Stillpoint is a daring, controversial examination of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that shows the struggles of ordinary men and women on both sides. Spanning the period from 1947 to the modern day and showing how lives are affected from Boston to Beirut, from Haifa to Rockport. Do we learn from history? It would appear that we don't. What we learn we can easily forget, but understanding is of a different order, it cannot be forgotten. The poet T.S. Elliot describes this place of understanding as "The stillpoint of the turning world."
Aria is a child of a reaper and a angel. Such child can not exist but because she is still young, the worst she can suffer being exiled and forced to walk among the humans. But she soon learns that her father is more than what she is appeared and she has to face the fact that she can not run from who she is and what she must do nor can she prevent the war of her two worlds.
I wrote this short story for a contest that I competed in my freshman year of high school called Young Georgia Authors. I was pronounced grade representative with this short story. It qualified for the regional competition, but didn't get any farther than that. This story is set in Medieval Times. It's basically about a war that takes place- a fictitious war of course.
This is one of the yearly poetry collections I have. Previously, I published my poetry from 2013 and 2014 in two different poetry collection. "Poetry 2014" features a couple winning poems of mine just as I hope "Poetry 2015" will. I hope you enjoy the poems I have written in this book. Please comment and give constructive criticism.
This is my first ever poetry collection, inclusive of poems I haven’t yet released separately to Bookrix, so it probably won’t be as elaborate as some of my individual works, the little there is of those. It comprises six of my most strongly tied works. The first poem in this collection is “The Roaring Warden”, an early poem I wrote that revolves around a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship. The second is “27th and Crimson Avenue”, a recent poem I wrote inspired by S.E. Hinton’s ‘The Outsiders’ which analyzes how similar a gang fight is to a war and further emphasizes some anti-war themes. The third is “Me and Paulie Dine”, another recent poem which briefly looks into the effect of childhood idols on the human identity. The fourth is “At the Arch of Perdition”, which sees a socialite marriage through the eyes of a servant, though with possibly exaggerated aspects. The fifth is “The Peal of Joy-Skinned Lullaby”, not my most recent work but undoubtedly the poem I’ve put a lot of effort into. It uses a lot of dark imagery which is only metaphorical on a few opening occasions and greatly highlights regret and reason. And last but not least, the sixth is “You Shall Be Attended to in an Eternity” which compares indirect laziness to waiting in an absent doctor’s clinic. I hope you fill me in on whatever you feel like saying in the comment section or if it’s more personal you can send me a private message. Please Favorite it if you really like any of my poems.
