Hating Olivia by Mark SaFranko
"Rating: 2 out of 3 stars

Hating Olivia is not a conventional novel. It's not all wine and roses. It speaks about a period in all of our lives where we think no-one and nothing can touch us. Especially when it comes to relationships. You know, that one" Read more of this review »

“distractions A hornet stings, but does not hurt me Because the beer I am drinking Is man made Well, nature made the hornet And nature made me And we refuse to get along Because I smash him with my shoe, for stinging me And that’s the history of countries made by Man And the history of the world And I am simpleton because I refuse To understand my life Politics and religions cloud me And I am as poor as a hummingbird Only buzzing with sound As the ships of the world crash around me”
Damion Hamilton, The Human Condition: Poems by

“Strange Things       It’s strange the things people say To you The things people do you Which may not have much Significance at the time But on reflection, Days, months, Even years later Have so much significance A strange person coming Into your life at a strange moment Or something good Happening”
Damion Hamilton, Written In Stone

“Lottery Ticket     There’s so much Which goes unheard and unspoken   I watch a woman in a nurse’s uniform Stand in line buying a small stack of lottery tickets   Her voice is tired along with her hair And the back of her scalp   She’s hoping one of those lottery Tickets will serve as a vehicle out Of her job and her life I watch people standing in line Buying those lottery tickets And feel very sad   Waiting”
Damine Hamilton, Internet Poetry

Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

Winston S. Churchill
