|  | | Poetry Pages: A Collection of Voices From Around the World Volume II
A people’s heart can be found in their poetic words. In history men and women have stood firmly upon their soapboxes and street corners, rallying the deepest beliefs of people to rise up and be heard. The poetrypages.com has offered that voice a new place to stand and be heard, to share with others our deepest secrets and whispered wants. Combined with their love for verse and their desire to share with others a forgotten art of expression, the members of the poetry pages have come together again. With a few new additions and the same eclectic views of the world, they have brought together a new out look on life.
Continuing their love of the written word, especially the art of poetry, authors from PoetryPages.com offer their second volume of collected poems.

A Collection of Voices from Around the World is more than just a poetry compilation. It is a partnership of poets from around the globe brought together by an internet poetry forum. That forum, poetrypages.com, has been the home of many a fine poet since it was established in 1999.
This collection sets itself apart from those published by other poetry forums in several ways. Perhaps most importantly, it is done by the poets themselves; testament to the kinship that exists there.
Nineteen member poets came together for this first edition. Working together, those poets compiled what they deemed to be the best of their works. The selections vary in subject and style, offering something for virtually every fan of poetry.
Epistolary Garden
Seeds fall from fingertips
in elegant pen strokes, planting
thoughts on cottoned paper
that blossom in our eyes.
Saplings drift beyond each page
taking root in fertile soil.
An epistolary garden grows;
love blooms in scented ink.
-Shannon L. Delsol
Laundry
I washed all my lines today -
Bought a row of old-fashioned
Wire hinged,
Wooden clothes pegs to
Hang my words on,
Strung them,
(still dripping meaning)
Across the border of your mind,
To the boundary of your soul

This book has been eight years in the making. It is mostly a jumble of thoughts written down in old spiral notebooks and hidden in the bottom drawer underneath various manuals for software packages and hardware long since turned obsolete.
I owe the inspiration for compiling all of this into one volume to many people. First of all I would like to thank Rachel for believing in me, Judy for taking Rachel's belief and turning it into an opportunity for a real life, and David for being a kind of "father" to me these past seven years. Alexsya, for staying by my side through thick and thin, good and bad, hideous and beautiful; we are birds of a feather, you and I, now let us fly free. Kate and Ken, for being there when I needed support. Everyone at The Poetry Pages, you are my inspiration, my hope and my will to continue on. Finally, |
