Poetry. "The imagery in Britt's poems connects itself to an idea or an emotion and is, therefore, deeper and more meaningful than embellishment or decoration. In this manner, a linguistic experience is born, one that is palpable to the five senses. No accent pieces needed-Britt does more than get close to the bone-he gets to the heart of the thing itself and makes it resonate with something deeper than exactitude. His images are painted as if vibrating, as if his letters were tuning forks. Britt's imagery, therefore, evokes a mood and meaning simultaneously"-Dr. Maura Gage, from her introduction.

<p>"Poetry and the Concept of Maya" is a textbook for poets and anyone else interested in improving their reading and enjoyment of poetry. The poetry of world-famous Alan Britt is looked at through the lens of the Hindu concept of Maya. By analyzing Britt's poetry this way, the reader is instructed on how to see through the poem, by way of its images and metaphors, into another reality behind the poem. The book also contains selected commentary on the poems themselves, as examples of how it's done, and what at least one reader sees behind them.</p>

Poetry and the Concept of Maya: A Textbook for Poets

Pony One Dog Press

<p>Poetry. Both Alan Britt and Silvia Scheibli have, on their own, established their durability as poets for decades. The idea to put the two together, not just because they are good friends and poets of a similar aesthetic, is genius. Even though each's work shows greater differences than similarities to the other's, it is just this contrast which shows the pure individual way one can nurture the same perception by way of a uniquely different set of experiences. Both intrigue and delight; neither is whimsical unless on purpose. Both are concerned with the deterioration of the environment inclusive especially of the lack of civility among human beings on the planet. Reading either poet snaps you back from the brink of this non-reality we've all been brainwashed to believe is the only true reality. Experience is everything and both Britt and Scheibli's words develop it beautifully.</p>
