  The collection Polemics: Political Poems & Prose takes the reader on a disturbing, wide-eyed ride through the years 2016-2025 in the United States.  It highlights the political nightmares and triumphs, both familiar and forgotten, experienced by Americans during this time.  
  To endure the tempest of the current era, Polemics clings faithfully to old-school liberal themes. These are delivered as rhyme, essay and fiction. Its affectionately nostalgic patriotism will resonate with anyone, who has been paying attention long enough to notice, that things have changed. And not for the better. 
   As Americans try to navigate an America they have never seen before—an America they barely recognize—Polemics will serve as an anthem, an incantation, and a call to action. This collection aims to guide their forlorn liberal souls through dark times, toward something better.

  The World That Is Coming Inside You

  This book is a T4T love letter to the living cosmos, to Jewish mystics who get a little slutty with it, to anarchists who make their every day-to-day choice as if the healed world is already here, to people whose gender identities are just on the verge of disintegrating. You are hereby invited to use this book as a sacred text, which is to say, to use this book as a sex toy, which is to say, to use this book as your incense, your needle, your wedge, your weapon in the waging of spiritual warfare against Control.

  "Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost."
  
  Embark on the ultimate pilgrimage of the human soul. Written while in exile, Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy is a towering achievement of world literature, a three-part journey that explores the totality of human experience, sin, and redemption. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil and the idealized Beatrice, Dante travels through the three realms of the afterlife in a quest to understand the justice and love of the divine.
  
  The Architecture of Justice: In Inferno, witness the meticulous "contrapasso"—the symbolic retribution where the punishment fits the crime. From the lustful swept by eternal storms to the treacherous encased in ice, Dante's vision of Hell is as terrifying as it is intellectually profound.
  
  The Path to Enlightenment: Ascend through Purgatorio, a realm of hope and effort, where the weight of worldly sin is slowly washed away. Finally, soar into Paradiso, where Dante transcends the physical world to explore the celestial spheres of heaven. Here, the poem transforms into a breathtaking work of light, geometry, and philosophical wonder, culminating in a vision of the "Love that moves the sun and the other stars."
  
  A Universal Masterpiece: The Divine Comedy is more than a religious text; it is a political satire, a romantic tribute, and a scientific encyclopedia of medieval thought. It remains the definitive map of the human conscience and one of the most beautiful poems ever composed.
  
  Walk the path of the soul. Purchase "The Divine Comedy" today and experience the height of the Western imagination.

  Four writers. 
   
  Three travelling in Portugal. 
   
  One staying behind to care for his ailing mother. 
   
  One long-distance writing affair. 
   
  The passing of the mother together with memories of other losses and absences come together in Lost Bodies, a meditation on the transience of time and love and an invitation to get away—physically or spiritually—from worldly concerns to explore a different history, a different culture, a different light, laced with dreamy scents and the faint calls of fado.

  Culprit Fay and Other Poems

  Joseph Rodman Drake

  A collection, The Culprit Fay and Other Poems, was published posthumously by his daughter in 1835. His best-known poems are the long title-poem of that collection and the patriotic "The American Flag" which was set as a cantata for two soloists, choir and orchestra by the Czech composer Antonin Dvorák in 1892-93, as his Op. 102. In the early part of the 19th Century both Drake and his friend Halleck were widely hailed by Americans as among the leading literary personalities and talents produced by this country. That they had been leading lights in the New York area was true, but the glimmer for both could not really hold. It was finally diminished by Edgar Allan Poe when he wrote a serious study of the two poets called The Halleck - Rodman Review. Looking at The Culprit Fay by Drake, Poe showed that the imagery many marveled at was quite second-rate and ordinary. In fact, he briefly invented new lines to show how easily it could be done. The reputations of both Drake and Halleck never recovered. (Summary excerpted from Wikipedia)
