For readers and writers, with Poetry Life and Times: Multilingual

This issue is dedicated to our brothers and sisters in Tibet, Burma and Darfur

Dear Poets and Readers,

§ April's edition kicks off our second bi-monthly issue 2008 with some new features.

In place of our regular cover interview, we introduce Richard Vallance's masterpiece Sappho's Odes.

These Odes have been entirely reconstructed through the poet's
imagination from the existing fragments in their original Greek form.
As the work is quite extensive (six Odes), their full publication will
be done serially in this and the forthcoming issue.

§ Sara Russell is contributing her Song of Makeda, the Queen of Sheba's reply to The Song of Solomon

§ We are also pleased to introduce as a new Resident Poet, our old friend, worldwide web famous, the one&only Jim Dunlap. We look forward to his regular contributions, together with Mike Burch, author of The HyperTexts -which features the work of many modern poets, Canadian Helga Ross and Sara Russell with her Norris Cartoons, as well as yours truly, the present editors.

τω τις ἔραται· πά]γχυ δ΄ εὔμαρες σύνετον πόησαι

π]άντι τ[ο]ῦτ΄͵ ἀ γὰρ πόλυ περσκέθοισα

κάλλος [ἀνθ]ρώπων Ἐλένα [τὸ]ν ἄνδρα

§ Featured poets this month include --in random order: Richard Vallance, Gary Beck, Elisha Porat, James Schwartz, Marianne Zirkle,
Tendai Rinos Mwanaka and Richard Doiron.

§ A full perusal of Poetry Life and Times is quite a read & bear in mind there are ten years of Archives
--yes we are now running for more than ten years--, accessible to the
devoted reader, whilst at our friendly link section, access can be
gained to further poetry sites.
§ Good luck, with the The Song of Makeda (Makeda, the Queen of Sheba’s reply
to The Song of Solomon), by Sara Russell.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

§

The HyperTexts is looking for poetry about Darfur, for poetry for
Darfur, for poets who support Darfur, and for poems of solidarity
with our brothers and sisters in Darfur. We are also asking for the United
States and the world to understand that when the United States acts
unilaterally, "all hell breaks loose." So it's up to the United Nations and the
nations and peoples of the earth to come together to resolve crises that
involve such horrible bloodshed, rape, mutilation and impoverishment as we are
currently seeing in the
Sudan. Genocide is the world's problem, a symptom of the "heart
disease" and "mental illness" that plagues humanity.
We must also challenge all religions of the world to denounce
genocide, bloodshed, brutality, slavery, inequality and intolerance.
Surely, if God is Love, then love, mercy and compassion are the
watchwords of true religion. If you have poetry or prose that might be
suitable for this page, please make your submission to THT editor
Michael R. Burch at
mburch@aocg.com.

Comment by Sage Sweetwater on May 3, 2008 at 7:50pm: Greetings PL&T,

From the desk of Sage Sweetwater stopping in to congratulate you on the CTI Spotlight for last period. It has been such an honor being in your gracious company. I want to take this time to also thank you for inviting me for two of Poetry Life & Times Cover Interviews and also for publishing my poetry in two issues in both 2006 and 2007. It has really in fact, boosted my fan base and readership which expands the globe. I truly appreciate it Amparo, Robin, and Sara. Keep up the good work. PL&T expands the poetic boundaries in which makes us all richer with wisdom and introduces us to the great world poets...

Warmly,
Sage

I have been offered a contract with WL poetry Agents. I have researched this company with Google, perhaps the members here would like to do the same and find out just what poets are up against?

1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity. Applicants should be at least 17 years old and members are allowed one full profile per person.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
