About Featured Book: Nothing and Everything by Engin Ozertugrul

In Nothing and Everything, a new poetry collection by Dr. Engin Ozertugrul, the reader is invited into a deeply personal exploration of human existence, where paradox and transcendence coexist. Known for his previous work Interview with OCD, Dr. Ozertugrul turns his attention toward poetic expression as a channel for unpacking the intricate relationship between consciousness, emotion, and divinity.

Rather than writing with structured rhyme or literary perfection, Dr. Ozertugrul uses repetition, simplicity, and second-person narration to communicate a universal truth: we are all connected, we are all uncertain, and that’s where the beauty lies. “Poetry is the universal mathematics without numbers; it measures the depth of the spirit and heart,” says Ozertugrul.

Nothing and Everything avoids common poetic tropes—this is not a book about romance or singular religious views. Instead, it is a collection rooted in the raw human experience: fear, sadness, anger, and hope. Each poem wrestles with the limitations of what we can truly understand, while never descending into nihilism. The author leads readers instead to a place of meditative peace, born of acceptance and awareness.

Dr. Ozertugrul’s inspiration is wide-ranging and spiritual without adhering to a single tradition. He credits the influence of Transcendental Meditation (TM), which has guided his understanding of consciousness and personal transformation. “I am grateful for Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s TM. It has had a profound impact on my experience of an amazing thing called consciousness,” he writes.

The poems reflect this practice and the insights gained from other thinkers who shaped his worldview—Rumi, Spinoza, Carl Jung, Kant, Emerson, and William Blake among them. Their philosophical echoes are present but reinterpreted through a deeply contemporary and individual lens.

“This book is about being human,” Ozertugrul says. “It’s about our challenges, disappointments. It’s about our fears, anger, and hate—but it is also about joy and peace.”

Written with what the author calls “a better use of his OCD mind,” the poems layer repetition to create a kind of spiritual hypnosis. Readers familiar with mindfulness, meditation, and even existential philosophy will find something resonant in its lines.

This book is likely to appeal strongly to adults with an interest in meditation, mindfulness, and nontraditional spirituality. Communities associated with TM and organizations like the David Lynch Foundation will find much to contemplate in its pages.

Though this is not a self-help book, Nothing and Everything does offer comfort. Not by giving answers, but by giving readers space to sit with their questions

Ice & Autumn Glass by Mark Fuller Dillon

“In ICE AND AUTUMN GLASS, Mark Dillon marries the Jacobean line and gothic imagery to a colloquial, thoroughly modern, goth-punk demotic, a frenzied coupling that yields up a species of frictive, delirious lyricism, a monstrous infant both old and new. This is a strong, accomplished debut, work imbued with the sensibility of a twenty-first century Beddoes, a Poe slumped over his eggs and ham in a midnight, neon-soaked diner, a Webster condemned to walk forever through thick, luminous snow, lost, bereft, and contemplating the skull beneath his own skin.”

Richard Calder — author of DEAD GIRLS and BABYLON.

“A poet, W.H. Auden tells us, is a person who is passionately in love with language. That love is evident in everything Mark Fuller Dillon writes, but is perhaps more perfectly suited to the poetic form. That passion, coupled with his command of form is in abundance here. But poetry is more than the sum of its parts, and while language and form obviously play a pivotal role they are ultimately just the bones upon which flesh and blood poetry exists. Another Canadian poet, Leonard Cohen, referred to poetry as the evidence of life. It’s the life that makes this collection remarkable, the flesh that Mark has placed upon the bones, the blood that flows through each and every carefully chosen word. Yes, these poems have strong bones, but they also have heart. They have a soul that reveals much about the poet and even more about ourselves.”

Jason E. Rolfe — author of CLOCKS.

“The poetry of Mark Fuller Dillon is born of a scintillating intellect. It is elegantly, meticulously constructed, one might say classical in composition, but it is far from stiff or affected. Indeed, the emotions conveyed — particularly of loss and longing — are accessible and acutely felt. There is, though, also humor herein (as in ‘Abomination Corn,’ significantly written on April 1st), and much beauty. Often, nature is used as in the fiction and poetry of Thomas Hardy, to reflect the author’s inner state. And always, that gorgeous craftsmanship. Poems such as ‘This Heritage of Ice and Autumn Glass’ and ‘Everything I Need Right Now, To Live’ share a striking relationship between their opening and closing lines, this bookending effect giving their respective last lines a powerful “oomph.” There are, in fact, many lines throughout that give me that gut punch effect, as in this from ‘Perspective’: “I write because I spend my nights alone…As many living do, and all the dead.” So engage your mind, and your emotions, and gaze into the reflective surface of ICE AND AUTUMN GLASS.”

Jeffrey Thomas, author of HAUNTED WORLDS and PUNKTOWN.
