Sinopsis

The poems in this book may appear as merely words on a page.
 
But in truth, they are translations—
 
renderings of a dialogue whispered through the ether.
 
A dialogue not of words, but of music.
 
What you hold in your hands may be just a book filled with poems— but within these pages lie the echoes of the giants who paved our way.
 
A whisper from beyond the veil.
 
These writings emerged through silence, sorrow, stillness, and the strange gift of revelation.
 
They come from nights wrestled in darkness and mornings lit by the first glimmer of understanding.
 
Here, you will find allegories, gods, serpents, fallen angels and rising sons.
 
You will meet Reason and Allisa, archetypes of body and spirit, locked in divine dialogue. You will walk through valleys of despair, rise to mountaintops of glory, and stand before the great mysteries-some of which answer back.
 
This is a journey through metaphor, myth, and memory.
 
Through spiritual fire and ancient echoes.
 
It is both warning and invitation.
 
To the seeker, the sorrowful, the broken, and the brave— may these words be oil for your lamp.
 
And may your path be lit from within.

Swansdown

Donald Platt

In SWANSDOWN, the poet Donald Platt makes a study of lifeís inevitable transitions, from loveís astonishing evolutions, to aging and its attendant losses. With the poem "Cloud Study" Platt brings his own mortality into view. Returning to a painting by Constable, he considers his own perspective, sitting by the Liffey, tending an injured knee. Young mothers, lovers, and runners pass, reminding the poet of who he once was and how quickly life, like weather, shifts. "Two minutes later, // The clouds would have taken on a different cast of light and shape / just like the thunderheads / now piling up above the Liffey."Platt advises: "To approach old age, one needs a new harsher style." And yet these poems are proof of the softness that may follow life's harshest reckonings, like the wisps of hair on his beloved brother's head as he lies dying, "fine / as milkweed silk. / His head a split / dried pod whose seeds / wind will scatter." The poems of Swansdown point us to a "larger landscape," they are the clouds "that scud across the blue escutcheon of sky. . . Sun's blazon through rain rampant.""One of the finest American poets working today," writes poet and editor Adrian Matejka, "A writer of unparalleled lyric and formal integrity." It is indeed these qualities that gird Platt for this masterful eighth collection.

Mishkât Al-Anwar (The Niche For...

Al- Ghazzali, WHT Gairdner

The classic work of Sufi mystical thinking from 1100CE, available in audiobook for the first time. It is also known as A Niche of Lamps. In the middle ages, Sufi scholars reconciled rationality and faith, both of which were ascendant in the empires of the time. This is one of the great philosophical and theological works from that period, and shows another side to Islam than the doctrinaire version that is more commonly spoken of. Al-Ghazali is often called "the proof of Islam" (hujjat al-islam), because he tried to bridge inquiry, legislation and mystical practice. One could call al-Ghazali the prototype Muslim intellectual.This translation was done in 1823 by WHT Gairdner, who also includes a commentary upon the ideas that Al-Ghazzali presents.The Niche of Lights, written near the end of his life, is about the need for balance between the authority of the divine and reason, seeing both as essential to real spiritual development.

Keeping Count

M. Travis Lane

Keeping Count, M. Travis Lane’s 18th collection of poetry, begins in the poet’s favourite terrain: short, condensed lyric that focuses on the natural world. “But pull a thread: music turns” Lane writes, and the book progressively defamiliarizes the reader, moving from ecopoetry to a longer poetry of interiority in the second section, concluding with a final section that focuses on issues of mortality. As George Elliott Clarke has written so aptly, “If you have not read Lane before, prepare to travel: Like T.S. Eliot, she wants you to have a transporting experience in your imagination. If you have read Lane before, prepare for fresh astonishment. She is Homeric breadth and Sapphic brevity."
