This second book of English Poems by Fabrizio Frosini, comes two years after his first, 'The Chinese Gardens', and it stands as the continuation of Frosini's philosophical and existential path, in his being an outstanding poet and a sensitive and committed human being. And indeed, in Frosini's Poetry "the Personal becomes the Universal."Although most of Frosini's poetic production (over 2,000 high quality poems published) is expressed in his native language, Italian, these English poems -as well as the ones belonging in 'The Chinese Gardens'- show the best of Frosini's poetic mind. Here is a book that is worth reading.

Tunes from the Indian Subcontinent

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Fabrizio Frosini

Is poetry a mere pleasurable pastime, residing on the poets' realms of dream only? Perhaps not.When Fabrizio Frosini, Italian poet and publisher, first thought of writing a book against terrorism, in the aftermath of the bloody terrorist attack in Paris on 13th Nov 2015, he invited many poets to lend their voices against the bloody scourge of terrorism. Sixty-four poets from forty-two countries, worldwide, were united irrespective of their diverse religion, race or creed and wrote poems for the Anthology, 'Poetry Against Terror'.With that book, Fabrizio Frosini brought about a mini revolution of sort in our poetry world, and since then a broad group of poets has been formed under his initiative: the open association, 'Poets Unite Worldwide', is today a vibrant reality. This book, 'Tunes from the Indian Subcontinent', is the latest in a long list, and it collects some of the best poems of poets from six out of the seven countries of this huge region (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh).Among the different themes and issues you can found here (: from the plight of the refugees to democracy, inequality and women's status, from climate change to the Arts, from the lovers' feelings to the love for Nature,...), I've chosen just a few lines to let you catch a glimpse of this poetry book:~ "The pure grief hitting the earth like broken glass stabbing God's chest." Ammar Butt writes, then adding: "Every poem I ever wrote is trying to get closer to the people I have lost." ~~ "She can fill a glass of salty tears, / To quench your thirst. / She carries your flesh in her womb, / Yet you blame it to be someone else's." is the opening of Asavri Dhillon's poem; ~~ "She smiled, yes, since she loved, forever, unconditionally; / She suffered at his hands, brutally, and still she smiled at him. / Mona Lisa! She no longer is an artifact confined within walls." is Manu Mangattu's song... ~~ "But inside she is like a ballerina with a / Broken toe, in an opaque glass globe, / Where charcoal snow falls and freezes her heart," the hidden reality of a poor girl, revealed by Soren Mondal's verses. ~Apart from its literary value, this is a book of much social significance and it should be read not only by poetry lovers, but also by teachers, administrators, professionals, politicians, and the common people alike --You have to read the book to find out its real worth.(Bharati Nayak, Bhubaneswar, India)

I leave Frosini's poetic space not with a definition in mind but an experience in my heart. That to me is one of the highest gifts a poet can give to his reader." - "Lascio questo spazio poetico di Frosini non con una definizione in mente ma con un'esperienza nel cuore: cosa che per me è uno dei più grandi doni che un poeta possa fare al suo lettore." Daniel Brick ***"Fabrizio Frosini appears to be in the world of words like a wine connoisseur: he tastes the poem, the appearance, the aroma, the sensation while tasted, the after-taste. These stages of reading poetry are combined in order to establish its properties: complexity and character, potential for ageing, possible faults. Poems as wines are better tasted in solitude. Vivat, crescat, floreat!" - "Fabrizio Frosini sembra muoversi nel mondo della parola come un intenditore di vino: assapora la poesia, l'aspetto, l'aroma, il sentimento, il retrogusto. Queste fasi di degustazione poetica sono combinate per determinarne le proprietà complessità e carattere, potenziale di invecchiamento, possibili difetti. Le Poesie, come i vini, si degustano meglio in solitudine. Vivat, crescat, floreat!" (Magdalena Biela)

At the Crossing of Seven Winds: L.Ayliffe D.J.Brick F.Frosini D.Hine G.Italyanskaya M.Menon A.Sze

