Sinopsis

In 'Geography and Plays,' Gertrude Stein presents a unique amalgamation of experimental prose and dramatic sketches that challenge conventional narrative forms. The collection defies traditional plotting and character development, instead embracing a fragmented, cyclical style that mirrors the disorienting landscapes of modernity. Steeped in the avant-garde spirit of the early 20th century, Stein's work reflects her fascination with the fluidity of identity and perception, capturing the essence of a rapidly changing world through her characteristic playfulness and rhythm. Gertrude Stein, a prominent expatriate from America residing in Paris, was deeply influenced by the artistic movements surrounding her, including Cubism and Fauvism. Her close relationships with notable artists and writers, such as Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway, undoubtedly shaped her literary vision. Stein's own experiences of displacement and reinvention as a Jewish woman in a male-dominated literary world pushed her to explore innovative forms of expression, culminating in this influential collection that blurs the lines between genres. Readers are encouraged to engage with 'Geography and Plays' as a provocative exploration of language and identity. Stein's unconventional approach invites a fresh perspective on narrative and the subtleties of human experience, making this collection a crucial work for those interested in modernist literature and the evolution of artistic expression.

    Unfolding Light - Poems

    Poetry, like religion, is the practice of wonder—a way of being open, a way of reaching out to touch the hem of the world’s garment. Like the great spiritual teachers, poetry invites us to be radically present, to inhabit the world a little more closely, to attend a little more lovingly, with an awareness beyond the mere mind. The numinous shines right before our eyes, nonchalantly hidden, poorly disguised. The Divine lurks in the shadowy places. The Realm of Grace is at hand, among you, within you. There’s delight and suffering and mystery: everything the heart desires. We’re embedded in it. All we have to do is slow down and pay attention. Poetry is a way of letting the world come to you. These poems are offered to waylay us from the grind of productivity, off into the weeds of the divine. 
    Unfolding Light is a collection of 184 poems gathered from 45 years of writing. They are part of my practice of wonder. They include reflections on daily life, scripture passages, walking in the woods, contemplative prayer, the natural world, dogs, bees, and driving across Montana with a peach. They’re rooted in my observation that the world is a thin place, filled with mystery, the divine presence, tears of every kind, and abundant blessing.

    Ronald Franklin Saia was born a grandson to an Italian from Sutera, Sicily. Growing up in rural Kentucky gave Ronald a deep feeling in his soul for the outdoors. He hunted, trapped, rode his buckskin mare Old Beauty, slept under the stars, and cooked super over an open camp fire. He is a real American partriot. While Ronald worked his way through college, he lived at home with his precious mother, Mary, and father, Victor. What a blessing it was for God to have chosen them for his parents. 
    For a time, he worked in Venezuela where he met his wife, Barb. He has traveled in South and Central America, and Europe. Ronald's inspirational poetry is straight from his heart and represents a true appreciation for creation and God's works along with life's experiences and personal observations.
