Traditional indigenous cultures in many parts of the world have displayed a profound appreciation of the relationship between human and ecosystem health, something global culture is trying to rediscover under the label of sustainability. Since the beginning of time, human beings have told the story of their own beginning, and of the origins of the four directions, the heavens, the God-People, the earth, and all its creatures. The Navajo People tell a story of great psychological power and depth. First recorded by 19th century ethnographers, the Navajo Creation story is here interpreted as an...

Traditional cultures in many parts of the world have displayed a profound appreciation of the need for human beings to understand each other, leaving aside religious partisanship in a search for common understanding of the worldly, the transcendent, and the divine. Treasures of truth can still be found in texts which were once discarded. In these poems there is a search for a deeper and more musical understanding of religious texts which have been marginalized by established powers: the mysterious wisdom of the Gospel of Thomas, a collection of the sayings of Jesus; the passionate power of...

To promote a stronger general sense of community, THE SONG OF MATTHEW retells the gospel story as a poem arranged in blank verse iambic pentameter, the form used by Milton and Shakespeare.

The text does not include any of the false and sinful condemnations of Jews which have historically contributed to the practice of eliminationist anti-semitism. The crucifixion of Jesus is shown as the assertion of Roman power,...

The Song Of The Showing Of Love: A Poetic Interpretation Of The Revelations Of Julian Of Norwich
ISBN: 9781438221373 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 602 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A flower of mystical insight from 14c. England, this book records the visions and prescient theological world-view of Julian, an anchoress at Norwich. Her unique and visceral retelling of both the birthing and the dying of Christ, the first book to be written in English by a woman, has never been excelled in the clarity and eloquence of its language. Here, preserving the humility of the original in a modern idiom, is a metered poetic version of her revelations: ...she who's Mother of our Savior Is mother of all who shall be saved; And our Savior our very Mother, In whom we are endlessly born...

Trust Me On This One: Three Stories About Betrayal
ISBN: 9781438227115 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The late sixties and early seventies in America spawned all manner of idealistic dreams through which young people thought they could re-invent the notion of the modern. These three stories investigate the ways that established institutions at first allured, and then later deluded, the reluctantly willing protagonist Jack Lindsay. We see the virtuous earnestness of the young teacher waylaid by the shrewd encroachments of his own desire; the continued bending of his sexual morality to pursue the attractions of opulent living and haute couture; and, finally, the drowning of a young couple's...

The Saxon Gospel: A Modern English Verse Retelling Of The Medieval Epic Life Of The Savior
ISBN: 9781438218809 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The first monument of real Christianity among the Saxons was the Heliand, an epic on the life of Christ in Old Saxon alliterative verse, dating from about 830. The original work attempted to make the newly imposed Christian religion intelligible to the warlike Saxons. The Heliand, extant in four manuscripts, and the fragmentary Old Saxon Genesis are all that remain of Old Saxon poetry. This poetic harmony of the Gospels employs modern English alliterative verse couplets, in a complex structure of 75 cantos, to generate a vigorous retelling of the story of the Christ as an epic tale...

Painkillers: Adventures In Dystopia: Poems About Sadness And Lassitude
ISBN: 9781438229744 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "The theory behind writing these poems is that if you are feeling miserable, and you write about how you are feeling, with as much precision and thoroughness as you can muster, you will induce in yourself a kind of satisfaction that you are able to make something worthwhile emerge from the misery. " "The theory behind publishing these poems is that if someone else with similar feelings to your own comes along and reads about these painful states of mind, that person may also come to feel a little better, either from a better understanding or from a general sense of companionship."

Poena Omnipotenta, or The Triumph of Punishment: A Poetic Commentary on the Cautio Criminalis of Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld
ISBN: 9781451577556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the darkest hours of the 17th century German witch hunts, Spee, a Jesuit priest, meditated on the confessions of accused women and resolved to subject the church's torture practices to a rigorous logical analysis. The result is a cogent and persuasive argument against all torture, and a demonstration of the overarching power of the human spirit in a time of trial. This book combines poetic meditations on Spee's uniquely compassionate essays with starkly lit photographs (from a state collection in Toledo, Spain) of many of the torture instruments used by church functionaries.

