Synopsis

Sonnets from Hafez & Other Verses emerges as a tapestry of sonorous expression, weaving together the quintessential themes of love, spirituality, and existential reflection that transcend time and linguistic barriers. This anthology, laced with the grandeur of Hafiz's 14th-century Persian sensibility and the lyrical grace of Elizabeth Bridges Daryush, offers a mesmerizing juxtaposition of styles. The collection stands out for its ability to synthesize classical Persian aesthetics with early 20th-century English verse, presenting readers with a rich mosaic of poetic luminescence. Each piece, whether rich in Sufi mysticism or grounded in the stark realities of human sentiment, forms a cornerstone of this thematic exploration. The contributions of Hafiz, whose ghazals are immortalized in world literature, and Daryush, whose modern sonnets encapsulate a personal apprehension of her era, demonstrate the anthology's diverse cultural and historical backdrop. Both poets bring unparalleled insight into the powerful movements of their respective times—Hafiz with his deep roots in Persian Sufi traditions and Daryush with her engagement in early modernist dialogues. Together, they bridge cultural divides, offering a revelatory perspective on life's enduring questions. Such a collaboration underscores the anthology's commitment to celebrating the enduring vitality of human creativity. A treasury for poetry enthusiasts and scholars alike, this collection prompts contemplation and dialogue through its amplitude of perspectives. By immersing themselves in Sonnets from Hafez & Other Verses, readers unlock a veritable confluence of time and tone. This anthology is not only a rich repository for studying the evolution of poetic expression but also an invitation to indulge in multifaceted explorations of universal themes. It stands as a testament to the timelessness of poetic discourse, making it an indispensable addition to any literary repertoire.

Thomas Brash is trying to escape, but knows he never will. No thinking person can escape from their past. Pursuing him is the memory of the family he lost to cholera. Perhaps he believes that traveling alone in a wild, dangerous land will end all his memories; there is no doubt he wishes to be alone. Whatever his intentions, the appearance of Frank Clement and the circumstances of that meeting upset those plans. 
Brash views Clement as an uneducated child who requires fatherly protection and guidance. Clement views Brash as a tenderfoot and can not understand how anyone who knows so little could live so long. These two loners are joined by others, and they all become partners. Having achieved relative sanctuary and surrounded by civilization, their wilderness past comes back to haunt them.

"The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and—in a word—frank.

Nothing and Everything

Engin Ozertugrul

In Nothing and Everything, Dr. Engin Ozertugrul offers a deeply personal exploration of human existence where paradox and transcendence coexist. Known for Interview with OCD, Ozertugrul uses poetry to unpack the intricate relationship between consciousness, emotion, and divinity. Eschewing structured rhyme, he employs repetition, simplicity, and second-person narration to reveal a universal truth: we are all connected and uncertain, and that is where beauty lies.This collection avoids common poetic tropes like romance or singular religious views, focusing instead on raw human experiences—fear, sadness, anger, and hope. Each poem wrestles with the limits of understanding without succumbing to nihilism, guiding readers toward meditative peace born of acceptance and awareness.Inspired by Transcendental Meditation (TM) and thinkers such as Rumi, Spinoza, Jung, Kant, Emerson, and Blake, the poems reflect spiritual insights reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Ozertugrul credits TM for shaping his understanding of consciousness and personal transformation.“This book is about being human,” he says—embracing challenges, disappointments, fears, anger, and joy. Written with what he calls “a better use of his OCD mind,” the poems use layered repetition to create a spiritual hypnosis.Nothing and Everything will resonate with readers interested in meditation, mindfulness, and nontraditional spirituality, especially those connected to TM and the David Lynch Foundation. Though not self-help, it offers comfort not by providing answers but by giving space to sit with questions.
