Beschreibung

In "Adonais," Percy Bysshe Shelley crafts a poignant elegy that mourns the untimely death of his contemporary John Keats. This lyrical masterpiece is structured as a pastoral elegy, infused with profound philosophical reflections on mortality, art, and the transient nature of beauty. Shelley's rich, evocative imagery and masterful use of blank verse create an almost musical quality that resonates with the emotional depth of grief and reverence. The work is situated within the Romantic literary context, characterized by themes of individualism, emotion, and a reverence for nature, as well as the broader interplay of life and death that permeates the movement's discourse. Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), an ardent advocate of radical thought and social justice, found his voice amid the political turbulence of early 19th-century England. His connections with Keats and other Romantics, and his own tragic experiences with loss, profoundly influenced "Adonais." Shelley'Äôs reflections on temporary existence and the enduring legacy of artistic creativity were not only personal but also a wider commentary on the vulnerability of the human spirit. "Adonais" is an essential read for anyone interested in the interplay between grief and beauty, and the quest for meaning in art. Shelley's exquisite language and depth of insight invite readers to contemplate their own experiences of loss, rendering it a timeless piece that resonates across generations.

    In the scintillating underworld of Miami, Zeus rules with an iron fist. As the formidable leader of the Family of God (F.O.G.), his ambitions stretch far beyond the city's glittering lights, aiming to monopolize both the United States and the Caribbean. 
    But Zeus's reign isn't just about power—it's about style, elegance, and high-stakes sophistication. 
    By his side is Destiny, his girlfriend and lover, whose beauty and cunning are matched only by her loyalty to Zeus. Together, they navigate a world where every move is a calculated risk, and every relationship is a fragile alliance. 
    Their lives are a mix of high fashion and deadly deals, blending the art of luxury with the ruthlessness of their operations. 
    Standing as Zeus's unwavering right hand is his best friend, Reel.  
    His loyalty to Zeus is unshakeable, forged through years of shared victories and narrow escapes. 
    Zeus is the tactical mastermind, the silent force behind F.O.G.'s most daring exploits. 
     His strategic brilliance and unflinching resolve make him an indispensable pillar in the F.O.G. empire, always ready to dive into the fray and turn the tide in their favor. 
    As the F.O.G. expands its influence, threats loom on the horizon. Rivals challenge their authority, and law enforcement inches closer, driven by a relentless desire to dismantle their empire. 
    The stakes are perilously high, and as love and loyalty are tested, Zeus and Destiny must use every ounce of their wit and charm to stay ahead. 
    "Gods of Miami" is a dazzling tale of power, seduction, and ambition, set in a city that is as dangerous as it is beautiful. 
    In this world, the boundaries between elegance and evil blur, and only the most cunning will rise to divine h 
    eights.

    Begin with a Question explores how the life of faith is a continuous voyage, launched anew each bright day of the spirit or dark night of the soul. This is a book of contemplation and motion, a journey—often in stops and starts—toward the Divine, a pilgrimage paved with prayer, praise, pause, penitence, and (of course) questions. Urgent and universal, joyful or joyless, tinged with doubt or rinsed with hope, here are honest queries that probe, lift, and lead to discovery.
    
    Begin with a Question keeps us moving, seeking, reaching, lifting us out of ourselves to something beyond. Using a variety of fixed forms and free verse, the poet examines our relationship to the one who asks, "Who do you say that I am?" A book for seekers, doubters, and believers alike, these poems bring us face to face with anguish, anger, awe, and adoration. They give us permission not to demand answers, but to follow the questions that lead to the Alpha and Omega, to the I AM that keeps us spiraling along this twisting path toward God.
    
    Begin with a Question is published under Paraclete Press's "Iron Pen" imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.

    INTO LIGHT is the sixth poetry collection from the international, award-winning poet, musician and artist, M. D. Friedman, and is his first full-length poetry book. It reflects the experiences, observations, dreams and epiphanies of a lifetime, speaks quietly about the calling of the heart and loudly about injustices of the world. Eclectic in style and content, M. D. Friedman's poetry connects both the inner and outer realities of a life well-lived. INTO LIGHT Volume Two: The Poems of M. D. Friedman, the audio book, contains the 22 poems from the middle M. D. Friedman's INTO LIGHT poetry book. For all things INTO LIGHT, e.g., print, e-book, audio book, album, musical and video poetry rendentions, please see liquidlightpress.com/IntoLight.htm. "These poems are the masterwork of a different kind of man than most men I’ve known in my 73 years. He is, as we used to say, 'his own man.' More than a disciple of some orthodox poetry 'church,' you'll meet a mindful, funny, wise and compassionate person in these texts, unafraid to speak honestly and vulnerably. From Li Po to Robert Johnson, memory care to contemporary politics, grieving lament to defiant slam, MD lays it all out about as clearly as a poet can while leaving enough tantalizing mystery to feed the reader's soul for days on end. He really believes, 'It is a miracle to be alive.'! His poems encourage me to believe it, too!!" ~ wayne a. gilbert, poet and Colorado Governor's Creative Leadership Award winner "This long anticipated poetry collection opens like a portal that will rainbow a monochrome world. Reminiscent of Rumi and Hafiz, you will taste the landscape with your tongue, unable to separate your own inner body from the mountains and sky you inhabit, 'not the waterfall, but the water falling,' ... 'no longer sculpted by gravity.” A love poem to life herself, you will want to take your time, savoring each languid line. 'I am taken by how much I need this.'!" ~ Valerie A Szarek, award winning poet

    Winner of the 2023 Christianity Book Award — Culture & The Arts!
    
    "One of the best, and least expected, anthologies in decades." —Joseph Bottum, Poetry editor, New York Sun
    
    Showcasing thirty-five American poets born in or after 1940, this anthology confirms that one of the most vibrant developments in contemporary verse has been a renewed engagement with the Christian faith. Across a full spectrum of Christian belief, including the struggle to believe at all, these poets bring the power of their art to bear on serious questions: how to understand the goodness of God in a fallen and tragic world, how to reconcile universal truths with the particularities of human experience, how to render familiar events of salvation history in new language that generates its own epiphanies.  As Christian engagement assumes a multiplicity of modes and voices, so does contemporary poetry in America. This volume, then, selective yet representative, features the work of early-, mid-, and late-career poets, formalists, free-verse poets, and experimenters in prosody. This anthology bears witness to the poetic mind as it seeks that which is above.