By: Daniel J. Brick,Leah Ayliffe,Diane Hine

«Nature is wild and eagles and wolves will never be lovers. But certainly Poetry can overcome every obstacle and translates our dreams, desires, passions,.. in images that evoke even a new, different Universe» ~ «It fulfills the very nature of poetry that we 7 poets publish our poems in a common anthology and witness how these diverse poems reflect each other, relate to each other, amplify each other »~ This Anthology of Poetry collects 72 poems from 7 Authors living in 7 different Countries of the World. ~ As Fabrizio Frosini puts it: «When I first proposed this idea for a book to my Minnesotan friend Daniel Brick, we decided together to open it to other "voices of poetry" from different parts of our troubled world. Maybe we put it a bit too emphatically, like "voices of poetry conveying the joy of creativity," to point out the real issues of human passions mediated through poetry. Yet, Poetry is a sum of hope and despair. It is a sum of wishes, hopes, dreams, inspirations, wanderings on the wings of Imagination. It is a long flight our hearts and minds took, revisiting reality, memories, expectations. Life itself is revisited through the multicolored glasses of poetry. As Dylan Thomas wrote: "These poems, with all their crudities, doubts, and confusions, are written for the love of Man" and, I add, they are written out of the joy of creativity, even when created in the darkest moments of despairing depression. Everyone who reads our poetry enters our own Universe -even if for a while. Through Poetry, we all -Authors and Readers- are in touch.»

The Sounds of America

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Fabrizio Frosini

Poems by thirty-two North-American poets, on any theme they wanted.Thirty-two... one poem... A good number. With that many there was sure to be variety. But at the leisurely pace of one poem a day, one could read them in about a month--which wouldn't be daunting or overwhelming.North-American... on any theme... From all over North America. What would be on their hearts? What their concerns? If one reads as a world citizen and/or as an ethnologist, this would be interesting stuff.If one is a reader of poems or a reader in general and/or just plain curious, this would provide a manageable mental or spiritual landscape to explore. These poems are accessible to everyone. If you've lived, if you're aware, if you have a reasonable vocabulary in English, the curtains of these poems are open. You can walk right in. And so we present to you our book 'The Sounds of America'. [Glen Kappy]

Essays on the World of Humans: F. Frosini & D.J. Brick

By: Daniel J. Brick,Fabrizio Frosini

Many years ago, in a poetry class for beginners, I read one of my early efforts which contained the following three lines: "A young poet drops his pen, astonished / by the twenty lines he has just written, / certain it is the Poem of Total Realization." The teacher smiled and said, "I remember thinking I had written that poem when I was sixteen." What we learn from writing poems over a long expanse of time is that each one takes further along the path of our daily life, leading eventually to whatever fulfills our existence. Each poem illuminates for its moment the darkness surrounding us, and in that light we can see the World in its glory or, sadly, in its degradation. Finally, we will carry within, not only the poem as a piece of literature but also the emotional growth it promotes. [DJ Brick] ***Nature is wild and eagles and wolves will never be lovers. But certainly Poetry can overcome every obstacle and translates our dreams, desires, passions.. in images that evoke even a new, different Universe. Furthermore, Poetry is such a powerful tool: violence can kill, of course, but Words are stronger. Thus, Ideals/Values will be the final winner, because they can speak directly to hearts and minds - and touching them deeply, they can profoundly change a human being - Even the whole Humankind [F. Frosini] ***In the arts repetition is the path of mastery. John Gielgud is said to have performed the role of Hamlet more than any actor in history. Only his innate modesty and respect for Shakespeare's genius kept him from claiming he had mastered the role. Those who witnessed his stage performances several times readily called him the master. A pianist of the caliber of Glenn Gould achieves greatness by rehearsing 'The Goldberg Variations' over and over, performing them again and again, continually discovering new details for each new performance. And the venerable Robert Frost was still reciting from memory poems he had written just before World War I in the 1960s and still charming audiences who knew them almost as well as he did. [DJ Brick] ***Stating that our human nature is evil, would not be acceptable at all. Yet, it is beyond doubt that we humans are capable of behaving much and much worse than the most ferocious beasts, when our mental inhibitory-control fails to curb the worst and most pressing impulses. Nowadays, the rise of mass media has changed the way societies think and, unfortunately, exploiting mass psychology has become a lucrative affair for many. Politicians and CEOs of large corporations, in particular, know very well how to manipulate the masses, and in doing so, they can profoundly change our societies --our lives. Above all, through an increase in social inequality. And failing to deal with inequalities only leads to a rise of political extremes. [F. Frosini]

