Carla Kreuser Illustrator. Quotes by Iain S. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. In the poem, I float up with her between the desert and the blue sky and the white clouds and I get to hug her goodbye.
Recently, I started thinking about who I would call if the world was ending and what I would say to them, and about what I would feel and what I would want to do.
You can read the collection by clicking here. The writing is inspired by the need to connect and to be intimate during this time of incredible disconnection and turbulence, on a political, sociological and even biological level. I hope you phone the people you love and tell them you love them. I hope you celebrate what you love in the streets safely. Today is the launch day of Pleasefindthis Art click here to go straight there — A curated collection of fine-art prints containing lines from my poems, illustrations, patterns and more taken from my previous and even some not-yet-released volumes of best-selling prose and poetry.
We looked around and wanted something in our home for my own family that reminded us of what was important and brought some light and colour to our spaces and so I started working towards making that real — almost everything you see on the site is up, framed and hanging in my own home.
Our homes should be places that energise and inspire us to live a life filled with meaning, wonder and delight in small spaces and large. I hope I can bring that to yours. And if you have suggestions or ideas, send me an email at art iainsthomas. Something in a different colour? Would you like a personalised version of one of my poems?
Let me know. But Trista was great. Her words, in between breaths, were beautiful, and heartfelt and sincere and made people quiet in that wonderful way that people sometimes get at poetry readings. The point is, even under duress, and maybe especially under duress, Trista is a machine that takes the world and the relationships she has in it and spins it all into sentences that have tension and drama and forgiveness and anger and love, so much love, lost and found and every shade and tint in-between those two distant points.
Examples of this litter her new work, When The Stars Wrote Back, a collection of nameless poems interspersed with handwriting and beautiful illustrations that capture the strangeness and unique tenderness of being human in a universe like this one, where we love and forget how to stop loving, as she writes,. Sometimes I like to think you still fall asleep like I do, reaching out for me like I keep reaching out for you. What if I love you forever? What if it never goes away? What if I forget my own name and only remember yours?
When The Stars Wrote Back is a beautiful book and I hope that, especially now, in this dark apocalyptic, endless fucking hellscape of a moment in the world we find ourselves in, that you treat yourself to it and if not, that you find something just as beautiful.
