In Winter 2007, a full-time college student broke 7 years of writer's block by writing a new poem, generated while reading Martin Luther King's Letter from Birmingham Jail for English homework at City College of San Francisco's main campus library. His little poem led to filling a hardcover black notebook with a full rushing cascade of penned poetry. He named his notebook Crimson Stain. Oakland performance poet Dee Allen gives us Crimson Stain-a collection brimming with a plethora of divergent themes that re-ignited his long-lost passion for writing: Worldwide spread of blood diamonds from Africa, activism, real estate gentrification, homelessness, political prisoners, war, Islamophobia, dedication to a viceless life, love for underground culture, abuses from the police and much more.

An enchanting mix of English and Japanese, carnal and divine, sparkling banter and deep vulnerability, Dane Ince's and Mercedes' "Morning Tanka" distills volumes of intimacy into a series of short-form Tanka poems. Its central partners swap love notes, pillow talk, and deep confession, giving us a privileged glimpse of their inner lives and the "beautiful poetry [their] hearts write together."--Emily Cordes, author of "Armful of Poppies" and "Queen of Swords"A journal of thank you notes between lovers, California poems in the style of traditional Japanese form poetry In English and Japanese. In the tradition of the Beat poets, the writers practice the form of Japanese poetry that originated in the seventh century. Tanka poems are thirty-one syllables in five lines and more expansive than the three-line haiku, yet still the compression confines the poet to just the exact words to convey gratefulness for the blessings of love. The translations are by Yuri Miki a Japanese Slam poetry champion.A sensory buffet that tingles and teases the reader with its sheer visual impact. These exquisite tankas are intensely personal word paintings with striking and potent imagery. I was enraptured with the deftly woven skeins of nature, love, and desire. "Shimmer water kissing lips Like ships sinking into fog." The Japanese form of poetry that began in the seventh century is effectively carried forward in California today by Dane and Mercedes in these morning notes of gratitude and love. The metaphors are endearingly fresh, the passion palpable. These five-line tanka letters are conversational in tone even as they disarmingly bare body and soul. The fragrant sensuality rises above the wondrous awe that the poets feel for each other. A book to be kept close to your bed in order to savour its sheer genius.

"The hard-boiled steaming hot bloody sweaty sex and crime underworld Beat Noir poems of DESTINY MURDER get darker and faster moving down that long-distance railroad track to nowhere but man oh man they cast a spell so there's no way I'm gonna get off this night train! What a ride! Dane Ince is both Chief Detective and Public Enemy # 1. His poems mesmerize and summon me to the heart of darkness where the only choice is to do or die. DESTINY MURDER is a dangerous new volume of poems by the brilliant Dane Ince. I recommend it with only one warning: Get ready for the ride of your life! I hope you survive!"- Ron Whitehead, Lifetime Beat Poet

"The Green Notebook gives one the key to enter the extraordinary poetical world of John Angell Grant. It is a world constituted of the lyrical and the horrific, the serene and the troubled, the desired and the lost. It is a world forever in motion and the poet at its center is Whitmanian in his ceaseless engagement with everything coming his way. The encounters might result in a witty and off-the-cuff haiku or, just as likely, a sober and well-wrought sonnet. Versatility leads the way. The poems about his father are unforgettable in their anguish and the poems finding peace in the simplicity of the everyday are consoling. Above all, this collection gives us a poet fully present in a reality he has been given and which he redeems." -William M. Chace, Professor of English and President Emeritus of Emory University, author of The Political Identities of Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot.

March 2020. America began to shut down due to the Sars-COVID pandemic. Travel was halted. Workers were required to stay home. Medical facilities became flooded with sick and dying patients. Senior living homes locked their doors to family members. But what of the lovers? Part l of this book is dedicated to all the lovers who were separated by the pandemic, who could no longer access love, human contact, and intimacy, for what is a world without love? The poems in Part II were written about our country's declining state, the growing rate of poverty due to the pandemic, and the deconstruction of humanity that has taken place during the past 3 years of Covid. As the years of the pandemic suffered on and hatred festered in the United States, my partner and I decided to move away from the insanity of the city for the open wilderness of Oregon where we could once again breathe deeply, living our lives regenerating love while becoming stewards of this beautiful land upon which we live. The poems in Part lll are an homage to desert life in the wilderness.

This book is a sweary account of after-life marital arguments with my late husband and his negotiations with me to re-engage with community. And that of my counselling experience, assessing my progress in this grief journey over four years after his death. My complicated grief, my upset and my life experiences of family grief and loss. It is clear I am angry as f**k that he died and that this grief journey is a hard one, but I find several ways of dealing with living with it, sometimes without resources or support and find my own way to getting through the first four years including poetry, writing this book, a rock choir, reiki, and all the get-up - fall downs along the way. There is more to come- but this is the first. Please be warned that there is an extreme amount of swearing in this book, and most expletives are said inside my head, and thankfully not at other people, but I am stating now that if this is something you cannot bear, please forgive me, I have told my utmost truth and am authentic in each and every moment. - This book is published on 12th Dec 2022, the anniversary of my husbands' death on Dec 12th 2017, and is my homage to him and his requirements that I keep on going, and I am, and I will.
