I found God in my loneliness: She likes a quiet room Before she enters by Rae Sowards (3 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

I found God in my loneliness: She likes a quiet room Before she enters takes the reader on a poetic pilgrimage of divine truth. Through vivid earthly metaphors, Rae Sowards reminds us that our multifaceted human experience serves as the core catalyst of both self-discovery and cosmic union. When one chooses to love and empathize, one becomes inseparable from Source. When one chooses fear, the more the ego clings to illusory mundane life, convincing itself that's all there is. Ultimately, this poetry collection reminds us that we are souls having a human experience -- one that is brimming magic.

Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times by Zhiyi Yang (University of Michigan Press) Price verified one hour ago

Wang Jingwei, poet and politician, patriot and traitor, has always been a figure of major academic and popular interest. Until now, his story has never been properly told, let alone critically investigated. The significance of his biography is evident from an ongoing war on cultural memory: modern mainland China prohibits serious academic research on wartime collaboration in general, and on Wang Jingwei in particular. At this critical juncture, when the recollection of World War II is fading from living memory and transforming into historical memory, this knowledge embargo will undoubtedly affect how China remembers its anti-fascist role in WWII. In Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times, Zhiyi Yang brings us a long overdue reexamination of Wang's impact on cultural memory of WWII in China. In this book, Yang brings disparate methodologies into a fruitful dialogue, including sophisticated methods of poetic interpretation. The author argues that Wang's lyric ...

This piece is not only a personal comprehension; it is a common appreciation... for all splintered hearts to share. Splinters is a preludial introduction to J J Ginty's "Dark Poetry" series.

Amsterdam. Motion & Posture (Italian Edition) by Alberto Pian (Amsterdam. Motion & Posture) (8 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Il movimento frenetico, un po' surreale e un po' assurdo di Amsterdam mi è sembrato una sorta di legame chimico che salda le persone e gli oggetti insieme alle loro "posizioni". Quando mi sono accorto di questa mia specifica impressione (non so fino a che punto potrebbe essere condivisa), che questo aspetto della città sembrava trasmettermi, ho scattato delle fotografie seguendo questo preciso filone. Le immagini fotografiche congelano un istante, perciò non rappresentano il movimento in quanto successione e sviluppo dinamico. Tuttavia possono congelare un istante che ha a che fare con il movimento. Ho cercato di rappresentare questo legame fra persone, oggetti e posizioni, nel quadro di un movimento cittadino che mi è parso astratto e senza soste.

The Buddhist Poetry of the Great Kamo Priestess: Daisaiin Senshi and Hosshin Wakashu (Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies Book 5) by Edward Kamens (U of M Center For Japanese Studies) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Senshi was born in 964 and died in 1035, in the Heian period of Japanese history (794-1185). Most of the poems discussed here are what may loosely be called Buddhist poems, since they deal with Buddhist scriptures, practices, and ideas. For this reason, most of them have been treated as examples of a category or subgenre of waka called Shakkyoka, "Buddhist poems." Yet many Shakkyoka are more like other poems in the waka canon than they are unlike them. In the case of Senshi's "Buddhist poems," their language links them to the traditions of secular verse. Moreover, the poems use the essentially secular public literary language of waka to address and express serious and relatively private religious concerns and aspirations. In reading Senshi's poems, it is as important to think about their relationship to the traditions and conventions of waka and to other waka texts as it is to think about their relationship to Buddhist thoughts, practices, and texts. The Buddhist Poetry of the Great ...

Lost in the rivers of my thoughts by Steve Price (BookRix) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 53 minutes ago

This is my first attempt at writing a book like this but the 4th I have published. This book reflects the things I see, hear and at times just think. Most of all the lyrics written in this and previous books are hardly changed from the original text. I write lyrics very quickly once I have an idea, usually no more than 10 - 15 minutes. I have many influences musically and enjoy songwriters that tell a story, such as Bono(U2), Lennon, Dylan, Bowie and many others. I do not profess to anywhere near their league in fact a million miles away from them. I write to release myself from the everyday crap that goes on in the world and as a sense of peace to myself. This book is rather dark and naïve in its content and I was apprehensive whether to publish, but if you don't try, you don't know! So please enjoy.

Flaming Child (Un'immodesta proposta Book 6) by Filippo Parodi (Polimnia Digital Editions) (7 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

To float next to our inner child. To touch him by touching ourselves. To go as far as to lose ourselves into a "border vagueness", in "the glare of a nebulous frontier". This is the path between perceptiveness, psychoanalysis and magic which Filippo Parodi has undertaken by revisiting a wearing past, a gloom concealing ego traps and blaming archetypes. And through that darkness, beside the child - first angry, then an encouraging guide - the author walked, until he found a space of possible release. Hence his poetic testimony, almost in direct contact with the rapprochement process (and sometimes reconciliation) with childhood. A writing style more corporeal and immediate than his previous works. A writing in which the ancient desire to take off and play the game, even in the clear awareness of the inescapable travail of existence, resurfaces.

Confessions Seldom Made : 28 Untold Admissions and Songs to Remember Them by Digjam Sarma (Notion Press) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Confessions is a series of twenty-eight original, gritty, gnarly, joyous, melancholy, sometimes dark and sometimes eerie tales that have been condensed into poetry. They have been grouped into four sections, each reflecting a particular mood of nature. A book that tries to delve into uncharted islands of the human psyche, indulge yourself into a journey of forbidden feelings and desires, and their recreation into words- with some tea or red wine, and itsy-bitsy amount of serious reflection. The volume of the book has been kept purposefully small, so that emotions that come with them do not get too overwhelming, yet the beauty of the poems stay raw, pure and uncompromised.