Hues of the World

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Fabrizio Frosini

Hues of the World' offers a range of voices as wide as the world itself: indeed, from the Far East to the Middle East, and from Central and South America to Australia, 14 countries are represented in this Anthology, that collects poems by 36 poets.This collection is also as multiform and varied as it is in the poets' nationalities, offering a beautiful combination of reality and 'inner truth', through each poet's colorful imaginative grasp of the human soul.This way, 'Hues of the World' is a book that provides much food for thought.The feelings that come from being part of this poetic adventure is well described by the following words:«When I sit alone in my apartment, I know I am not alone. I am a multitude! And that's like being in a living poem, not composed by me, but composed of me and all the others.» [Daniel J. Brick]They represent a concise preface to all six books of the series 'Contemporary Poetry'.

A Season for Everyone: Tanka Poetry

By: Fabrizio Frosini

In AD 905, the standard poetic diction for the "perfect waka" was established, with the rule of 31 sound units in the pattern 5-7-5-7-7. Since then, although tanka poetry has evolved over the centuries, its form hasn't changed.This collection of tanka by Fabrizio Frosini, although written in English, possess all the charm of the ancient Japanese waka poetry: in them you can savor the aesthetic principles of 'sabi' (the melancholic sense of beauty), or enjoy the feeling of 'yūgen' (mysterious depth), while the pathos of things ('mono no aware') encircles you, offering your thoughts depth of feeling ('ushin') and awareness of time and space. But let the poems speak for themselves...Enjoy the reading.

Singing Together

Poems for Christmas - Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Fabrizio Frosini

When I think of Christmas my thoughts often turn to a painting called "The Nativity" by the great Tuscan artist Piero della Francesca which fortunately we have in our National Gallery in London. The feelings of solemn serenity and peace which it evokes by its subdued, marmoreal tones enable us to experience the pure light of rebirth. Leonardo's "The Virgin of the Rocks" uses dark shadows but is also incredibly beautiful. When we recall that this area of Central Italy produced Dante and Michelangelo, perhaps the soil there is particularly fertile. Or it could be the wine! You'd better ask Fabrizio Frosini, a very fine poet in both Italian and English for his view on that, as he too hails from Tuscany!The desire for peace and the rebirth of childhood memories feature in many poems in this collection. There are also many expressions of joy, as indulgent parents share the excitement of the day with boisterous children busily unwrapping presents below the Christmas tree. In recalling her visit with her father to the "Wassail Bowl", Marianne Larsen Reninger, brings out in fine detail a beautiful childhood memory. She also gets a plus from me for mentioning my favourite carol, Silent Night! In another fine poem Margaret O'Driscoll expresses the joy of Christmas Night.The contributions come from thirty-one Countries right round the World and the range of ideas and images sparkles like a box of brightly coloured jewels. I think each contributor has important things to say about Christmas and there is much to admire in the contrasts of styles and the personal views of the season. I hope contributors will not be offended if I do not mention their poem specifically but I can assure everyone each poem had its own sparkle. So I hope you will forgive me for indulging in my own personal tastes.Sometimes it is a line that catches my eye. Bharati Nayak's line "Light candles of beautiful smiles" moved me. There is also a line in Anitah Muwanguzi's poem "love falls softly hard": History reborn and given a new name..Sometimes a whole poem enchants me as Valsa George's "A Christmas Song", Karen Edwards' "Sacred Season" and Judith Blatherwick's "The Christmas Flight". Also, as some of my friends on Poem Hunter will know, I love humour and it is an essential ingredient of Christmas. Two very funny poems come from the same family, mother and son. Pamela Sinicrope made me laugh with her line "as the kids look on in horror" referring to parents' dancing talents. I'm sure Pam didn't mean herself as, judging by the beautiful rhythm of her verse, she is probably a very good dancer! In any event it is the solemn duty of parents to embarrass their offspring on these festive occasions. Most remarkable is the poem her fifteen year old son, Stephen submitted. One-liners such as "stringing up the slaughtered pine" and "withering wax wafts sweet as wine" show great promise but the two lines which really creased me with laughter were: "The girls start to smooth their skirts / To hide their forked tails." Stephen is clearly a rising star! Often Christmas takes a great deal of worthwhile preparation. This is perhaps exemplified best by Barry Middleton in his excellent poem, "Cedar Tree Christmas". That "joy is something to be earned" as he and his friends did in obtaining their "priceless Christmas tree."Of course, for some Christmas can be a time of sadness, remembering departed relatives and friends but , even here, there is a determination to enjoy the day for the sake of lost ones. Christmas is a time for reflection and it would be well to remember previous occasions when those who are now missing contributed so much to the family's enjoyment.I am sure we would all like to thank Fabrizio for giving us this opportunity to submit our poems in this collection. Having read every poem, I believe he has created a book to treasure. Well done, everyone, and I hope that all your special dreams come true. Merry Christmas!Tom Billsborough, England

