Reading Room Collection

  • Here's another rich meal with our "Tell The Sorrow Joy" booklet as centerpiece, and numerous poems arranged like delicious foods around it, all of the dishes being  episodes of life when Joy was told to the poet's Sorrows.
  • Booklet of 44 letter-size pages meant to be printed front and back on 22 sheets of paper.  Interior is black & white.  For the front and back covers, your choice of black & white or full color so if cheap printing there you go.
  • Our coach's primer for Freedom Storytelling,
    ... Which you know is very condensed,  ...  (That booklet is our favorite poem.)
    ... Another rich meal with that booklet-poem as our meal's CENTERPIECE and other dishes,  ...  All of them chosen from the heaps of produce we've had accumulating since the poet's voyage of 2019 first shoved off the pier with a heading for Akashick Shamon Seas,
    ... Or else newly written  ...  All of it novelistically delving some theme,
    ... A meal with those equally rich dishes piled around "Tell The Sorrow Joy", our Freedom Storytelling primer.
    ... There are many of these strange and interesting growths, in the Army Stories Book {Look}  , there with other centerpieces,  ...  But this is the first one constructed here in "Poems For The Future Series".
  • As you know, "Tell The Sorrow Joy" uses examples from the poet's life.
    > For our coach was a champion in that pugnacious, contentious, and wild pursuit of the Ancient Welsh bards in Olden Days, brandishing their harps against one another, in the kitchen door, with half a winter's lodging, soup, sandwiches, and a gold watch fob at stake ....  Storytelling.
    > But here's this new booklet supposedly "a rich meal" with SORROW TOLD JOY as the CENTERPIECE of entertainment, a very rich offer of CLASSICAL ADVENTURE worthy of great comic books indeed, in which you might enjoy turning a few pages at random in it, thus at least embarking for a metaphoric poetic river cruise I guess,
    ... That now, instead of lesser things that did serve well enough last year in the "Army Stories Book", some of my ideas as accretion crystals in a large sauce pan of taffy just before boil, or something, lesser things as conceptual centers in an old man ad hoc MEDICAL CHAPLAIN's paperback memoirs. {Look}
    > THEREFORE.. All dishes piled around the centerpiece here are vivid deeply delved points, moments, magic works, and theories,
    ... From this wild poet's own adventurings in Ink and Sea and Land and Spirit,
    ... But in this booklet, all of the examples are moments when Joy was told to the poet's Sorrows.

    SEGUES to informing the reader of our wonderful booklet "Tell The Sorrow Joy".   That is our coaching book to help you do transformative Freedom Stortelling.  Which is elsewhere in this download list.

Poems For The Future Meme Sheet
A small poster or a source mine for social media art.

  • If printing, use 2 LEDGER-size pages, sheets 11in x 17in = 28cm x 43cm.
  • Also okay to print front/back of one sheet if it's heavy paper.
  • Also you can shrink image down to small sheets but fine print becomes illegible.
  • Color is simple all low-data.
  • If you print it, it makes a visually attractive, intellectually intriguing, and conceivably mind blowing, small poster.
  • But really my main design concept was this:   Open the pdf file on your screen, cruise around and find a meme, snip a copy of it, and post the snip image, by some means, on the web.
  • So it's Memes For The Future, a library of them, and there's a longer poem on the back.
