Authors from Austria, Australia, Canada, USA and EstoniaInheritance is a universal occurrence, through which the accumulated wealth of ancestors is passed down from parent to child, in atomic form via genetics. Making the complexities of genetics simple, even a random swipe of 'Yes' in a dating application is no co-incidence. Whilst genetics maybe storing information about past life linkages, the connection between two people even in the present can only happen by luck, with an undercurrent of destiny. There is a magnetism that ascertains and gets two people together through their thoughts. Destined to be together ... for how long? Is set by thy thoughts. Power your thoughts and all forces work for thee. One's thoughts determine who they attract. Mostly, those thoughts speak of what one is deprived of and that which they're told they can't have. Sometimes, the pursuit is to find what makes the seeker stronger. For instance, a Shudra would seek a Vaishya; a Vaishya may look for a Kshatriya or may go for a Shudra; likewise a Kshatriya will dream to find a Brahmin but will end up choosing a Vaishya; and a Brahmin is, like how all the others are ethically supposed to be, meant to only and strictly link with another Brahmin. Whilst venturing into online dating, any two who click or match with one another, do so because there is a magnetism. Now, hereon the thoughts power the magnetism to continue. Sometimes, the fuel which keeps them going are the differences more than those similarities. Similarities can sometimes spew boredom and fizzle interest away. Whilst, on the other hand, the differences can spark an exploration of the unknown, more like the unseen experience. Enjoy the vibrance, exploring life as it unfolds. Isn't it amazing how your genetics stores a lot of information with the secrecy that only time itself can foretell? Arguably, it's the cyclic actions that our genes make us do that created the phrase - History repeats itself!
This manuscript is a personal compilation of my life experiences. Moments in life can be beautiful and torturous. This set of works illuminates both feelings. From becoming a woman to motherhood to losing my father, I recollect my emotions - then and now - as real, raw, and honest.
Authors from : Poland, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, USA and AustriaMorning Walker is a collection of poems with a certain amount of discipline that spreads as a vibe. Julie Hogg and Mark Tochen deserve a special mention in the book.
Mark's poems really resonate with me. It's as if he is putting into poetry what I have experienced in our Alzheimer's journey. I kept saying, "yes, that's how it is." The poets help us see more clearly. He changed my life.Bruce A. Hunt
Tides of Change is a collection of poetry by Mark Tochen, a retired pediatrician and life-long writer. This book is dedicated to Mark's wife Dr. Helen Tochen, a pediatrician, hematologist, and blood-bank specialist throughout a distinguished medical career. Helen is Mark's mainstay and the mother of their two children. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's syndrome in 2016, and this book of poetry was written to honor Helen and for Mark to be her spokesman with family and friends. The poems make a narrative of love and loss, of fifty years of marriage vows renewed daily, and of Mark and Helen's unwavering and clear devotion to each other. Helen is Mark's Muse; she is his source of joy and love, a constant companion, the woman who reads his heart with the gift of perfect understanding.

Building Bridges is an anthology showcasing my journey into micro poetry, featuring my previously published haiku, tanka, and tanka prose. Within its pages, I explore small moments from my own backyard and childhood, drawing inspiration from the majestic snow-covered mountains and volcanoes in the North Cascades, as well as the towering giant trees that surround me. The ever-present view of the Puget Sound, which I witness daily while teaching young students, and the rhythmic ocean waves of the Pacific blue, further contribute to the tapestry of my poetic musings. It is in those quiet moments that I find myself crafting new songs. As a dedicated teacher, I have had the privilege of instructing students across various grades, including kindergarten, second grade, third grade, and special education. Beyond the classroom, my passions extend to writing, reading, yoga, photography, and spending time outdoors with my family. In 2013, I ventured into the realm of fiction with the publication of my middle-grade novel, 'Broken Bridges.' My writing journey has also led me to contribute to the education market and share a diverse collection of poetry and short stories. Currently residing in Washington state, I am accompanied by my beautiful wife, Jaci, and our two beloved kitties. Together, we cherish moments with my two children and three stepchildren.

The title-Remarkable It Is-refers to the poet's calling to notice things that most of us take for granted (such as our breathing and our hearts beating) but that actually constitute the miracle of our being alive. These poems range from the playfully wistful, to the probingly thoughtful (about old age and the specter of mortality as well as our place in the universe), and the satirical (especially about contemporary politics and world events). The poems in this new collection reflect a "late life" outlook, but they also speak to perennial topics and experiences that readers of all ages should be able to relate to.

