Magical Trains/Strange Fire: A Collection of Old and New Poems

By Gabriel Emanuel

Don't settle not for buses or hostages north winds or no names demand shower heads in slum baths drink not from the bottle but from the glass let warm food be hot throw back the cat fish take off your rubber reject electronic tranquilizers and lovers who just want to be friends satisfied like vice-presidents or dead tax payers waiting for a refund. -From "Don't Settle" (Magical Trains) Magical Trains/Strange Fire is a collection of poems written by the author since he first started writing poetry at the age of eighteen. This is a selection of some of the poems that have survived the elements and the years. The poems are on a variety of topics but mostly they are about matters of the heart. Gabriel Emanuel is a Canadian born writer and lawyer (Canada/Israel) and the author of two published stage plays "Children of Night", set in a Jewish orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto, and "Einstein", a one man play about the famous physicist.
