It's been said that a man must first move himself before he can move the hearts of others. In this diverse collection, Steven Manchester not only intends to capture the thoughts of his readers, but aspires to touch their souls as well. Throughout Still, both verse and prose are unified in a hopeful theme and tone, while Manchester maintains his deliberately simplistic style of expression. He prefers that his readers search their mind and heart rather than being forced to dissect and analyze each poem's meaning. And undoubtedly, it is the human heart for which he aims. Having drawn inspiration from family, friends and the kindness of strangers, for Steven Manchester, every poem found in Still proved to be a labor of love. Ten years from the very day he put pen to paper, this diverse collection was born.

While writing and selecting the work that appears in this book, I had to decide what it is that I wished to convey to myself, and you, without forfeiting the harsh reality and deep honesty of loss, and the healing that begins with these understandings. The poems here have evolved over four years, through personal experience, and the experiences of others. And so, I have divided this book into four parts, each describing a different subject in many different ways. I hope that part of what you find in Humming Riddles in Naked Seasons, will be the nature of humanity, the humanity contained in nature, and the questions that lead to the healing of both.

Humming Riddles In Naked Seasons

Michael Paul Ladanyi

Again We Stand

Daniel Arsyn

Imagine a missing poet; vanished, without a trace. What’s left is this box of notes and postcards she’s written. Some stranger enters her vacant rooms, finds these things, and is left to imagine a life and an identity for this wisp of words. I’d like to begin this new collection with that bit of semi-fiction. It interests me to think of a character and a setting that could be consistent with these poems. This is a new approach. Earlier collections have been done with sub-sections, and lots of definitions in the footnotes, which was something of my earlier trademark. This new assortment of poems is really a collection of observations and reflections , some of them cathartic, others merely note-jotting. Much of it is whimsy, with a touch of grit around the edges.

Postcards from a Summer Girl

"I began writing this book quite a while ago actually. Too long, so I won't bore the hell out of you with the schematics,and just get to the point. It's a simplebook of poetry about wanting something you can never have. Loving the unlovable,or maybe only loving yourself, and blaming it on the one that got away. Regardless,it's about chasing God, and love, and family, but arriving back at yourself, the begining,too late. I hope you'll enjoy my past as much as I did, and arrive at somebeautiful place inside of yourself by the end of your journey as I have.You will find that I use many styles of poetry in the process, but you willalso see that I have sewn them all together in such a manner as to weavea bigger quilt then at first suspected, and thus is the mystery in aging, andthe adventure in arriving at the origin."

A Serving of Humanity: And Other Poem to Dine on

Anastasia Clark blurs the line between reality and fantasy- to create the mood for her latest book, Vagabond Pond. An assortment of 85 poems dedicated to vagabonds- those who might be lost in a very real sense...or those who might be lost in just their own minds. Vagabond Pond is an imaginary place to gather, to hurt, to heal, to rejoice. A place you will never forget........... Vagabond Pond is an imaginary place: a place where you might “find” yourself- and a place where you might “lose” yourself- just as easily.
