A few Words on Tracey’s Poetry:

Thank you everyone for your support. Have a great week.
My Dear Followers,
I am thrilled to let you know that Literary Revelations will publish Full Moon Confessions by Tracey Anne, an excellent poetry book on September 22 (tentative date)
Here is a magnificent poem from Tracey’s book:
Autumn in Paradise
Lovers of a forbidden tale
paisley teardrops sewn on my veil
hidden truth of parting pain
tracing rainbows through the rain
love is a game
and I dare not blame
the trembling leaves
or the autumn breeze
for at least we once believed
in our own fairytale
Wishing everyone a beautiful new week!
I write to let you know that Literary Revelations is thrilled to reveal the full cover for the highly anticipated poetry collection, “Full Moon Confessions” by the talented poet Tracey Anne. This stunning book features gorgeous poetry that will captivate your heart and soul.
Tentative release date: end of September
The art for “Full Moon Confessions” was created by the award-winning Japanese artist Hikari, whose breathtaking work perfectly complements the lyrical beauty of Tracey Anne’s words. Sheer artistry and emotion radiate from Hikai’s art and the design that Iuliana Irimia created for the cover.
“Full Moon Confessions” is a must-read for poetry lovers and anyone seeking a profound, introspective journey. With Hikari’s masterful cover art, this book is sure to become a treasured addition to your literary collection. Stay tuned for more updates on the official release date.
It is my pleasure to read one of Tracey’s poems included in the book.
Cherry Blossom Dream
Cherry blossom skies
captured me
with your mischievous smile
a kiss
irresistible sweet lips
a playful tease
come and go as you please
promise to be there for spring
and forget to mention
you’ll flee before our love story begins
Thank you for the visit!

a zephyr blowing
pink cherry blossoms in spring
falling like snow
open air museum
by the old thatched windmill
yellow tulips bloom

Happy Monday. May you have a fabulous week ahead. As some of you may know Literary Revelations will publish Echoes Lost in Stars, a wonderful poetry book by PS Conway, on March 17, 2024.
Below is my reading of the poem “gentle” included in Echoes Lost in Stars. I hope you enjoy it.
gentle, the night breeze sighs
warm upon my cheek
breathing short and gaspt along my ear
sliding soft and tender ‘cross star-bared shoulders
eyes close
lips part
gentle, the night breeze sighs
full into my soul
pleading long and thick upon my heart
searching hard and ancient anent my source
eyes widen
spirit departs
i am, the night breeze sighs

born anew
to live in such gratitude
born anew – because of you
each sunrise feels warmer
when you hug me – hold me
each garnet sip of wine
tastes thicker – burns richer
to kiss those lips so full
then swim again in those eyes
each moment of quiet
reveals “us” in the silence
all goodness paid forward
so selfless – such kindness
to be your forever
born anew – because of you
alive in such gratitude
PS Conway

Dear Readers,
As of this writing Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women is still running #1 on Amazon New Releases [poetry anthologies]. I cannot tell you how humbled and delighted I am. The poetry in this volume is fabulous. Your voices deserve to be heard.
I will be interviewed by New York Glamour Magazine about our book. I will post the link when the interview is published.
Below is my one of my readings from Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women: Beginnings, by Jo Lynn Juneau. I hope you enjoy it. I hope it inspires you to start reading your own poems.
Beginnings
by Jo Lynn Juneau
Cast out of Paradise, Eden’s perpetual exiles
the surreptitious serpent, now lies crushed under our feet
God took a lesser part of Man, and created from it the strength of humanity
we bear the world in our wombs, and bear its weight on our shoulders
we suffer the pain of giving life, so we suffer death differently
we are harbingers of antiquity and the future
we are Goddess
we are Mother
we are One
UPDATE:
Since June 17 Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women has been a #1 Amazon bestseller. As I write this update it still is. Thank you to everyone who helped us. We would not be #1 without you.
Check our publisher Experiments in Fiction‘s post here to see a picture of our book in a bookstore in UK. It is exciting. The book is fantastic. It deserves to be read. It deserves to be in bookstores.
Have a lovely day and thank you for spreading the word about our anthology.

I am humbled by Swarn’s [@theedemaruh] decision to read two of my poems: Prayer published by Free Verse Revolution, and I Want My Body Burned included in my poetry collection Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings.
Swarn captured and deepened the meaning of my poems. The tone and the execution of the readings are superb. They are a testimony of his great talent. While listening to his recitation I asked myself: Can he see into my soul? It certainly felt that way.
A note to you my dear readers. It is not about how many followers you have. It is about their quality. It’s about how they can enrich your life, and how you can enrich theirs.
As the song goes:
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
– Bob Dylan
Please listen to Swarn’s readings.
Two beautiful poems are now up at MasticadoresUSA.
Read Beloved by David Gittlin here.
