Beschreibung

Rik Emmett’s second collection originated during the dark limbo of COVID-19: 2021–22. Five parts go from autofictional narration to observations on the modern world, moving inside out, then outside in. Eventually, Leaning Into It looks beyond. 
		 
Leaning Into … what? The prevailing chaos of narcissistic, egotistical, patrimonial power-mongering lends these poems renewed vitality, as the author’s frustration and disappointment with current undemocratic global politics play out. 
		 
How much leaning gets us a tiny bit closer to wisdom? Emmett favors the balatrones, jesters, fools, poets, comedians, and atheists in his social media feeds. “Power” ignores the balanced values of a sense of humor and a good-natured humility — but this poetry takes on the world as it is, ultimately leaning into hope.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    The Expressions are narrative events in a sequel of fictions and facts. In "emoji ride" e is the main character. By what provenance does "e" as a moji prevail and what does "little e crossing the con" signify? What's the ultimate strategy of "gopassgo?" How does still life move in "m black to blue?" What are the rules of expression? Do the "Meta-Postal Expressions" translate as "meta-speak?" As art, Meta-Postal Expressions mimic a fantasy creation. As literature, they seek to chronicle and expose the world in words from the inside out.

    Ash Wednesday

    T.S. Eliot

    Ash Wednesday marks a decisive turning point in the work of T. S. Eliot. Written after his conversion to Anglicanism, the poem abandons the fragmentation and irony of earlier modernism in favor of restraint, repetition, and spiritual tension. The voice that emerges is hesitant, disciplined, and deliberately limited.
    
    Structured as a sequence of meditative movements, the poem traces an inward journey defined by renunciation rather than revelation. Desire is examined, resisted, and re-ordered, as language circles around prayer, silence, and the difficulty of belief. Meaning is not asserted but approached through pattern, rhythm, and omission.
    
    Severe, austere, and exacting, Ash Wednesday stands as one of the central religious poems of the twentieth century—a work concerned less with certainty than with endurance and spiritual discipline.

    Deep Roots, Dark Forests explores the unseen, the unnoticed, and the uncared for in our lives. It's the simple everyday things that are the most fascinating—the flowers, the forest, the decaying architecture in an old southern town. It's the silent, quick blooms of an azalea, the big, pure magnolia blossoms, and the wide roots of a live oak that capture the attention here. 
    And there's also the fictitious melodies that whisper while amongst the trees or sipping morning coffee that makes their way into the collection. This is a record of the quiet moments and the loud ones, times when we feel haunted and at peace, and all the in-between. This isn't a work of fiction or of fact. These poems along with the photography embody a mix of truth and untruth—stories told from a slant.

    When your world falls apart, where does hope hide? 
    What if the breaking was never meant to destroy you — but to awaken you? 
    In Awaken: Finding Hope Beyond Brokenness, poet and life coach Ítala Veloso shares a testimony in verse — written for every soul that's ever felt lost, unseen, or too broken to begin again. 
    These poems are not polished prayers. 
    They are raw honesty, battle cries, tear-stained revelations, and encounters with grace. 
    Ítala walks with you from the depths of despair to the freedom of faith — reminding readers that healing, hope, and spiritual renewal are still possible, even in the darkest seasons. 
    Her words are prayers in motion, carrying the ache of human pain and the healing of God's love — a poetic journey through heartbreak, surrender, forgiveness, and the miraculous rebirth that only love in Christ Jesus can bring. 
    Awaken is a call to the lost, the broken, the weary, and the doubting: 
    to remember who you are, whose you are, and that no valley is too deep for resurrection. 
    Come as you are. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. You are already being made new. 
    Awaken.

    Hafiz was a Persian poet. His collected works (Divan) are regarded as a pinnacle of Persian literature. While influenced by Islam, his mystical works are highly regarded by Hindus, Christians and others, and his influence extends to several well-known writers such as Thoreau, Goethe, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. This modest collection of 43 poems is translated by Gertrude Bell. - Summary by Kevin Davidson and the Wikipedia