About Abel & Cain

Or the Best & Worst of Human Society

By: Poets Unite Worldwide,Fabrizio Frosini

Good and Evil are very hard to define, and my fellow contributors to this collection have examined other aspects and sources of the subject to create a lively debate by their poems. I believe this to be an important topic at this time as the growth of irrational bigotry has become alarming in recent years, even in my own country [England], and the voice of reason and understanding needs to be heard. This is a challenging topic and I thank my friend and co-editor, Fabrizio Frosini, for giving us this opportunity to express our views. The result is fascinating in depth and diversity.

Summer Arias

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Fabrizio Frosini

Sumer is icumen in, lhude sing cuccu..."'Summer is a coming in, loudly sing cuckoo.'This is possibly the oldest round song in English and I thought it appropriate to introduce this volume of verse. Summer means many different things around the World: I would say that Spring is the lamb but Summer can be the tiger.One of poem describes the tropical storms which afflict her native city of Lagos in Nigeria, in which she compares the tension arising from flood waters to the stretching surface of a helium filled balloon.The sheer joy of Summer is often in these poems a recall of childhood memories...Others remember the intensity of a starry sky on clear nights and the bright flickering of the fireflies in the bushes... or the warm air, cool lemonade and ripe strawberries (much to my taste, I might add, particularly the strawberries which, in my opinion, should be consumed with mountains of Ice-cream) ... From my own perspective the garden is just putting on its Summer coat of many colours.. the purple Clematis, the red roses, the whites of the elder and bramble blossoms, the yellow flag irises, giving a gradual feeling of warmth.So I see Summer as the Season of movement --in musical terms the Allegro to the Spring's adagio-- and this feeling is expressed in the many excellent poems in this volume.Therefore I invite you, the reader, to share these experiences.

Whispering to the Heart - Contemporary African Poetry

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Fabrizio Frosini

The rhythms of Africa abound in this volume. Through the dances and chants, masqueraders in African garb, who dance for children and engage them through encounters that the children will remember long after the performance. This is depicted in poems like 'The Dance of The Calabar Masquerade,' by Birgitta Abimbola Heikka. The writing in this poem resembles the sounds of the beck and call performances in traditional songs. It is singing that the audience joins in a repetitive recital of the repeated, 'iyo.' This reminds us that African oral poetry is not written for one person, but that it is a holistic experience of the group, invoked through the poet's call to 'come and dance.'In this anthology, we see the indomitable spirit of people who live through difficult situations: the perseverance of the human spirit, as observed by poets, teaching us that lives are lived with meaning even in the most difficult situations, where powerful forces inflict harm endlessly. When victory comes, it is well deserved. (Sarah Mkhonza)"Nisaidie kumi nikule sapa" [bless me with 10 shillings for my supper], is the opening verse in Aaron Njoroge Wambu's 'Pangani Round About', whose closing line is a striking: "How many of us are 'rich' enough to give?".This collection of poetic voices from 16 African countries brings us the hues and tones of their soul: through their poetry we can experience the sheer "crystalline source of the Imagination." Here is a book that any reader who loves poetry should not miss.

Spring Songs

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Poets Unite Worldwide,Fabrizio Frosini

