Today is National Poetry Day, meaning we get to celebrate all our lovely poets and their heartfelt collections. Whether you like prose, sonnets or haikus, this National Poetry Day, there’ll be a verse for you at Olympia Publishers.
If you’re not one to normally read poetry, then here are three recommendations:
The Things I Have Never Told You by Marianna Dobis
How come these things that are the hardest to tell
be also the most important to let know?
Part one of Marianna Dobis’ two-part unwrapping prose opens Dobis’ private life, sharing her secrets with readers, helping them realise that despite our differences, people are a lot more connected than they may first realise.
“There are some stories that we want to keep for ourselves, like our little magical secrets. But at the same time, we all desperately need to know that we are not the only ones.”
Available in paperback and on the Kindle Store.
Touching Poetry by Cherly Anne Harris
This wise and truthful poem is for all eyes to read and see,
to understand no matter what shape or size we are,
we should all be happy with what we may be
In its purest form, poetry should conjure up raw and unbridled emotions – it should be deeply touching. Cheryl Anne Harris draws upon her memories – her good old days – to create verses that achieve this one goal.
“I honour the finer things in life, the emotional ties, the deeply ingrained memories, as well as dreams, concerns, and fantasies.”
Available in paperback.
Emotions by Craig Harman
How awe-inspiring nature can be
when it decides to wear its best.
For the annual autumnal party
could be no better blessed!
Craig Harman invites readers to dip into this collection or ride the emotional rollercoaster to the very end. Life is about highs and lows, twists and turns, unexpected joy and dreaded despair – with this work, Harman allows readers to experience it all.
“If poetry is all about evoking human emotions, then the twenty-five poems in this collection are each determined to wring one extreme emotion or another out of the reader.”
Available in paperback.
