Summary

Welsh-born English poet, orator and Anglican priest George Herbert is one the most famous and popular of the metaphysical poets. The Poetry Foundation has described him as "a pivotal figure: enormously popular, deeply and broadly influential, and arguably the most skillful and important British devotional lyricist." All of Herbert's surviving poems are religious in nature, characterized by their directness of expression and many of which employ an intricate rhyme scheme. Included in this volume is a complete collection of his poetry and prose writings including the following works: "The Temple," "The Church Militant," "Jacula Prudentium," "A Priest to the Temple," "Letters of George Herbert," "The Oration of Master George Herbert," "Preface and Notes to the Divine Considerations of John Valdesso," "Notes to the Divine Considerations," and "A Treatise of Temperance and Sobriety."

    I’m loving it. (J.Q. – United Kingdom) Beautifully written (J.M. – USA) Wow! So Impressive! So riveting! (S.A. – Harare) I’m loving your book. Thank you! Can I share with a friend? (A.S. – Cape Town)  
Ali and Salma are Beja people, living in the hauntingly beautiful hills by the Red Sea in North Africa. They belong to a nomadic tribe that time forgot, under siege by a Western culture that challenges the very core of their ancient traditions and beliefs. Enter David Stark, a doctor and aid worker, caught up in a civil war and his own unexpected awakening of love, faith and future. Traumatic events cast David, Salma and Ali together and their intertwined stories push them towards each other and a wildly unpredictable destiny. This is a gripping and inspiring story of the triumph of the human spirit and the love of God.

    Sometimes we just want the best.  But that involves choices, judgements, decisions. And that all depends on our feelings, our mood at the time. 
Even more so with Poetry.  Would we like a little more pathos, or love, or humour with that? Can we only choose one Keats?  And ’If’? Surely Kipling wrote something else? 
So difficult to decide. This one or that?  Is it easier to choose your fifty favourite poets or your fifty favourite poems? 
The argument can go on forever, certainly a few days.  However what we can all agree on is that poets have a way with words that almost all of us respect and admire and can’t compete with.  Who hasn’t wanted to quote some favourite lines to make a better point? 
In this volume we made those choices, judgements and decisions for you.      
Some you will love. Maybe not today but tomorrow. Others may not initially be your cup of tea.  But they will all make you think and bring you closer to something..…or someone. 
 This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    Kahlil Gibran’s aphorisms, stories, and poetry on a theme remain among some of those best known to Western readers. His views, however, extend beyond the most-quoted “greeting card” sayings to a wide realm of human emotions and relationships—passion, desire, idealized love, justice, friendship, and the challenges of dealing with strangers, neighbors, and enemies. This little book captures love and life in all of their complexities and nuances.This little volume includes over 90 selections from Gibran’s writings and is divided into four sections:Love’s InitiationThe Veils of LoveAll of Our RelationshipsA Love BeyondThis book, ideal for all gift-giving occasions, is informative, illuminating, and inspirational.Whom Do We Love?When I stood, a clear mirror before you,  you gazed into me and saw your image.  Then you said, “I love you.” But in truth you loved yourself in me.  Love is the veil between lover and lover.
