The Hitler Kiss

A Memoir of Czech Resistance

By: Radomir Luza

This gripping autobiography is at once a heart-pounding adventure story, a moving recollection of a larger-than-life father, and an important account of the Czech resistance. Radomir Luza's father was a revered army general when the Nazis stormed into Czechoslovakia. After his father went underground to avoid arrest and torture, the nineteen-year-old Radomir spent weeks in a Gestapo prison. Upon his release, he joined his father in hiding. General Luza became the military commander of the Czech resistance, while Radomir secretly helped organize the country's largest resistance network. Luza's narrative makes palpable the terror of being constantly hunted and nearly snared by betrayals and Gestapo raids. The Hitler Kiss is a portrait of courage, tenderness, optimism, and sheer survival.

After all, the metaphors mingle, similes stun and alliteration arouses to the point where you realize that this is not your regular Pot of Poetry. This Prayer of a Path to yourself does not go through anyone else. Instead, it veers and careens towards love, romance, religion, psychology, spirituality and pornography. This collection covers the human experience in words that are alive, rich, substantive and true.

Never leading you to purgatory or hell, but always keeping its eye on Heaven, Nirvana and Utopia, COPPER CARNATION Showcases a talented Wordsmith dissecting humanity for the better, while leading you away from self-destruction and towards a more blessed, sacred, holy and meaningful Conversation, Direction and Position. Do not believe the Negative Hysteria that Poetry is Dead. Instead, take into consideration the latest statistics that show the Written and Spoken Word to be making an unbelievably strong comeback to a place of deep admiration and respect among both readers and non-poetry lovers. Therefore, the plethora of poetry you get in this Collection will meet your every Aspiration and Need for Substantive Art and a Journey to the Soul. Enjoy with an Ounce of Pixie Dust!!

The Hitler Kiss

A Memoir of Czech Resistance

By: Radomir Luza

Luza's narrative gives a panoramic picture of the resistance and makes palpable the terror of living in attics, sheds, and holes dug in the woods, constantly hunted and nearly snared by betrayals and Gestapo raids. In courageously intimate terms, he reflects on his relationship with his stern father - whom Luza worshipped from afar until sharing rat-infested barns brought the consummate general and intellectual son closer together."--Cover

Eros of Angels

By: Radomir Vojtech Luza

Imagine a city that breaks you as it makes you. A town whose screeching premise you understand but cannot stomach. A mecca that has brought you from humility, hunger, and white coats prescribing pink pills behind locked and guarded doors to every dream you have ever wanted in nine short years. I give you Los Angeles and Eros of Angels. This 350-page collection of poetry and prose touches on philosophy, theology, metaphysics, science, and God. It attempts to answer the question, why are we here? In metaphor, syntax and syllable without hiding behind clichs, corny quandaries, or curious canons. This tome is a breakthrough for Luza, who writes in a more down-to-earth, relaxed, and modest style than in 2014s New York Nadir, for example. Eros of Angels then is the collection of a lifetime so far for a naturally gifted poet who has learned by overcoming hurdle after hurdle that now is the key to then.

Nursing Home Blues

A Collection of Poetry

By: Radomir Vojtech Luza

This light, this sword, this sabre, this Great White Shark, this grand collection of poetry, then, eats its way through any hole or depression. It is the sun to the disappearing moon, Jupiter to Mars, living in paradise not behind bars. Written in and around Grand Valley Healthcare Center, the nursing home in Van Nuys, CA where Luza has spent the last ten or so months, this landmark autobiographical poetry collection embraces the pain, suffering, frustration, longing and suicidal tendencies that come with a true artist's imprisonment in one of these facilities. So, freedom chained, love aborted and harmony molested, here he is swinging for any fence he can find. If the questions are: Why is human kind on earth? Where did we come from? What does it mean to be human? Then, NURSING HOME BLUES has the answers spiritually, philosophically, metaphysically, emotionally, intellectually and psychologically. Tomorrow is a blue dawn, yesterday a red maple and today a green meadow. This tome is a buffet for poets and a cornucopia for writers and thinkers alike. Do not put it down!!

Onyx Rose

A Collection of Poetry and Prose

By: Radomir Vojtech Luza

Onyx Rose Onyx Rose bathes in imagery, passion, and beauty that changes lives. The metaphors and similes are unique and rare. Breathing rarefied air, this collection motivates you to think while acting and weep while laughing. The philosophy and metaphysics are complicated yet simple, swaying reason and underscoring logic. This verse is humanity squared. It gazes into God's stained glass eyeballs while searching for the human heartbeat and soul hymn. As the son of two Czech WWII heroes, Radomir Vojtech Luza understands patriotism, love of politics, labor, and art. He lives to write poetry. There is nothing else he would rather be doing. He sings the body poetic. His passion for the written and spoken word has turned him into the prolific, award-winning poet he is. The thirty-one books (twenty-seven collections of poetry) this poet laureate and Pushcart Prize nominee has written, prove that he is prepared and equipped philosophically, intellectually, and metaphysically to pen a poetic tome of this depth, clarity, and resonance. Onyx Rose is substantive and wild. It touches on America today, crazy and curious. The poetry is raw, naked, profound, and deeply specific, molesting myths and raping riverbeds of retreat. This collection opens doors that were previously closed shut, putting it back in the high life again. Onyx Rose lets love lead the way, for better or worse, displaying an original and uncommon style aimed at verse true, tender and timeless. This is a lion looking for red meat, a shark crushing thigh and bone, oh, so sweet. Radomir Vojtech Luza--April 25, 2020

New York Nadir

A Collection of Poetry

By: Radomir Vojtech Luza

It was 2005. I was living in the New York City area. My marriage was crumbling. I was seeing a psychiatrist, therapist and marriage counselor, and gotten off my bipolar medication for far too long. The city felt more and more like a goldfish bowl. I was losing my mind. Before long I would leave my wife and travel to Los Angeles where I would end-up homeless, sleeping in shelters, committed ot a mental hospital, and have heroine dealers try to sell the drug to me on the street. These poems, then, are a reflection of that moment, often pitch black, other times radiant and true, but always honest and genuine. They attempt to express what I was feeling during a time I almost did not survive, and sometimes wished I would not have. This collection, then was written in ten days in the Journal Square section of Jersey City, NJ. It was recently found almost ten years later under a pile of newspapers after it had been long forgotten.

Sidewalks And Street Corners

A COLLECTION OF POETRY

By: Radomir Vojtech Luza

In the underground urban landscape each of us finds ourselves in these uncertain days, bleakness, loneliness, and cavities of the soul are most prevalent. We feel like cages and boxes, steel and cardboard. We act like cobras and rats. Not because we want to, but because we think we have no choice. In the red-streak alarm America of today, sidewalks and street corners are the most potent and pregnant reminders of that emptiness. We forget what, where, and how we traversed and what each space looks like because we are taught from grade school to concentrate on the important matters in our lives. But how can you tell what is significant if you cannot comprehend what is not? How can existence flourish if one does not extend the same feelings and sensitivity to the darker and more ambivalent entities as to those lighter, more meaningful and clear? In the end, sidewalks and street corners are part of our daily lives. If they do anything, these poems capture the spirit of that cement, mortar, brick, and asphalt to offer a collection rich in voice and virtue and loud in ambiance and indigo. It is the dust, rust, dirt, and density of sidewalks and street corners that we often forget. This poetry, this very verse, then, is a sign of those staunch road blocks and hurdles in our everyday lives. But most importantly, it is also an answer or solution as to how to overcome or clear the very mental obstacles that are preventing us from achieving all that we can while waking to the brightest sun and falling asleep to the mildest moon.
