1001 Days Of Love $15 Poetry/Romance/AdventureDoes poetry really matter? Is it just something some of us enjoy that by and large one learns in high school to pass a test? Or at best one hopes to read aloud in a coffee shop?Or is it something that out of the escalating misery, fear, frustration and anger of our times can give us something of enduring reassurance and steel for mobilizing the greater heart and mind?”One should go down fighting for what over our run of more than 100,000 years for our species, and survival so far into the eighties for myself, has mattered most,” evolutionary systems scientist David Loye tells us in this intimate and passionate book. “That one thing above all,” he insists, “is love.”Emerging out of the turbulence of the 1980s, 90s, and early years of the 21st century, with lyric overtones of Wordsworth, Blake, Yeats and Whitman, here are poems Loye wrote to capture the love sustaining the romance and pioneering involvement in 20th and 21st century science and social action of evolutionary action theorist Riane Eisler and himself.Continuing the surprise of the poems scattered within their earlier joint biography 3,000 Years of Love, here we go further and deeper into their intimate lives.We go further behind the international best-seller The Chalice and the Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations into the drama of the holocaust survivor and thinker who has been called “The New Renaissance Woman” and “One of the most important visionaries of our time.”We go further behind the award-winning The Healing of a Nation, and recovery of “the rest and best” of Darwin’s theory of evolution in Loye’s new six-book Darwin Anniversary Cycle by a noted developer of the new field of evolutionary action science.It is a glimpse into the core of a revolution emerging within the hearts of millions of us worldwide-which must succeed if we are to move from global self destruction to planetary sanity during

13th-Century Roman Catholic Priests $22.63 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Gui D’ussel, Nicholas of Arbroath, Pierre Clergue, Peter González, Amaury de Montfort, Canon of York, Thomas of Cantimpré, Brother Robert, Bernardus Compostellanus Junior, Richard of Ingworth, William de Stanwey, Serlo, Roger de Wynkleigh, Dearmid O’cuana. Excerpt: Gui d’Ussel, d’Ussèl, or d’Uisel (fl. 11951209) was a turn-of-the-thirteenth-century troubadour of the Limousin. Twenty of his poems survive: eight cansos, two pastorelas, two coblas, and eight tensos, several with his relatives and including a partimen with Maria de Ventadorn. Four of his cansos melodies remain. According to his vida, Gui was the youngest of three sons of a wealthy noble family of the castle Ussel-sur-Sarzonne, northeast of Ventadorn. He and his brothers Ebles and Peire, as well as his cousin Elias, are all reputed troubadours and castellans of Ussel according to the author of the vida, who makes Gui himself a canon of Montferrand and Brioude in the diocese of Clermont. Among his relatives Gui was known for his cansos. The only confirmation of Gui’s family from outside his vida is a reference to the brothers Guido and Eblo Usseli donating land to the abbey of Bonaigue. Gui’s biographer believed him to have been in love with Malgarita, wife of Rainaut VI, viscount of Aubusson. He supposedly later fell in love with Guillemette de Comborn, wife of Dalfi d’Alvernha, and composed many songs about her. Gui spent almost his entire life in the Limousin and Auvergne, rarely travelling abroad. Gui addresses several of his songs to Maria de Ventadorn (including the partimen) and makes reference to Peter II of Aragon in one which survives with a melody. The reference to Peter’s queen in the song’s razo puts the date of its composition in 1204 or later, after Peter’s marria…

