St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2024 – the date that marked the launch of Echoes Lost in Stars written by PS Conway and published by Literary Revelations (my small independent press). St. Patrick’s is a day that our Patrick loves. Look at his name: PS Conway – all Irish.
We strategized for a while and on the morning of St. Patrick’s Day we launched the book. All authors that I have published became Amazon #1 bestsellers in various categories. Patrick was to become one of them too because he deserved it.

Patrick and I start the campaign. We are all over the social media: X, FB, IG, b ..read more

Dear friends,
Below please find my reading of the poem “Dedication” included in Echoes Lost in Stars, by PS Conway. Literary Revelations is proud to publish Patrick’s book on March 17, 2024.
For now I hope you enjoy this poem.
DEDICATION
dedicated to my Susan
my Muse when
the sun refuses to enlighten me
heighten my senses
see things more bright
even midst the depths of night
when stars remind me
that all is lost
that all is empty and bare
she takes my hand
guides me to a place where
loves lies hidden
seductive and deep
she keeps my heart
secure in that darkness
my angel ~ my Elpis

The following is a fragment from my poem Fear of Death published in my collection Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings (Vita Brevis Press, 2020).
ah, I forgot to tell you when I meet you in my dreams
Arabella still sells bracelets in the silver market
she asks me every time about you
while lizards run their greens into the nearby parkette
I lie and promise her you’ll come next time
to buy another bracelet and some juicy limes
now in the silence of long purple nights
the silver bracelets do not hurt my flesh at all
but every minute you are not with me
cuts yet another wou ..read more

[From my poetry collection Woman: Splendor and Sorrow :I Love Poems and Poetic Prose.]
Between the bed and the window, in that space that smells roses and rien que pour toi, the morning lets her hair down. She is so close that I can reach her skin with the tip of my fingers.
I know … his book and the fame it brought him. The book in which he made me – the me that he imagined – the main character.
He was fascinated by the purple of my makeup and the yellows of my cobra, who used to erect the upper portion of her body to greet him every time he visited.

Dear Readers,
Yesterday, June 17 2022, Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women became a #1 Amazon bestseller! As your editor and curator and am deeply honored and excited. So are your publisher, Ingrid Wilson, and I suspect all authors who know about.
Does it say #1 and #2 in New Releases in Poetry Anthologies? That is because both editions of Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women the kindle edition, and the paperback were #1. However, you cannot have #1 twice in Hot New Releases, so we ended up #1 and #2. Taken separately you could see both editions were running #1.
