"Luci Shaw is a legend" —Christianity Today This captivating collection of poems by beloved author Luci Shaw, reflects on daily ideas and activities as they arrive, bit by bit, to illuminate us with their wisdom and enlarge on the meanings of human experience. Like small messages from beyond, these incidents call us to pay attention. In An Incremental Life, Shaw breathes life into the simpleness of the every-day and finds God in the memory of the mundane. Through her verses, she explores the intricate tapestry of existence, from the tender memories of childhood to the profound questions of mortality. Her poems are like windows opening to the soul, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and savor the beauty of the world around them. INCREMENTS I live by increments, single breaths of an ambient air, marking off hours, days. Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio in sequentiae, edging every step forward before venturing the next. Staggering up towards the stony crests of the foothills, dusty, I am almost undone with weariness, only half believing that the view will widen. In my falling upward into your home, O Faithful One, stay with me, your wind music playing the ear of my mind like an instrument. "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci ShawVer livro

In the Victorian age that great adventurer Phileas Fogg attempted to traverse the globe in a mere 80 days using only the existing transport infrastructure and his own nous. Today the globe can be spanned much quicker and in more comfortable fashion but alas without much of the intrigues, stories and landscape that accompanied Mr Fogg and made the trip so exciting. In this volume we have an answer: Let’s travel the globe with the words and verse of 80 esteemed and voluble poets. Let’s explore places, peoples, philosophical musings on our world and all manner of things that Mr Fogg had no access to. With the words of classic poets such as John Keats, Rabindranath Tagore, Du Fu and Edna St Vincent Millay as your companions it’s one heck of a journey. 1 - Around the World in 80 Poems - An Introduction 2 - Travel by Edna St Vincent Millay 3 - Travel by Robert Louis Stevenson 4 - A Ballad of London by Richard Le Gallienne 5 - The World State by G K Chesterton 6 - The Drunken Boat by Arthur Rimbaud 7 - In the Train and at Versailles by Dante Gabriel Rossetti 8 - Train Ride by Federico Garcia Lorca 9 - I Go on Dreaming of Paths by Antonio Machado 10 - Sonnet I by Fernando Pessoa 11 - Sonnet on Approaching Italy by Oscar Wilde 12 - To Italy by Radclyffe Hall 13 - Sicily December 1908 by Henry Van Dyke 14 - Sonnet to Lake Leman by Lord Byron 15 - Pathways by Rainer Maria Rilke 16 - In the Black Forest by Amy Levy 17 - Calm at Sea by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 18 - Sonnet to Ocean by Thomas Hood 19 - In Amsterdam by Eugene Field 20 - Sonnet at Ostend July 22nd 1787 by William Lisle Bowles 21 - Belgium by Edith Wharton 22 - Forced March by Miklos Radnoti 23 - Autumn Evening in Serbia by Francis Ledwidge 24 - The Cretan Dance by Sappho 25 - The Isles of Greece by Byron 26 - Sailing to Byzantium by W B Yeats 27 - Constantinople by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu 28 - Beirut Wedding Poem by Tim Graham 29 - The Life of Love - Spring by Khalil Gibran 30 - Gates of Damascus by James Elroy Flecker 31 - Walk to Caesarea by Hannah Senesh 32 - The City of Baghdad by Sultan Bahu 33 - Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley 34 - To the Nile by Keats 35 - Ode to Ethiopia by Paul Laurence Dunbar 36 - My Africa by Gladys May Casely Hayford 37 - Africa by Lewis Alexander 38 - Poem by Sarah of Yemen 39 - Sleepless I Kept the Night Vigil by Khansa 40 - The Golden Journey to Samarkand by James Elroy Flecker 41 - A World with No Boundaries by Jalaluddin Rumi 42 - All Pervading Consciousness by Farid ud-Din Attar 43 - The Cloud on the Mountain by Alama Iqbal 44 - In the Bazaars of Hyderabad by Sarojini Naidu 45 - To the City of Bombay by Rudyard Kipling 46 - An Old Tibetan Rug by Else Lasker Schuler 47 - Dawn by Du Fu 48 - Chiang Chin Chiu by Li Po 49 - In Praise of May by Akiko Yosano 50 - Having Slept The Cat Gets Up by Kobayashi Issa 51 - The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear 52 - The Loji Expedition by Tom Hood 53 - The Ocean by Nathaniel Hawthorne 54 - A Song for January the 26th 1824 by Charles Tompson 55 - Brother, You'll Take My Hand by Henry Lawson 56 - Tiare Tahiti by Rupert Brooke 57 - A Song of the Panama Canal by Damon Runyon 58 - Tezcotzinco by Alan Seeger 59 - Down By The Carib Sea by James Weldon Johnson 60 - North and South by Claude McKay 61 - Bermudas by Andrew Marvell 62 - Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman 63 - New York at Night by Amy Lowell 64 - The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus 65 - Away to Canada by Joshua McCarter Simpson 66 - The Railway Station by Archibald Lampman 67 - Past One O'Clock by Vladimir Mayakovsky 68 - A Dish of Peaches in Russia by Wallace Stevens 69 - Aurora Borealis by Herman Melville 70 - Iceland First Seen by William Morris 71 - My Artificial Flowers by Edith Sodergran 72 - The Wayfarer by Patrick Pearse 73 - The Lake Isle of Inisfree by W B Yeats 74 - BeautiVer livro
Why I Am Not a Bus Driver is a moving and musical debut collection exploring grief, love and the power of community, from the author of The 392, Your Show and Wild East. The heart of this book beats in sync with that of the poet's late grandfather, as, sonnet after unconventional sonnet, Hickson-Lovence uncovers the micro-histories woven into the streets and journeys that shape us. These poems speak with Frank O'Hara, in their stream-of-consciousness lyricism, in meditations that dance like winding roads, both immediate and nostalgic. Committed to honouring the authentic and everyday, the real and true, human connection is the destination in this stirring collection, and every reader has a priority seat. "Among the most natural, elegant sonnet sequences I've read: a memorial, moving in its radical honesty and grace. What both broke and strengthened my heart about this collection is the sheer humanity and authentic curiosity that make a life feel meaningful, transfiguring both the extraordinary and the everyday with dignity, love and imagination. Just gorgeous." Luke Kennard "A moving collection attuned to the knowledge that poetry of the family is both plain and complex, that the dead sometimes require elegy and sometimes celebration; and all of this held within the strength and uncertainty that is the human-made body of the poem." Andrew McMillan "A heartfelt elegy to a grandfather, skilfully weaving themes of legacy, promises, influences and dreams. While the grandfather takes centre stage, England itself emerges as a powerful backdrop to the story. Hickson-Lovence's unified themes lend the book the feel of a novel-in-verse, yet each poem resonates with its own emotional strength. An endearing and enlightening read—don't miss it." Roger Robinson "Ashley Hickson-Lovence's debut collection offers an intricate reminiscence, an insight into fierce familial bonds and how they shape a life indefinitely. These poems pulse with longing, vulnerability and doubt, highlighting the human need for connection, the resilience that grows from loss, the certainty that comes when the love unfolds."
