When the Father asked, ‘Do you want to write?’ the invitation was presented, and the response was a resounding ‘Yes!’ This book offers a unique opportunity to glimpse into the Father’s heart, as the author put pen to paper, often unsure of what would come forth. Within these pages, you will find solace for the lonely, hope for the longing, and comfort for those who feel forgotten. You may even discover your own story woven into the lines. At times, you will find yourself choking back tears, while at others, smiling at the victories. Yet, you will never be left without hope, just as the Father intended. Each poem takes you on a soul-stirring journey, opening up your imagination. Much like the man in the hospital who found his Savior at the very end, or the woman in the park who discovers the answer she desperately seeks, these poems offer connection and guidance. The young teenager, unsure of her path, finds the courage to step out and embrace Hope. The poems in this collection are both inspiring and encouraging. Each one is unique and timely, serving as a gentle reminder of the deep love and care the Creator has for every human being. As you spend time meditating on the lines penned herein, you will undoubtedly find yourself uplifted and enriched.Zum Buch

A poetic sequence using the 1841 slave revolt aboard the brig Creole as a lens through which to view the vitality of Black lives and the afterlife of slavery.In 1841, the only successful, large-scale revolt of American-born enslaved people erupted on the ship Creole. 135 people escaped chattel slavery that day. The event was recounted in US Senate documents, including letters exchanged between US and British consulates in The Bahamas and depositions from the white crew on the ship. There is no known record or testimony from the 135 people who escaped. Their story has been lost to time and indifference. Quenton Baker’s ballast is an attempt at incomplete redress.With imagination, deep empathy, and skilled and compelling lyricism, Baker took a black marker to those Senate documents and culled a poetic recount of the Creole revolt. Layers of ink connect readers to Baker’s poetic process: (re)phrasing the narrative of the state through a dexterous process of hands-on redactions.ballast is a relentless, wrenching, and gorgeously written book, a defiant reclamation of one of the most important but overlooked events in US history, and an essential contribution to contemporary poetry.Zum Buch
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. In this volume we gather together those poets and their verse who celebrated the return of the Monarchy to the country after the volatile upheavals of the Puritan years.Zum Buch
