Authors Blog from Baseline International: Maurice Skillern has created a wonderful mixture of rhythmic verse and free flowing thought with his new book "Messages". It covers subject matter, thoughts, and ideas that far outdistance the status quo, leaving all who have read it pleasantly amazed. "Messages" though, is not just a poetry book but it is truly a marriage of unique thoughts in forms of both rhythmic prose and written word. We at Baseline International were simply astonished by the depth of the piece "Answers for the Children" found within its pages. An early editor's note, we feel closely captures the essence of the book. (Maurice Skillern's poetic prose is unique, and his inspirations come in a very different, very personal way. It shows in his work. This man can WRITE!

Jill Jones About Jill Jones Other writing Links to Jill on the web Jill Jones' books: Flagging Down Time The Book of Possibilities Screens Jets Heaven Broken/Open ... Uncollected poetry "poetry of unsettling mystery and beauty. ... passionate and parodic at once, as cool as all get out." The Australian "Hers is a poetry that crosses poetic margins and borders, not cutting them or transgressing, but building bridges and points of access and communication, forming a whole, prescient and often deeply moving experience." Poetry International Web "... redemptive in an entirely secular way, offering moments of existential clarity in unsentimental material observation. Jones' work is also darkly humorous, cleaving advanced anti-romanticism to poetry's struggle with boundaries between language, self and the world. This makes her work both precisely personal and sharply social" Jacket "her vision is impeccable. Like other contemporary poets liberated from bardic pronouncement, Jones invites the reader to share in the speculative processes of discovery ..."

Home Email Search Author ... Index Page William Wordsworth, the son of an attorney, was born in 1770. After the death of his mother in 1778 and his father in 1783, Wordsworth was sent away to be educated at Hawkshead Grammar School in the Lake District. Wordsworth went to St. John's College Cambridge where he developed radical political views. Influenced by the ideas of William Godwin , Wordsworth was an early supporter of the French Revolution. Wordsworth went on a walking tour of France in 1790 and returned the following year and had an affair with Annette Vallon, the result of which was an illegitimate daughter, Ann Caroline. After the outbreak of war with France in 1793, Wordsworth returned to England. The poem, Guilt and Sorrow reveals that he still held strong views on social justice. He also wrote, Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff (1793), a pamphlet that gave support to the French Revolution. However, after the Reign of Terror (September 1793-July 1794), Wordsworth became disillusioned with radicalism. This was reflected in his verse drama, The Borderers In 1796 Wordsworth set up home at Alfoxden in Somerset with his sister, Dorothy Wordsworth. His friend

d.a.levy home page curated by Ingrid Swanberg, Karl Young, and Karl Kempton As much as levy has been disgracefully ignored since his death, he has had his torch-bearers. Ingrid Swanberg has been one of the most important of them, producing the only easily available print edition of his work in over a decade. In doing so, she carefully and deliberately worked with a book design best suited to library and popular sales to keep key works in circulation, although this has drawn criticism from some purists. It seems unlikely that some Micenas will come forward with the funds for a state of the art Swiss or French collotype edition that only collectors could afford. Outside that range of facsimile, Swanberg's edition remains a model in its own genre. You can order her edition through Ghost Pony Press: you'll find a link to the press at the bottom of this page. Although this project has been in the works for two years and some of the poetry has been at this site for that long, this page went on-line, with total irony intended, on July 4, 1998, in anticipation of an independence day that would include people like d.a.levy. - Karl Young VISUAL POETRY AND BOOK ART Miniatures The Tibetan Stroboscope Paintings (Previously unpublished) posters advertising nothing (Previously unpublished) from The Buddhist 3rd Class Junkmail Oracle Comments on the Acid Landscape LEXICAL POEMS Short Poems: the bells of the Cherokee ponies roses that sitting on a bench near TSQuare Two Love poems from ... to jim lowell's goldfish Longer Workings:

Home Novels Children's Books Poetry ... Contact Latest news . .....October 2010 Thanks for visiting my website.  I hope you find what you are looking for here.  Please consider the environment before printing out any of these pages.  Poetry I have a  small but perfectly formed new poem appearing in a forthcoming anthology called, Red (Peepal Tree 2010 ISBN 9781845231293) .  It rubs shoulders with works by the following illustrious company:  Berndaine Evaristo, Jackie Kay, Lemn Sissay, Moniza Alvi and Debjani Chatterjee, to name a few.  Its a splendid anthology, all 257 pages of it, edited by the formidable professor, critic and sublime poet, Kwame Dawes.  Get hold of a copy from any good bookshop -cheap at £9.99 - or watch out for tour dates. I have recently started writing many more poems, enjoying the process.  I have also been reading 'The Great Modern Poets' - edited by Michael Schmidt.  Its a great intro to modern Western poetry produced by  poets born from 1900 to the present day.  Some of the poets are obviously off their trolley, others teeter on the edge.  Some are ranters, others mystics, some saner than the sanest (finish this line yourself, all BlackAdder fans).  One or two are amazing discoveries - As promised, I'll drop names now: John Ashberry, Adrienne Rich and Frank O'Hara are all worth checking out.  I like how Professor Schmidt in his short intro to each poet explains connections between the poets, even if I don't agree on his assessments of the poets themselves.  When he does not like the poet, it feels like he chooses a rubbish poem or two to make his case!  It's the kind of book that makes you seek out full collections by the poets who particularly glitter. Comes with an audio CD too - thanks KC!
