Forbearance - Poems

by Cameron Brooks

~~14,58€~~ 13,12€ 10% OFF

 The poems of Forbearance summon us to ponder a great mystery--the mystery of existence as such. They wrestle with the given, revel in the real. Here are lines of mirth and dearth on the vast Dakota plains. Here are poems about blizzards and jazz solos and eternity''s gracious flowering in time.

Let'S Call It Home - Poems

by Luke Harvey

~~14,58€~~ 13,12€ 10% OFF

 Let''s Call It Home is a slow search for wholeness in the fragmented landscape of language, place, family, and faith. These poems offer themselves as touchstones on the dizzying pilgrimage of ascent and descent towards rooted ground, that place we both hail from and are forever approaching, the home we both know intimately and perennially hunger for. And here, on this road, if the conclusions are provisional and the destination--as seen from this end of things--shifting, the hope compelling us out the door is as certain as the ache that sings us homeward and the unshakable sense of a steadying hand at our backs.

Farewell Suites

by Andrew Lansdown

~~19,88€~~ 17,89€ 10% OFF

 The Farewell Suites is a collection of poems dealing with death and grief and arranged in sets focused on different members of the poet's family--a brother who committed suicide, a child who died before birth, a father who slipped into delirium as he slipped out of life. These finely crafted poems capture the movements of the heart and are stunning tributes to love, patience, acceptance, and forgiveness. Though focused on the poet's own loved ones, the poems speak of and to the hearts of all readers, expressing our shared anxieties and sorrows at the passing of those we love. The collection as a whole is deeply comforting, being shot through with both human warmth and heavenly hope. Indeed, Lansdown's farewells anticipate reunion, when at last our mortality is overwhelmed by immortality.

Ponds

by J. C. Scharl

~~14,58€~~ 13,12€ 10% OFF

 In Ponds, Jane Clark Scharl explores the mysterious relationship between change and repetition: seemingly contradictory, these two weave together so tightly in human existence that they cannot be separated. Speaking in a variety of voices--from a young mother mourning her own mother to Penelope, wife of Ulysses, Persephone, and Theoderic the Ostrogoth--Ponds is a polyphonous meditation on loss and gain, activity and stillness, and the nature of God, both hidden and revealed.

House Of 49 Doors - Entries In A Life

by Laurie Klein

~~18,55€~~ 16,70€ 10% OFF

 Fowler House, with its odd nooks, dicey wiring, and vast, unfinished attic playroom, shelters preteen Larkin. And yet, the house speaks of secrets no one else will. Wild creatures weigh in: a muskrat, fireflies, snails, a vesper bat. The menacing garfish. Troubled parents take on repairs: clanking radiators, crumbling plaster, and beloved Uncle Dunkel, finally home from the war in Korea, his mind splintering. Over three years, lived in the moment by Larkin--and relived in hindsight by Eldergirl--doors open and truth, long-stifled, emerges.

by Susan Cowger

~~15,90€~~ 14,31€ 10% OFF

 Pandemic at full tilt, the diagnosis came--cancer. Maybe you''ve known crisis or are walking a loved one through the terrible unknown. The heart plummets. The mind shrills. We blame genetics. Toxins. Lifestyle. How can we not blame ourselves? Can this be thrown on God?If we listen to the emptiness behind every unanswered why, what will we hear? While life and death circle overhead, heckle and intimidate, exhausting faith, these poems talk with touchstones around us. Eavesdrop on whispers for answers. These poems explore what we have--and what''s left. Who made the hawk? And the lionhearted songbird? What do they tell us about courage? What else is present?

Soon Done With The Crosses - Poems

by Claude Wilkinson

13,25€ + 10% CARD

 Two excerpts from spirituals, offered as epigraphs, foreshadow themes in Soon Done with the Crosses. The first song, "One of These Days," suggests inevitable burdens that all of us must bear at some point, while the second song, "Do Lord," supposes a glorious reward for those who faithfully endure. The poems in this book form a catalog of varied trials--both historical and contemporary--drawn from art, imaginings, the natural world, and aspects of the human condition, coupled with questions about eternity. Though while the collection begins with pleas for some bright assurance, it concludes in yet another vigil through dark, lonely hours, longing for morning''s clarifying light.

Wolf Intervals - Poems

by Graham Hillard

14,58€ + 10% CARD

 The poems in Graham Hillard''s debut collection are personal and world-historical, as remote as fifteenth-century Rome and as near as the American landscape. Here are poems of music, violence, faith, doubt, and the creaturely world, composed in the unignorable shadow of Holy Scripture. Here, too, are childhood and child-rearing, small sagas of fortune and failure across the generations. Like the dissonant chords for which the book is named, Hillard''s poems seek resolution but find it only sparingly. A bold and surprising new collection, Wolf Intervals takes place at the heart of that quest.

Madonna, Complex

by Jen Stewart Fueston

15,90€ + 10% CARD

 What does it mean to say yes?--to God, to the Spirit, to art, to love, to motherhood, to the dazzling & tangible world? Mary's response to the angel, saying "Let it be to me as you have said," is an essential moment in the life of a disciple, a woman, and an artist. In Madonna, Complex, Mary's "yes" is a moment of opening, of allowing her very body to become a co-creator with God and a conduit for the coming of grace into the world. However, womanhood in all its fullness--sexuality, marriage, infertility, childbirth, nursing--inevitably complicates traditional Christian imagery of Mary. Madonna, Complex chronicles a feminine faith journey alongside saints like Joan of Arc and Saint Kateri, images of motherhood in visual art, through holy days of the Christian calendar--Ash Wednesday, Holy Saturday, All Saints Day--and sites of pilgrimage, cathedrals, wilderness, and other places holiness can be found. These poems explore the complexities of the messages we receive about what it means to say yes to God, or to something larger than ourselves that demands our attention and energy, whether it's bearing a child or participating in a political protest.

Book Of Bearings

by Diane Glancy

13,25€ + 10% CARD

 The Book of Bearings puts the puzzle pieces of the New World together without a picture on the puzzle box. The characters struggle to situate themselves between what they were and what they are supposed to become. The poems include voices from the mid-nineteenth-century Cherokee Female Seminary in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and the mid-twentieth-century Eskimo experience in Alaska, as well as personal narratives. This book addresses the Native American process of assimilation from first contact through education in the civilized world. It is a view of that world from the eyes of those who were seen as the conquered. The Book of Bearings seeks its bearing in a shifting world. Often it focuses on the effects of Christianity. The characters use the new language to frame their various experiences. They use language as a tool for understanding what cannot fully be understood, which, for the believer, is the transformation in Christ when he left the world charged with his light.
