The Book of Flowers, Birds, and Kisses (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There was a period before my divorce (one and only) I was an avid reader of Pablo Neruda. And Love Sonnets appealed to me a great deal, so much so that my wife and I used one his sonnets at our wedding. So for many years she and I had a wonderful marriage and I wrote many a love poem.

This is a collection of love poems, not just of a man to a woman, but a man to the world, nature, etc.

It stands out in my works, for its focus on a certain theme, and it's light-heartedness, which sometimes is not the case.

I think many of them are quite beautiful, and in my writing them I paid homage to that which would bring two people so close together that, as Neruda puts, the sleepers can no longer distinguish their hand from the others.

Autorenporträt

I've been writing for a very long time, what seems like my whole life, taking it seriously from the time I was about 11. Now, at 46, I think I may be starting to get the hang of it: Say what you feel, as passionately as you can, but always with an ear turned to those who are listening.
Most of my more serious work is done at live performances, which i do totally extemporaneously, channeling the mood of the room as my fingers play on the guitar. You can see some of that if you go to "my" website. (Open Mics Austin is a platform I created to showcase the Spoken Word scene here in Austin, TX. Only a small role in which i play.)
As far as I can tell what makes good writing is LOVE. Love ,plainly simply, and with no strings attached.
I put these words/books before you, not so much because I want something back from it, because I think and feel like I feel my bones and my soul, if you were to see the world, experience it like it do, for even a brief moment, you would walk away from that happier, more alive, compassionate and in tune with all those around you.
Peace, good will, and harmony. Let those be your guiding light.
Agape forever,
Scott Vanya
