards

"Delicate and tough, a crafted danger, full of wit as well as abandon, Hafiz's lyric is one of the rare mysteries of world literature."
--Coleman Barks, author and translator of The Essential Rumi

I have this gem and it's looking for a beholder

Hafiz of Shiraz (also known as Hafez) remains the most beloved name in all of Persian literature. Indeed, his mystic, lyric poetry is cherished as one of the great achievements of world literature, on a par with Dante, Goethe, and Shakespeare.

Hafiz's Little Book of Life is a lush collection of more than 250 selections from his lifework. Also included is a vivid portrait of his life and times, translators' notes, an extensive glossary, a bibliography, and an appendix on Hafiz as an oracle. Here are classic soaring flights of fancy and solid life lessons--made new by two award-winning translators.

This is the perfect introduction to Hafiz for all lovers of poetry and seekers of love, spirituality, and wisdom. Let the unforgettable words of Hafiz shine through you with their love, profundity, wit, and celebration of life.

"This is translation as a real 'carrying-across, ' as art, not artifact . . . this one drops the reader/listener directly into their own soul-struggle. Immerse yourself and be transformed!" --Neil Douglas-Klotz, author of The Sufi Book of Life and A Little Book of Sufi Stories

"From the first page, you are invited to settle into a sublime sanctuary and partake in enchantment until you feel the Beloved inside your beating heart and running through your veins." --Ari Honarvar, author of A Girl Called Rumi

It combines a full cast with stirring music and sound effects to bring this magnificent Shakespearen classic vividly to life. Revealing new riches with each listening, this production of "Hamlet" is an invaluable aid for students, teachers and all true lovers of Shakespeare -- a recording to be treasured for decades to come.
