Zantippy and Friends: Poetry by the Iguana, and Other Fables of the Galaxy

The verandah, like the tombs, exposes the characters to nature and, at the same time, protects them from its invasive powers.

Poetry by the Iguana, and Other Stories

Nature encourages sexual expression but manmade structures or practices level it. Although remarkably sexualized, the terrace remains a balanced space, tinged with civilization amidst the primitive atmosphere of this specific tropical rainforest. Williams presents a place where the characters are encouraged to express sexuality without surrendering to sexual desires.

Kisses tie our mouths in a thicket of new veins, and whoever his pain pains will feel that pain forever and whoever is afraid of death will carry it on his shoulders. One day the horses will live in the saloons and the enraged ants will throw themselves on the yellow skies that take refuge in the eyes of cows.

Another day we will watch the preserved butterflies rise from the dead and still walking through a country of gray sponges and silent boats we will watch our ring flash and roses spring from our tongue. The men who still have marks of the claw and the thunderstorm, and that boy who cries because he has never heard of the invention of the bridge, or that dead man who possesses now only his head and a shoe, we must carry them to the wall where the iguanas and the snakes are waiting, where the bear's teeth are waiting, where the mummified hand of the boy is waiting, and the hair of the camel stands on end with a violent blue shudder.

A fun and exciting poetry workshop from Brian Moses

Nobody is sleeping in the sky. If someone does close his eyes, a whip, boys, a whip!

Let there be a landscape of open eyes and bitter wounds on fire. No one is sleeping in this world. No one, no one.

Doug Gunderson

I have said it before. No one is sleeping.

Peace Poetry Contest winners share poems at public reading

Peace is a uniquely human conception and affirms the human spirit. It is especially important to remember that peace is not merely a goal but a human right.

This year Gainesville VFP received poems from all grades, and the poems were judged by a panel of community poets and writers. Veterans for Peace would first and foremost like to thank all of the participants in the Peace Poetry Contest. Without the poetry submissions, there would be no Peace Poetry Contest and none of the dialogue that comes with it.

Parents and teachers also play a large role in the Peace Poetry Contest every year by encouraging their children to participate, sometimes awarding extra credit and providing other incentives. Rhonda Riley, fiction writer and longtime Gainesville resident; Ann Kennebrew, theatre maker and Executive Director of Ignite Applied Theatre; Barbara Brody, intuitive life coach and storyteller; and Syraj Syed, narrative specialist, educator, public health advocate, and community builder.
