Beschreibung

Gitanjali, a seminal work by Rabindranath Tagore, is a collection of poignant poems that explore the themes of spirituality, devotion, and the existential relationship between the self and the divine. Tagore's literary style, characterized by its lyrical beauty and profound depth, reflects the influence of Indian classical music and folk traditions, seamlessly merging them into a universal quest for truth. Published in 1910, Gitanjali is not only a testament to Tagore's mastery of language but also a landmark in the literary context of the Bengali Renaissance, which sought to fuse Eastern and Western ideals of art and philosophy. Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European Nobel laureate in Literature, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a family renowned for its contributions to the arts. His formative years were marked by a quest for spiritual understanding and an exploration of the human condition, elements that permeate Gitanjali. The socio-political landscape of early 20th-century India also shaped his perspectives, prompting him to weave themes of nationalism and ethical consciousness into his work, thus enriching its resonance. I highly recommend Gitanjali to readers seeking a profound exploration of spirituality and a deeper understanding of the self through poetic expression. Tagore's verses invite contemplation and evoke emotion, making this work a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and resonate with audiences across cultures.

    Writing poetry always seems to be something we learn at school, usually beginning with a couplet of child-like rhyme that brings gales of laughter.  Later it may be agonising over a verse or two attempting to rhapsodise on love and then the years roll on with only an occasional desire to return.   
     
    In this volume we put together wordsmiths of the highest caliber as they write on Poets themselves.  Many of the poems provide valuable insights on how other poets are seen by their peers.  Some are deeply personal others are abstract.  Whether they speak at the celebration of a birth or the knowing tragedy of entering a slaughterous battle these poets take us into new uncharted territories revealing their inner selves in raw and tender ways. 
     
    Yeats, Flecker, Benet, Yeats, Dickinson, Coleridge, Millay, Levy, Gurney are but a few of their number who speak with the clarity, the eloquence and the truth that only a poet can know….but all can share.

    Abigail, a children's book author haunted by past traumas, returns to her childhood home to care for her ailing father, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. 
    Shortly after her arrival, she is thrust into a nightmarish reality as she uncovers chilling family secrets. 
    Her journey becomes an intense battle for sanity, pulling her into a confrontation with her deepest fears and long-buried traumas. As she pieces together the past, she realizes her family's legacy is entwined with something far more sinister, leaving her to question what's real and what lies in the shadows of her mind. 
    This isn't a story about monsters in the closet. It's about the ones that linger behind your eyelids when you're too terrified to sleep. Within her father's unraveling mind and the suffocating walls of her childhood home, she senses something rotting, something watching. Each sleepless night pulls her deeper into a fractured reality where memory and hallucination blur, unearthing horrors that refuse to stay buried. 
    Relentlessly unsettling, Purgatory is a horror story without mercy-an exploration of memory, identity, and the terrifying possibility that once you've crossed certain lines, there's no coming back. The end of daze.

    Gone Writing: The Poems of Moore...

    Humorous poetry from the television program hosted by a beloved Minnesota news anchor. 
    In the 1950s, Dave Moore, a young actor born and raised in Minneapolis, accepted a newscaster position with the local CBS affiliate, WCCO-TV-a job Walter Cronkite turned down. For the next three decades, until his death in 1998, he delivered the evening news with integrity, conviction, humor, and flair, making him a fixture in Minnesota living rooms.  
    At the end of his weekly news-in-review program, Moore on Sunday (or, as he liked to call it, “Moron Sunday”), Moore often signed off by reciting a poem. These poems, composed by Moore’s son Peter and collected here for the first time, offer a fresh and funny take on the common and not-so-common stuff of our everyday lives. Reminiscent of Ogden Nash and Tom Lehrer, with a dash of Dr. Seuss, Peter Moore’s verse captures the essence of his father’s wit, common sense, honesty, and warmth.
