Summary

Poems by William Cullen Bryant is a collection of beautiful poems about aging, music, the west wind, and more. Excerpt: "When to the common rest that crowns our days, Called in the noon of life, the good man goes, Or full of years, and ripe in wisdom, lays His silver temples in their last repose; When, o'er the buds of youth, the death-wind blows, And blights the fairest; when our bitter tears Stream, as the eyes of those that love us close, We think on what they were, with many fears Lest goodness dies with them, and leave the coming years: II. And therefore, to our hearts, the days gone by,— When lived the honored sage whose death we wept, And the soft virtues beamed from many an eye."
Available since: 11/19/2019.
Print length: 225 pages.

    Nature loosens her limbs, increases her ambition. Summer’s work is intense with colour, she paints with a brighter light.  The hours of night diminish, quickly shrink. She has no need for rest but a yearning to work.  Vibrant swathes of shooting, pulsing colour almost overwhelm. Her tempo is beyond our awed imagination.   
 
Inspired, the air, the sea, the parching earth bring elemental strength.  Summer storms, forest fires. The endless blue of sky, of ocean water will not still her work. Mistress of all. Our poets merely the inky pens of her will. 
 
In fifty poems we take you on their inspiring journey, reflecting on the miracle of summer.

    McCafferty's break-through play, a tender and comic portrait of love, dignity and emotional damage.
Vera is feisty but fading, Ronnie is washed up and permanently half-drunk. Together they run a grubby pub/hotel in present-day Belfast. It is a refuge for the assorted regulars who wash up there, as well as its rickety owners. Today is a day like many before, turning groggily into a night which might erode everyone's ability to cope with each other, or themselves.
'McCafferty's writing is wonderfully attentive to the beauty of the real world – the mundane and common place has a poetic elegance which he draws with stunning accuracy and every one of the diverse characters is fully and neatly formed' - London Theatre Guide

    In her debut poetry collection, Hannah Lee Jones brings readers on a mythic journey across a vast physical and metaphysical landscape. Four cardinal directions point the way through this inner wilderness, through trials and initiations, suffering and discovery, on a restless quest for deeper connection and wholeness. What emerges is a richly textured map of love and loss, a tapestry of hard-won truths both personal and universal. At turns mysterious, dreamlike, intimate, and illuminating, these poems explore what is wild and timeless in the human soul.

    In Paradise Regained, Satan again is on the prowl, having successfully tempted Adam and Eve and forced their departure from the Garden of Eden, here he sets out to tempt again – this time Jesus himself as he comes to the end of his forty days in the desert. The magisterial poetry of Milton enriches the encounter and, while not matching the greatness achieved in Paradise Lost, provides drama and depth.
