Book Synopsis Atheists and Empty Spaces by : Michael Thomas
Download or read book Atheists and Empty Spaces written by Michael Thomas and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Atheists and Empty Spaces explore the quintessential aspect of humanity – the need of having something in which to believe. Modern humanity attempts to fill the empty spaces in the psyche with emotional and psychological sustenance that was once provided by communal connections, religion, and the worship of deities or even nature. These poems explore how, in many ways, people have all become atheists because they no longer know how to connect to natural and supernatural forces, and they simply no longer believe in them. Humanity is now lacking a connection to the impulses that once nurtured human desires. However, the poems also suggest that art can provide a path back to those vital connections. Some poems are simple explorations of personal pain that cannot be soothed. Others are thorough considerations of how warped or misguided humanity’s attempts really are at solving an elusive and unidentified misery. Most of these poems take traditional forms of verse and song, but some find their unique rhythms in contemporary free verse. Others use examples from ancient cultures to comment on contemporary culture while some ideas spring from news headlines of today. Each poem in this collection reflects on the ways that modern humans seek to fill their empty spaces, whether atheist or not.
Book Synopsis Filling the Void by : Jonathan Ms Pearce
Download or read book Filling the Void written by Jonathan Ms Pearce and published by Onus Books. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is often thought, by theists, to be a void in humanist and atheist lives; a god-shaped hole. For many atheists, though, that void is amply filled with meaning and purpose, nobly and morally built up out of philosophy and living a fulfilled life. This volume helps to document that through a wide variety of verse, form, and content with poems from an interesting array of writers, detailing a range of emotions and thoughts. There has been a void, a lacking, of collections of atheistic artistry, and this selection hopes to remedy such a situation, and in doing so seeks to show how humanists can and do weave lives that are rich tapestries of morality, purpose, awe and wonder. "Jonathan Pearce has done us a great service in producing this anthology. Filling the Void is eclectic, witty, arresting, philosophical, and fun. It charts a course through the emotional landscape of atheism and fills a niche in humanist literature that's been vacant for far too long." David Warden, Chair of Dorset Humanists "Read this extraordinary book; feel the wonder and take delight in the fact that we are that singular facet of the universe able to contemplate itself through science and art and to create poetry in the intersection of the two." David Fitzgerald, author of Nailed and The Complete Heretic's Guide to Western Religion series "Divinity Pearced by worded structure Wandering from blinding sands to southern birds Poems for our secular times This anthology of freethinking poems, ranging from poignant to humorous, from ancient voices to modern songs, encapsulates the thoughts of many secular folks. See what a few meters of these works may do for you and inspire further reflection in a new way." Dr Aaron Adair, author of "The Star of Bethlehem: A Skeptical View" "In Filling the Void, Jonathan MS Pearce has put together an anthology of valuable literature for humanity. Verse speaks to us in ways that prose cannot, and here, for those lacking belief in God, we find people given an often-silent voice. Sometimes wry, sometimes struggling, sometimes defiant, poignant, or beautiful, the poetry in Filling the Void expresses the contemporary nonbeliever's experience in truly human terms." James A. Lindsay, author of "Dot, Dot, Dot: Infinity Plus God Equals Folly" and "Everybody Is Wrong About God" "Many books about atheism focus on science or challenging religious dogma so it can be difficult to find literature on how nonbelievers find meaning in their lives. Filling the Void shares the perspectives of a diverse group of atheists who express how they grapple with reality and their emotions. Jonathan Pearce has provided a necessary addition to atheist and humanist literature with this beautiful anthology." Matthew Facciani, sociologist and activist, blogger at According to Matthew "This collection vibrantly showcases the fact that having a naturalistic, scientific worldview in no way means one can't experience the grandeur and majesty of life and the universe...or have a wickedly keen sense of humor about that whole god idea. Filling the Void should do just that for most readers: plug a hole in their book collection nicely, showcasing the overlap of humanism and literature, of science and verse, of religious criticism and rhyming constants." Dr. Caleb Lack, Director of the Secular Therapist Project; author of "Critical Thinking, Science, & Pseudoscience: Why We Can't Trust Our Brains"
Book Synopsis The Atheist Wore Goat Silk by : Anna Journey
Download or read book The Atheist Wore Goat Silk written by Anna Journey and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The tropic foliage of Anna Journey’s book is so lushly ashimmer with invitation andthreat that it’s difficult to tell the two apart. Which is just what this poet intends: the world seduces us to enter, and to enter again, and to do so is both to find pleasure and to perish into a field of ghosts.”— Mark Doty, author of Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems "Anna Journey has talent to burn: gothic, elegiac, and celebratory by turns, her poems possess a giddy imaginative dexterity that is exceedingly rare in a debut collection. More important, there is a gravity and heft to her poems; they are willing to confront the Big Issues and militantly resist the easy tour de force. Jarrell says somewhere that a certain helplessness before her material is one of the poet’s principal tools. I hear that haunted helplessness in lines such as these: 'I can’t stop— / the story // going like the tongue goes: // lit and loosed, moving, / like Lucifer, / down.' Anna Journey is on the threshold of a significant career."—David Wojahn, author of Interrogation Palace: New and Selected Poems 1982-2004

