Summary

In "Henrik Ibsen," Edmund Gosse delivers a profound examination of one of the most influential playwrights of the modern era. With an incisive literary style characterized by eloquence and analytical depth, Gosse navigates Ibsen's life and works, uncovering the complexities of his character and the societal impacts of his plays. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a pivotal time bursting with intellectual upheaval, the book immerses the reader in Ibsen's struggles to challenge conventional morality and promote individualism through his groundbreaking theater. Gosse, a noted poet and critic himself, had a deep admiration for Ibsen, recognizing him as a transformative figure in literature. Having been shaped by the currents of Victorian thought and the burgeoning modernist movement, Gosse's insights are informed by his own cultural milieu, which wrestled with similar questions of identity and existentialism. His ability to dissect complex themes reflects his comprehensive knowledge of literary traditions and an intimate understanding of Ibsen's context. This book is an essential read for scholars, students, and theater enthusiasts alike, as it not only illuminates Ibsen's oeuvre but also engages with the broader implications of his revolutionary ideas. Gosse's lucid prose and thoughtful analysis make it a perfect companion for anyone seeking to explore the intricate tapestry of modern drama and the enduring legacy of Henrik Ibsen.

    A magical grimoire of sigils and rituals for summoning and mastering spirits, The Key of Solomon the King is the most famous, or infamous, of all magick books. It has influenced everything from the revival of magick and the Western Mystery Traditions (tarot, alchemy, astrology, etc.) to fictional works such as Lovecraft’s The Necronomicon.Purported to have been penned by King Solomon himself, the book provides instruction for incantations, rituals, and sigils used to call upon and control spirits and demons. Those practicing magick have used it extensively through the centuries, but its true origins and purpose have been lost in the mists of time.No library of the contemporary occult student or practicing magician is complete without this tome. It remains a standard of esoteric lore by which others are measured. This edition includes a new foreword by noted esoteric scholar Joseph Peterson.

    It might surprise you who’s a fan of poetry — when it meets them where they are. 
Before he became an award-winning writer and poet, Brian Sonia-Wallace set up a typewriter on the street with a sign that said “Poetry Store” and discovered something surprising: all over America, people want poems. An amateur busker at first, Brian asked countless strangers, “What do you need a poem about?” To his surprise, passersby opened up to share their deepest yearnings, loves, and heartbreaks. Hundreds of them. Then thousands. Around the nation, Brian’s poetry crusade drew countless converts from all walks of life. 
In The Poetry of Strangers, Brian tells the story of his cross-country journey in a series of heartfelt and insightful essays. From Minnesota to Tennessee, California to North Dakota, Brian discovered that people aren’t so afraid of poetry when it’s telling their stories. In “dying” towns flourish vibrant artistic spirits and fascinating American characters who often pass under the radar, from the Mall of America’s mall walkers to retirees on Amtrak to self-proclaimed witches in Salem. 
In a time of unprecedented loneliness and isolation, Brian’s journey shows how art can be a vital bridge to community in surprising places. Conventional wisdom says Americans don’t want to talk to each other, but according to this poet-for-hire, everyone is just dying to be heard. 
Thought-provoking, moving, and eye-opening, The Poetry of Strangers is an unforgettable portrait of America told through the hidden longings of one person at a time, by one of our most important voices today. The fault lines and conflicts which divide us fall away when we remember to look, in every stranger, for poetry.
