Sinopsis

The Four Vedas, the ‘Rigveda’, ‘Yajurveda’, ‘Samaveda’ and the ‘Atharvaveda’ are the primary texts of Hinduism. They comprise vast collections of poems and hymns, composed in archaic Sanskrit by Indo-European-speaking peoples that flourished in northwest India during the 2nd millennium BC. These sacred works celebrate a wide pantheon of gods, including natural and cosmic phenomena, as well as abstract qualities. The ‘Rigveda’, the foremost of the Vedas, is among the oldest extant texts of world literature. Noted for their beautiful language and metrical brilliance, these hymns reveal philosophical depth and great spiritual understanding. Delphi’s Eastern Treasures Series provides eReaders with rare and precious texts of Asian literature, featuring prominent works of history, fiction, religion and philosophy, complemented with the original texts.  This eBook presents the complete four Vedas, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    'Here I am, weightless / 
    now take me home' 
    So That You Know is the quintessential Mani Rao collection. These are poems that hold the playful exuberance of youth and the dazzling insight of age; that are at times measured, at times extravagant. What unites them is their commitment to mining deep into the recesses of the heart and offering moments of ecstatic revelation. 'Every morning you would breathe me fly,' says the poet, and one can feel the words take wing. 
    Mani Rao's work has, over the years, acquired a reputation for battering against the doors of poetic convention, experimenting with form and language, and untethering images so they run fast and thick. Part visual, part text, So That You Know stands testimony to the mischief and anarchy of her poetry. 
    If Mani Rao's language has been described as 'molten lava', here is the book that reminds you why. Each stanza-searing, incandescent, unstoppable.

    The 61 poems in White Terror Black Trauma concentrate on some of the most traumatic events in Black history from colonial to contemporary times, from the arrival of enslaved Africans in 1619 to Black revolts, Civil War atrocities, incalculable lynchings, the Tulsa massacre, the brave sacrifices of Rosa Parks, the Freedom Riders, the heroes of school desegregation, the murders of Emmet Till, Dr. King, Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, Eric Garner, and Tyre Nichols. And so many other Black tragedies.  
     
     
    Each poem here carries a brief head note identifying the person, place, time, or event that addresses the historical context of the poem. Some poems are written in a his/her recollection of the historical event. Above all, each poem highlights the topography of Black trauma, be that a Civil War fort, a lynching tree, a prison, a school, an island, a ghetto, a river, a national monument, a church, or city street. These resistance poems are chronicles, laments, petitions, heroic recollections about racial attacks on Black people in America.

    Breathing in Broken Spaces 
    Heartbreak. Trauma. Loss. Healing. Rebirth. 
    Some wounds don’t just fade—they shape us. 
    Breathing in Broken Spaces is an unfiltered and deeply personal poetry collection that delves into the rawest corners of heartbreak, trauma, and survival. Through piercingly honest verses, Belinda Daou lays bare the loneliness of grief, the weight of past wounds, and the quiet, aching process of piecing oneself back together after being shattered. 
    This book is for those who have loved and lost, for the ones carrying silent battles within them, and for anyone searching for words that echo their unspoken pain. It is a safe space where emotions aren’t just expressed—but truly seen, understood, and honored. 
    This collection gives voice to the devastation of toxic love, the suffocation of manipulation, and the slow erosion of self-worth at the hands of the wrong person. It speaks to the ones who have stayed too long, who have fought for love that only broke them, and who are now learning to unlearn the lies they were told about themselves. 
    More than just poetry, Breathing in Broken Spaces is a reckoning with the past and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is breathtakingly raw, unapologetically vulnerable, and deeply real. It is the brutal honesty of suffering, the messy in-between of healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep breathing, even when the air feels heavy. 
    This collection is not just about pain—it is about survival. About learning to breathe again through the cracks of brokenness. About reclaiming the parts of yourself you thought were lost forever. 
    For those who have been lost in the darkness, this book is a whisper: 
    You are not alone. You were never too much. You deserve to be whole.
