For many of those who've lived there, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan can seem like a magical place because nature there feels so potent and, at times, full of mystery. After having grown up there, Raymond Luczak can certainly attest to its mythical powers. In Chlorophyll, he reimagines Lake Superior and its environs as well as his houseplants as a variety of imaginary and historical characters.

We're set loose, untended, like beings from a menagerie of sorts, one day cooped up, the next fending for ourselves out in the oddness of the world doing for ourselves. This is the motif pursued in Gateless Menagerie. We intersect with the wild as well when out roaming, reacquainting with the animal kingdom and it with us. We are one in the same: gateless and viewed. How do the animals see us? How do we appear to them? Are we in harmony or only tolerating one another?

The Animal Within is filled with poems that want to swim together, focusing on animal and human nature. Dive in and listeners find a world where horses speak their minds, crawdaddies sing, and mermaids find love. Wolves howl "ahwoo at the full strawberry harvest moon in June", and birds do more than flap their wings, but rather create a voice for the oppressed. Humans step in, personas based off the author, and consider loss, depression, and love- inner-self mixed with creature habits—scratching down a lover's back or crying in a zoo.

The John Milton Poetry Collection includes four of his most beloved works, sharing Milton's pioneering writing on everything from politics to religion.

Poetry is about empathy, imagination, observation, and about internal and external truths. These works focus on a person's relationship with nature, others, and self, through depicting hope, love, memory, shame, immortality, acceptance, faith, happiness, confidence, passion, recognition, diversity, perseverance, forgiveness, vulnerability, and loneliness. Nevertheless, this poetry collection is like an assortment of gothic romances, because, despite a melodramatic imagination, love somehow finds a way to dominate and triumph all else.

In this book, there's life, love, heartache, humor, bronc riding, horse races complete from the starting gates to the finish line, and so much more. Every minute is a different adventure. I even put in Secretariat's Triple Crown races, written in poetry, from the gates down to the wire. It is a book that explains the ups and downs of 25 years through a jockey's eyes and how God helped me through the rough times. So skip to a minute, any minute, and enjoy the many adventures, from bronc riding, to tornadoes, to winning races. God bless you and have a great day.

Cameron McGill’s debut collection of poetry, In the Night Field, spotlights the effects of memory: its startling artistry, varied discontents, and casual fallibility. These poems chart the complex relationship between mental health and place; the difficult paths home can be lonely and circuitous, the emotional coordinates we map along the way a reminder of those intimate regions that hold and haunt us. Between the attentive, persistent self and the longed-for, absent other arises a fragmented conversation, an exchange that’s in a constant state of arrival.

This full arc of life—bigger than imagination in a raging fire—is set on paper by a poet obsessed with beauty, hooves, and the passion of flight....

Was duftet, strahlt und neigt sich dort so sachte? Blumen haben unzählige Gesichter, Farben, Formen und Gerüche. Doch eines haben sie alle gemein: Sie erfüllen Herz und Seele mit Freude. Manchen sind sie ein Symbol der Lebendigkeit, anderen gar Beweis von Göttlichkeit. Seit Jahrhunderten werden sie besungen, verschenkt und ranken sich um zahlreiche Geschichten und Riten - schmücken Hochzeitsaltare ebenso wie Geburtstagstische. So unterschiedlich die Blumen und ihre Bedeutungen sind, so vielfältig sind die Gedichte, die sie besingen.
