Sinossi

In "Dickinson: The Complete Works," readers are presented with an unparalleled collection of the poetic genius of Emily Dickinson, whose innovative use of form, diction, and punctuation redefined 19th-century poetry. This compilation showcases her introspective exploration of profound themes such as death, immortality, nature, and the self, articulated through a distinctive brevity and musicality. Dickinson's often enigmatic style, characterized by slant rhyme and startling imagery, invites readers into a private realm of thought, emphasizing the emotional intensity and existential questioning that permeates her body of work. Contributing to the literary context are the societal constraints of her time, which Dickinson deftly negotiates, allowing for a unique voice that still resonates today. Emily Dickinson, an American poet whose life unfolded in the reclusive setting of Amherst, Massachusetts, cultivated a perspective that was both deeply personal and universally relevant. Her correspondence and limited public engagement hint at the emotional and intellectual struggles that fueled her writing. The solitude she embraced not only birthed her prolific output but also aligned her with the broader movements of Modernism and feminism, both of which she foreshadowed through her poignant reflections. This collection is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human experience through poetry. Dickinson's art offers not merely verse but an invitation to contemplate life's intricacies with authenticity. Readers will find themselves captivated by her brilliance, leading to an enriching exploration of the human condition.

    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.

    'Here I am, weightless / 
    now take me home' 
    So That You Know is the quintessential Mani Rao collection. These are poems that hold the playful exuberance of youth and the dazzling insight of age; that are at times measured, at times extravagant. What unites them is their commitment to mining deep into the recesses of the heart and offering moments of ecstatic revelation. 'Every morning you would breathe me fly,' says the poet, and one can feel the words take wing. 
    Mani Rao's work has, over the years, acquired a reputation for battering against the doors of poetic convention, experimenting with form and language, and untethering images so they run fast and thick. Part visual, part text, So That You Know stands testimony to the mischief and anarchy of her poetry. 
    If Mani Rao's language has been described as 'molten lava', here is the book that reminds you why. Each stanza-searing, incandescent, unstoppable.

    "With meticulous detail and plainspoken language, Rhonda Harris Slota unveils the story of a family held hostage by religious extremism when its beloved father falls victim to hallucinations and paranoia. In adulthood, the daughter sets out to make peace with her father and through that process, constructs a covenant of her own, one of compassion and forgiveness." 
    ~ Paula Amen-Judah, author of Añoranza 
    "Rhonda Harris Slota’s writing is so fine, so precise, the way it includes the flowers, the laundry, the secrets, that I devoured her story. Incandescent poetry that shimmers as it remembers and reveals." 
    ~ Lauren Coodley, author of Lost Napa Valley 
    -- 
    Set in rural, southern Indiana in the 50’s-70’s, these poems tell the story of a complex family dynamic. This debut collection blends Bible images, authentic dialogue and powerful natural forces to relay the effects of family trauma and mental illness. 
    The daughter often questions her own sanity as she watches her fundamentalist father struggle with internal demons and the illusion that he is the prophet, Elijah. In this patriarchal world, the women hold together the seams of life’s tapestry through perseverance, inner wisdom and love. 
    As time passes and the father plunges deep into his fears and delusions, his young daughter learns to forge her own pathway through the maze of duality: dark and light, fear and joy. This finally leads her to reconciliation and acceptance through spiritual surrender.
