Sinopse

In "Milton: Minor Poems," John Milton showcases his exceptional command of language and poetic form, delving into themes of love, nature, and the human experience through a collection of works that, while lesser-known than his epic "Paradise Lost," reveal his profound literary prowess. The poems reflect both the Renaissance ideals of beauty and harmony and the evolving complexities of human emotion, employing a range of styles from the lyrical to the narrative. Milton's use of rich imagery and classical allusions serves to illuminate the intricacies of the human condition, capturing moments of personal reflection and broader philosophical inquiries. John Milton (1608-1674) was a pivotal figure in English literature, and his diverse body of work was deeply influenced by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of 17th-century England, including his staunch advocacy for liberty and individualism. His encounters with censorship and personal loss inform the poignant themes within these minor works, providing a unique lens through which to view his creative output. Milton's experiences as a partisan writer and revolutionary thinker resonate throughout his poetry, reflecting a commitment to both artistic and intellectual freedom. Readers seeking to explore the nuanced emotions and philosophical reflections in free verse will find "Milton: Minor Poems" both enriching and enlightening. This collection invites contemplation of life's complexities, making it an essential read for enthusiasts of English poetry and those interested in the undercurrents of Milton's broader oeuvre. With each poem, Milton beckons us to delve deeper into the spiritual and material worlds, revealing insights that remain relevant across the ages.

    In stirring verse and essays, Katy Bowser Hutson chronicles her battle with breast cancer and the complications of faith amid such a fight. Accentuated by the art of Jodi Hays, Katy's words lead us through the realization of cancer, the experience of chemotherapy and a mastectomy, relentless rounds of radiation, the uncertainty of ongoing treatment, and what comes after survival. She writes in resistance to sickness, of wrestling toward beauty:
    Cancer is an overgrowth, a kudzu:Tangling and strangling legitimate life.
    
    Chemo is a killing, a burning out:
    
    Burning down to ashy carbon, indiscriminately
    
    But cancer, did you know that I am a poet?
    Through it all, she shows what it means to struggle in a battered body and to pray to a God who is near to the broken. Join her in this consideration of mortality and witness her persisting trust in God's unseen ways.

    Erica Hesketh's debut collection In the Lily Room tells a story of early motherhood. It examines a new mother's journey through mental illness, her relationships with her body, her baby and other people, and the often surreal landscape of mothering, against a backdrop of a changing and uncertain world.
    A dreamlike birth sequence full of eels, foxes and floodwater empties onto a London postnatal ward, where reality sets in. Rudderless and anxious, the new mother writes notes to herself, joins support groups and tries medication. She climbs into myth and prayer, nightmare and song, criss-crossing her neighbourhood with a pram, until she starts to feel better. Hesketh's poems speak of the many things motherhood can mean, the structures it is made to fit inside. Clear-eyed and full of hard-won love, this a story of one of the most common experiences there is, told in a dazzlingly original way.
