DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe development of A POETIC KALEIDOSCOPE came about when friends, after reading A LOVE TRILOGY, suggested that Ted write some more poems. Of all the subjects he picked, PURGATORY was the challenge he chose. This poem was an extreme challenge due to the complexity of the subject, and from that poem on, the rest just blossomed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKaleidoscope: Turns of Prose and Poetry is a collection of literature from The Carnegie Writers, Inc. Adult Writing Workshop. Through poetry, prose, and play-writing, each writer involved brought their own voice to the page. Everyone sees something different in a kaleidoscope, but to communicate that vision is something else entirely. These writers beautifully depict the shifting shapes and colors of everyday life. Writing Facilitators Heather Hickox and Brian Smith would like to thank the participants of the Adult Writing Workshop for their hard work and commitment to this project. Kaleidoscope is a wonderful achievement, a true monument to creative expression, and we hope it will be enjoyed and explored for ages. The Carnegie Writers, Inc. is a community-based non-profit organization focused on writing education and collaboration. The Carnegie Writers provides positive and productive support for writers of all ages, also offering publications, writing events, and professional conferences. The organization was founded by Oluwakemi Elufiede in August 2013.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Invention of the Kaleidoscope is a book of poetic elegies that discuss failures: failures of love, both sexual and spiritual; failures of the body; failures of science, art and technology; failures of nature, imagination, memory and, most importantly, the failures inherent to elegiac narratives and our formal attempt to memoralize the lost. But the book also explores the necessity of such narratives, as well as the creative possibilities implicit within the “failed elegy,” all while examining the various ways that self-destruction can turn into self-preservation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKate Kingston writes about intimate environments, especially the terrain of Spain and Mexico and the wilderness in the Southwestern U.S., to reveal the complexities, strengths, and resilience of the female spirit. The poems in Shaping the Kaleidoscope resonate with the theme of landscape as integral to the self, how our outer landscapes shape and reveal our inner landscapes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Tracy K. Smith’s poetry is an awakening itself.” —Vogue Celebrated for its extraordinary intelligence and exhilarating range, the poetry of Tracy K. Smith opens up vast questions. Such Color: New and Selected Poems, her first career-spanning volume, traces an increasingly audacious commitment to exploring the unknowable, the immense mysteries of existence. Each of Smith’s four collections moves farther outward: when one seems to reach the limits of desire and the body, the next investigates the very sweep of history; when one encounters death and the outer reaches of space, the next bears witness to violence against language and people from across time and delves into the rescuing possibilities of the everlasting. Smith’s signature voice, whether in elegy or praise or outrage, insists upon vibrancy and hope, even—and especially—in moments of inconceivable travesty and grief. Such Color collects the best poems from Smith’s award-winning books and culminates in thirty pages of brilliant, excoriating new poems. These new works confront America’s historical and contemporary racism and injustices, while they also rise toward the registers of the ecstatic, the rapturous, and the sacred—urging us toward love as a resistance to everything that impedes it. This magnificent retrospective affirms Smith’s place as one of the twenty-first century’s most treasured poets.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWill Lyza’s 1968 summer mystery lead to . . . pirate treasure? When Lyza helps her dad clean out her late grandfather’s house, a mysterious surprise brightens the sad task. In Gramps’s dusty attic, Lyza discovers three maps, carefully folded and stacked, bound by a single rubber band. On top, an envelope says “For Lyza ONLY.” What could this possibly be? It takes the help of her two best friends, Malcolm and Carolann, to figure out that the maps reveal three possible spots in their own New Jersey town where Captain Kidd (the Captain Kidd, seventeenth-century pirate) may have buried a treasure. Can three thirteen-year-olds actually conduct a secret treasure hunt? And what will they find? In a tale inspired by a true story of buried treasure, Jen Bryant weaves an emotional and suspenseful novel in poems, all set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War during a pivotal year in U.S. history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen can you tell a book of poems is really working? For me, it's when the poems provide revolutions on themes--like the tiniest clink of a kaleidoscope. Look at how Adam Zhou recognizes what stays with us, how "the landscape will remain sullen / still dressed in a sullen light" and yet the people are always leaving and returning, wounded or memory or truly breathing, even in stillness. Zhou's lyrics are a personal history unfolding before us. In a world where poems can shatter us in the best way, In Taking Apart a Kaleidoscope reminds us that "there's something new if your heart hasn't stopped"--that we must dissect whatever comes up and hold it to light. --Carly Joy Miller In Taking Apart a Kaleidoscope is an arrangement of burning flowers. Adam Zhou has mastered the narrative of displacement. A world where people and objects are cloaked in words with multiple meanings. A house where "locks prefer not to accept keys." Through these poems a young speaker reconciles collisions of language, culture, and family. With great attention to craft, Zhou finds his voice in a fractured world. --"I'll collect the jagged pieces. Put them in a plastic bag." --Robert Carr Adam Zhou, a Chinese national, was born and raised in the Philippines. He won the Kathy Carlson and Emily Stauffer Award from Apogee, and was one of ten Asian American high school writers included in Hyphen magazine's Youth Poetry Folio for National Poetry Month in 2019. He is the founding editor of The McKinley Review, a literary journal based in the international community of the Philippines and focusing on the natural environment. When this collection is launched, Zhou will be a high school senior at the International School Manila.
