Synopsis

A Visit From Saint Nicholas is a timeless poem that deftly captures the enchantment of Christmas through the lens of 19th-century Americana. Written in rhymed couplets, the poem employs a whimsical yet comforting narrative style that engages readers with its vivid imagery and playful rhythm. Set against the backdrop of holiday traditions, Moore's work both reflects and shapes the cultural perceptions of Santa Claus, making it a pivotal text in the canon of festive literature. The poem's memorable opening lines, filled with shimmering descriptions of a treasured holiday figure, serve to celebrate the joy of giving and familial love during the festive season. Clement Clarke Moore, an esteemed scholar and theologian, penned this enduring piece initially for his children. His background in literature, combined with a deep understanding of folklore and cultural traditions, informed his portrayal of Santa Claus as a jolly, rotund figure who travels in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. Moore's upbringing in a New York City that was rich in diverse cultural influences undoubtedly shaped his vision of an inclusive and joyous Christmas. This beloved poem is recommended for readers of all ages, as it beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Christmas while weaving together themes of imagination and family. Whether a cherished annual read or a first encounter, A Visit From Saint Nicholas invites readers to embrace the magic of the holiday season, making it a must-have for any literary collection.

    In the poems, Pythagoras is always searching for meaning in patterns—in the caws of crows, the flight of geese—but he is also visited by the random.  “But then, without a sign, the crow departs; this randomness of fate gives him a chill./He sees the beauty of wings merged with night …”  Was it a random coincidence that I was at the same time writing a book set on an estate with Italianate gardens?  Inspired by Lee, I created a poet named Zalman Bronsky who wandered through the Italian gardens composing sonnets, which Lee graciously agreed to write.  Immersed in researching the Italian gardens, we traveled to Rome and Sorrento in the summer of 2004.  While walking in the Roman Forum Lee discovered a bust of Pythagoras and was inspired to write “Counting Toward the End,” in which “Pythagoras divides the summer dawn/into the cosmos, multiplies by breeze/and quality of drifting yellow light/to calculate how many roses  thrive/within the boundary of circling sight.”  His calculation conflicts with what he sees and yet his “faith in truth of math endures despite/this failure.”

    In the scintillating underworld of Miami, Zeus rules with an iron fist. As the formidable leader of the Family of God (F.O.G.), his ambitions stretch far beyond the city's glittering lights, aiming to monopolize both the United States and the Caribbean. 
    But Zeus's reign isn't just about power—it's about style, elegance, and high-stakes sophistication. 
    By his side is Destiny, his girlfriend and lover, whose beauty and cunning are matched only by her loyalty to Zeus. Together, they navigate a world where every move is a calculated risk, and every relationship is a fragile alliance. 
    Their lives are a mix of high fashion and deadly deals, blending the art of luxury with the ruthlessness of their operations. 
    Standing as Zeus's unwavering right hand is his best friend, Reel.  
    His loyalty to Zeus is unshakeable, forged through years of shared victories and narrow escapes. 
    Zeus is the tactical mastermind, the silent force behind F.O.G.'s most daring exploits. 
     His strategic brilliance and unflinching resolve make him an indispensable pillar in the F.O.G. empire, always ready to dive into the fray and turn the tide in their favor. 
    As the F.O.G. expands its influence, threats loom on the horizon. Rivals challenge their authority, and law enforcement inches closer, driven by a relentless desire to dismantle their empire. 
    The stakes are perilously high, and as love and loyalty are tested, Zeus and Destiny must use every ounce of their wit and charm to stay ahead. 
    "Gods of Miami" is a dazzling tale of power, seduction, and ambition, set in a city that is as dangerous as it is beautiful. 
    In this world, the boundaries between elegance and evil blur, and only the most cunning will rise to divine h 
    eights.
