Bones is a treasure of a poetry book, a journey of discovery, recovery and profound awareness. Packed with wisdom gained during recovery from deep loss, and a sprinkling of whimsical words, it follows a definite sequence, like the vertebrae of Voski's spine. Opened at random, each poem can be read, enjoyed and pondered alone. However, when read in succession, a quest of realisation and enlightenment will open before you. Voski's love of beautiful words and phrasing shines through, in this delightful jewel. This is the second edition of "Bones". The second edition is a revised version of "Bones", which was originally published in 2019. It has been published as a second edition to include a more reflective lens on one of Voski's most challenging points in her life, after years of its original release. It includes some new poems, as well as an epilogue which provides some insight of the way Voski healed, and viewed her experience, with different perspective. All the while, remaining true to its authenticity.

What does AI know about love, happiness and making a difference? Aum Golly is a book of poems written in 24 hours. It was made possible by GPT-3 - an advanced autoregressive language model published in 2020 by OpenAI. "... a collection that surprises with humor and delicateness..." - Goodreads review "... I have to say reading it was a pleasure..." - Finnish radio host Ruben Stiller on Yle "... a beautiful dialogue between man and machine..." - a review of the Finnish audiobook The deep learning model can generate text that is virtually indistinguishable from text written by humans: poems, recipes, summaries, legal text and even pieces of code. GPT-3 is autofill on steroids. Good poetry makes us feel something and see the world differently. Despite the gut reaction some of us may have towards AI-enhanced creativity, Aum Golly is a book like any other. You will love some of the poems. You will hate others. Some will make you wonder, but all of them will make you think. Award-winning writer and TEDx speaker Jukka Aalho has guided the AI and chosen the poems for the collection.

The "World" in Robert Lee Brewer's Solving the World's Problems is a slippery world ... where chaos always hovers near, where we are (and should be) "splashing around in dark puddles." And one feels a bit dizzy reading these poems because (while always clear, always full of meaning) they come at reality slantwise so that nothing is quite the same and the reader comes away with a new way of looking at the ordinary objects and events of life. The poems are brim-full of surprises and delights, twists in the language, double-meanings of words, leaps of thought and imagination, interesting line-breaks. There are love and relationship poems, dream poems, poems of life in the modern world. And always the sense (as he writes) of "pulling the world closer to me/leaves falling to the ground/ birds flying south." I read these once, twice with great enjoyment. I will go back to them often. -Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Then, Something

Poetry by alan taylor, Tasmanian poet and artist

In AFTER I STOP LYING, women confront the mundane and strive for the sacred. One lonely student reaches out to touch a statue of Jesus. A new mother sees, for the first time, the beauty in the overhead lights of a grocery store. A sexual adventurer claims her dance with Apollo. Bacharach takes on pivotal moments in a woman's life-trying to conceive, leaving a child at day care, considering breast cancer-and does so with honesty, clarity, and intensity.

An award-winning poet and anthologist provides a versatile guide for young readers and offers concrete advice that will help them express themselves through poetry.
