Sinossi

In "The Complete Poetry of George MacDonald," readers are treated to a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the rich tapestry of MacDonald's poetic imagination. Drawing from a variety of themes including nature, spirituality, and the human condition, the collection showcases MacDonald's signature blend of romanticism and mystical elements. His literary style, characterized by lyrical beauty and philosophical depth, reflects the Victorian context in which he wrote, providing insight into the era'Äôs preoccupation with moral and existential questions. Within these pages, one can observe a profound engagement with allegory and narrative, inviting both emotional resonance and intellectual reflection, making this collection a cornerstone of Victorian poetry. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a pioneering Scottish author, poet, and early fantasy writer whose works laid the groundwork for subsequent fantasy literature. Influenced by his Calvinist upbringing and the Romantic movement, MacDonald was also a close friend of figures such as Lewis Carroll and Mark Twain. His keen interest in the intersection of faith and imagination prompted him to explore profound spiritual themes in his poetry, often challenging societal norms and advocating for personal experience in matters of faith. This collected volume is essential for readers who seek a deeper understanding of Victorian literature and its philosophical undercurrents. Whether you are a scholar of poetry or a curious reader, MacDonald'Äôs profound insights and exquisite craftsmanship will enrich your literary journey, making this compilation a significant addition to any literary collection.

    This is a tribute to the work of Emily Dickinson and Sara Teasdale, two of the greatest representatives of -female- American literature. 
    It is a carefully crafted selection of 150 poems, all of them 8 lines in length, which are presented face-to-face in pairs -one per author- and with matching themes. In this way, the reader can compare and enjoy the magic of these poets. 
    Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) is, without a doubt, one of the most renowned representatives of American Classic Poetry. Her poems and unique writing style, although largely unknown before her passing, have had a remarkable influence on American literature. 
    Sara Teasdale (1884 – 1933), on the other hand, was favored with success and recognition for her writing, having won the first edition of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Nevertheless, in more recent times she hasn’t enjoyed nearly as much recognition as Dickinson. 
    The 150 Poems in this collection are distributed in four themes:Of Love, Heartbreak and FaithOf Mother NatureOf Life and EmotionsOf Death 
    This is a wonderful gift for all poetry lovers, also available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats.

    A poetic sequence using the 1841 slave revolt aboard the brig Creole as a lens through which to view the vitality of Black lives and the afterlife of slavery.In 1841, the only successful, large-scale revolt of American-born enslaved people erupted on the ship Creole. 135 people escaped chattel slavery that day. The event was recounted in US Senate documents, including letters exchanged between US and British consulates in The Bahamas and depositions from the white crew on the ship. There is no known record or testimony from the 135 people who escaped. Their story has been lost to time and indifference. Quenton Baker’s ballast is an attempt at incomplete redress.With imagination, deep empathy, and skilled and compelling lyricism, Baker took a black marker to those Senate documents and culled a poetic recount of the Creole revolt. Layers of ink connect readers to Baker’s poetic process: (re)phrasing the narrative of the state through a dexterous process of hands-on redactions.ballast is a relentless, wrenching, and gorgeously written book, a defiant reclamation of one of the most important but overlooked events in US history, and an essential contribution to contemporary poetry.