After serving during the Vietnam War era, Mr. Woodward became a Paramedic in Honolulu, Hawaii. Because of this profession, he was able to support himself and travel extensively, visiting or living in forty-six countries, all the while keeping a journal of the whole fifteen-year adventure. Many of his stories and poems are derived from those journals. In addition to his poetry, Mr. Woodward has written two other works. His book, "Lights and Sirens, One Day in My Life as a Paramedic," and "Yard Sale Today," a small book about how to run your Yard Sale. Another book of poetry is in progress.
The zephyr of an urban city attracts people. For those who stay on, adapting to the hubbub, is inevitable. The cycle of experiences can be broadly shown in three phases. The Brahma Stage, is the learning phase which is full of zest and bliss, spiked with creativity. The Vishnu Stage, is the peak, where the feeling of knowing everything there is to learn, plateaus. The Maheshwara Stage, is when realities dawn upon the self as bitter they can be, in turn making one 'move on' and evolve. The vibrancy of experiences offered in a multi-faceted city, repeats this cycle for individuals. It rewards those who continue to stay, with undying grit and a street smart approach of a survivor.

Synopsis of, "Scanning Past Horizons: Poetry in Time." With a taste of nostalgia, "Scanning Past Horizons: Poetry in Time," by Randy Lee White delves into the psyche of struggling Americans now and in the past. This thought-provoking and often heart-wrenching collection captures time in a poetic multifaceted view. With poems such as the "Morning Rush," and "Broad and Main," the audience feels the frenzy of rush hour and the workweek. They will plunge into a digital world that is instantaneous and permanent with such poems as: "Weirdest Thing," "Microscopes," and "The Workhorse" before reflecting backwards. Explore a multifaceted view on poetic time: both in the present and in the past. Embrace key moments that have shaped America and the world. Such poems as "The 1903 Flyer," "Bonus. 1932," "Bone Dry, 1935," "Letter for Home, June 1944," and "Moonwalk, 1969," pull readers back in time. These events give a glimpse of a past not so clean, not so righteous-yet, promising. Many of these sonnets will tug at the audience's hearts with light-hearted comedy and realistic drama to create a sense of nostalgic wonder. At the very heart of this collection is a poem about time itself, titled, "Now & Then." It illuminates humanity's struggle to preserve time. In a blink of an eye or the scroll of the platen roller on a typewriter time passes regardless of our feeble attempts to control it. The essence of this collection is time. Time to think; time to ponder. This gathering of poems clearly reflect that facet first shown in the introduction poem. And that same theme vibrates throughout the collection all the way to the last poem. Are we all searching for something to define us? Do we unknowingly judge others? Do we spit on "truth's granite façade," as the old man said. Perhaps his sarcastic attitude can help us see our ignorance in judging others without a better understanding of ourselves. This multifaced collection fills the reader with a sense of purpose in that understanding.In the end, "Scanning Past Horizons: Poetry in Time" is more than a poetic concept of time. It is about our humanity and how certain moments in time have affected us. Furthermore, this collection leaves readers pondering the question of whether we define the events that make history or do the events that make history define us forever? This multifaceted poetry collection will be a timeless glimpse into that abyss and have readers returning again and again.
This is a gathering of poems written in a time that the poet felt a large deal of depression but also hope. This book was written in order to help other people that may feel the same, or would just like someone who gets the raw pain of loss, and losing ones self, just to get back up again and start all over.

About The Author - Though born in Utah, Carolina has never lived in one place longer than four years. This nomadic lifestyle has taken her to Texas, for now, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. While Carolina was originally an English major in college, she quickly switched to study Experience Design (with an Art History minor!) at Brigham Young University - a major (and minor!) that she does not use. Ironically, her scheduled life of balancing work, church, loved ones, and live music is often broken up by inspiration and the desperate search for a pen to write down new thoughts that will eventually become stories and poems. Maybe she should have stuck with the English major.

"The Sounds a Shadow Makes" is a collection of poems intended to capture "the hidden." These poems bring a voice to the inner thoughts, restrained emotions, quiet fears, and restrained ideas that exist on the fringes and margins of our everyday experience. This collection brings attention to the individual and the way a person experiences life that is unique and distinct from all others. The main theme presented in this collection is that even things that may not be immediately perceptible to our conscience have meaning that is just as real as the observable.