These poems are an invitation to let go of the burdened self, and join our poets into the world of effervescent feelings. The perspective on Spring varies from one poem to another. Spring is intensively lived both as an individual experience, and also a collective one. Some poems focus on the harsh treatment people give the Earth, but the fact that Spring never fails to come back, chasing the long and cold winter away, reminds all human beings about the constancy of life and the ability of fulfilling its cyclical renewal. Feelings of relief and joy are abounding through the poems; clusters of snow melting here and there, the freshness of the air, the nature clad in velvet green, the bees and the animals, the birds' songs that animate the scenery, the scent of the flowers that blossom in this particular season, the sunshine that gently pats every life form. Life pulses through each pore. The balance between death and life is restored as the remnants of winter and its dark and gloomy days are replaced with a comforting light and an imperishable craving for cheerfulness, joie de vivre and optimism.In a poem, Spring is likened to a young, beautiful maiden who gracefully walks on the earth, dispersing the morose winter days, reinstalling happiness while nature comes back to life. In other poems, Spring is associated with the loved one, either present or projected in a fantasy world. The contemplation of Spring is regarded as an opportunity to assort the sentiments and the changes that take place in the outside world.Reading some of the poems, you can overcome the blurred line between reality and dreams..like a sudden, passionate dialogue between two lovers where the season becomes a reference point, being used in order to express one's love and tenderness; while others depict in vintage hues a story of longing, with an emphasis on the shattered heart and pleas for the lover's return that echo through the entire poem. There are also poems that remind the reader of one of the most beautiful and adventurous stages of life, namely the childhood. Other poems are focused on the role of words and language in recreating all these changes that occur in nature once this long awaited season is installed. Spring also becomes synonymous with tough life lessons, experienced in a Soviet gulag: a strong evocation of unyielding personal values such as dignity and strength to find hope in the most troubled times for an upcoming liberation.The poems that are included in this anthology are original, and each can be viewed as an ode or a tribute to one of the most spectacular seasons: the season of rebirth.

Poetic Fantasies

Volume 4.

By: Poets Unite Worldwide,Fabrizio Frosini

A distinctive feature of this 4th book of the 'Poetic Fantasies' series is its thematic diversity: it is a sort of 'zibaldone' of thoughts and feelings, made up of 3 different sections -poems written for the occasion, translations from Urdu of ancient ghazals, and a short story. "Love & Passion", a theme most explored and widely popular, rightfully finds a place in this anthology; as well as a "contemplation of Life" in its contradictory and even painful aspects.It is an exploration of themes such as freedom and religion, the origin of life and the refusal to accept "old age"; which, together with the concept of "eternal life", reverberates in the classic theme of "life & death", and opens up to the psychological-philosophical theme of "emptiness".Even Nature and the passing of the seasons are described by the various poets with different colors, flows and rhythms, but all paint images that evoke vibrant emotions and deep feelings.Overall, this anthology contains the essential features of good literature. Don't miss out!

When Love Is Bitter

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Poets Unite Worldwide,Fabrizio Frosini

All of us have a past love --one that turned out to be bad, or a "lost love" because of a mistake we did, or even because of tragic events--, but a love that still reverberates in our memories... and this book offers us a chance to live again, in our mind, those past moments.Being in love is a great experience, but love can change from a wonderful condition that promotes mutual happiness to a deplorable one that results in mutual unhappiness... From despair to forgiveness, we'll find a wide range of feelings, in these poems... Enjoy the reading!

From an Old Path

Poets Unite Worldwide: Contemporary European Poetry

By: Fabrizio Frosini

« When I sit alone in my apartment, I know I am not alone. I am a multitude! And that's like being in a living poem, not composed by me, but composed of me and all the others.» (Daniel Brick)Daniel Brick's words express wonderfully the feeling that comes from being part of this "poetic adventure", while Agatha-Eliza Laposi, in her introduction to this book, invites the readers to imagine that "the words are the codes that allow you to unlock a chest of wonders" --this way:Through poetry, bridges are laid over any kind of obstacles, the nature bows in reverence, all the hearts lay open, mesmerized by each verse, until the last ones are read aloud; thus the whole spectacle of discovery, or even self-discovery, unravels before you."From an Old Path - Contemporary European Poetry", contains selected poems written by poets from many countries of the 'Old Europe': poets united in a choral song, through their love for poetry and for humankind.The poems are genuine slices of everyday life, represented by their authors in all their hues and shades, in the light but also in darkness, like facets of a many-sided prism, in a three-dimensional projection. The perspective over each poem is a personal one, imbued with the spirit, the beauty and the sincerity of the country where the poet resides, outlining its authenticity. The range of topics is overwhelmingly diverse, and this is also an element that turns the whole reading into an interesting experience and, most likely, an educational moment as well.Enjoy the reading.

