Par Kiese Laymon, Yrsa Daley-Ward. 2017
From the celebrated poet Yrsa Daley-Ward, a poignant collection of poems about the heart, life, and the inner self. …
Bone. Visceral. Close to. Stark. The poems in Yrsa Daley-Ward’s collection bone are exactly that: reflections on a particular life honed to their essence—so clear and pared-down, they become universal. From navigating the oft competing worlds of religion and desire, to balancing society’s expectations with the raw experience of being a woman in the world; from detailing the experiences of growing up as a first generation black British woman, to working through situations of dependence and abuse; from finding solace in the echoing caverns of depression and loss, to exploring the vulnerability and redemption in falling in love, each of the raw and immediate poems in Daley-Ward’s bone resonates to the core of what it means to be human. “You will come away bruised. You will come away bruised but this will give you poetry.” Foreword by Kiese Laymon, author of Long DivisionDime tú cómo lo ves

Par Derk Wynand. 2002
Dead Man's Float details that sad emblem of Western alienation, the tourist couple in their rented tropical Eden. Here life…
is temporary and not at all cheap. The wildlife is spectacular, the culture incomprehensible, and the locals politely try to hide their hilarity at Canadian pidgin Spanish. Heat, beaches, ruins -- why did we think they could distract us from domestic squabbling or the 3 a.m. dreads? Derk Wynand wrings wry existential meditations from firsthand experience of the Exotic -- the First World and the Third in their ritual winter dance.Never Forget

Par Brian Turner. 2014
Adding his voice to the current debate about the US occupation of Iraq, in poems written in the tradition of…
such poets as Wilfred Owen, Yusef Komunyakaa (Dien Cai Dau), Bruce Weigl (Song of Napalm) and Alice James' own Doug Anderson (The Moon Reflected Fire), Iraqi war veteran Brian Turner writes power-fully affecting poetry of witness, exceptional for its beauty, honesty, and skill. Based on Turner's yearlong tour in Iraq as an infantry team leader, the poems offer gracefully rendered, unflinching description but, remarkably, leave the reader to draw conclusions or moral lessons. Here, Bullet is a must-read for anyone who cares about the war, regardless of political affiliation.Pray Like Jesus Leader Guide: Rediscovering the Lord's Prayer
Par Don Underwood. 2017
The Lord’s Prayer is the most famous prayer in the world and is remarkably simple and brief. In only 70…
words Jesus covers the breadth of the Christian message and experience. Most Christians already know it by heart and can easily recite it. In fact, that might be part of the problem—it is so well known and easily recited that most of us never even think about the words as we rattle them off silently or in a corporate worship setting. In Pray Like Jesus, pastor and author Don Underwood reexamines the content of the Lord’s Prayer and discovers within it insightful spiritual guidance for developing a rich devotional life. And the end of each chapter, he suggest ideas for making the prayer a part of daily spiritual disciplines. The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the six-week study including session plans and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options.The Mirror Diary: Selected Essays
Par Garrett Hongo. 2017
A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles, interviews,…
and book reviews by which they have articulated the poetics of a new generation. The Mirror Diary tracks the emergence of an original poetic voice and a learned consciousness amid multiple and sometimes competing influences of complex literary traditions and regional and ethnic histories. Beginning with a literary inquiry into the history of Japanese Americans in Hawai`i and California, Garrett Hongo draws on his own history to consider the mosaic of American identities—personal, cultural, and poetic—in the context of a postmodern diaspora. Hongo’s essays attest to the breadth of what he considers his cultural inheritance and literary antecedents, ranging from the poets of China’s T’ang Dynasty to American poets such as Walt Whitman and Charles Olson. He explains free-verse prosody by way of John Coltrane’s jazz; praises his contemporaries, poets David Mura, Edward Hirsch, and Mark Jarman; and acknowledges his mentors, Bert Meyers and Charles Wright. In other pieces he engages with controversies and contestations in contemporary Asian American literature, confronts the politics of race and the legacy of Japanese American internment during World War II, offers paeans to the Hawaiian landscape, and addresses immigrants newly arrived in America with a warm welcome. The Mirror Diary is the work of a poet fully engaged with contemporary politics and poetics and committed to the study and celebration of diverse traditions.Estradas Infinitas

Par Charles Lattimore Howard. 2016
For those who seek to find new depths in their spiritual lives, Pond River Ocean Rain helps readers wade into…
the beautiful water that is God through stories, questions, and accessible illustrations. Feel the Living Water wash over you while contemplating chapters on stillness (such as a pond), the full trust in God’s will (much like the rush of a river), peace within mystery (as experienced in the depths of the ocean), and the movement of God’s relentless love for us (the refreshing rain we receive). Pond River Ocean Rain, like all bodies of water, is simple, occasionally wild, and consistently beautiful. And there are depths that, when explored, reveal abundant life for all who jump in.Greater Devotional

Par Molly Murray. 2009
Christians in post-Reformation England inhabited a culture of conversion. Required to choose among rival forms of worship, many would cross…
- and often recross - the boundary between Protestantism and Catholicism. This study considers the poetry written by such converts, from the reign of Elizabeth I to that of James II, concentrating on four figures: John Donne, William Alabaster, Richard Crashaw, and John Dryden. Murray offers a context for each poet's conversion within the era's polemical and controversial literature. She also elaborates on the formal features of the poems themselves, demonstrating how the language of poetry could express both spiritual and ecclesiastical change with particular vividness and power. Proposing conversion as a catalyst for some of the most innovative devotional poetry of the period, both canonical and uncanonical, this study will be of interest to all specialists in early modern English literature.
