Ten Poems and Eleven Paintings, Christmas 2009 by Laurence Holden
Laurence Holden
$4.99, iPad
December, 2012
Poetry
Available on iTunes
Ten Poems and Eleven Paintings, Christmas 2009 is a book where vision and poetry gather, where sound and sight converse. These paintings and poems share something important—a concentrated form of paying attention—paying attention to what is! And what is, is both moving and still, both seen and unseen, heard and unheard. The paintings are still, yet move in our minds, thoughts, and feelings. The poems move in our minds, our thoughts, our feelings, and yet they form pooling echoes of the still and eternal present. Paintings and poems—two sides of one coin.
This electronic version includes two additional videos and is developed and adapted by Louis Leon from a handmade limited edition book the artist created and gave for a Christmas gift to friends and family in 2009.
Laurence Holden lives along Warwoman Creek in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of the US, drawing his paintings and poems from his connection to the land here. His work in paint and word are just two natural dialects for the same thing—bearing witness to the Creation. His work articulates a belief that if we can restore our understanding of the land and our relationship to it, we might save ourselves too in these perilous times.
Laurence's poems have appeared in several issues of the Chrysalis Reader, as well as in Written River, Appalachian Heritage, and The Reach of Song: The Poetry Anthology of the Georgia Poetry Society, 2011 and 2010, His work received an award of excellence from the Georgia Poetry Society in 2010 and an honorable mention from the Byron Herbert Reece Society in 2011. His paintings have appeared in over twenty solo exhibits, and are represented in over 200 public, private, and corporate collections. |

Near Waking by Dede Wilson
Finishing Line Press
$12.00, paperback
March, 2013
Poetry
Available from the publisher
"Dede Wilson's Near Waking tantalizes the reader with its energetic poems that flirt with irony and age, gracefully tip-toeing around the edges of grief with a playfulness of forms that give pleasure and insight.... This is a downright exquisite gathering of poems."
—Kathryn Stripling Byer, former N.C. Poet Laureate and recent inductee, N.C. Literary Hall of Fame
"You might feel a shiver...the chill of recognition, of glimpsing your daylight self and its shadow reflected in the same mirror, caught in those gauzy moments between dream and waking."
—Rebecca McClanahan, author of Deep Light: New and Selected Poems and The Riddle Song and Other Rememberings.
Dede Wilson is the author of four previous books of poems: Eliza: The New Orleans Years, Glass, Sea of Small Fears, and One Nightstand, a collection of light verse in forms followed by a primer to poetic form. Four poems from Eliza: The New Orleans Years were published in Nimrod as finalists for the Pablo Neruda Prize, and the poem "Yellow Fever," published as "Hydra," was nominated for a Pushcart. Her poems have appeared in Carolina Quarterly, Spoon River Poetry Review, Poet Lore, New Orleans Poetry Review, Poem, Cream City Review, Tar River Poetry, Iodine Poetry Journal, Flyway, Southern Poetry Review, Cave Wall, South Carolina Poetry Review, Asheville Poetry Review, The Lyric, Light, and many other journals. She has published short stories, essays, and a family memoir, Fourth Child, Second Daughter. Dede is a former travel editor of the Dallas Times-Herald. A native of Louisiana, she has lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, since 1967. She and her husband have two grown sons. |
