Sinopsis

In "Ebony and Crystal: Poems in Verse and Prose," Clark Ashton Smith masterfully intertwines lucid imagery with a vivid imagination, crafting a collection that is both a celebration of and an exploration into the realms of beauty and despair. The work is characterized by a flamboyant literary style, rich in ornate language and intricate symbolism, echoing the decadence of the Symbolist movement. Smith's unique blend of fantasy and lyricism invites readers into a multi-faceted world, where metaphysical musings and earthly concerns collide, revealing profound truths hidden beneath layers of lyrical prose. Clark Ashton Smith was not only a poet but also a sculptor and a painter, which deeply influenced his creative sensibilities. Born in 1893, his multifarious artistic pursuits and lifelong fascination with the arcane and the otherworldly shaped the contours of his literary voice. His experiences in the bohemian culture of the early 20th century California infused his work with a sense of artisanal craftsmanship, often reflecting themes of lost civilizations and the splendor of twilight worlds. "Ebony and Crystal" is a must-read for those captivated by exquisite verse and explorations of the human condition. It offers a deep dive into a world of imagination that transcends time, inviting readers to revel in the beauty of language and the haunting echoes of existence. Smith's work stands as a testament to the power of poetry to elevate the mundane into the realm of the extraordinary.

Well then he is reborn, let's do some cuddles. What is poetry? He asked this question 30years ago too. Like finding an answer to aquestion that everyone can ask but no one can still on the line of verbal barbarism,as much as the atar in the night sky scattered. He ask poetry again. He said that although he may not be phonex whose wings flutter across the light, he may not a phoenex who eats bamboo shoots and does not anything other than the precious paulownia tree but like a skylark singing in the spring, like a cicada enjoying the summer, like a wildflower blooming in abundance in the field in the fall, even if it's an old tree full of snow flakes in winter , It's good. So he hope to do this best to write healthy articles that comfort and support everyone and himself.

    Holy Sparks is a collection of poems grounded in a belief in the kinship between the cosmos and its Creator. Biophilic imagery is used throughout the poems to suggest that reverence for the earth is a natural consequence of reverence for God. The language of poetry is used to interconnect the human, natural and sacred, and to express humanity's moral and ethical responsibility to our nonhuman kin. These poems question what it means for humans to live in right relationship with earth's lifesystems, and they suggest that our very identity is tied to our reverence for the natural world. They offer a space of confession, reparation and praise of what remains. Holy Sparks is a call to partake of Earth's wisdom so that we might participate in the Creator's ongoing work.
