The art of poetry...
"It starts with a vision
A simple thought
And we put onto paper
The things we have sought
We draw out our pains, our thoughts and our fears
But also, some happiness behind all our tears
So go ahead, bleed out in ink as you cry
But you won't be forgotten
For artists never die."

I killed a girl last night. I did it with my bare hands and an old piece of pipe I found lying next to the dumpster. But that's not the part that got me. The part that scared me, the part I can't seem to wrap my head around and still has me reeling, was that when she charged me, her body shifted -- and then she was a wolf. All snapping teeth and extended claws. But by the time I stood over her lifeless body, she was a girl again. That's about the time I went into shock ... And that was the moment he showed up.
Now, all I can do is accept the truths that are staring me in the face. One, Werewolves do exist. And two, I was born to kill them.

The poems in this book deal with some of the everlasting questions that we all have to face, and they may seem bleak and gloomy to some readers. What are we doing here? What purpose can we find for our lives. Is there any higher meaning that we can understand or is it just the here and now? I won't give you answers, for I have none.

When Molly, 39, gives up her glamorous job in TV travel to become a stay at home mum, she knows it's the best decision she's ever taken. But whilst her old friends think she's 'gone over to the other side' her new contentedly married mum and baby group friends are more than a little wary of her single status.
When an affair breaks out, Molly finds herself at the centre of suspicion for all the wrong reasons. Whilst hoping her baby's father will eventually grow up, as she's had to, it's the sexy French perfumier studying orchids at Kew Gardens who is turning her head. One of the husbands is having an affair very close to home, though, and Molly finds herself playing Cupid to save the marriage of another mum whilst her own love life descends into a freefall of confusion.

My first clue into Rounds’ motivations came with some research into the title. The phrase “bread of tears” is taken from Psalm 80. The verses around it say the following:
How long, Lord God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people? You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful. You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
It was then that I began to understand the subjects of Rounds’ poetry. They are not the subjects of love, objects of affection, or esteemed champions of victory that are the subjects of so many poems before. They are not even the hard-working, salt of the earth people whose praises are sung throughout the verses of Whitman and others like him. In a way, they are not subjects of anything. They are people so defeated by life that they are never mentioned at all.--Patrick Stevens

"Life Reflections" is a group of poems written by 10 year old girl Isha Deshmukh. She lives in Alpharetta, GA. Isha is a 5th grade student.
Isha shares reflective moments of life, her keen observation of nature and things that surround her. These poems with simple worlds and profound meaning seem to flow naturally. They transcend you to a different world.

A chapbook from Nathaniel S. Rounds.
"If the world were a forgotten lunatic asylum, with electro-shock rooms that doubled as greasy diners, on the edge of the universe without much hope except for the ringmaster of the last circus… then Nathaniel S. Rounds would be the historian… this man may even be the ringmaster."

An essay about an art teacher's lasting impact on his students. For more than 40 years I have enjoyed and appreciated art and now that enjoyment and appreciation continues through my daughter. This essay is my way of honoring a teacher that was gifted in listening too and talking with small children. He was a man who had a way of making us all feel like we were little Norman Rockwells.

And Your Dreams Will Be Made into Songs that Sell Burgers and Cars
Nathaniel S. Rounds’ newest chapbook by Fowlpox Press, And Your Dreams Will Be Made into Songs that Sell Burgers and Cars, starts full of the pleasure of watching a story, and its strife, unfold pell-mell as it draws you into the emotional complexity of the poet’s seemingly simple experimental style.
Splicing together sometimes seemingly disconnected people, fractured, Rounds gets everything all mixed up: the poems and their characters are inhabited by a disturbing and representative feature of a world in cages, a world where even a microtone of sorrow or regret are absent and where there is little to no hint of refuge from the quotidian evils of desire inflicted upon us. Rounds piques my curiosity from the start with “Chicken Nugget Cup Cake” and “the morphine working its magic on her broken back”. By the time I get to the lines “Chivalry isn’t dead/It’s just in remission…It’s just a coat we sometimes shed /To avoid the heat,” I believe in the ethos Rounds has created.
I praise Rounds for eschewing convention and for sucking up his “unaccounted sorrow” and having the will to run his own race, giving us all a good run for our money.

Thou art thy lecture’s glass and its words in thee shall thrive!
Beauty, love, flattery, introspection… perfect contents in the perfect form. What else can go better with a lazy summer evening?
We publish this ebook now as a tribute to the great work of Touch Press, released a few weeks ago on the App Store: The Sonnets by William Shakespeare is one of the best iPad applications ever. Besides a perfect technical interaction, the app features stunning perfomances from Sir Patrick Stewart, Kim Cattrall or Stephen Fry. We had hours and hours of quality time with this app, however, it works only on the iPad.
But our ebook is for everybody! As opposed to the iPad application the ePub has a simpler, more straightforward format of Shakespeare’s work.
You can search, make annotations, change the font, sync between devices, bookmark, highlight text, thou name it.
