  "The Romance of the Headless Horseman" is a gothic poem by Hercules Ellis, first appearing in his collection of poems in "The Rhyme Book" published in 1851. This rare 19th-century penny dreadful spins a dark and dramatic story inspired by ghostly legends of a decapitated rider who stalks the night. With its gripping suspense and eerie atmosphere, this forgotten classic is a gem of gothic poetry ─ a haunting tale that is a great accompaniment for any dark or stormy night.

  The Great Poems by African...

  African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley. Before the high point of enslaved people narratives, African-American literature was dominated by autobiographical spiritual narratives. The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives. The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s was a great period of flowering in literature and the arts, influenced both by writers who came North in the Great Migration and those who were immigrants from Jamaica and other Caribbean islands.

  "Luci Shaw is a legend" —Christianity Today
  This captivating collection of poems by beloved author Luci Shaw, reflects on daily ideas and activities as they arrive, bit by bit, to illuminate us with their wisdom and enlarge on the meanings of human experience. Like small messages from beyond, these incidents call us to pay attention.
  In An Incremental Life, Shaw breathes life into the simpleness of the every-day and finds God in the memory of the mundane. Through her verses, she explores the intricate tapestry of existence, from the tender memories of childhood to the profound questions of mortality. Her poems are like windows opening to the soul, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and savor the beauty of the world around them.
  
  
  INCREMENTS
  
  
  I live by increments, single
  
  
  breaths of an ambient air,
  
  
  marking off hours, days.
  
  
   
  
  
  Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio
  in sequentiae, edging every step
  
  
  forward before venturing the next.
  
  
   
  
  
  Staggering up towards the stony
  
  
  crests of the foothills, dusty, I am
  
  
  almost undone with weariness, only half
  
  
  believing that the view will widen.
  
  
   
  
  
  In my falling upward into your home,
  
  
  O Faithful One, stay with me,
  
  
  your wind music playing the ear of
  
  
  my mind like an instrument.
  
  
   
  
  "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw
