Summary

Most poets recollect or describe the present. In her third book of poems, Laura Quinney (whose “superbly spare meditations” Harold Bloom compared to the poetry of Paul Celan and Emily Dickinson) does something more uncanny: recalling what it once was like to anticipate the future, she remembers what she thought the past would look like from the present moment, and in so doing deepens the meaning of memory. This is her third book of poetry.
Available since: 01/06/2024.

    The Prophet is a book of prose poetry that made its Lebanese-American author Kahlil Gibran famous.
Originally published in 1923, the book begins with a man named Almustafa living on an island called Orphalese. Locals consider him something of a sage, but he is from elsewhere and has waited twelve years for the right ship to take him home. From a hill above the town, he sees his ship coming into the harbor, and realizes his sadness at leaving the people he has come to know. The elders of the city ask him not to leave. He is asked to tell of his philosophy of life before he goes, to speak his truth to the crowds gathered. What he has to say forms the basis of the book.

    In the shadow of war, love and loyalty collide. 
White Plains, 1776 — Amid the chaos of the Revolutionary War, John and Rachel are torn between family, duty, and an unbreakable love that defies the very fabric of their divided world. His father is a Loyalist; she’s the daughter of a passionate Patriot. Their families' bitter rivalry has always kept them apart, but the arrival of the British Redcoats shatters their lives forever. 
When the Redcoats march into town, the upheaval thrusts John into the Continental Army, while Rachel is left to face the ravages of war in a community now torn apart by violence and fear. As the flames of revolution burn brighter, they are separated by miles, loyalties, and battles that seem impossible to survive. 
In this unforgettable historical saga, will love be strong enough to survive the horrors of war? Or will the price of freedom be too high for their hearts to endure? 
Richly evocative and heart-wrenching, Love & Revolution explores the tender, passionate ties that bind—and the devastating choices war demands.
