Beschreibung

Knights, quests, and a kingdom where virtue battles vice.
First published in 1590 and expanded in 1596, The Faerie Queene is Edmund Spenser's monumental epic poem—a cornerstone of English Renaissance literature. Written in Spenser's own distinctive stanza form, the work blends myth, morality, and political allegory, celebrating the ideals of Elizabethan chivalry and virtue.

Across six books (with a planned but unfinished seventh), a series of knightly champions embark on quests to embody and defend virtues such as holiness, temperance, chastity, friendship, justice, and courtesy. Along the way, they face dragons, enchantresses, and symbolic challenges that test both courage and moral strength.

Rich in allegory and vivid imagery, The Faerie Queene is both a thrilling adventure and a profound reflection on morality, leadership, and the human spirit.

"One of the greatest achievements of English poetry."
– The Times Literary Supplement

"A dazzling tapestry of myth, romance, and moral vision."
– The Guardian

    I Remember is a book of poetry inspired while traveling, spending time in nature and from my life's experiences. As a multiracial man in America, I feel I was given the opportunity to experience discrimination and prejudice from people of all walks of life. To learn I needed to love to accept myself first so I can witness firsthand society's most crucial issues of division and polarity. From the systemic illusion of separation from nature and humankind as a whole, due to the fact that most of us have yet to remember who we really are. Although the media is persistently promoting fear and division. The intention of this book is to share a sense of awareness of who we are beyond the body while inspiring the reader to love and have compassion for themselves and others at a greater capacity. Regardless of what one may have learned from their parents, culture, media, movies etc. I Remember is resurfacing to remind the masses we are all equal expressions of the Divine and now have a role to play in co-creating “The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.”

    There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

    Set against the backdrop of Ireland’s struggle for freedom, "Cathleen Ní Houlihan" unfolds with quiet intensity as a young man’s ordinary life is gradually overtaken by a strange and irresistible call to something greater. In the presence of a beguiling visitor whose words seem to shimmer with myth and longing, dreams of marriage and home give way to visions of sacrifice and national pride. W.B. Yeats weaves a lyrical, otherworldly tale that blurs the line between reality and enchantment, capturing the powerful sway of idealism, identity, and the mysterious forces that drive people to give everything for a cause--the cause for Ireland's freedom. 
    Brimming with charm and mischief, "The Pot of Broth" is a delightful one-act comedy co-written with Lady Gregory in which a clever wanderer, armed with nothing but an empty pot and a silver tongue, convinces a wary country couple that he can brew a magical broth from a simple stone. As tall tales bubble up alongside the imaginary soup, the ordinary kitchen becomes a stage for trickery, laughter, and the quiet magic of believing in just a little more than what’s in front of you. Come into the Irish countryside, where even the poorest pot can cook up a most entertaining story. 
    W.B Yeats' "Purgatory" is a grim representation of generational guilt and spiritual entrapment, as a father confronts the ghosts of his family’s past in the ruins of a once-noble home, where memory and violence echo years afterwards. 
    Meanwhile, in "The Cat and the Moon," two beggars—one blind, one lame—make their way to a holy well where Saint Colman resides in the hopes of curing their respective ailments. But when given the opportunity of being healed or being blessed, both beggars are forced to reassess their convictions. Will they use their newfound gifts for justice, or will they accept placement in the hereafter?

    Most poets recollect or describe the present. In her third book of poems, Laura Quinney (whose “superbly spare meditations” Harold Bloom compared to the poetry of Paul Celan and Emily Dickinson) does something more uncanny: recalling what it once was like to anticipate the future, she remembers what she thought the past would look like from the present moment, and in so doing deepens the meaning of memory. This is her third book of poetry.
