  In this volume a young woman grows through and beyond erotic love to reach the love known as agape. 
  Poems of This Century is a book that rises from the human to explore the divine. Reflecting the joy of youth and the wisdom of age, shaped by the pain of the human condition, this poetry takes the reader on a journey of hope. 
  This book, in parts only too human and scattered with wry and humorous observations, is nevertheless an attempt to describe that intensified experience of the mystical called by others, the cloud of unknowing, the heat of love, the lightness of being, ecstasy, the peak experience. . .

  The Poetry of Khalil Gibran -...

  Kahlil Gibran

  Gibran Khalil Gibran was born on 6th January 1883 in the village of Bsharri, Beirut Vilayet, then part of the Ottoman Empire 
  His mother took him and his siblings to the United States in 1895 where he was enrolled into a Boston school and his creative talents soon noted.  He was sent home to be schooled at the Collège de la Sagesse in Beirut but returned to Boston following the death of his youngest sister in 1902.  Within a year his mother had also died. 
  In 1904, Gibran's drawings were displayed for the first time and, a year later, his first book, in Arabic, was published in New York City.  With financial help from a benefactress he studied art in Paris from 1908 and here his path crossed with dissident Syrian exiles.  Over the years he would meet many more like-minded exiles who were exploring ways to overthrow the yoke of the Ottoman Empire.   
  By 1911 he had settled in New York working on his drawings and paintings which were now being regularly exhibited. His writing was also attracting much attention and gaining an audience.   
  His first book in English, ‘The Madman’ became an international phenomenon.  Whilst his writing has overshadowed his visual works there is no doubt that a copy of ‘The Mad Man’ is never far from any bookshelf.  This and other works have ensured his stature as an artist is world-wide and that it continues into these more modern times.  Gibran was regarded as a literary rebel and a leading figure of the Arabic literary Renaissance and made influential contributions to Western poetry, stories and thought. 
  Khalil Gibran died on 10th April 1931 in New York City from cirrhosis and incipient tuberculosis in one lung.  He was 48.   
  Gibran was one of a number of Arab intellectuals and writers who lived in the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century and who had a great influence on the development of modern Arabic literature through the exploration of Western literary movements.  The group was presided over by Gibran himself and was baptized Arrabitah, or “The League.”  Its influence is acknowledged as fundamental. 
  In this volume of poetry Gibran is able to capture and demonstrate and enlighten much of the human condition and the wonder of the world around him.

  How News Travels - POEMS

  This is a debut collection of poetry read by the author. 
  The specific beauties of the poems in Judy Katz’s How News Travels have to do with their accounts of actual human living—among family, among friends, in the real world, with its griefs and losses and growth, its immersions in time, hour by hour, day by day, its immersions in consciousness. The other beauty here, the perpetual beauty, is the illumination—the afterglow, the underglow, the aurora—with which the poet cradles and surrounds her world. A clarifying, eloquent distillation of the truth of our experience, and a wonderful book.  
  — Vijay Seshadri  
  By exploring presence and absence and presence in absence, Judy Katz creates quietly revelatory elegies and odes for the shifting relationships of mid-life: the death of a mother, the independence of grown children, the intimacy of romance and trust between husband and wife. These poems feel both inevitable and surprising, as they invite us into the passage of time. “There is a trail I can follow–– / each of us leaves it, / our light impress…” she writes, and we are transformed by her attention to detail, fresh imagery, and wonder. This is a collection to savor, for “who can sleep / when it keeps arriving / over and over / the world, the world.”  
  — Ellen Bass 
  The voice is so alive, often so playful—and again and again, you will find yourself in a dialogue with the unknowable....How News Travels is a stunning book.  
  — D. Nurkse
