"An uplifting read, a little wonder that speaks of the magic and good in everyone and the importance of following one's dreams." --School Library Journal A boy with a beard tries to stay six forever. A monster who is frightful lives a million miles away, but is equally scared of you. A magic rope hangs from the sky, next to a sign saying Give me a try. In this brightly illustrated selection of playful, often provocative poems, ideas run the gamut from slowing your lightning-fast running in order to let others keep up to imagining a store that sells never-before-made colors to admitting you'll never know all the answers (and sleeping better at night for it). Dallas Clayton's quirky, captivating collection makes it clear that this talent, whose work has evoked comparisons to Maurice Sendak and Shel Silverstein, exudes a spirit and style all his own.
Trouver de l'espoir au milieu du noir est l'une des choses les plus difficile que j'ai eu à faire.

"Effimera Follia" è un'antologia di poesie, comprendente pensieri scritti tra giugno e ottobre 2017. Parla di un incontro improvviso, di scelte di vita, di inganni, di brividi sulla pelle e di un sentimento che si può definire alquanto "effimero" e "platonico". Ogni situazione è stata vissuta, per gran parte del tempo, tenendo a freno le emozioni ed assopendole, con vari metodi. Questo libro segna la fine di un controllo mentale e l'inizio della volontà ferrea di vivere appieno la vita, con lucidità, sensibilità e coscienza del "tutto" e del "niente".Foto di copertina: "L'albero dell'Amore" di M.M.
Rome 723 has done it again. His second installment of his poetry collection is now available in Imagina the Journey Continues.
This is a big joke. a 20,000 word joke to be precise. The conceit being 'remove narrative from a novel' and replace it with 'flattened versions' in the form of chapter titles that refer to narratology terminology. As a second tier, I decided to use an Oulipan lipogram-type constraint in which each chapterlet is named after a letter of the English alphabet and does not contain that letter. This is another play on absence. My hope is that the lack of narrative is filled-in by the reader, as I found when I wrote it. Clearly there are protagonists. Although not spoken of directly, there are also the affects of events having taken place. Any implication of story has been generated by chance through the cut-up of archeological reports written by Bethan Bones and other material like lists of adjectives. The lack of the meaning-creating signal of narrative, produces a kind of null, a flatline a drone from which your transcendence may be apparent. Don't forget to laugh.

Unfortunately, their disagreement ends in disaster and a broken broom. Will they ever find a way to meet in the middle?"--

Reviews Irrepressible, unpredictable, and raucously popular children's poet Kenn Nesbitt was spawned in the same cracked petri dish as Jack Prelutsky, to whom he is the natural heir. (J. Patrick Lewis, US Children's Poet Laureate, author of Please Bury Me in the Library) Kenn Nesbitt wrote a book of poems A funny one I think. And though it's colored black and white Watch it tickle you PINK! (Douglas Florian, author and illustrator of Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings) Kenn Nesbitt's brain is the clown car of children's poetry.

Author of When You're a Pirate Dog and Other Pirate Poems) Fans of Kenn Nesbitt will gobble up this new offering, which combines his infallible command of rhyme scheme with the hilarious-yet oddly contemplative-wisdom of a child pondering the world.

''Fiecare pagin¿ a acestei c¿r¿i este o c¿l¿torie într-o realitate în care dorin¿a ¿i esen¿a se contopesc într-un s¿rut tulbur¿tor. Am transformat cuvintele în imagini intense ¿i personaje complexe, construind pove¿ti pline de adrenalin¿ ¿i provoc¿ri, sub apusul ¿i r¿s¿ritul rimelor.''
Ever since I was a young child, I fell in love with nursery rhymes and couldn't get enough of them. I read every nursery rhyme that my hands came across. Most of them had deep dark meanings that as a child I could not understand. I often wonder what the author meant. But I loved to look at the illustration and be lost in the world of Mother Goose. As I looked through the telescope of adulthood and read those rhymes, I saw hidden meanings that were too negative to mention and decided to make a few changes. As a born-again believer, I decided to make some positive changes that even adults would enjoy reading. This book introduces Christian spiritual elements and principles to nursery rhyme lovers. It brings new light to a parent reading a book to their child at night without the fear of deciphering questions that the child might ask, while still enjoying the rich bond of interaction between child and adult. As a Christian parent, one might feel that these nursery rhyme books are meaningless and silly and that the child should read books that are more meaningful. But the fact that like Humpty Dumpty we can have our lives shattered and God can put the pieces back together. Or like the three blind mice, blindness can be the darkness removed from our eyes causing us to see that we can see the light and that there is hope. This book can help to develop educational skills and to develop a love for literacy.
