Story
In the second Domesticated installment, East Anglian punk poet James Domestic is once again taking potshots at work, so-called-punk-rock, outdoor and indoor pursuits, aging, right wing lunatics, politics, feet, and himself. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also find his trademark surrealism, sarcasm, and quintessentially British whimsy applied to animals, emails, food, and the power of music, alongside his idiosyncratic illustrations, and photographs from his murky past.

Story
It seems that you have come across my book of poems. These poems are inspired by every day life challenges. I became very sick with long covid, and the only thing that got me through was prayer, my family, and writing. I stopped talking to someone very close to me, and became very close to me, and it was very hard.

Story
In the beginning, the world is spoken into existence with one word: “Earth.” There are no inhabitants, and no sun—only the broad sky, silent sea, and sovereign Framer and Shaper. Then come the twin heroes Hunahpu and Xbalanque. Wielding blowguns, they begin a journey to hell and back, ready to confront the folly of false deities as well as death itself, in service to the world and to humanity. This is the story of the Mayan Popol Vuh, “the book of the woven mat,” one of the only epics indigenous to the Americas.

Creativity is the mark of poetry as it sings our senses in appreciation and realizes another perspective to what surrounds us. Another poem, another realm of understanding. Poetry affords one to a taste of strength of suggestion that whets the palate very differently to the manner in which a fictional or non-fictional novel cannot achieve. Enjoy your journey through this book as your listening material companion.
