Book Synopsis God Is a Tree: and Other Middle-Age Prayers by Esther Cohen by : Esther Cohen
Download or read book God Is a Tree: and Other Middle-Age Prayers by Esther Cohen written by Esther Cohen and published by Pleasure Boat Studio: A Nonprofit Literary Press. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A tiny, fabulous book of poems, a distinctive quiet, humorous voice, about getting older. And who isn’t getting older? Sensible and yet original, nothing sentimental or smarmy, this is great great poetry couched in a ‘who, me?’ way. Esther Cohen has a brand new fan in me. I am going to buy a zillion copies of this, the perfect gift. Takes 2 0 minutes to read, if that, yet I know it will keep me company for years and years. I’d put it between Allen Ginsberg and a book of Rumi maybe. They’re tiny prayers, numbered. Here’s Twenty Nine: “The truth is I’ve had a hard time with forgiveness. Revenge is easier. Last year I read four forgiveness books, talked to a few serious Christians and Jews even a Buddhist a Hindu a Sikh and an agnostic. I don’t intuitively turn the other cheek, and don’t know how. And I’m talking about pettiness, not wars or larger wrongs. I’d like to learn, and thought one way might be to say the word three times each day: forgive forgive forgive Amen" - Janet, Goodreads
Download or read book God Is a Tree written by Esther Cohen and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Esther Cohen writes with humor and joy and lots of energy. You can't help but smile when you encounter her delightful images. In her title poem, for example, you learn that she once wrote a poem and "'God Is a Tree' was the title. / Louis Savitsky didn't like it./ He asked why / I had the chutzpah / to believe I knew. / A few years later, Louis's daughter / became a Scientologist." It is those seemingly unrelated comments, presented with a straight "face," that startle and amuse as they challenge one's thinking. These poems have a definite Jewish tone to them, but certainly one doesn't need to be Jewish in order to appreciate them.

Book Synopsis Crossing the Water by : Irving Warner
Download or read book Crossing the Water written by Irving Warner and published by Pleasure Boat Studio: A Literary Pr. This book was released on 2009 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. This is a unique volume in the best sense--two apparently diverse areas drawn together in 1959 politically as the 49th and 50th states of the United States. But they have been bound together by nature and history-the former for millennia, and the latter since the late 18th century. A poetic bond between both trilogies is crossing a body of water as a transformational event for human and animal alike. In the "Lost Road Trilogy," it is the ancient Charon myth; and in the "Hawaii Island Trilogy," it is of transformations in time and space, and how the two together can form illusions of spirit.
