Mother: A Heartfelt Poetic Tribute Celebrating Single Mothers
Summary
Author Avery Washington's style of poetry is compassionate and thought provoking. His childhood experiences, being raised by a single mother, have created this huge heart he has for women and children. Avery Washington's gift of words in Mother reads as a universal anthem for respecting the beautiful women in our lives. He has created a unique platform to pour out his love for not only his family, but for other families as well, setting an example that men can revere women without being regarded as weak. If you liked his previous collections Just Speaking My Mind and Letters to My Daughters, you will thoroughly enjoy this current listen. With such titles as The Proposal and My Inspiration, Avery Washington gets it! He is standing in agreement with every man who appreciates a mother's heart, a spouse's affection, and the unconditional love received from our children. His words are inspiring enough that even if one is not quite living up to their responsibilities, when they hear his poetic messages, they will want to become a better husband, father, and friend. "The love of God is the only love greater than the love a mother has for her child." (Avery Washington)

The Poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar
Summary
Paul Laurence Dunbar was born on 27th June 1872 in Dayton, Ohio. His parents had been slaves in Kentucky before the Civil War. Dunbar wrote his first poem at age six and gave his first public recital at age nine. By 16, he was already published as a poet in The Herald, a local newspaper. After completing his formal schooling in 1891, Dunbar was employed as an elevator operator, at four dollars a week. His hopes of a legal career floundered on a lack of funds and racial discrimination. However, he wrote his poetry and took every opportunity to publish. In 1892 his employers sent him to the United Brethren Publishing House which, in 1893, printed his dialect poetry, Oak and Ivy; Dunbar subsidized the printing and earned back his investment in two weeks by selling copies himself. Dunbar also wrote the lyrics for In Dahomey, the first musical written and performed entirely by African Americans. It was produced on Broadway in 1903 and then toured England and the United States for four years. After returning from a literary tour of United Kingdom, Dunbar married Alice Ruth Moore on 6th March 1898. She was a teacher and poet from New Orleans. Dunbar called her "the sweetest, smartest little girl I ever saw". Alice would become as famous as Paul during her life for her own literary works. In 1900, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and his doctors recommended drinking whisky to alleviate his symptoms. The couple moved to Colorado, as the cold, dry mountain air was considered favorable for his health. Dunbar and Alice separated in 1902 but never divorced. But depression and declining health drove him to depend on alcohol, and his health deteriorated. His short career was prolific; a dozen books of poetry, four books of short stories, four novels, lyrics for In Dahomey and a play. Dunbar’s essays and poems were published widely in leading journals including Harper's Weekly and The Saturday Evening Post. He was also a committed civil rights activist. In 1904, he returned to Dayton to be with his mother. Paul Laurence Dunbar died of tuberculosis on 9th February 1906, at the age of only 33.

Imponderables Propel the Dance
Summary
Stunning new poetry collection sculpted or (better yet) hammered out of the inmost recesses of a first time published poet against a back story of an American in Moscow slowly but surely transforming from a wide-eyed investor lawyer/banker searching for his roots to drinking vodka, smoking cigarettes, and reading and writing poetry - in other words toward becoming thoroughly Russian despite his deep American roots. Alex Levitch serves up one illusion after another as he pits one imponderable after another in a madcap series of poetic narratives that challenges, confesses, probes. His poetry reminds one of Chekov, Milosz, Keats, and other later-in-life business poets like Stevens.

Lovin Touch
Summary
The Lovin' Touch stories were first told on Dick Summer's late night radio shows in New York and Boston, and later published as poetry books. The success of the books inspired a line of jewelry, a series of greeting cards, and from what we've been told, quite a few highly romantic evenings by hundreds of thousands of listeners and readers. A more accurate description of the Lovin' Touch stories would be that they are the gentle ravings of a man who was suddenly shocked to find himself in love. Some of you may have heard some of these stories years ago. If so, you may be pleased to know that Dick is still shocked, still raving, and still in love with the same woman. Lovin' Touch is about that woman.

200 Haiku Love Poems
Summary
In this haiku love poems audiobook, I am delivering an underlying message that is not only about romance and romantic love, but even more, about the sacred feelings, perceptions and sophisticated moods that deeper love creates, when the partners are very much in love with each other. The audiobook itself is created in such a way, that it sets an almost meditative mood, where you can dwell in its simple message and its wonderful verses. Written in the spiritually-inspired Rumi style, you can easily contemplate this out-of-this-world atmosphere, with the help of the smooth and airy musical chords which are present in the background, all-throughout the audiobook. The poems are inspiring and they can be a great mood setter and always being able to rekindle the flame of love while clearly describing the joy of the heart, while being in love. I invite you to sit back, relax and immerse in an hour and a half of beautiful haiku love poems. Namaste.
