"Swallow" Poetry Chapbook by Jendi Reiter Now Available from Amsterdam Pres
2009-09-02 23:14:00 My poetry chapbook Swallow won the 2008 Flip Kelly Poetry Prize from Amsterdam Press and is now available for purchase online. Thanks are due to my awesome editor, Cindy Kelly; poet Ellen LaFleche, who helped me organize the collection and suggested the title; and my prison pen pal "Conway" who drew the amazing cover art. "Jendi Reiter's poems are arrows that plunge dead center into the hearts of feminism, religion, death, the interior of mental health and psychotherapy. Her humor and satire here are as sharply honed as are her indignation. All are delivered in highly imaginative and metaphoric imagery. This is an intelligent and powerful read that will leave issues bleeding in the minds of readers for a while before they heal." ?Ellaraine Lockie, award-winning poet, nonfiction author, educator "There's plenty of poetry I wouldn't give a fig for, but I'd give strawberries for the poems in Jendi Reiter's SWALLOW. When I started in Poetry in 1962, I felt poems were only p...

'I am the One whom I love'I am the One whom I love,and the One whom I love is myself.We are two souls incarnated in one body;if you see me, you see Him,if you see Him, you see us.2.

'Kill me, my faithful friends'Kill me, my faithful friends,For in my being killed is my life.Love is that you remain standingIn front of your BelovedWhen you are stripped of all your attributes;Then His attributes become your qualities.Between me and You, there is only me.Take away the me, so only You remain.4.

The issue includes collaborations between poets and musicians, recordings produced over layers of sound, and "naked" tracks of poets with distinctive voices that lend themselves particularly well to the audio format. As Katie Davis says in her recorded introduction, these twenty recordings make a "Beltway Poetry Remix" notable for the "pauses, the way a vowel is pulled and repeated, demanding to be reconsidered."

Knocking from Inside | Tiel Aisha Ansari's Book of Poetry
2008-07-29 20:22:00 1.Fellow blogger Tiel Aisha Ansari's collection of poetry, her first book Knocking from Inside finally came out this March! Ansari is a sufi, martial artist, and computer programmer. Born in Philadelphia, USA, she has been writing poetry since her conversion to Islam in 2005. In her site she identifies herself not as a poet, but 'a scribe of Allah'. That explains her book's sincere and bold dedication:For Allah, from Whom all things flowAnd for Shaykh Taner Ansari, my connection to AllahAnd for Todd, in whom I find Allah every day.I found the dedication very sweet. How many authors dare dedicating their book to God!2.In the introduction of the book, Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore makes the significant comment:... the most arresting thing about Tiel's work is that she dares to embrace the heart's overflowing imagination, and says "God" without flinching, longs for God or extols God in His creation and in every moment, without hesitation, as naturally as breathing. ... When Tiel says "...

Persian Poetry of Love, Mystery and God
2008-07-20 07:41:00 Love is a major theme in Persian poetry and can be interpreted in various ways - as mystic love, the basis of the relationship between human and God or as passionate or affectionate love between lovers, husbands and wives, parents and children, family and friends, or even as patriotic love for Iran.Poetry is part of the everyday life of almost every Iranian - we are continuously exposed to names such as Rudaki, Firdausi, Umar Khayyam, Sa'di, Hafiz, Maulavi Rumi, Nizami and many others. Poetry is much enjoyed by Iranians and other Persian (Farsi) speakers, who find solace and pleasure not just in the poetic language but also in the poet's philosophical and human approach to life - above all, in a mystic (sufi) view of the world, reaching truth and God through intense love and devotion.On Persian Poetic FormsGhazal: a short poem, 7-15 lines, all having the same rhyme. The last line normally include the signature of the poet. Generally resembling the sonnet and used for lyric poetry...

2008-07-07 15:16:00 1. HistoryLast year end of May, Sadiq Alam and Tiel Aisha Ansari jointly hosted the 1st Edition of Online Sufi Poetry Carnival. The idea of a Blog Carnival is a collection of blog posts/ site links on a specific subject/ theme.We are happy to announce that the 2nd Online Sufi Poetry Carnival will be jointly hosted at Inspirations and Creative Thoughts, Courts of Lions and Abdur Rahman's Corner sites on August 7th, 2008.2. ThemeThe past round's theme was "Celebrating Divine Love" and this time around it is "Knocking from Inside".Sufi Dervishes are people who live at the threshold of this world and the next, between the visible world and the unseen realm. The truest and deepest expressions of sufi poetry arrive from lived experiences within and it's the ecstasy of soul that knocks from inside on the door of our external world. Daniel Abdal Hayy Moore once expressed: "the province of poetry is a private ecstasy made public."On the idea of "Knocking from Inside" Rumi says (translated... |