Evanescence of the Floating World: Haiku

By: Fabrizio Frosini

This collection of 466 English haiku is a poetic life path, where various tales intertwine, in a "one-night-long" life -And indeed you can read all the poems in one night, or (much better) take it more easily, savoring a haiku at a time, in the intimate and comfortable slowness of several evenings... However, this is a book to keep where you can comfortably reach it: as on the bedside table, so that you can read (or reread) some haiku at a time, before a good sleep. I recommend it! [J.S.]*I enjoyed the book, and also enjoyed solving the quiz part! [Liz E. Pearson]

Seasons of the Fleeting World

Writing Haiku

By: Poets Unite Worldwide,Fabrizio Frosini

Very informative and educational." [P.S.S., USA] "Impressive. Thank you so much: it's very very helpful." [M.H.N., India] "A very good haiku book. I had tried haiku before, but through your book I can now understand how far I was from real haiku!" [K.P., UK] ~*~ From Frosini's introduction: "This book comes from a project thought to introduce haiku poetry to a group of poets belonging in the free Association 'Poets Unite Worldwide'. When, many years ago, I "met with haiku poetry", in order to understand the basics, I had to refer to Japanese history and culture, so as to grab a bit of the Japanese mindset. Although a good number of critics argue that English-language haiku is separate from Japanese haiku and its tradition (and some add that haiku is not translatable), I stay with those who consider the value of tradition as the major guiding light on the way of haiku. Yet, this point of view does not mean to deny validity to gendai (modern) haiku, and indeed, many gendai haiku poets do respect tradition even in their being 'modern'. Over 170 are the haiku and senryu of this compilation. In addition, the poets who have submitted their poems for this book have granted me to add (when deemed useful), my own version --that is, how I would write that same haiku. I hope you'll find it helpful.

A Christmas With Us

Poems & Tales For Christmas

By: Poets Unite Worldwide,Fabrizio Frosini

A collection of Christmas poems and stories, the book also contains two contributions on the origin and meaning of Christmas. From a historical point of view, Christmas has its roots in a number of ancient realities: prior to and through the early Christian centuries, winter festivals -especially those centered on the Winter Solstice- were the most popular of the year in many European pagan cultures. A Babylonian religious festival celebrating the birth of a god with yule logs and decorated trees, has also been described. But there is also evidence of historical connections between ancient India and Babylon, supported by some notable similarities between their religions. Anyway, the real theme of this collection is the feeling of belonging to the Human Family, and this book is a further step in a common journey of friendship, peace and poetry May the Christmas Spirit be with All Readers. MERRY CHRISTMAS! * 'Poets Unite Worldwide' (as in the appeal: "poets worldwide, unite!") is a free association of poets from different countries.

56 Female Voices of Poetry

Poets Unite Worldwide

By: Fabrizio Frosini

Fifty-six Female Voices: Contemporary Poetry from Poets Unite Worldwide' has only three things in common. As the title suggests, all these are female artists and all are contemporaries; plus, they belong in the free association 'Poets Unite Worldwide'. Other than that, their countries, their age group, their writing style and their background is as varied as the topics of their poems. These voices represent social and cultural diversity and rich experiences of habitants of more than thirty countries. There was a time when for many of us this kind of collection was out of reach. But thanks to Internet, today with one click of a download we can enjoy here an excellent selection of poems. This contribution to avant-garde movement of international online poetry anthology is significant and enormous. Here in this selection reader will find poems of experienced as well as budding poetesses. [Savita Tyagi] * * * In writing my poem "Stars and Stilettos [it is in 'The Sounds of America - Contemporary American Poetry']," I found a voice emerging from inside of me: How dare an American woman complain she isn't receiving equal rights? Even worse, a middle class white American woman who lives a fairly comfortable existence on a daily basis? But I realized, first of all, that my experience 'as a woman' is different from any man's experience. And this difference, in itself, is a rich story that needs to be shared and understood. I then thought about my own experience as a married woman and the multitude of messages I had received over the course of my life, that once one gets married, the husband is the head of the household, often even when both the man and woman work... Much of poetry discusses this clash and loss of self when a woman is cloaked in her traditional role of wife or mother. But what does it mean, today, even in the US, to be a woman of color or a homosexual or transgender? There are so many ways to categorize 'just a woman' so that others can understand our patchwork of experiences that together form a quilt of contemporary women's poetry. And I can't wait to read them all. [Pamela Sinicrope]
