The series of anthologies: These Human Shores, of which this book is the first, will explore the nature of life from birth to death. The theme of this book was chosen by our founder, Ron Wiseman. As editor of These Human Shores, he has creatively and wisely chosen poems that will not only celebrate life, but will reawaken the feelings we all have about the wonder and splendor of living. The fountains of words that are displayed upon these pages speak from the lives of brilliant poets from all over the world. From wise words to enchanting tales and funny stories of babyhood, through the vast array of stories and anecdotes of toddlerhood, this book describes the beginning of life from many perspectives, then it becomes much more reflective as we bring you the greatest treasures of life: "Memories through sessions of sweet silent thought". We laugh, we cry, we smile, we sigh and most of all we affirm life itself. This is life, this is poetry, this is love.

With this 64th issue, Prism is celebrating ten years of publishing international poetry, a milestone none of us would have thought possible In this special edition, we honour a few departed poets who used to be Prism members, some of them very active poets and very interesting thinkers and writers - then continue with the winners of the Prism 10th-Anniversary Celebration competitions, followed by selected poems.

This is the sixty-third edition of our favourite anthology, which provides 'spring into summer' poems, dedications to mothers, fathers, and more, as well as our usual harvest of nature poems, philosophical musings, humorous rhymes, haiku and other short poems.

This sixty-second Prism anthology will provide some quiet space for reflection, places to stroll through, times to go back to, memories to share, tales of interesting people to get acquainted with, seasonal poems to enjoy, and more...

This is the sixtieth issue of our favourite poetry anthology. This December edition features poems of late autumn going into winter, November and December holidays, as well as the usual mix of nature, wisdom, humour and love poems. There is enough Christmas magic in this book to please every reader

Our August 2022 poetry anthology speaks of summer, beach and vacation, of course, but let us not forget the usual themes that inspire poets, from nature to human interaction, wisdom, self-observation (with humour often), times and places to visit, grandparents and grandchildren... in a variety of forms and styles that we hope everyone enjoys