1591 Works: 1591 Architecture, 1591 Books, 1591 Plays, Donskoy Monastery, Astrophel and Stella, Rialto Bridge, Stanley Palace, Gallathea $14.13 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Likely composed in the 1580s by Philip Sidney , Astrophel and Stella is an English sonnet sequence containing 108 sonnets and 11 songs. The name derives from the two Greek words, ‘aster’ (star) and ‘phil’ (lover), and the Latin word ‘stella’ meaning star. Thus Astrophel is the star lover, and Stella is his star. Sidney partly nativized the key features of his Italian model Petrarch , including an ongoing but partly obscure narrative, the philosophical trappings of the poet in relation to love and desire, and musings on the art of poetic creation. Sidney also adopts the Petrarchan rhyme scheme , though he uses it with such freedom that fifteen variants are employed. Some have suggested that the love represented within the sequence may be a literal one as Sidney evidently connects Astrophel to himself and Stella to Penelope Rich , the wife of a courtier. Payne and Hunter suggest that modern criticism, though not explicitly rejecting this connection, leans more towards the viewpoint that writers happily create a poetic persona, artificial and distinct from themselves. Publishing history Many of the poems were circulated in manuscript form before the first edition was printed by Thomas Newman in 1591, five years after Sidney’s death. This edition included ten of Sidney’s songs, a preface by Thomas Nashe and verses from other poets including Thomas Campion , Samuel Daniel and the Earl of Oxford . The text was allegedly copied down by a man in the employ of one of Sidney’s associates, thus it was full of errors and misreadings that eventually led to Sidney’s friends ensuring that the unsold copies were impounded. Newman printed a second version later in the year, and though the text was more accurate it was still flawed. The version of Astrophel and Stella commonly used is found in

Excerpt: The Four Seasons (fr Les Quatre Saisons) was the last set of four oil paintings completed by the French painter Nicolas Poussin (15941665). The set was painted in Rome between 1660 and 1664 for the Duc de Richelieu, the nephew of Cardinal Richelieu. Each painting is an elegaic landscape with Old Testament figures conveying the different seasons and times of the day. Executed when the artist was in failing health suffering from a tremor in his hands, the Seasons are a philosophical reflection on order in the natural world. The iconography evokes not only the Christian themes of death and resurrection but also th… More:

Excerpt: The Book of Thel is a poem by William Blake, dated 1789 and probably worked on in the period 1788 to 1790. It is illustrated by his own plates, and is relatively short and easy to understand, compared to his later prophetic books. The metre is a fourteen-syllable line. It was preceded by Tiriel, which Blake left in manuscript. A few lines from Tiriel were incorporated into The Book of Thel. This book consists of eight plates executed in illuminated printing. 15 copies of original print of 1789-1793 are known. Two copies bearing a watermark of 1815 are more elaborately colored than the others. Does the Eagle know what is in the pit,Or wilt thou go ask the Mole?Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod,Or Love in a golden bowl?Thels Motto can be interpreted as Blakes rejection of the Church of England. The silver rod where Wisdom cannot be found represents a scepter or staff that would have been used in traditional kingship or even high-ranking ecclesiasts before the rise of nationalism and the consequent fall of the papacy in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Motto goes on to say that Love cannot be found in a golden bowl. The image of the golden bowl refers to a chalice that is raised when priests in the… More:

Excerpt: “The Raven” is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in January 1845. It is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven’s mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man’s slow descent into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word “Nevermore”. The poem makes use of a number of folk and classical references. Poe claimed to have written the poem very logically and methodically, intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes, as he explained in his 184… More:

2005 $16.48 The poems narrate the happenings in a sequential manner, representing the feelings and situations between two people who fall in love over a period of time. Written in a free, though often rhyming, style, the poems attempt to bring out not only the deeper emotions in people in love but also some lighter moments. The poems include the emotional experiences written in the first person. Intertwined into all these are poems dealing with the philosophical aspects of love. To provide a sharp contrast, poems are included with everyday life like the shopping day and the market crash, trying to relate the happenings in modern world with the affairs of the heart. The book begins with lighter poems, where the initiation of love takes place, resulting in the union of two strangers. This is followed by the expressions of love and the times of waiting for the same. The sequence builds to bring in the conflicts that disrupt the relation, resulting in the person sinking into his deeper thoughts to understand the more subtle dimensions of loving in the last few poems.

