Announcing: End of Earth – Kindle Exclusive!

Poet Nolcha Fox and Artist Mike Armstrong have known each other for over 30 years. It is only natural that this would result in an amazing collaboration. “End of Earth – A Collaboration of Poetry and Painting” is the result. The rich, colorful, expression of art by Armstrong encouraged Fox’s poetic muse to create these thought-provoking poems. Such a collaboration is like no other and, well, you must see this for yourself. It is a little book with a big WOW factor. This would make a lovely gift for art and poetry lovers.

What do others have to say?

End of Earth, a Collaboration of Poetry and Painting, by Nolcha Fox and Mike Armstrong is ekphrastic art at its finest, a seamless coming together of vibrant brushstrokes and memorable lines in poem after poem. From “They circle” we have “Ah, they are money vampires. / They tell me they can hook me up, / no, cook me up in style.” The wit, music, and metaphors that comprise Nolcha Fox’s style are alive and well in End of Earth; it contains some of her best recent work. She is our contemporary Emily Dickinson, but also an original, fulfilling the potential of her poetic self in this new book.

Without a doubt, Nolcha Fox is the most interesting, inventive writer of poetry on the scene today.

Happy Earth Day 2019

Today is important
and tomorrow is too
to take care of the planet
it’s here for me and you

There is this one day
to help us be aware
that this is the earth
of which we’re to care

Sometimes it’s good
to be reminded, it’s true
because if we don’t do this
it affects all we do

Take just a moment this day,
then tomorrow
for taking the time to care
we will know less sorrow

What we have is given
of this we are aware
what we have could be lost
if we don’t so our share

Let’s take a moment to say
Happy Earth Day 2019
and let’s keep it happy
for futures unseen
