Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Milton A Poem," William Blake presents a profound exploration of the dualities of existence—spirit and matter, imagination and reason—through a rich tapestry of poetic narrative interwoven with his stunning, original illustrations. Written in the context of the Romantic movement, this illuminated manuscript delves into the life and works of John Milton, particularly "Paradise Lost," serving as both tribute and critique. Blake's visionary style employs symbolic diction and intricate imagery, inviting readers to navigate the depths of his philosophical ideas while engaging with his striking visual artistry that transforms the text into an immersive experience. William Blake (1757-1827) was a visionary artist and poet who navigated the tensions of his time, witnessing the Industrial Revolution's impact on both society and the arts. His own tumultuous upbringing and fervent interest in mysticism and spirituality profoundly influenced his works, including "Milton A Poem," which reflects his quest for understanding the divine and the struggle between the rational mind and the creative spirit. Blake's unique position as both poet and artist enabled him to conceive a multi-dimensional narrative that challenges the prevailing literary norms of his era. This seminal work is a must-read for enthusiasts of Romantic literature and art alike. "Milton A Poem" not only provides insight into Blake's artistic vision but also invites the reader to engage with the transformative power of imagination and inspiration. Its intricate interplay of text and illustration enriches our understanding of both Blake and Milton, making this immersive masterpiece an essential addition to any literary collection.

Harbinger - Poems

Shelley Puhak

“The speaker in Shelley Puhak’s Harbinger is no closer to knowing herself than I am, than we are, which is why we trust her. Each similarly titled poem holds a triptych mirror up to the artist and, in so doing, up to us all, so we may better see ourselves as we are. In ever-changing form.” —Nicole Sealey
A stunning meditation on artistic creation and historical memory from the winner of the National Poetry Series, chosen by Nicole Sealey
From “Portrait of the artist, gaslit” to “Portrait of the artist’s ancestors” to “Portrait of the artist reading a newspaper,” the poems in Harbinger reflect the many facets of the artistic self as well as the myriad influences and experiences that contribute to that identity.
“Portrait of the artist as a young man” has long been the default position, but these poems carve out a different vantage point. Seen through the lens of motherhood, of working as a waitress, of watching election results come in, or of simply sitting in a waiting room, making art—and making an artist—is a process wherein historical events collide with lived experience, both deeply personal but also unfailingly political. When we make art, for what (and to whom) are we accountable? And what does art-making demand of us, especially as apocalypse looms?
With its surprising insights, Harbinger, the latest book from acclaimed poet Shelley Puhak, shows us the reality of the constantly evolving and unstable self, a portrait of the artist as fragmentary, impressionable, and always in flux.

Leaves of Grass The Original...

Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892).The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement, itself an offshoot of Romanticism, Whitman's poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it. However, much like Emerson, Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise.

My Grandfather's God

David Somerfleck

In My Grandfather's God, David Somerfleck invites readers into a poetic journey through the vast landscape of human experience—where love and loss, spirituality and skepticism, pain and transcendence intersect. 
Each poem is a revelation—sometimes tender, sometimes unflinching—exploring how belief, memory, and identity shape our understanding of self and the cosmos. Within these pages, the divine is questioned, confronted, and occasionally found in the quiet corners of everyday life. 
Themes range from the generational weight of faith and family to the scars left by abuse, the solace of love, the ache of loss, and the elusive beauty of truth. These poems move between the intimate and the infinite, where personal wounds echo against the backdrop of cosmic thought and hard-won wisdom. 
My Grandfather's God is at once deeply personal and universally resonant—a collection for anyone who has wrestled with the unseen, questioned what they were taught, or sought meaning amid both deception and revelation.