38 Bar Blues $10.28 C.R. Avery’s audaciously charismatic second book, 38 Bar Blues, is a tome of poetry loaded with bar stool musicality and brass knuckle poetry. Welcome to a clear glimpse into a motel 50 miles outside of town, a window into the life of a modern troubadour and the courage of a young father trying to keep the highway of diamonds shining while singing the song of innocence.C.R. Avery’s writing flows like a Tennessee Williams stage play, from haiku-size poems to longer erotic tales that sink the reader deeper into backstage smoke of Avery’s worlds. 38 Bar Blues is like a Bob Dylan setlist; a play constructed like a Charlie Chaplain silent film; a book built to make the reader laugh and cry. It all comes out as true music.38 Bar Blues is the perfectly crafted journal of a living legend. Enter the back-room of an old Italian cafe, where dirty dirty politics, outlaw love, and outrageous beauty are all in the cards.

48 POEMS: Reflections Of A Poet $64.61 48 POEMS is a highly stylized literary composition of electrifying poems, and may well be the most complete, comprehensive, and versatile book of its kind. There are 48 poems encompassing eight different genres: each genre containing six poems. The genres include: romantic, dramatic, Thanksgiving, tragic, comedic, ironic, Christmas, and children. Subtitled “Reflections Of A Poet,” because it gives an in-depth look into the heart, mind, and soul of one of North America’s “purest writers” of our time, who is bound only by the limits of his imagination and creativity. Romantic: Every man should read “Love Me With Your Heart” to his love one at least once. Dramatic: “You Can’t Break My Spirit” is the quintessential story of the black man’s conquest over slavery. Thanksgiving … “Thank You For Giving” will warm your heart as if it was a flaming charcoal on a cool summer night. Tragic: Tragedy… like death is a constant reminder of our immortality and “Untimely Death” will evoke tears and drown your eyes with compassion. Comedic: “Ugly Like A Truck” begs for laughter as this woman describes her man as “Ugly Like A Truck.” Ironic: nothing expresses irony like this prophecy, “A Messiah Is Coming” directed at President Barrack Obama. There’s the poem “One Nation Under Oprah” which cleverly frames Oprah Winfrey’s rise from the depths of the Mississippi Delta to the queen of talk show television, and her all girls’ school in South Africa. Christmas: There is no other poem that expresses “Christmastime In New York City” like this poem. The children’s genre … seemingly every child claims to have had “A Fly In My Soup.” 48 POEMS is a gold mine of love and language that is nothing short of a brilliant literary work that promotes literacy, academics and advances scholarship into the next millennium.

His work was an acknowledged influence on Abdullah ibn al-Mu’tazz and Abu al-Atahiya .

A Blessing In Flames $7.22 “Man what a gifted poet you are! I love your poems…and the way you write “in your face” with power, beauty, and sensitivity. Some of them just explode in my mind. You know words and you know how to make them, stand up an salute.”Steve Brown – Author, Professor – Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL, and Teacher. www.keylife.orgAlleluia!In this new collection of poems, Ron Cervero writes about Darkness being so heavy it tears his mind and flesh into pieces. Well…Mr. Cervero’s soul and poetry not only have seen the light, but also buried all darkness and now risen to the highest level of spiritual writing with this set of Contemporary Christian Poetry. I say he’s is a gift and inspiration to the world!A Blessing in Flames will lift your spirit to Heaven; it will take you closer to God.Jaime Ferreyros – Miami, FLThe author Ron Cervero has touched my heart and soul with his expressive and profound book of poetry. Emotionally stimulating bringing one to study his, at times mysterious work, one is left with wanting more, wanting to read between the lines of the personal thoughts within this author’s soul. Upon reading Mr. Cervero, I see the author being on the outside, learning to look in. His deep love of his God is moving, his faith unshakable, his love something to be connected with. In his poem ‘Box of Hope’ which I believe is the essence of this writer, is humbling giving insight to the mainframe of the poet. And finally, the poem ‘Love’, strikingly moving reveals to all that love is our answer to most that will ail us.Rhoda Galgiani – Long Island, NY

