Sappho is arguably one of the first famous poets in history. She composed nine books of poems and lyrics, and from that myriad of creativity, only one poem remains complete. One of the most tantalizing aspects of Sappho's writings are the large gaps of white between her ink. This space encourages the reader to become an author as they extrapolate the original poem from their interpretation of the ancient Greek words left to them.About the AuthorHaley Howard is a biochemist, second-year medical student, and writer. She was often told growing up that one could either love math and science, or the arts, but she always strives to exceed expectations. When she is not learning the correct way to place a stethoscope into her ears (it is not as intuitive as one might presume) and tracing the innervation of the extensor carpi radialis brevis in a cadaver, she enjoys scouring the works of ancient poets and artists and letting her imagination eternalize them in the present. She wanted to be a writer years before her affinity for medicine came to fruition, and she encourages people of all professions to foster their creativity in whatever media they see fit.

The Poetry Of Philip Larkin: A Study In Long PerspectivesBy: S. N. PrasadThe present book is an innovative attempt to give the Philip Larkin criticism a new direction. Early critical writings on Larkin for the most part tried to show him as a provincial poet and his poetic imagination as of a middle-brow kind. However, soon some perceptive readers of his poetry found some of its real value, as a result of which he is now regarded as one of the major British post-modern poets. This book has tried to show that Philip Larkin in his poetry tries to see man in his present existential condition and he sees his future prospects as a species in very long perspectives and, in this respect, besides his many- faceted merit as a true poet, he can and should be seen in the company of great mainstream scientists, philosophers, creative writers and thinkers. Philip Larkin in his major poems aims at giving a therapeutic touch to the ailing human culture. This book has a long INTRODUCTION which tries to show the true origins of man, his physiology and his present psycho-social condition. Views of reputed creative writers, scientists, philosophers and thinkers have been referred to in this connection. In the three middle sections of the book, thirty of Larkin's poems taken from his three major volumes have been analyzed individually at some length. These analyses reveal some of the very important but hitherto unrevealed aspects of his poetry.About the Author"The author, S.N.Prasad, M.A., Ph.D. was a retired Professor of English, B.R.A.Bihar University, INDIA. He was a Prof at Sana University. He was Prof and HOD at Hodeida University, and a Republic of Yemen for a total period of over 15 years in several stints. He had published six papers-four in India, one in a British Journal (About Larkin, "Journal of the Philip Larkin Society) and one paper, written jointly with a colleague in Yemen, in an online journal."

2033By: Roger Bron FikIn the shadow of the Presidential Election of 2016 the author of "2033" was reminded of the recently tossed around "fact" that empires allegedly last only around 250 years. A disconcerting fact arose - America was about 230 years of age! Was time almost up?Panter Colobasi, flawed hero of the effort to save the USA, wages struggle against the forces of yet another secession - complicated by the duplicity he encounters at every turn. Good suffers while evil thrives. Our hero, amidst the treachery and violence around him, finds time to love and although the start was bumpy, Chloe detects in him a rough nobility and allows him in her life. But their love cannot survive in a loveless world and Panter's last words serve as a measure of his dismay.About the AuthorRoger Bron Fik is a graduate of State University of New York at Buffalo, NY with degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy. Despite constant scribbling poems and short stories during and after his academic career the author rationalized rejection by avoiding it. No submission. No rejection. So it is peculiarly ironic that the author's very first submission of any kind should pass muster. Or, as seems more correct, "Pure dumb luck!"

We live under an illusion that we live in a world of harsh divisions. People don't want unity because we have an affinity for totalitarianism, because we have a common ideal, food, and security, and we identify as the victim and likewise identify a group of oppressors rather then any specific individual, so invite the tyrannical excess of our position and impose it on people because people don't normally care if it doesn't affect them and all the better if it benefits them. Ecofeminism and Pantheism has been abandoned by many philosophers and thinkers because of there lack of there inconsistencies and lack of identity, but these belief systems can lead to the synchronicity of opposites such as the masculine and the feminine, eastern and western religions, and republican and democrats. Ecofeminism and a Pantheism can orient us towards compassion and humility, which should be the foundation of our ethos. Animal cruelty, tribalism, religion, and atheism are psychological indicators of a suffering society. There is a correlation between how societies become cruel and societal erosion. The environment is the heart of the economy because of the resources it offers but the genocide of native animals and ecocide often coincide with a cruel society. Once a society degenerates into ignorance, resentment, betrayal, division, fragmentation, and corruption, then society will become cruel and become totalitarian and then it will eventually collapse. The source of psychological suffering and what leads to crime and wickedness is the fall from nature and the separation of the family household. The way that societies become cruel begin with betrayal, deception, and rejection and a societal indicator of this when we see isolation, alienation, and tyranny, and this is caused by family, friends, and the state. Because this resentment towards life and towards state accumulates over generations and is passed down through the form of childhood trauma. In other words, we have a non-ending cycle of resentful parents which leads them to be tyrannical, and this accumulates and makes up society, and then we make our children internalize the problems of society through shame dumping, blame shifting, worship and dogmatic intrusion. We do this because children are extensions of ourselves. All issues in society start in the family household.About the AuthorBryce Winn lives in Sacramento, California.
