A new modern epic poem is presented by Threshingfloor Press! Michael the Lion from Venus should promote curiosity; who is Michael? And why is he from Venus? Written in a “sprung verse beat rhythm” for meter, which is an invention of a combination of Sapphire Pleiades’ interpretation of the sprung verse of the 19th century, plus beatnick rhythms, such as the jazz backgrounds that beat poets read their verse to, this epic poem tells the story of the life and times of one Michael, a quintessential beatnik/hippie character who lopes his way along the crest of the rising tide of America and who involves himself in magical-realism events in cultures and locations all over the world! The language of this modern epic poem, a new Odyssey, is offered for connoisseurs of culture and of wisdom, and with so many anecdotes that describe important trends of the 1960’s and the wave of hippies that brought to the world so many advances in environmentalism, in searching for world peace, in interacting with foreign cultures, in new age research, all in bright color brilliance of thought and words that are like a rainbow to gift art of earth with beauty! Find Michel remote viewing distant locations as a teenager; find him dematerializing a bus in front of him and driving through it; find him having visions of giant birds of good omen and many other visions; find him learning ancient secrets from Tibetans; find him learning about the space brothers and meeting them in Hawaii; and if you wish to have the literary experience of a lifetime that can elevate your consciousness; buy and read the book! Every event in this book actually occurred and is true; Michael the Lion from Venus exists! Destined to be a literary classic, the book could be the primary epic poem of the twenty-first century! A veritable river of words that are a swiftness to flow through thoughts of delight! Seekers for secrets can find them here!

	1933 By: Ebony March Price: $14.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-60862-154-5 Edition: Paperback, 126 Pages Publication Date: April 9, 2010
Excerpt from “The Librarian” “As our hearts beat, symbiotic We form a bond strong as a pillar With our bodies sprawled out naked Between D.H. Lawrence and Henry Miller. And my cherished lover is such a dear When so uncompromised, He looks at me and says, ‘I want you,’ Only with his eyes.” Ebony March melds the humor and feminism of early Meryn Cadell with the contemporary cool and street wisdom of Saul Williams into her debut collection of poems, 1933. From love to sex to obsession to fear, she is the voice of her generation: an introspective city-dweller pushing past the pretense in order to share her unique point of view. 1933 is a reflection of her life from age nineteen until thirty-three, and offers an unflinching look into the brave new world of a starving artist.

I started writing about four years ago after I built a pond in my backyard. I wrote a short story about dragons, fairies and other creatures for my grandchildren. I later wrote my first poem book and I liked it very much, so I wrote another one. To me poems are very short stories or ideas you can put down right away and you are done. I hope that all who pick my book to read will enjoy and find a small part of themselves in my poems. On the Beach is my third book. I make my poems easy reading and therefore enjoyable. I write free style about what is on my mind at the time. Some of my poems are emotional because I experienced it and they come from the heart. So kick off your sandals, find a spot on the sand and read some new fresh poems from a new author. I thank all who buy my book and hope you will enjoy it. Vincent R. Lauria

When we fear our systems because we think they are so strong. When we let the laws decide what is right and wrong. Are we not, in all honesty, thinking humans are so weak? Aren’t we also saying we are just too afraid to speak? And on the deeper level are we living life as if a Higher Power has less power or just does not exist? Is it not this very thinking that sets the tone to be controlled? Nothing else could do it—we don’t care what you’ve been told. We as humans have been born with privilege; the ability to think, to feel, to observe, to reason…there is no missing link. We have been created with all the knowing how to live. From day one we have all of this! Now something has to give.
