The poems represented between these pages in this powerful book are Urban shocking vignettes of street homelessness lived and experienced by a man rightly titled The Homeless Poet. The pieces reflect the serious danger of physical violence, destitution and charity incorporated in the realm of homeless individuals surviving the undiminishing scourge of homelessness prevalent in modern day Britain. The poet relays in brutal honesty contemporary themes of social injustice and family-related issues from the harsh perspective of the street too, but cloaked in the beauty of compassion and love. This is a must-read poetry book displaying acute insight into the subject of living rough, and witnessing how life impacts the humanity of men and women in the stranglehold of urban street homelessness while endeavouring to retain their dignity and respect. The unpredictable vagaries of street life shaping the short and concise poetical writing here will ignite anger and disbelief in equal measure. These worded paintings were conceived in a world unfamiliar to the majority of ordinary people; a domain sometimes devoid of safety and security. This book shines bright in testimony that hope and purpose can be maintained on the streets through strength of mind, unwavering resilience and tenuous family connections. Read the contents of this hard-fought creation, and see the tough reality our society pretends does not exist for men and women deprived of a home.
Faith of the Believer is a combination of creative poetry, philosophy, and wit that is founded on the believer's responsibility to seek to rise up to the standard. A standard which was founded by our Savior, which came with basic instructions, for each believer to go, teach, and make disciples. Poetry is the vehicle, philosophy is the wheels on which it rolls, and the Word is the fuel, which propels it. Somewhere within the bounds of Faith of the Believer is a "spirit check," a personal revival, an awakening of your original vow. A vow to a faith that you were not drafted into but one that you believe in your heart and confessed with your mouth and freely enlisted. So if you are outside of His will, then know that there might be something you yet need to do, or someone that only you can reach. So you might need to get off the sidelines and back in the game, a game that we can't afford to lose. For we are all here with purpose. And time is winding down for the children of man. I come to you in the volume of the book with purpose, as one crying in the wilderness, trying to open the eyes of the children of man, before they are harvested by minds of destruction. For God called preachers, God sent teachers, God sent prophets, and God sent poets. And I am "The Poet," and this is The Poet's perspective on the faith of the believer.
Bagel Bard - noun. 1. A poet that is glazed and ring-shaped whose poetry has a tough, chewy texture usually made of leavened words and images dropped briefly into nearly boiling conversations on Saturday mornings- often baked to a golden brown. 2. -verb. To come together in writership over breakfast. To laugh so hard at an irreverent statement that the sesame seeds of the bagel you've just eaten explode from your mouth like grenade shrapnel. Welcome to the third Bagelbard Anthology. As some of you know (or can guess from the above definition) the Bagel Bards meet every Saturday morning at a designated spot. We breakfast in the original sense of eating, but also, because most of us are so busy working on our writing careers that we often find ourselves starved for great conversation. Well, the Bagel Bards breakfast hang is not only a place in which to do the aforementioned, but also to observe characters who themselves could be the subjects of poems and fiction.
The Bagel Bards (or Bagels with the Bards) (are) a group of poets varied in age, race, gender meet, share poems, discuss poetry, drink lots of coffee, chew a bagel if so desired, sometimes sell their books. The atmosphere is generous and open to all, and you don't have to be a poet to attend. What I find most exciting about the Bards, people here are not conscious of reputation and achievement, but love the poem and good friendly unpretentious talk. That doesn't mean that pretensions don't exist if that's what you desire, but the coffee is strong, the people sincere and are publishers of small press magazines, pamphlets and books. If you want to be in an atmosphere that is intelligent without self-involved, convoluted literary talk of people who need to prove themselves and announce themselves as artists, here is a place to and the pleasure that good literary company may offer. - Sam Cornish

This book is a concise guide to and analysis of the complexities of modern Jewish politics in the interwar European and American diaspora. "Jewish politics" refers to the different and opposing visions of the Jewish future as formulated by various Jewish political parties and organizations and their efforts to implement their programs and thereby solve the "Jewish question." Mendelsohn begins by attempting a typology of these Jewish political parties and organizations, dividing them into a number of schools or "camps." He then suggests a "geography" of Jewish politics by locating the core areas of the various camps. There follows an analysis of the competition among the various Jewish political camps for hegemony in the Jewish world--an analysis that pays particular attention to the situation in the United States and Poland, the two largest diasporas, in the 1920s and 1930s. The final chapters ask the following questions: what were the sources of appeal of the various Jewish political camps (such as the Jewish left and Jewish nationalism), to what extent did the various factions succeed in their efforts to implement their plans for the Jewish future, and how were Jewish politics similar to, or different from, the politics of other minority groups in Europe and America? Mendelsohn concludes with a discussion of the great changes that have occurred in the world of Jewish politics since World War II.
