The Poetic Bond VII
The Poetic Bond VII is now available on Amazon and elsewhere
Making a Poetic Bond – the ethos behind putting together the anthology The process of selecting poems for publishing The Poetic Bond series is unlike any other in that there is no set plan as to what will be published. It depends on the themes which emerge from the pool of work submitted, or to put it another way, the poetic energy which comes together at this certain time and place. Where themes emerge, patterns of energy harmonize, form bonds, connections, and these in turn lead to interconnected chapters, and the creation of a holistic volume, deeply connected with humanity, nature, and the universe. “Poetry, both reveals and shares our humanity” (Trevor Maynard, editor The Poetic Bond Series)
Submission window for The Poetic Bond VIII opens March 2018 |

The Poetic Bond V
Why is a poem selected for THE POETIC BOND? The submission process is unique in that choices for inclusion are made on the basis of emergent themes and congruency in the pool of work submitted; it is therefore also a snapshot of the poetry of NOW, seeking to capture the zeitgeist of the moment. |

Love, Death, and The War On Terror
We, the people, still meet each other, fall in love, and generate enough good in the world to counter and hopefully, in the end, overhaul the evil. The terrorists may murder, the soldier may die, but in the end, humanity has love, and love will conquer all. A new edition of Love, Death and The War on Terror will be released in March 2016, and will include five new poems. This edition will include the “Obama” Trilogy. |