The Tawasin Of Mansur Al-Hallaj, In Verse: A Mystical Treatise On Knowing God, & Invitation To The Dance
ISBN: 9781438224930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Here a medieval Muslim mystic records his living meditation on becoming one with God, where he likens himself to a moth leaping into flame: In that bright instant, wings aflame, Reduced to fragments of his name, The moth-ash shows his body's form Where no mark will distinguish him. Rumi wrote three centuries later on Al-Hallaj's words, 'I am God, ': "People imagine that it is a presumptive claim, whereas I find it is really a presumptive claim to say 'I am the slave of God'; for, 'I am God' is an expression of great humility. The man who says 'I am the slave of God' affirms two existences,...

The Palimpsest Of Human Rights: Writings Of Thoreau, Gandhi, & King Arranged As A Choral Text-Weaving
ISBN: 9781438222585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Writings of Martin Luther King, Mohandas Gandhi, and Henry David Thoreau are here brought into a common format by paraphrasing the text into metered lines (iambic pentameter); the lines are arranged to create three-line stanzas in a single unified master document. The result is a long poem in which the successive lines are bound rhythmically but not always by meaning. In each stanza the first line is from Thoreau, the second line from Gandhi, and the third line from King, as shown here: I hold this saying close beside my heart: I am not a visionary person; You cannot deny we face a crisis...

The Song Of The Fire Of Love: A Poetic Interpretation Of The Incendium Amoris Of Richard Rolle
ISBN: 9781438221694 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Richard Rolle of Hampole, the first of the four great 14th century English contemplative authors, is often called, with justice, "the father of English mysticism." For him the life of contemplation was essentially a musical state, and song, rightly understood, embraced every aspect of the soul's communion with reality. Sudden outbursts of lyrical speech and direct appeals to musical imagery abound in his writings, as in those of no other mystic; and this constitutes their outstanding literary characteristic, as he declares himself at the very dawning of his mystical vision: "Looking to heaven...

The Song Of The Cloud Of Unknowing: A Manual In Verse For Teaching The Contemplative Life, And A Help For Guided Meditation
ISBN: 9781438219905 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This anonymous work was originally written as a manual for teaching meditation and the contemplative life to medieval monks and nuns. Recent interest in meditation practice and centering prayer have led to a re-appraisal, discovering the possibility of psychotherapeutic benefits from studying the medieval text, by helping readers to understand pride as a distortion of truth and an impediment to wholistic living, and "meekness" as a path to health. Now for the first time this influential text has been rewritten in rhymed, measured poetry for use in guided meditation and other forms of self-...

Real Corkers: Stories For Children
ISBN: 9781438229591 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Reminiscent of Carl Sandburg's beloved children's poetry, these stories were ad-libbed by the author for his children and then written in a notebook for later refinement, which never came to pass; so that they retain the atmosphere of spontaneity and lame humor often encountered in the last half hour before bedtime, as in this example: I would say the highlight of the whole evening came during the Amateur Hour when three of the most common backyard vegetables from our own neighborhood sang a lovely trio of their own devising, which means they wrote the words and music, taught the song to the...

The Unstruck Drum: Mystical Poetry Of Kabir In A New Setting

Continuing in the grand tradition of Rumi and Kahlil Gibran, Kabir invites us to explore the light within our own sensuality. This incomparable 15th century poet, weaver, mystic and musician of Benares helps us to find the eternal goodness of pure sensation, without allegiance to any creed or cause. "Open the window to the west, / In the sky of love, now be lost; / Drink the sweeter honey that steeps / And imbues with heat, the petals / Of the lotus of the heart's lips. / Receive the waves in your body: / What splendor is in the warm sea / Hearken to the sounds of conches / And bells, rising...

Thomas Paine claims the title The Father of the American Revolution because of Common Sense, the pro-independence monograph pamphlet he anonymously published on January 10, 1776; the work quickly spread among the literate, and, in three months, sold 120,000 copies throughout the American colonies (with only two million free inhabitants), making it a best-selling work in eighteenth-century America. It is here given a concise metered form suitable for theatrical adaptation and public performance.
