The Purple Sun - A Poetic Journey Through Domestic Violence

Lori Jean Finnila

Synopsis

This is a book about domestic violence through poetry that shows the difference in meaning as it entwines all abuse. It brings on a new meaning of domestic violence as it has been portrayed in the past and portrayed at all. It brings in different forms of crime used as retaliation to women making choices on their own and innocent children that are dragged into it.

Lori has written using art forms to help visually tell her stories of her poems. This helps connect with the meaning of her words in her books. She hopes her books shed light opening expressions.

Lori writes books for self improvement to strength, expression, and endurance. She captures her life as well as others to create her poems and stories. God has been beside her throughout her journey.

'I hope this book finds you a place where you feel no shame or guilt in your life, whatever that may be. I hope you will find fulfillment in life as we all should but knowingly how hard the walls are put up to this. In all there will be beauty no matter what.'

Top 10 Poets – The U S The -...

Wallace Stevens, Edna St....

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
The United States may be far younger than many nations on Earth, yet its tumultuous history has reaped a harvest of poets and poetry of very fine calibre.  In this volume we explore the verse of the Mid-Atlantic.

Diary of an Old Soul - Annotated...

George MacDonald

"Be thou the well by which I lie and rest;

Be thou my tree of life, my garden ground;

Be thou my home, my fire, my chamber blest,

My book of wisdom, loved of all the best;

Oh, be my friend, each day still newer found,

As the eternal days and nights go round!

Nay, nay—thou art my God, in whom all loves are bound!"
In 1880, the prolific author George MacDonald self-published a long poem in book form as a gift for his friends. He called it, in full, A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul. It contained a new seven-line stanza for each day of the calendar year, written as prayers expressing MacDonald's longings, struggles, and joys in everyday life.
The Diary was originally printed with a blank page facing every page of poetry so that readers could supplement MacDonald's diary with their own. This feature in particular, along with the spiritual wisdom and literary artistry of the text itself, was beloved by C. S. Lewis, who gave a copy of the book to his future wife, Joy Davidman, as a Christmas gift in 1952.
Now in this deluxe edition, MacDonald's classic devotional resource is again available with the blank pages he envisioned alongside the complete text. With a new introduction and explanatory notes by historian Timothy Larsen, the beloved writer's prayers find new life for enthusiasts and first-time readers alike.

- Complete text of MacDonald's classic work—one poem for each day of the year
- Thoughtful layout with a blank page for journaling opposite each poem
- Introduction and annotations by historian Timothy Larsen
- Deluxe features including cloth binding and bookmark ribbon

Unexhausted Time

Emily Berry

Unexhausted Time inhabits a world of dream and dawn, in which thoughts touch us 'like soft rain', and all the elements are brought closer in.

Feelings, messages, symbols, visions . . . Emily Berry's latest collection takes shape in the half-light between the real and the imagined, where everything is lost and yet 'nothing goes away'. Here life's innumerable impressions, moods, seasons and déjà vus collect and disarrange themselves, while a glowing, companionable 'I' travels the mind's landscapes in hope of refuge and transformation amid these displaced moments in time. Whether one reads Unexhausted Time as a long poem to step into or a series of titled and untitled fragments to pick up and cherish, the work is healing and inspiring, always asking how we might harness the power of naming without losing life's 'magic unknownness'. By offering these intangible encounters, Emily Berry more truly presents 'what being alive is'.

'Emily Berry has a refreshingly free, not to say incendiary, approach to poetry.' Observer
