Beschreibung

In her evocative collection "Poems of Reflection," Ella Wheeler Wilcox marries lyrical beauty with profound introspection, offering readers a tapestry of thoughts that grapple with the complexities of human emotion and experience. The poems showcase her mastery of rhythm and rhyme, set against the backdrop of the late 19th-century literary landscape marked by Romanticism and Transcendentalism. Wilcox's poignant verses invite readers to contemplate themes of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of life, rendering an intimate experience that resonates across time and space. Ella Wheeler Wilcox was more than just a poet; she was a social advocate and a pioneer in addressing the universal concerns of the human condition. Growing up in Wisconsin, her exposure to both the hardships and triumphs of life informed her writings, and her belief in the transformative power of positivity shines through her work. Wilcox's keen observation of society's dynamics and her personal belief in self-reliance motivate her to explore deeper themes, providing not just a reflection of her times but also a timeless insight into the human soul. "Poems of Reflection" is a profound journey into the heart of existential considerations, making it a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the intricate relationship between emotion and expression. Wilcox's work is not only a mirror to the soul but also a beacon of inspiration, encouraging readers to engage with their own reflections and understand the world more deeply.

    Who has not tried to write a poem?  The poetic form of words seems to be rather easy.  In its basic form, which we learn as children, the rhyming couplet is, in a child’s written and spoken words, pure joy - success!  In the hands of a Shakespeare it is magnificent with a reach and understanding that the rest of us enjoy but are far from even attempting.    
     
    As we listen to various poetic forms, schools and movements we can only react with wonder at how these innocent words are assembled to create symphonies of ideas, wonder and revelation.  The emotions they seek to invoke can be anything from happiness to sadness, from love to revulsion. 
     
    Arnold, Stevens, Keats, Akhmatova, Browning, Herrick, Hood, Killigrew are but a few of the roll-call of wordsmiths who with mere words create ravenous beauty that reveals tender lines and sensitive verse on how and why they are who they are.

    Move from a transactional experience with God to a transformational friendship with Him through prayer. How can time with God be a source of peace in a loud and distracting world? In Beholding, spiritual director and poet Strahan Coleman invites readers to discover the joy of being with God, not just working for Him. As they inhabit the art of resting in God’s presence, prayer becomes not only a place of seeking, but becoming. Beholding calls Christians to understand how:  Prayer is so much more than spoken conversation between us and God; it’s a way of existing together. Beholding God in prayer is profoundly connected to beholding and dignifying others.Embracing prayer practices from different Christian traditions digs a deep well of peace in the soul.Our everyday ordinary lives can become the meeting place for God through silence, solitude, community, creation, and hospitality.
