NEW POEM  

With all that has been going on in my life, these past few months, since my move to the coast, it’s been a while since I published anything new, so here’s a new poem ‘In between’ that has just been published on the website. See: http://www.scotthastie.com/?p=5856As ever, comments and/or personal responses always very welcome…

In between

The doors

To the known

And the unknown,

This where we can

Get lost altogether,

If we don’t take care.

Our spirit

Destined to wither,

If we hesitate

And let this miasma be.

See how

So many planets  

Timelessly

Circle their sun,

Such ardent yearning

For fertile valleys

Never once fulfilled!

Truly, in the shadow

Of such doleful majesty,

We are forever young!

And for that blessing

Alone,

We must always  

Be looking to take

The unique

And fabulous chances

We’ve been given

Whilst we still can.

NEW POEM

Only just newly published on the website… This time round, a much sweeter piece for early Spring…

See - ‘To know’ - http://www.scotthastie.com/?p=6030

To know

True beauty

Is to never

Be a slave again.

This such

Sweet music

To my heart.

So, shall

I do my best

To settle here awhile,

Amidst treasures

That still prevail

Somehow,

As if to appease heaven.

Call me the breeze then,

As I pass on through.

Hoping I too

Will bring the best

Of my presence

To bear.

Leaving behind me

At least

Some sweet song

For others to hear.

As promised, my last poem of the year is a bit grittier than the last one published in the Autumn/Fall. Nevertheless, I hope it still resonates…

PRESS RELEASE - Summer 2021.

SCOTT HASTIE

 Scott Hastie is a successful British born poet and writer, who has been has been commercially published in the UK for over thirty years now. He currently has no fewer than fourteen titles in print, including a novel and eight collections of poetry, all of which also available in e book format.

Scott's current poetry is very much a positive and sparkling affirmation of human potential, with a growing emphasis on spiritual awareness and, in recent years especially, the spiritual tone in his maturing poetic voice is starting to draw increasing acclaim and attention from a worldwide audience, especially in the U.S. Asia & the Middle East.

Given the sudden and unexpected impact made in 2013 by some of his work, first published in the soulful and beautifully designed anthology Meditations, a much more comprehensive collection of all his more recent work, entitled Angel Voices was soon brought forward for publication by Centuria the following year,

Then, only two years later in 2016 and somewhat miraculously, along came Threads... Quickly establishing itself as the signature collection of Scott Hastie's poetry at that time... A real breakthrough volume, since widely translated and published to worldwide acclaim, covering as it does the sheer scale of this stunning poet's sublime creative journey.

Scott then threw himself headlong into an extended period of personal spiritual investigation, the fruits of which eventually arrived in the form of an entirely fresh and significant collection of brand new work, entitled Pranic Poetry, eventually published in March 2020.

Seemingly always destined to be released at the very beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, this volume really struck a chord with readers all around the world. Hence the accelerated release of his first fully retrospective collection Timeless: the best of Scott Hastie's poetry 1990-2020 and it's companion volume Splinters of Light: quotations from the poetry of Scott Hastie. The planned publication of both these titles soon being advanced by six months, into the autumn of the same year, to help satisfy the ever accelerating international demand for his work.

"It is at times like these that we need the fairest glimpses of hope, rejuvenation and a deeper understanding of the potential to realize our very best - especially in the face of such on-going adversity. Perhaps this is why Scott Hastie's poetry achieves such an impact and is so well received around the world."

"Scott Hastie’s writing inspires such clarity of thought, perception and heartfelt compassion for the emotional rainbow that is the human spectrum of existence, shedding multitudes of color and light where otherwise there might have only been storms, darkness, sorrow and pain, all without any real hope of joy and redemption.” 

"Timeless is surely an appropriate trademark for some highlights of Scott Hastie’s body of work to date. After all, he has produced some of the most gallant and elegant poetry of the 20th & 21st Centuries."

"As in deep prayer, the quotes in Splinters of Light will bring you to the depths within your soul. These are not quotes you can read only once. They will call you to write them and paste them on mirrors and desks as constant reminders of who you really are and the true meaning of your life. These quotes will feed you in places you didn't know you were hungry. A marvellous poetic work."

Interest grew to such a level following the publication of both Timeless and Splinters that it was quickly then decided to also re-issue his two earliest 'Younger Man' collections, Selected Poetry and New Poetry (first published in 1991 and 1995 respectively) as ebooks. Both of which also went on to receive levels of acclaim that only confirmed Scott Hastie’s new-found popularity around the world.

Fortunately, it is already very easy to freely dip into Scott Hastie's poetic writing. Samples from his whole back catalogue of poetry are readily available at his highly visual and popular new web site, which freely displays samples of both his already published and latest unpublished work.

As a writer, Scott is very open and likes to encourage maximum participation and feedback from his readers. His web site offers the chance to post comments, both on individual pieces or more generally... The site encourages more general dialogue about writing and Scott offers mentoring services to other creative writers/students around the world.

Scott is also passionate about visiting and learning from other cultures and his web site offers the bonus of featuring many fascinating images and glimpses from his extensive travels around the world.

NEW POEM… A somewhat defiant poem for springtime ‘The Spark’ has just been published on the website. See below:

New Poem – ‘The Spark’ - http://www.scotthastie.com/?p=5792

The spark

In a void,

Once only a shell.

A curl,

A husk of life,

A chrysalis

Waiting to burst.

Awakening

Becomes

A morning look

That welcomes

Warmth,

No sour or arid

Sleep now.

Such rising spirit

A swelling mound,

A fine, fresh

Moist prominence

Of sorts,

Eager to receive

Such gain.

Pressing, breasting,

Poised

To leave its mark.

And yes,

We all leave

Such stains,

Such energies behind us,

For there’s

No other way

To be generous here.

Giving back

Gloriously

At our own expense

Into a rinsing bowl

Of tears.

The sparkle

Of our dreams

Caught threadbare,

Between the cracks.

Despite all the challenges we are currently facing, the enduring power of love, as well as the very best of us, shines on still… A new poem for Autumn/Fall - ‘By dint…’ has just been published on the website. See: http://www.scotthastie.com/?p=5839

By dint of

So many undulations

Of faith, of mettle,

Of resolve

On the surface of this,

Our mortal struggle.

What finely tuned

Definition

There is already

In the story,

The pattern,

The textured travail

Of our lives.

As if encoded

Permanently

On some shiny

Lacquered disc.

Such that

One could imagine

We might well

Be tempted one day

To gather up

Some vast audience

And sing our hearts out.

But why

Should we

Ever need to,

My friend?

When all we love

We have given

Our hearts to...

All we honour

And still hold to be true...

Will still ring out

So loudly,

Long after we’ve gone.
