A storm is circling all around us. We have known this for quite some time. The question that remains is how do we weather it? For some, it's to double down, to fight the rising tide, while others simply close their eyes, refusing to see the swelling tempest, and still others simply look to see how they can cash in on the wreckage.
Of course, I speak in metaphors for an imploding system, and the destruction it leaves in its wake. Yet, there's more to life than just surviving one looming disaster after another. So, I choose another way, to set myself adrift and let the winds and raging waters carry me where they may. For the last year and a half, I've been traveling the world, to any and every safe port I could find, for the simple reason that it was cheaper to go on an endless adventure than it was paying rent.
In the course of this nomadic sprawl, across vast seas and vanishing horizons, meeting friends both new and old, from all corners of the globe, discovering cultures and peoples we've only ever been told to be afraid of, and building with them friendship and community through music, poetry and the arts, as we learn about each other and find that regardless of where we come from, everyone basically wants the same things out of life, that no matter what government you live under, it's always the rich oppressing the poor… some things are just universal that way.
Through this journey, I've also come to realize that the storm is likewise an internal one, one in which I must create those calm seas within me, to find a true balance in life, to not only be active in this struggle we all fight just to stay afloat, but to use the time I've been given to truly make the most out of life.
The poems in this collection, a combination of those written over this period of voyage, discovery and great personal change, with others previously unpublished, work together to create a larger, much fuller vision of that perfect storm, known only as life.
"Whether you are searching for answers to questions about life, or maybe even just hoping to make sense out of each day in the face of constant stress and turmoil, Mark Lipman's new poetry collection, THE STORM, is your must-read book of the year. His poems are not only compelling for their understanding and portrayal of the complexities of life, but also remarkable for their insight, sensitivity, and most of all, their empathy as they suggest how each reader can find their own way to 'make the most out of life.'"
--Dan Speers, Poet Laureate, Haverhill, MA
"Mark's poems perpetuate the honorable legacy of such poets as Thoreau, Mayakovsky, Mandelstam, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti, Baraka, Hirschman and other revolutionaries who refuse to surrender to the isolation of individual consciousness even in times when they have the flimsiest chances of staying alive. He refuses to 'buy what they're selling' and seeks refuge 'where the food is cheap and the air is free.' Mark's poems beam with an ecological consciousness against the vain strivings of our materialist, capitalist world and urge us to embrace our humanity and connect to the great infinity, against the wars and wretchedness that we inflict on each other. Mark has been to the Berber lands of the Amazigh people where 'the only thought and prayer is that for rain and the bounty of the land.' This collection is original; it revives hope, delight and disseminates positive cosmic energy." --El Habib Louai, Moroccan Amazigh poet, translator and professor of Literature at Ibn Zohr University, Agadir, Morocco

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
