Through her Letters written to Friends, to her opponents: priests, magistrates, politicians, including the king, Elizabeth Hooton leaves a captivating testimony of her fights for and of her activism in quest of the Truth, Freedom, Justice and equity for all as well as peace on earth and within the Quaker movement. Hers was a fight and quest far from any guided by egoism pure and simple or by personal interest. She was driven by her interest in the common good of all and everywhere. In History of civilizations we have actors who fade away unnoticed or at times are just ignored whereas their...

The fiery passion and epigrammatic terseness with which Loretta Burns re-enacts her experiences and observations as an African American woman in contemporary America reveal her as a poet of life who transcends the labels African American, feminist, and/or womanist. Her poetry captures moments and scenes of living that echo her impressions and intuitions of a world trapped between appearance and reality, illusion and disillusion, expectation and realization, the material and the spiritual. Through her deceptive simplicity of diction, she explores the nooks and crannies of her psyche as well...

The poems in this collection are adequate, with great lines. The rhythm is stimulating to all the five senses thanks to the use of multiple images. A lot of imagery in Vestiges gives a picture of a war front after a ferocious battle. The objects, animals, and images in the poems disorient and lead the reader to focusing on putting flesh to the bones than just getting the juice of the poems... The rhythm more than anything else carries the reader through this chaotic tableau painted in Vestiges. In a way, this comes across as a substantiation of the poets vision of our world and an explanation...

Elizabeth Stirredges spiritual autobiography is a treasury of spiritual wisdom which paints all that which is needed to be a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and how God in His might works, transforms, and supports an ordinary soul to lead the life of extraordinary faithfulness. The text highlights Stirredges intimate conviction as well as that of early Quakers. This translation is a welcomed venture because this is a central piece, deserving of much more attention than that which has been accorded to it until now.

Lorsqu'un anglophone prend le dEfi d'Ecrire en franCais et pour ceux qui estiment avoir le monopole du franCais, ce qui en rEsulte doit titiller le lecteur. Il s'agit de la poEsie nEe de la plume de Bill F. Ndi. N'Etant pas son premier recueil en franCais, La croisEe des chemins noir ou noirci ? frappe par l'usage que le poEte fait des mots pour l'image des maux qu'ils reprEsentent A fin de conscientiser le lecteur de ses propres mEfaits. L'emploi de mots dans chaque vers est juste, A propos. Sur le plan esthEtique et rythmique ces poEmes Eveillent les sens.

Through multiple points of resistance, The Repressed Expressed underscores how hard it is to build a community in any nation with no beneficial qualities of hope and transparency. This informative collection of essays highlights that wherever stability and order are lacking, the universal appeal is to express that which is suppressed. Also, like a map or guidebook, The Repressed Expressed indicates how people in such geographical prisons strive to transform their agitation into spiritual and political pathways, free of pain and hurt from, and anger towards a dirty and...

Barbed Forest draws from the socio-political character of society--specific societies sometimes. It navigates its way from the political to the familial and ultimately personal concerns of humankind before projecting the positive -humanist vision- of which the poet cum freedom songster dreams.
