Gatekeeper - Poems

Patrick Johnson

A prize-winning poetry collection that delves into the dark wood of the digital underworld: “Impressive . . . thought-provoking.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) What is the deep web? A locked door. A tool for oppression and for revolution. “An emptying drain, driven by gravity.” And in Patrick Johnson’s Gatekeeper—selected by Khaled Mattawa as the winner of the 2019 Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry—it is the place where connection is darkly transfigured by distance and power. So we learn as Johnson’s speaker descends into his inferno, his Virgil a hacker for whom “nothing to stop him is reason enough to keep going,” his Beatrice the elusive Anon, another faceless user of the deep web. Here is unnameable horror—human trafficking, hitmen, terrorism recruitment. And here, too, is the lure of the beloved. But gone are the orderly circles of hell. Instead, Johnson’s map of the deep web is recursive and interrogatory, drawing inspiration and forms from the natural world and from science, as his speaker attempts to find a stable grasp on the complexities of this exhilarating and frightening digital world. Spooky and spare, Gatekeeper is a striking debut collection and a suspenseful odyssey for these troubled times. “These fascinating poems rest on the assumption that each of us has two selves: one that occupies space in the ‘real’ world and another that exists only in a movie that plays continuously at the back of our minds. With our hands on a computer keyboard, we have a third, cyborg, self. The poetic enactment of the splitting of these multiple selves is mesmerizing.” —Mary Jo Bang

Faust Parts 1 & 2

Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price
A fresh, performable version by John Clifford of Goethe's 'unstageable' masterpiece.
God and Mephistopheles vie for the mortal soul of Dr Faust. Signing a pact with the nihilistic spirit, Faust is privy to knowledge unbound and sensual delights of which most men can only dream. But before long, the Doctor comes to realise that you should always be very careful what you wish for.
Goethe began working on Faust in about 1772-5. He published a first fragment of it in 1790, then the whole of Part One in 1808. He saw the first performance of Part One in Brunswick in 1829, and was still making minor revisions to Part Two shortly before his death in March 1832.
This two-part English version by John Clifford, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, was first performed at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in February 2006.
'A thoroughly modern interpretation, a litany of society's soul-selling compromises - sexual commoditisation, academic dumbing-down and capitalistic rapaciousness - that is entirely about today. It's frequently funny but never less than serious' - Guardian

Ascension The Path To Liberation

Justin Wesenberg

Ascension is a poetry book about finding freedom so that you can realize your highest potential in this lifetime. For those who are ready to liberate their soul and find complete freedom. 
This inspirational poetry book was inspired by my time living at an ashram receiving teachings from Shiva, The Archangels and Ascended Masters, and Divine Mother. 
Ascension is a poetry book about finding freedom and the divine light within. No matter what deity you worship, or who you pray to we are all a part of the eternal. One consciousness. One community. One collective. 
When we are willing to see beyond the illusion of duality we will come to understand the truth. This essential truth has been written into all spiritual traditions and religious practices throughout human history… 
This is the greatest teaching of all wise spiritual teachers and traditions. We must learn to embody love. 
This book has three sections. The first is dedicated to the guru of yoga Lord Shiva, the second is dedicated to the Archangels and Ascended Masters, and the third section is dedicated to Divine Mother. 
By following the teaching that have been laid out by those who have come before us we can learn to embody our highest light and share our greatest gifts with each other and the planet. 
Get the book and find freedom within! 
Ascension is the second book in the Starseed Awakening Series. Get all the books in the series at: https://starseedawakening.academy
