In "Poems of James Russell Lowell," the reader is invited into a tapestry of lyrical expression woven with deep emotional resonance and keen social insight. Lowell, a transcendentalist and a leading figure in American romanticism, employs a unique blend of personal reflection and progressive themes, tackling issues such as abolitionism, social justice, and national identity. His poetry is marked by rich imagery and an innovative use of form, reflecting the aesthetic movements of his time, while also venturing into the philosophical explorations characteristic of 19th-century American literature. James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) was more than a poet; he was a cultural critic, educator, and diplomat whose literary journey was shaped by the tumultuous social currents of his era. With a profound commitment to social reform and an intellectual engagement with contemporary issues, Lowell'Äôs works often mirror his aspirations for a more equitable society. His academic background and experiences'Äîranging from his involvement in the abolitionist movement to his tenure as an editor for influential literary journals'Äîprovided a fertile ground for his poetic creations. For readers seeking a nuanced understanding of American poetics, "Poems of James Russell Lowell" serves as an essential collection that captures the heart of an era marked by change. This volume not only enriches the literary canon but also invites reflection on enduring social themes, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the interplay between art and society.

Into Light Volume Two - Poems by...

M. D. Friedman

INTO LIGHT is the sixth poetry collection from the international, award-winning poet, musician and artist, M. D. Friedman, and is his first full-length poetry book. It reflects the experiences, observations, dreams and epiphanies of a lifetime, speaks quietly about the calling of the heart and loudly about injustices of the world. Eclectic in style and content, M. D. Friedman's poetry connects both the inner and outer realities of a life well-lived. INTO LIGHT Volume Two: The Poems of M. D. Friedman, the audio book, contains the 22 poems from the middle M. D. Friedman's INTO LIGHT poetry book. For all things INTO LIGHT, e.g., print, e-book, audio book, album, musical and video poetry rendentions, please see liquidlightpress.com/IntoLight.htm. "These poems are the masterwork of a different kind of man than most men I’ve known in my 73 years. He is, as we used to say, 'his own man.' More than a disciple of some orthodox poetry 'church,' you'll meet a mindful, funny, wise and compassionate person in these texts, unafraid to speak honestly and vulnerably. From Li Po to Robert Johnson, memory care to contemporary politics, grieving lament to defiant slam, MD lays it all out about as clearly as a poet can while leaving enough tantalizing mystery to feed the reader's soul for days on end. He really believes, 'It is a miracle to be alive.'! His poems encourage me to believe it, too!!" ~ wayne a. gilbert, poet and Colorado Governor's Creative Leadership Award winner "This long anticipated poetry collection opens like a portal that will rainbow a monochrome world. Reminiscent of Rumi and Hafiz, you will taste the landscape with your tongue, unable to separate your own inner body from the mountains and sky you inhabit, 'not the waterfall, but the water falling,' ... 'no longer sculpted by gravity.” A love poem to life herself, you will want to take your time, savoring each languid line. 'I am taken by how much I need this.'!" ~ Valerie A Szarek, award winning poet
