  "Fierce warres and faithful loves shall moralize my song."
  
  Step into the enchanted realm of Faerie Land, a world where every forest path leads to a moral trial and every monster represents a vice of the human soul. Commissioned to celebrate the glory of the Tudor dynasty, Edmund Spenser's masterpiece is one of the longest and most intricate poems in the English language. It follows a series of knights—each representing a particular virtue—as they battle wizards, giants, and their own internal failings.
  
  The Birth of the Spenserian Stanza: Experience the lush, musical beauty of a poetic form invented specifically for this work. Spenser's unique nine-line stanza, with its interlocking rhyme scheme and final "Alexandrine" line, creates a dreamlike pace that mirrors the wandering "errant" journeys of his heroes. This style would go on to influence giants of literature from Byron to Keats.
  
  A Mirror for a Queen: At the heart of the poem is Gloriana, the Faerie Queene, a multifaceted allegory for Elizabeth I. Through characters like the warrior-maid Britomart (representing Chastity) and the Redcrosse Knight (representing Holiness), Spenser provides a manual for "fashioning a gentleman or noble person in virtuous and gentle discipline." It is a work of Arthurian legend, Protestant theology, and political intrigue woven into a breathtaking tapestry.
  
  The ultimate fusion of fantasy and philosophy. Purchase "The Faerie Queene" today and lose yourself in the foundational epic of the English Renaissance.

  The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time. 
  Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career. 
  Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems 
  as well as debuting some brand-new work.
