Having developed an impressive reputation for his many novels and non-fiction works, Richard Wagamese now presents a collection of stunning poems ranging over a broad landscape. He begins with an immersion in the unforgettable world where “the ancient ones stand at your shoulder … making you a circle / containing everything.” These are Medicine teachings told from the experience of one who lived and still lives them. He also describes his life on the road when he repeatedly ran away at an early age, and the beatings he received when the authorities tried “to beat the Indian right out of me.” Yet even in the most desperate situations, Wagamese shows us Canada as seen through the eyes and soul of a well-worn traveller, with his love of country, his love of people. Through it all, there are poems of love and music, the language sensuous and tender. Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the country’s greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.Show book

Love. What is love? The question is asked by each of us but the answer remains elusive. Dictionaries summon up many words but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of Love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; its ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another. Love is perhaps best expressed through poetry. As Plato said 2500 years ago “At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet”. Writing a love poem for ones’ partner is seen as the most romantic of gestures. It opens our hearts to another's. Lovers love. Here, in this volume history’s greatest poets convey thoughts, feelings and sentiments of love to you in quick (or bite-size) conversations of verse that can slip into your day and your partner's heart. 01 - Fifteen Minutes of Love - Volume 6 - The Owl & The Pussycat & Other Poems 02 - The Owl And The Pussycat by Edward Lear 03 - The Flea by John Donne 04 - Give All To Love by Ralph Waldo Emerson 05 - To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet 06 - To Celia by Ben Jonson 07 - Courtship by Alexander Brome 08 - Gloire De Dijon by D H Lawrence 09 - Love's Harvest by Alfred Austin 10 - Sonnet XXXVII - The Love Moon by Dante Gabriel Rossetti 11 - The Beloved Comes Home by Miraibai 12 - Love's Deity by John DonneShow book
