Perpendicular
$6.99 Quick ViewAdd to cartPerpendicular
I must have read somewhere that art equals pain; reworked, revised, improved upon, but pain nonetheless. A means of expressing the anguish and innermost jot or fury of the one so impoverished. The perpetual flowing from a seemingly endless source of pathos.
A relentless well-spring of:
Guile and Guilt
Fervor and Splendor
Tremor and Hope
A truly cleansing and uplifting experience. If poetry can be considered art, then I offer my art for your perusal and publication.$6.99

Future Poets: A Guide For Aspiring Writers
$20.00 Quick ViewAdd to cartFuture Poets: A Guide For Aspiring Writers
This book is for all my fellow teachers out there who enjoy poetry and believe their students will become better writers if they keep practicing. Here are hundreds of ideas to stimulate your student's imaginations; students who are often willing to write, but don't have a clue what to write about. These ideas will give them a place to start.
Poetry works well for engaging student writers because it is challenging and yet flexible. There are so many types and styles of poems they can experience. There's also a lot of leeway in terms of punctuation, idioms and slang, and how the words appear on the page.
Poetry lends itself to success. Anyone can do it and it's personal; it comes from the students' experiences and emotions. It's subjective; the sort of writing to be appreciated rather than judged. The emphasis in this book is "students as poets." It's not about studying the famous poets who have gone before. It's about finding a love for expressing yourself that can last a lifetime.$20.00

New Women Dramatists in America, 1890-1920

This book offers a comprehensive look at the lives of five successful American women playwrights from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, whose works have been largely overlooked and remain underexplored. It broadens our understanding of the opportunities available to female professional writers during this period, specifically within the realm of theater. Engle's work stands out due to her extensive use of primary sources, which enriches her analysis. As noted by Susan Croft, former Senior Curator at the Theater Museum and author of She Also Wrote Plays: An International Guide to Women Playwrights, Engle's study is both clear and engaging. The book is thoroughly researched and well-documented, placing the playwrights' works within the context of early Broadway theater. The author illustrates how these women both met and, in some instances, surpassed the expectations of their audiences, reflecting their significant impact on the dramatic landscape of the time.
