Synopsis

In "The Wounded Eros: Sonnets," Charles Gibson meticulously explores the complexities of love, loss, and human connection through the traditional sonnet form. Each poem is an elaborate tapestry woven with vibrant imagery and emotional depth, showcasing Gibson's adeptness at marrying classical structure with contemporary themes. The collection delves into the universal experience of heartache, drawing on both personal reflections and broader philosophical inquiries, thus situating itself within the rich literary tradition of sonnet-writing while boldly innovating its emotional resonance and thematic scope. Charles Gibson, a distinguished poet and scholar, has long been fascinated by the interplay of myth and modernity. His academic background and lived experiences have profoundly informed his poetic voice, allowing him to navigate the intricate pathways of desire and vulnerability. This collection emerges from Gibson's desire to capture the ephemeral nature of Eros, the god of love, and his influence on the human psyche, echoing the sentiments of past masters yet resonating with today's audience. For readers seeking a profound exploration of passion and sorrow, "The Wounded Eros" is an essential addition to any literary collection. Gibson's poignant sonnets invite readers into a reflective space where beauty and pain converge, offering insights that linger long after the final stanza.

    “The double question we must always ask is, ‘How does faith inform art?’ and ‘How can art animate faith?’” 
    Imagination, appreciation of beauty, creativity: all of these qualities have been given to us by God. For the Christian artist, the drive to create something wonderful is also a means to glorify and better understand our Lord. Using excerpts from her own works as well as those of writers who have gone before her—Emily Dickinson, Annie Dillard, C.S. Lewis, and others—poet and writer Luci Shaw proves that symbolism and metaphor provide ways for humans to experience God in new and powerful ways. 
    Shaw offers a rich and thought-provoking exploration of art, creativity, and faith. Believing that art emanates from God, she shows how imagination and spirituality “work in tandem, each feeding on and nourishing the other.” Faith informs art and art enhances faith. They both, for each other, are “breath for the bones.” 
    Provocative, enlightening, and above all, inspiring, Breath for the Bones will help readers discover the artist within, and bring them further along the path to God Himself. 
    Discussion questions and exercises are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    A Ballad of Death - A poetic...

    Algernon Charles Swinburne

    Algernon Charles Swinburne was born on April 5th, 1837, in London, into a wealthy Northumbrian family.  He was educated at Eton and at Balliol College, Oxford, but did not complete a degree.  
    In 1860 Swinburne published two verse dramas but achieved his first literary success in 1865 with Atalanta in Calydon, written in the form of classical Greek tragedy. The following year "Poems and Ballads" brought him instant notoriety. He was now identified with "indecent" themes and the precept of art for art's sake.  
    Although he produced much after this success in general his popularity and critical reputation declined. The most important qualities of Swinburne's work are an intense lyricism, his intricately extended and evocative imagery, metrical virtuosity, rich use of assonance and alliteration, and bold, complex rhythms.  
    Swinburne's physical appearance was small, frail, and plagued by several other oddities of physique and temperament. Throughout the 1860s and 1870s he drank excessively and was prone to accidents that often left him bruised, bloody, or unconscious. Until his forties he suffered intermittent physical collapses that necessitated removal to his parents' home while he recovered.  
    Throughout his career Swinburne also published literary criticism of great worth. His deep knowledge of world literatures contributed to a critical style rich in quotation, allusion, and comparison. He is particularly noted for discerning studies of Elizabethan dramatists and of many English and French poets and novelists. As well he was a noted essayist and wrote two novels. 
    In 1879, Swinburne's friend and literary agent, Theodore Watts-Dunton, intervened during a time when Swinburne was dangerously ill. Watts-Dunton isolated Swinburne at a suburban home in Putney and gradually weaned him from alcohol, former companions and many other habits as well.  
    Much of his poetry in this period may be inferior but some individual poems are exceptional; "By the North Sea," "Evening on the Broads," "A Nympholept," "The Lake of Gaube," and "Neap-Tide."  
    Swinburne lived another thirty years with Watts-Dunton. He denied Swinburne's friends access to him, controlled the poet's money, and restricted his activities. It is often quoted that 'he saved the man but killed the poet'.  
    Swinburne died on April 10th, 1909 at the age of seventy-two.
