Bowie's Not Dead Yet is an epic poem inspired by the life and death of David Bowie. It takes place in four different settings: The speaker's past and present, Germany, and on a planet called Heart-- a science-fiction dystopian noir ala Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Come, enter your own building of Truth...
She Muses is a fearless and fascinating look from Danielle Sainte-Marie--as is her style--at the world we are on, and the cosmos around us. She explores a wide range of topics, from killing god to falling in love--with even a recipe or two thrown in for good measure! This book is a joyous read, but also a difficult one for the weak minded. So, if you are weak-minded, BUY IT and grow! If you are strong and open-minded, buy it and enjoy the deep, philosophical thoughts presented.
In An Open Book is a Mind about to Soar, Danielle Sainte-Marie offers up poetry and short stories for young adults, primarily ages 8-13. Sharing this book with your loved ones is a great way to introduce them to complex phrasing, challenging words, and metaphorical ideas. This book teaches: 1. The importance of finding your talents and interests and pursuing them. 2. Learning to see life with a renewed interest and wonder. 3. Celebrating love and acknowledging the feelings of one's first teenage 'crush.' 4. How to utilize perspective to see any situation as you wish. 5. The importance of having fun and being a bit silly at times. This is reflected in a 'nonsense' poem I included. 6. The big question of death is dealt with; the book teaches that without death there is no life, and that we are all part of one big ecosystem, and so, it is what it is and we must go on--hopefully, with a smile.
What is the silent syllable? The silent syllable is the silence that allows each new letter, word, or sentence to come into being. It is the invisible support to the visible world. In Buddhism, the monks that chant ""Aum"" recognize the silence at the end as a necessary part of the word, or chant, to bring about the next Aum. The silence is integral, and thus, part of the word. It is just hidden to those uninitiated in such Oriental philosophies. This book of poetry seeks to find the hidden things in our lives that often go unrepresented or unnoticed, and to initiate the reader into them. And then, hopefully, the reader will find that hidden place within that supports all that they truly are, and all they have ever been.

A Glimpse to Open spans 33 years of poetry in the life of American (but Norman-French by lineage), lesbian poetess and writer Danielle Sainte-Marie. It is a book meant to help open a reader to what it is like to live poetically; it is a glimpse of actively seeking and/or serendipitously finding, the mystical experience of being human. Filled with poetry, quotes she has written throughout her amazing life and even an essay on what poetry means to her, A Glimpse to Open is truly a book worth living with for many, many years.As she once remarked, "When one has mystical experience, one no longer needs faith in the mystical.
Delving into her traumatic past with intense, thoughtful, free-ranging and sometimes classic, poetic verse, Danielle Sainte-Marie lays bare the deepest, darkest parts of her soul in this timeless collection that, she says, is "Just the tip of the iceberg of my pain...there's a lot more to come." If you are queasy, easily offended, or not ready to face your own fears and traumas, do not buy this poetry book! It is only intended for a select crowd of those rare few whom embrace the dark in order to bask in the light. ""Feelings unexplored and unexpressed largely create your viewpoint of the world; if you are not keeping your feelings current by expressing them when they arise, then that means you are never living in the moment. Rather, you are living in a world where your feelings are always trying to catch up to your current reality; thus, you live in past hurts that were not revealed in a timely manner.
M.E.M.B.E.R.S. BOOK ONE is part of a trilogy that is a tale billions of years in the making. It tells the story of a young teen named Daniel, who is just waking up to the idea that he is different from the rest of humanity. He has a strange power involving numbers, and is taller than nearly all his age. His background is mysterious, as he was adopted as a youth, and does not know who his biological parents were. One day, he finds some madman is targeting his best friend for murder, and later that same madman shows up at his home, heading straight for his parents' door. Then, the book takes you back before time, in a place where angels were known only as Ideas. There is a mutiny about to happen, somewhere, nowhere, anywhere, and those Ideas who take part will be forever known as Fallen Ideas. A war will be set in place, and it will determine the fate of the entire universe.

Lake Superior, the north country, the great fresh-water expanse. Frigid. Lethal. Wildly beautiful. The Long-Shining Waters gives us three stories whose characters are separated by centuries and circumstance, yet connected across time by a shared geography. In 1622, Grey Rabbit--an Ojibwe woman, a mother and wife--struggles to understand a dream-life that has taken on fearful dimensions. As she and her family confront the hardship of living near the "big water," her psyche and her world edge toward irreversible change. In 1902, Berit and Gunnar, a Norwegian fishing couple, also live on the lake. Berit is unable to conceive, and the lake anchors her isolated life, testing the limits of her endurance and spirit. And in 2000, when Nora, a seasoned bar owner, loses her job and is faced with an open-ended future, she is drawn reluctantly into a road trip around the great lake. As these narratives unfold and overlap with the mesmerizing rhythm of waves, a fourth mysterious character gradually comes into stark relief. Rich in historical detail, and universal in its exploration of the human desire for meaning when faced with uncertainty, The Long-Shining Waters is an unforgettable and singular debut.
