  AWAKEN: Finding Hope Beyond...

  Ítala Veloso

  When your world falls apart, where does hope hide? 
  What if the breaking was never meant to destroy you — but to awaken you? 
  In Awaken: Finding Hope Beyond Brokenness, poet and life coach Ítala Veloso shares a testimony in verse — written for every soul that's ever felt lost, unseen, or too broken to begin again. 
  These poems are not polished prayers. 
  They are raw honesty, battle cries, tear-stained revelations, and encounters with grace. 
  Ítala walks with you from the depths of despair to the freedom of faith — reminding readers that healing, hope, and spiritual renewal are still possible, even in the darkest seasons. 
  Her words are prayers in motion, carrying the ache of human pain and the healing of God's love — a poetic journey through heartbreak, surrender, forgiveness, and the miraculous rebirth that only love in Christ Jesus can bring. 
  Awaken is a call to the lost, the broken, the weary, and the doubting: 
  to remember who you are, whose you are, and that no valley is too deep for resurrection. 
  Come as you are. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. You are already being made new. 
  Awaken.

  Poetry Of The Geek

  Comic Book Artist and Pop Culture Geek, Dean Rankine doesn't know anything about writing poetry. But a little thing like that isn't going to stop him from writing a poem once a week for a year, putting those poems into a book and sending them out into the universe. 
  "Dean's poetry is like watching someone dragged upside down by a bolting robot horse through a cacti patch. It's exhilarating, you chortle, but then you're flooded with existential dread that we're all gonna die in stupid ways." - Ryan K. Lindsay (Beautiful Canvas, Deer Editor) 
  Narrated by Ben Sorensen 
  Recorded at the studios of BSE Australia for Shooting Star Press.

  The Holy Sonnets - Incredible...

  John Donne

  John Donne was born on the 22nd January 1572 in London, into a Roman Catholic family when Catholicism was illegal in England, and there was turbulence and unrest with both state and church throughout much of Europe.  
   
  His father, also named John, died when he was four, and his mother, Elizabeth Haywood, married a wealthy widower, ensuring the family were looked after.  He received a good education at both Oxford and Cambridge but was unable to obtain a degree without taking the oath of supremacy, which as a Catholic he refused to do.  
   
  During the 1590s, Donne wrote a wide range of verses, including both erotic and sacred poems, creating two major volumes of work.  His strong vivacious and sensual style fusing intellect and passion, as well as inventive use of subtle argument and syntax, provided a new radical perspective that reached beyond his contemporaries, and continued to chime and charm poetry lovers throughout the ages.  
   
  Difficult to believe that with this enormous talent, Donne lived in poverty for many years, exacerbated by his secret marriage to Anne Moore, which meant no dowry, and they having twelve children.  Later he served in Parliament and became Dean of St Paul's in 1621, noted for his learned and charismatic sermons.  
   
  John Donne died in London on the 31st March 1631, but leaves an enormous legacy of many splendid influential poems.  He was known as the founder of the Metaphysical Movement and is widely regarded as one of Britain's best-loved poets.

  The Poetry of Edna St Vincent...

  Elinor Morton Hoyt was born on 7th September, 1885 in Somerville, New Jersey and from age 12 grew up in Washington D C where her father served as assistant attorney general and later solicitor general.  Her early education together with her renowned beauty suggests she was being trained for life as a debutante but her life quickly found another route as she became absorbed in the world of books. 
   
  An early marriage following her graduation ended when, after being pursued by Horace Wylie, 17 years her senior and a married Washington lawyer with three children, she eloped to England with him.  His wife would not divorce him and the subsequent scandal was widely publicised further fueled by the suicide in 1912 of her abandoned husband. 
   
  With Wylie's encouragement she published in 1912, ‘Incidental Number’, assembled from poems of the previous decade. 
   
  Despite a child from her first marriage Elinor subsequently endured miscarriages, a stillbirth and a premature child who lived for only one week.  When Wylie’s deserted wife agreed to a divorce, the couple returned to the United States and married but they were already drawing apart. 
   
  In 1921, Elinor’s ‘Nets to Catch the Wind’, was published. It was an immediate success and a prize-winner.  In New York’s literary circles she found her next husband who acted as her agent – the poer William Rose Benét, brother of the famed Stephen. They married in 1923 and that same year ‘Black Armor’, was published. The New York Times said "There is not a misplaced word or cadence in it."  She also published her first of four novels, ‘Jennifer Lom’, to excellent reviews. 
   
  She worked for a time as the poetry editor of Vanity Fair, an editor of Literary Guild, and a contributing editor of The New Republic.  Her third book of poetry, ‘Trivial Breath’ arrived in 1928 as did the failure of her marriage with Benét.  
   
  She moved again to England and fell in love with a friend’s husband, to whom she wrote, and later published a series of 19 sonnets; ‘Angels and Earthly Creatures’. 
   
  Elinor Wylie suffered high blood pressure all her adult life and this eventually led to her death at Benet’s New York apartment on 16th December, 1928 where she suffered a stroke. She was 43.

  When We Dead Awaken (1899) is the last play by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. Dreamlike and highly symbolic, the play charts the dissolution of sculptor Arnold Rubek's marriage to Maia, her flirtation with Ulfheim, and his involvement with the mysterious Irene, his former model. The tensions rise between the characters as they climb higher and higher into the Norwegian mountains. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)
