The Signature of All Things

Jakob Böhme

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "The Signature of All Things," Jakob Böhme crafts a profound metaphysical treatise that explores the interconnectedness of nature, the divine, and human existence. Böhme employs a mystical style, weaving intricate symbolism and allegory into an accessible narrative that engages with contemporary philosophical and theological debates. Rooted in the early 17th century, the text reflects the burgeoning interest in science and mysticism, blending insights from alchemical traditions and Christian theology to articulate a worldview that underscores the presence of a divine signature within all creation. Jakob Böhme, a prominent mystic and philosopher, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of his time, as well as his own encounters with the divine. His experiences as a shoemaker in Görlitz allowed him to engage with the natural world intimately, which clearly shaped his thoughts on the relationship between humanity, nature, and the divine. Böhme's unique perspective emerged from a range of influences, including Neoplatonism and Lutheran thought, positioning him as a key figure in both mysticism and the development of modern philosophy. This seminal work is highly recommended for those seeking to delve into the spiritual dimensions of nature and existence. Readers interested in philosophy, theology, and mysticism will find Böhme's exploration enriching, as it offers profound insights that resonate with contemporary questions about the unity of life and the nature of the divine.

Moving House and other Poems...

Gillian Bickley

The old is contrasted with the new, fictional with actual life. Links are made between different cultures, different lives, different experiences. The expatriate life-style of constant movement runs parallel with the title of the book.
"Gillian Bickley writes as she responds to everyday events, always with the echo of 'time's winged chariot' in her ears. The fact of moving house sends her speeding back through the moves of a lifetime and forward to the last move, to the small room of the grave. The opening poem suggests the elusive presence of the author, and the deeper themes glimpsed through her deceptively simple poems. The variety of human life and the individual response to life, these are Gillian Bickley's central interests. The power that invigorates the poems in Moving House is the control of language. In this bare, tight poetry, no idle words are allowed. Its vocabulary draws on the base language of essences and epiphanies. The chosen spare language is the perfect partner for this poetry of mature experience." — Emeritus Professor I. F. Clarke and M. Clarke.
"The poetic observations of a sensitive writer responding to the reality of being alive." "Insightful probing into the darker issues of our lives . . . to make sense of human experience." — Paul Bench, Speech & Drama: Journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama.
"A privileged view into the emotional, intellectual and spiritual life of its writer." "The profound intimacy of the personal poems, reflecting universal truths about the human condition, renders the reader at once intruder and confidant." — Solveig Bang, Sunday Morning Post.
"Bickley's delicately-crafted poems are faithful word portraits of various aspects of Hong Kong at the turn of the millennium: its landscape, its people, its myths and spirits." —Tammy Ho, Asian Review of Books.

A Grotesque Animal

Amy Lee Lillard

At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. 
 
 
 
A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with an undiagnosed disorder. How did a working-class background and a deep-rooted Midwest culture of silence lead to hiding in plain sight for decades? How did sexuality and anger hide the roots of trauma among the women in her family? And what does it mean to be a queer, disabled, aging woman, a descendant of wild but tamed mothers and a survivor of the things patriarchy inflicts? 
 
 
 
Through wide-ranging styles and a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, Lillard dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Political corruption is a pervasive issue that has existed for centuries, shaping the course of governments and societies worldwide. It manifests in various forms, from bribery and fraud to nepotism and abuse of power. Regardless of the system of governance, corruption erodes trust, distorts policies, and undermines democratic principles. While many assume corruption is limited to authoritarian regimes, it is also deeply embedded in democratic institutions, where influence and money often dictate political decisions.  
  
The roots of corruption can be traced back to the earliest civilizations, where leaders sought personal gain at the expense of their people. Throughout history, political scandals have exposed the extent of corruption within governments, from financial embezzlement to electoral fraud. These cases serve as stark reminders of how unchecked power can lead to widespread deception and exploitation. Corruption is not only a moral failure but a structural issue that allows those in power to manipulate systems designed to serve the public.  
  
Beyond historical examples, the impact of corruption is far-reaching. It weakens economies by diverting public funds into private hands, leaving essential services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure underfunded. It fuels inequality, as the wealthy and well-connected benefit from corrupt dealings while the average citizen suffers. When corruption becomes the norm, public trust in institutions erodes, leading to political apathy, civil unrest, and, in extreme cases, the collapse of governments.
