I am a Methodist and I count myself very fortunate to be so encouraged and uplifted by our wonderful ministers. I am also both lucky and deeply grateful that I am still able to comfortably travel on buses, trains, and in cars, to fly on planes, and to walk with the aid of my crutches. Old! Who, Me? God bless you all.
For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture. Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere. These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise. The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written. And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias. With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share. This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing. Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.Mostra libro
Me, You, Then Snow by Khashayar Mohammadi is a collection of poetry woven from dreams, memories and deep-seeded longing, a collection of poetry that ranges from ambiguously addressed love-letters, to ekphrastic poems for arthouse cinema, to pieces written near midnight when the day’s experiences rush back into view. Though working in diverse forms and styles, the poetry manifests as a profoundly unified desire to experience and communicate the world.Mostra libro
The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork. But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job. In this volume we bring together those professionals we engage to bring the full force of the law to bear where we have been wronged, either personally or professionally. Despite the complex morals of such work their verse sparkles with knowing and humane wisdom.Mostra libro
In a day where technology and numbers dominate and scream at our brains, we are slowly forgetting how to whisper and cradle our hearts with its language. We slowly leave our hearts blind by drifting art from its eyes and our hearts deaf by silencing poetry. We forget the importance of these fundamental things in our lives and the importance of different forms of art, which keep our hearts at peace and belong in the home it longs for.Mostra libro
Dante Alighieri’s Inferno is the first part of The Divine Comedy, a poetic journey through Hell. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante travels through nine concentric circles of torment, each punishing souls according to the gravity of their sins—from lust and gluttony to treachery and betrayal. As he descends deeper into the frozen core where Satan resides, Dante confronts the consequences of moral corruption and divine justice. A profound allegory of spiritual crisis and redemption, Inferno blends vivid imagery, classical philosophy, and Christian theology to explore human sin, repentance, and the soul’s path toward God.Mostra libro
