Sinopsis

The Complete Poetical Works of John Milton presents a comprehensive collection of the celebrated poet's writings, encapsulating his profound engagement with themes of divine justice, free will, and human frailty. Milton's literary style exhibits a remarkable mastery of blank verse, employing rich imagery and complex syntax that reflect his deep theological and philosophical reflections. Covering seminal works such as 'Paradise Lost,' 'Paradise Regained,' and his exquisite sonnets, this compilation not only showcases the evolution of Milton's poetic craft but also situates it within the socio-political upheaval of 17th-century England, a time marked by civil war and profound ideological shifts. John Milton (1608-1674), a prominent figure in English literature and a staunch advocate for civil liberties, was influenced by his fervent belief in Puritanism and his experiences during the English Civil War. His profound personal convictions and political engagements often intersect with his artistry, leading him to explore the intricate relationship between man and the divine, ultimately crafting narratives that challenge both his contemporaries and future generations. Milton's blindness later in life added a poignant layer to his reflections on vision, insight, and the human condition. This anthology is an essential read for anyone seeking to delve into the rich tapestry of Milton's thought and artistry. It is not merely a collection of poems but an invitation into a dialogue with one of literature's most formidable minds. For students, scholars, and poetry enthusiasts alike, Milton's works offer a timeless exploration of the human spirit's conflicts and aspirations.

The Milk Job is a contemporary poetic retelling of the biblical Book of Job, inspired by the author’s own struggle to cope with personal tragedy and suffering – a struggle that is shared by all of humanity.  Using the literary device of the allegory and following the tradition of classical narrative poetry, Samuel Kilroy tells the tale of a hapless modern day Job, a tenant dairy farmer who overnight loses all he owns and loves in this world – his farm, his cows, and his milk. Like the biblical Job he endeavors to make sense of the calamity that befalls him as he goes through the emotional turmoil that is common to all humans who experience great loss. He seeks an explanation for his misfortunes from his landlord (“His Lordship,” as he refers to him), and ultimately finds a way to move on when an answer, which at first seems illusory, is provided.This carefully crafted, concise retelling of the Book of Job provides a fresh take on the meaning of Job’s suffering.  It will appeal to those who value biblical contemplation and to those who enjoy storytelling through poetry, but, above all, it is shared in the hope that this version of Job’s travails and fortitude will provide meaningful comfort and guidance to those suffering through their own personal trials.

Emotions. They drive us forward, striving to achieve the unthinkable. 
But they can also drag us down, tear us apart, and leave us unwilling to barely lift our heads. 
Well, I've experienced both sides of this spectrum. And in my first-ever full-length audiobook, Emotions Felt to the Bone, I share these journeys with you in the form of poetry. 
Some are joyful; others are harrowing. Some evoke humor, and others, hopelessness. 
Writing and narrating this compilation of poetry has been one of the better emotional experiences in my life. And I want nothing more than to share it with you.
