Margie Shaheed

4.9/5 (33302 ratings)

Description:Of Margie's work, people have written:*Dream Catcher is another word for the poet Margie Shaheed, who gathers pieces of life in her net from both her own experience and the evening news. These poems name names and cultural moments. Their scope is large. They draw attention to racial oppression, to incarceration as the new slavery. They celebrate heroes who heal us, like George Washington Carver and Colin Kaepernick. They call out puritanical hypocrisy, affirming the body and love. They sing the ordinary and the not-so-ordinary in a series of haiku. Shaheed offers elegies for an educator, a blues singer, a sister, and the victims of unjust law enforcement....The poet listens, filing nuggets away for when the time for writing comes, when she creates startling images like “a palm full of brown sugar/thrown into a pot of boiling corn” and striking figures like “grandchildren sewn into the hem” of a skirt.Charlene Fix, Professor Emeritus, English Columbus College of Art & Design* Margie Shaheed’s resonant poetic voice is teeming with keen insight on life and the human condition. Her observations of reality and skillful narrative compel one to listen intently.Vince Robinson, poet, photographer, musician*In a literary world of fantasy and make believe, Dream Catcher presents an in-the-moment pulse for the reader to experience our vigorous world. This is a collection of work with a sundry canvas of simplistic characters yet beautifully audacious words, challenging the art of gravity with sullen and euphoric truths.Nikki Skies, author, poet, playwright*Margie Shaheed's Dream Catcher poems are eloquently woven word quilts. Life filled, sensual, powerful, tender, courageous and unapologetic, her poems are beautiful, richly crafted testaments, written by a woman who knows and understands life. Her poems...remind us why we read and love poetry. Clearly, she is one of America's leading and unique voices of poetry.Lorraine Currelley, founder and executive director of Poets Network & Exchange, Inc.Dream Catcher contains 29 poems on 32 pages, printed on thick white textured paper.
