Random Acts Of Poetry

'Random Acts of Poetry' and original artwork make this book a great addition to any coffee-table. It's fun; it's colourful; it speaks to the heart. It is the perfect eclectic gift.

Take a break from the fast life and breathe. Exercise your mind and let it paint a picture. Read a poem a day and ask yourself if and how it applies to you. Random Acts of Poetry is titled appropriately as that was just the way it happened - randomly. I have categorized my poems into nine topics in various forms and disciplines. Subjects include philosophy, humor, science and math, religion, politics, family, death, temptation and mental illness. Most poems are free verse, but there is at least one of the following: limerick, haiku, sonnet, and acrostic. I hope at least one speaks to you personally and makes you go 'hmmm.' My hopes and intentions are that anyone who reads these poems might experience some enjoyment, perspective, and appreciation of the content. If you come across a term with which you are not familiar, I encourage you to knock on the internet door or visit a library to learn more. Consider it a type of Easter egg hunt. There are lots of Easter eggs in this book. Please remember that these thoughts are from an engineering mind dabbling into the art of poetry.

Random Acts of Art and Poetry is, as the name implies, an eclectic mix of light works, some humorous, some serious.

Do you need some lumpy, red, all-purpose glue to hold your life together? Do you need a new perspective on filing your income tax return this year?

Do you know what a carbuncle is? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, please, take a few moments to enter a strange world. Let your mind wander through the nooks and crannies of the ridiculous and the sublime. This might be just the escape from your screens that you’ve been waiting for. Consider dropping a copy of this book at your doctor’s or dentist’s waiting room. The folks there need a smile or a good laugh right about now. Do you know someone who has everything already?

American poets' theater emerged in the postwar period alongside the rich, performance-oriented poetry and theater scenes that proliferated on the makeshift stages of urban coffee houses, shared apartments, and underground theaters, yet its significance has been largely overlooked by critics. Acts of Poetry shines a spotlight on poets' theater's key groups, practitioners, influencers, and inheritors, such as the Poets' Theatre, the Living Theatre, Gertrude Stein, Bunny Lang, Frank O'Hara, Amiri Baraka, Carla Harryman, and Suzan-Lori Parks. Heidi R. Bean demonstrates the importance of poets' theater in the development of twentieth-century theater and performance poetry, and especially evolving notions of the audience's role in performance, and in narratives of the relationship between performance and everyday life. Drawing on an extensive archive of scripts, production materials, personal correspondence, theater records, interviews, manifestoes, editorials, and reviews, the book captures critical assessments and behind-the-scenes discussions that enrich our understanding of the intertwined histories of American theater and American poetry in the twentieth century.
