My Body is a Forest-Elm/Left Arm (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

In this part of the "My Body is a Forest", esp. "Elm/Left Arm", I have included poems of strength, courage, nature, manhood, and human kindness. It is with this "body part", we as humans lift ourselves above the daily troubles that strife us all, to something nobler: like human compassion, caring, empathy, and just plain working things out.

This book, holds, so to speak, one half of the courageous poems, about divorce, hurt, and how to rise above those things. Some are hard poems, difficult, even sad, yet in them all you can feel that there is something driving the speaker to lift himself above those "issues" of daily life to a place where people really do "get along".

Because in the end, there is nothing more crucial to happiness in life, than happiness as a member of the Human Family.

Autor

I've been writing for a very long time, what seems like my whole life, taking it seriously from the time I was about 11. Now, at 46, I think I may be starting to get the hang of it: Say what you feel, as passionately as you can, but always with an ear turned to those who are listening.
Most of my more serious work is done at live performances, which i do totally extemporaneously, channeling the mood of the room as my fingers play on the guitar. You can see some of that if you go to "my" website. (Open Mics Austin is a platform I created to showcase the Spoken Word scene here in Austin, TX. Only a small role in which i play.)
As far as I can tell what makes good writing is LOVE. Love ,plainly simply, and with no strings attached.
I put these words/books before you, not so much because I want something back from it, because I think and feel like I feel my bones and my soul, if you were to see the world, experience it like it do, for even a brief moment, you would walk away from that happier, more alive, compassionate and in tune with all those around you.
Peace, good will, and harmony. Let those be your guiding light.
Agape forever,
Scott Vanya
