Paumanok Poems and Pictures of Long Island - Kindle Edition
Paumanok Poems and Pictures of Long Island is an anthology of poetry about relationships, yours, mine, married to photographs, a years worth, all artists from Long Island.
"Paumanok-Transitions" is a tour de force - an impressive performance by poets, photographers and the editor and co-editors! This year-long anthology of poems and photographs begins each month with Whitman's words which transition the reader from the past to the present. The illuminating poems in this anthology lead the reader backward and forward at the same time - an oxymoron, a feat only possible with words. The poetic words in these pages document transitions of the personal, spiritual, social, sexual, emotional and political, akin to Whitman's own journey - when he went forth as a child from his Birthplace into the world as a builder's apprentice, journalist, essayist, newspaper founder, Civil War nurse, novelist, poet and Comerado. His fellow travelers in this volume vividly relate their transitions with spontaneous awareness or aching recall - involving a movement or shift that is transformative for both poet and reader.
