  The Milk Job - An Allegory to...

  The Milk Job is a contemporary poetic retelling of the biblical Book of Job, inspired by the author’s own struggle to cope with personal tragedy and suffering – a struggle that is shared by all of humanity.  Using the literary device of the allegory and following the tradition of classical narrative poetry, Samuel Kilroy tells the tale of a hapless modern day Job, a tenant dairy farmer who overnight loses all he owns and loves in this world – his farm, his cows, and his milk. Like the biblical Job he endeavors to make sense of the calamity that befalls him as he goes through the emotional turmoil that is common to all humans who experience great loss. He seeks an explanation for his misfortunes from his landlord (“His Lordship,” as he refers to him), and ultimately finds a way to move on when an answer, which at first seems illusory, is provided.This carefully crafted, concise retelling of the Book of Job provides a fresh take on the meaning of Job’s suffering.  It will appeal to those who value biblical contemplation and to those who enjoy storytelling through poetry, but, above all, it is shared in the hope that this version of Job’s travails and fortitude will provide meaningful comfort and guidance to those suffering through their own personal trials.

  In Nothing and Everything, Dr. Engin Ozertugrul offers a deeply personal exploration of human existence where paradox and transcendence coexist. Known for Interview with OCD, Ozertugrul uses poetry to unpack the intricate relationship between consciousness, emotion, and divinity. Eschewing structured rhyme, he employs repetition, simplicity, and second-person narration to reveal a universal truth: we are all connected and uncertain, and that is where beauty lies.This collection avoids common poetic tropes like romance or singular religious views, focusing instead on raw human experiences—fear, sadness, anger, and hope. Each poem wrestles with the limits of understanding without succumbing to nihilism, guiding readers toward meditative peace born of acceptance and awareness.Inspired by Transcendental Meditation (TM) and thinkers such as Rumi, Spinoza, Jung, Kant, Emerson, and Blake, the poems reflect spiritual insights reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Ozertugrul credits TM for shaping his understanding of consciousness and personal transformation.“This book is about being human,” he says—embracing challenges, disappointments, fears, anger, and joy. Written with what he calls “a better use of his OCD mind,” the poems use layered repetition to create a spiritual hypnosis.Nothing and Everything will resonate with readers interested in meditation, mindfulness, and nontraditional spirituality, especially those connected to TM and the David Lynch Foundation. Though not self-help, it offers comfort not by providing answers but by giving space to sit with questions.
