edit data

Artist and musician Ron Perovich published his first written collection of poetry in 2022, following a successful run in the obscure world of "Competitive Steampunk Poetry Slams." His work is a reflection of his lifelong interest in history, science, music, and the connection of cultures from all over the world.

As a student of Arabic and Turkish music, his name can also be found attached to several albums of acoustic instrumental music for the American belly dance community, as well as seen at live music performances for that community throughout Texas. ...more

5 Em Dashes out of 5!

If I ever decide to promote one of my silly little books that nobody read, I think I'm going to utilize all these AI scam emails I receive to write the ad copy.

So it would be like, "See what has Thieves-Pretending-to-be-Publishers raving! Read the book that Not-Actual-Person Belly J. Whitten said was a 'witty, perfectly observed take on corporate life' and 'both clever and deeply relatable!'"

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association). Her latest collection, The Missing Museum, is a winner of the 2015 Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize.
