Stephen Page in Mad, Mad Swirl

Stephen Page and a select number of writers included included in The Best of Mad Swirl 2023:

Reading

Pages of the books I once read,

Yellow and crumble as I turn them.

They once smelled of inked forests.

Now they rank of mildewed towels 

On a dirty basement floor.

Books spill off my bookshelves

Disintegrating as the hit the wood floor.

I pick up my electronic reader,

Push the on button, swipe the page,

Read a book on a non-glare screen.

This light, thin, 6 inch by 4 inch

Rechargeable device holds as many 

Of the tons of paperbacks and hardcovered 

Worlds that line my four office walls,

And I wonder,

                        When will the grid go down,

And how many years,

                                    As opposed to decades,

                                                                          Will the digits

Become outdate ones and zeros,

                                                    Unreadable

Toxic chemicals

                           Polluting

                                          Dry riverbeds

And earth

                 Scorched?

Blues, Prayers & Pagan Chants by Diane Sahms.

What others say about Blues, Prayers & Pagan Chants:  

Diane Sahms’ Blues, Prayers & Pagan Chants provides an intricate and poignant experience with insight and connection to the world around us and the worlds within us. Sahms writes with the beauty of Kingfisher-wings, delicate, yet profoundly strong. Sahms’ poems and observations of birds are truly enlightening and captivating in their passion and clarity, such poems nest in the mind for a long time afterwards. The pictures she creates are alive, they are moving within the images of the words. Love is also ever present throughout Sahms’ poetry and she calmly reflects and retraces love’s many strands in moving portraits of friends and family. She writes with a courage and an energy that becomes compelling for the reader. A poet who can write the line, “You are as forgotten as wedding rice” is a poet that needs to be read and embraced.

—John D Robinson, Poet & Publisher, Holy & Intoxicated Publications.

If it’s true that the only way to make it through all this is music, then Diane Sahms has found the key. In form and style, the poems in her new collection are a symphony. Sahms’ voice is the conductor. These poems are nothing less than intensely observed and explored from within, with the right amount of rhyme and reason to keep us listening. 

—Douglas Cole, The Gold Tooth in The Crooked Smile of God & The Blue Island.

Winner of the American Fiction Award for The White Field. 

Diane Sahms’ new work Blues, Prayers & Pagan Chants is both, poetic time capsule and hour glass. Sahms’ poetry, along with her rhythmical lyric gift for heightened imagery is proficient at capturing the essence of each character, feeling, or environment that she uncovers for her readers. Sahms’ poetry encapsulates the manner, mode, and visage of tangibles like nature, animals, and human interaction with the same kind of precision and lexical command of lyrical and rhythmic descriptors that ultimately mirrors the very essence of each subject undertaken. Blues, Prayers & Pagan Chants by Diane Sahms is a portal to a special place and a way of looking at life that we all need to have access to. 

—Dr. Kimmika L. H. Williams-Witherspoon, Professor, Urban Theater & Community Engagement. Temple University.

Glint-Down the Shore Poems by g emil reutter

Moonstone Press has just released, Glint-Down the Shore Poems by g emil reutter

You can find the book here: https://moonstone-arts-center.square.site/product/reutter-g-emil-glint/463

The poems centered on Cape May capture the magic of the town, the sand, the sky, the history and the peacefulness away from the bustling tourist areas. The poems paint a word picture of what makes us love our Cape Island and surrounding shore towns.

–         Jack Fichter- Cape May Star and Wave

reutter captured our honky tonk boardwalk and town!

–         Dorothy Kulisek – The Sun by The Sea (Wildwood)

reutter’s words capture my favorite places, the furthest points of Long Beach Island. These places walked, visited, and remembered by so many are now set forth in timeless poetry for all who love both ends of this 18-mile barrier island.

–         Cheryl Kirby – Echoes of LBI