A Book By A Poet With Significant Problems $10.25 Ask me what my book is about and you will probably get a different answer every time. One thing will be consistent though. This book is a direct reflection of me. My Scorpio passion all the way through to my extreme sarcasm, there is an unusual amount of innuendos in my poetry. There is also a lot of emotion from personal experiences and lessons learned. Some unbelievably in love poems, some funny poems, some poems so beautiful I can’t believe I wrote them. Basically poems everyone can appreciate. For those who know me, yes I write poetry. And for those who don’t know me, consider this an introduction to the reason why I live with a pencil and paper. I don’t have reviews to list because I didn’t let anyone read it before I published it. I didn’t need a second opinion of my book to feel proud about my work. I just wrote how I felt and to the best of my ability at the time. I’m not trying to revolutionize the poetry world, just be apart of it but know this, like love or rain I’m here whether you are ready or not.

A Careful Scattering $16.51 Each year, for the forty-two Christmases of our married life, my wife, Louise Hassel Burnham, illustrated the poems I wrote to celebrate the festival season of the years’ ending and beginning, the Solstice, Christmas, and New Year. Her illustrations were in a variety of media: line drawings, block prints (both wood and vegetable), collage and paint. Many of the drawings represent views of our house in Newton, Massachusetts, including such details as the front door, a mirror in the hall, the fireplace. Others include the names and places of family and friends woven into trees. Louise’s final card, from 2001, is a gathering up of many earlier cards. While the original intent of these cards was to celebrate a single year, together they sum up our lives over four decades. We discussed their publication before her death, and it was she who chose the title, “A Careful Scattering.” In their publication I want to remember our partnership, and to dedicate this book to her memory with love.

Born in Macon, 1790 . . . Died in Paris, 1869. Alphonse-Marie-Louis de Lamartine is the master of French reflective verse, and his influence on modern poetry has been real and lasting. His early youth was passed in the country-house of Saint-Point, under the wing of a fond mother and with refined sisters ; his education was superintended by a romantic priest and completed at the Jesuit seminary of Belley. His youthful faculties were fed on the Bible, on Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, on Rousseau and on Chateaubriand, with some of the older English and Italian poets, and he began early to express his emotions in verse. After a visit to Italy he entered the military household of Louis XVIII in 1814, and soon became a familiar figure in the best royalist salons in Paris. His health had always been somewhat fragile, and his sentimental melancholy led him into many strange experiences of the tender passion in his youth. The publication of the first volume of Mtditations in 1820 caused an unwonted commotion in literary circles. It was the most brilliant success, said Sainte-Beuve, since Chateaubriand’s Genie du Christianisme. Lamartine leaped into fame with one bound, and yet, if the circumstances be considered, it is easy to understand the suddencelebrity of his early poems. These glimpses of pure affection, nursed in devotion and faith, and this return to the love of nature refreshed an age which was suffering from weariness after the bloody terrors of the Revolution and the brutal splendours of the Empire.

Two sayings of the Holy Scriptures beat Like pulses, in the church’s brow and breast; And, by them, we find rest in our unrest, And, heart-deep in salt tears, do yet entreat God’s fellowship, as if on Heavenly seat. One is, And Jesus Wept, — whereon is prest Full many a sobbing face that drops its best And sweetest waters on the record sweet : — And one is, where the Christ denied and scorned Looked Upon Peter ! Oh, to render plain, By help of having loved a little, and mourned, — That look of sovran love and sovran pain, Which He who could not sin, yet suffered, turned On him who could reject, but not sustain ! ©- THE LOOK. The Saviour looked on Peter. Ay, no word — No gesture of reproach ! The Heavens serene, Though heavy with armed justice, did not lean Their thunders that way !

And Peter, from the height of blasphemy — ” I never knew this man” — did quail and fall, As knowing straight That God, — and turned free, And went out speechless from the face of all, And filled the silence, weeping bitterly. THE MEANING OF THE LOOK. I Think that look of Christ might seem to say — ” Thou Peter ! art thou then a common stone Which I at last must break my heart
