Reproduction of Nutcracker IV Bright by Ryan Fowler
Ryan Fowler — "Nutcracker IV Bright" presents a compelling synthesis of traditional iconography and contemporary graphic design. The artwork aligns with the Modern Pop movement, a trend that emerged in the late 20th century as artists sought to bridge the gap between fine art and popular culture. Fowler’s stylized rendering of the nutcracker—a figure steeped in 19th-century Romanticism and the ballet tradition—demonstrates a deliberate departure from realism, embracing instead a bold, illustrative aesthetic. The composition is characterized by a strong central axis, with the figure’s symmetrical form creating a sense of formal balance and visual stability. Negative space plays a critical role, enhancing the figure’s prominence and allowing the viewer’s eye to rest on the key elements: the snowflake-adorned hat, the expressive face, and the ornate uniform. The color palette, dominated by stark black and white with accents of gold and red, leverages high contrast to create visual impact, a technique reminiscent of early 20th-century poster art. This work functions as both a celebration of holiday folklore and a commentary on the commodification of cultural symbols in the modern era. Its graphic clarity and thematic resonance position it within a broader tradition of narrative illustration that values accessibility and emotional engagement over technical virtuosity. As such, "Nutcracker IV Bright" stands as a testament to the enduring power of symbolic imagery and the artist’s ability to recontextualize the familiar for a new generation.For more art by Ryan Fowler click here.

New Trope for Me
Format: Kindle
The Prologue alone was the funniest thing I've read all year.
I LOVE the fact Everly gets her own pov, it allow the story to flow so smoothly. Plus she's hysterical.
I laughed so hard reading this book, I had tears in my eyes.
A surrogacy romance is a new one for me, but I went in open minded. And if anything I definitely have a new found respect for the practice. I love that Amy Daws did not glaze over the surrogacy process, and took the time to include the different practices and barriers one might encounter.
While this book can be read as standalone, I personally wished I started with Last On the List (Max's book) to get a proper introduction.
We of course know how the book would end, I still found there to be so many twist and turns. Especially when Trista had that heart to heart with her sister.
I believe this was a great start to the series, it made me look forward to the next book, which I immediately started reading.
My biggest issue I had with this story was it seemed like Trista often took advantage of Wyatt, basically from the moment she met Everly. And when confronted about anything she played the "pity me I grew up poor and unloved" card. At first it was funny, but then I'm like hmmm are you punishing this man because he grew up loved and well off. She often wants him to respect her boundaries, but could care less about his. No means no lady . She some what redeemed herself in the end, but I still struggled to connect with Trista as a whole.

Gets the Creative Juices Flowing
Format: Paperback
I picked up this book after hearing Kim Addonizio give a reading at my college when I was an undergraduate. Creative Writing and poetry were my areas of emphasis and although we used a different textbook in my poetry class, I came to love this one. It won't give you the formal training in meter and poetic forms that another textbook might, but I love the examples and the prompts for inspiration. It's my favorite book to turn to when I feel the creative well is running dry. It's warm and funny and you feel a real presence from the authors as if you have teachers with you. I haven't met Dorianne Laux, but I have chatted with Kim Addonizio twice after readings and she was lovely. (Her readings are fantastic, by the way, and I highly recommend them!)
If you are familiar with Kim Addonizio'ss poems then you shouldn't be surprised to find a section on erotic poetry in this book. Erotic poems have a long tradition in poetry and they are not "porn" as one reviewer suggested. Sexuality and sensuality are part of life and the artistic expression of such is a special skill set. I think it's fantastic that this book doesn't sensor that.
I love the examples chosen for this book--many beautiful, contemporary poems that utilize vivid and unexpected imagery. I find them inspiring. They make me want to write and they make me want to be a better writer.
I do believe that if you are a beginner or if you are considering this book as a textbook for a class you should consider it as a supplement to a book that goes into a little more depth in certain areas, such as Writing Poems (see if you can get an older edition, if you are lucky, as I see this book has become quite expensive). But this is a fantastic little book and I love having both a hard copy to underline and put notes in and a Kindle copy to keep with me on my phone so I can have a little inspiration with me for easy access.
No matter where you are in your journey as a poet, I believe this is a wonderful book to have in your library.

Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars
Format: Paperback
Received brand new book in perfect condition for less than ten dollars. I needed this exact book for a creative writing course and I enjoy the exercises within the different sections. They are very thought provoking and creativity stimulating and would be excellent inspiration for any poetic or even descriptive writer. Also, I find the writing style of the author amazingly easy to read. It is simple and straightforward, easy to follow and not boring as some other texts are. The tone is inspirational honestly, always providing tips and writing encouragement. This is a nice positive twist and delightful different perspective for aspiring writers and though it sounds to be directed at amateurs, I think any author who may experience writer's block at times could find this useful and full of insight to try out fresh perspectives to pen about topics that may be applied to a broad range of subjects. Quality informative and yet uplifting text regarding poetic writing!

Practical, Useful, Down to Earth, Inspiring!
Format: Paperback
I love this book. After reading the first chapter early one morning I went outside to feed and water my cats and came in and wrote a poem about flowing water, tangled morning glories and memories of my mother. It's one of the most inspiring, practical and encouraging books about writing poetry that I've ever read, and trust me, I've read them all. It has technical information and poems to illustrate each chapter, which is very helpful. The suggestions at the end of each chapter are down to earth and do-able, unlike some books that are just too high-minded for the average person. If you love to write poems and just need some inspiration and a little advice and encouragement, then definitely buy this book. It's worth its weight in gold!

Took me by surprise 😮
Format: Paperback
The revised part of my review:
I do agree with a reviewer; Thomas "Should Have Been Better" Especially his paragraph here: [Unless (like the authors) you think that Sharon Olds' "passing blood and feces and water" and her "stool black with iron pills" (page 234) are high points in the world of modern poetry, you may resist their suggestion to "read all five of her books, for pleasure first, of course, but secondly to examine how she goes about her difficult task" (page 47).]
As I have read more, I am reevaluating my own opinions of this book. I still feel it has been helpful, although much of it I would have preferred to have never read! Poor choice of examples to a student indeed!
This, is my original review:
I thought it was going to be a bunch of lame assignments, well there definitely are some assignments so to speak. I haven't even made it through half of the 1st chapter and I've written 6 or 7 new reflections (which some call poetry)! It digs deep, at least it did for me...pretty personal when you open yourself up to it. Good challenge and good lessons to glean from and grow as a writer. I still plan on keeping this around, probably with a few pages removed.
