Diary Of A Broken Poet

Diary of a Broken Poet is not about style or some esoteric conceit; it's about connection and personal experiences that resonate with the universal. It's sensuous, musical, and mirthful. Diary of a Broken Poet is more than just a collection of poems written by the author on issues that affect him and us. This collection is a discourse between the poet and his readers, an intimate conversation which unveils the ‘beingness’ of the author and his unique perspective of life and living. In the age where focus is on how words are metaphorized into some extended discordance, where clamour is for “depth”, which is often devoid of feeling or emotion, it is a relief to read poems that pour from the soul and being of the poet!

In a combination off various styles of poetry, Diary of a Broken Heart takes the reader through the emotional toils of love, loss, and healing. You're going to feel the desire for love. You're going want to cry. You're going to be angry. You're going to feel strong. If you're ready to ride on this emotional rollercoaster that loving "them" brings, then go ahead and start reading. It's definitely a page turner.

No art has been denounced as often as poetry. It's even bemoaned by poets: "I, too, dislike it," wrote Marianne Moore. "Many more people agree they hate poetry," Ben Lerner writes, "than can agree what poetry is. I, too, dislike it and have largely organized my life around it and do not experience that as a contradiction because poetry and the hatred of poetry are inextricable in ways it is my purpose to explore." In this inventive and lucid essay, Lerner takes the hatred of poetry as the starting point of his defense of the art. He examines poetry's greatest haters (beginning with Plato's famous claim that an ideal city had no place for poets, who would only corrupt and mislead the young) and both its greatest and worst practitioners, providing inspired close readings of Keats, Dickinson, McGonagall, Whitman, and others. Throughout, he attempts to explain the noble failure at the heart of every truly great and truly horrible poem: the impulse to launch the experience of an individual into a timeless communal existence. In The Hatred of Poetry, Lerner has crafted an entertaining, personal, and entirely original examination of a vocation no less essential for being impossible.

This humble book that you hold in your hand started out as a diary, written on scraps of paper, and in notebooks that were cobbled together and hidden from view by a lonely, displaced little girl. Katarina B. Viktor filled the pages of her secret book with her thoughts, ideas and musings. She would even wake in the middle of the night with inspired thoughts that she wrote down on any bit of paper she could find, including “sticky notes”. When boredom struck on mundane activities like riding the bus, Katarina’s imagination would soar and she kept adding to her writings. Recording her tumultuous feelings and observations of life’s simple joys and beauties provided Viktor with an escape into the world of imagination. As Katarina gradually developed what became an unshakeable faith in God, the spiritual aspect of her poems deepened. Katarina’s diary became to her more than an inanimate object. It was a friend she could confide in. Yet the biggest allies in Katarina’s life became God, The Lord Jesus Christ, and the beautiful man she met and built a life with, at the point she was most broken. Reading this book is not only a journey into Viktor’s own life. It is an astute observation of the lives of others, of studies on nature and a tribute to Katarina’s strong faith. No matter what your beliefs, there is a deep humanity and appreciation of life to be found in these poems.