Book Synopsis Dirge for an Imaginary World: Poems by : Matthew Buckley Smith
Download or read book Dirge for an Imaginary World: Poems written by Matthew Buckley Smith and published by Able Muse Press. This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dirge for an Imaginary World from Matthew Buckley Smith is the winner of the 2011 Able Muse Book Award, selected by Andrew Hudgins. These are poems of breathtaking craftsmanship that find inspiration in the simplicity of the quotidian, or the perplexity of the grand. Smith is equally at ease musing about Neanderthals or God as he is with a ballet exam or highway medians. These poems of personal and universal introspection are filled with grace, and sparkle with abundant intelligence and wit. This masterful debut collection is an event to celebrate. PRAISE FOR DIRGE FOR AN IMAGINARY WORLD: Wildness and precision and passion balanced with wit—there are the hallmarks of Matthew Buckley Smith’s superb Dirge for an Imaginary World. In subjects great (“For the Neanderthals”) and small made great (“For the College Football Mascots”), the comic is rich with serious intent and gravity lightened with discerning wit. But only a poet who lifts heavy and unwieldy subjects—death, lost love, the absence of god—knows the imperatives of graceful balance. – Andrew Hudgins (Judge, 2011 Able Muse Book Award) In this deeply impressive debut volume of poetry, Dirge for an Imaginary World, Matthew Buckley Smith delivers a remarkable range of deft formal schemes, temporal movements, and varied settings. We encounter sonnets, couplets, quatrains, Sapphics, sestets and so forth written with a slick, delightful merging of technical expertise and smooth contemporary rhythms. The range of subjects is equally and as charmingly eclectic, from Neanderthals, Dante, Vermeer, for instance, to College Football Mascots, Highway Mediums, and Spring Ballet Exams. Mental and linguistic agility generously challenge the reader in poem after poem. – Greg Williamson (from the “Foreword”) “If a way to the Better there be, it exacts a full look at the Worst,” wrote Thomas Hardy, whose spirit moves through the fine poems of Matthew Buckley Smith’s debut collection. Like his blast-beruffled predecessor, Smith braves a clear-eyed look at our fallen world, mourning in elegantly precise language the sorrows inherent in “set(ting) out to map a promised land/ Out of reach and always just at hand,” but also wishing great mercy upon us travelers failed and failing. These are poems full of both reckoning and grace, made all the more beautiful for their humane wisdom. Dirge for an Imaginary World is immensely impressive. – Carrie Jerrell

Book Synopsis Poems for Drunken Atheists by : Jim Brock
Download or read book Poems for Drunken Atheists written by Jim Brock and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-10-06 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which came first, the painting or the poem? Brock's little book, "Poems for Drunken Atheists: Illustrated by the Author," represents the culmination of two decades of off the wall thinking. The poems are about life experiences, personal opinions, and just plain weird stuff the author would be pressed to explain. The illustrations are reproductions of Brock's original oil paintings which have many of the same themes as the poems. Some of the paintings were destroyed in a horrific wildfire in 2006 and this book is the only place you will ever see them. The poems and paintings have been paired together like fine wine and food. While the book contains a lot of social commentary it is not intended to promote alcohol abuse or any particular belief system. Brock's philosophy is whatever gets you through life is great as long as it doesn't harm others. The book is basically for fun and for the promotion of unorthodox thinking. It is best enjoyed with alcohol in a relaxed setting such as a cozy bar, the bathtub, the water closet, or in bed late at night with your cat or dog.

Download or read book Treasure of Darkness written by Anmy Tran and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treasures of Darkness is the book of poems about reality of living and life and God's promise as real as it gets. Not realities God says maybe to Muslims, not now to Buddhists, or no to atheists. Not realities he says yes to sometimes, most times, or once in a while. This book of poems is about human experience, in living all the times. Are there such realities? You bet there are. Storm of life is no respecter of person. Man, woman, transgender, gay, lesbian, rich, poor, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, felons, saints, or heroes, every person faces some unexpected changes, heartbreak, or affliction at some point in their lives. I know how hard it is for so many to face change in life, especially sudden or unexpected storm. But I assure you, this book of poems is not just a spiritual or inspirational book. This is about the human experience where "treasure in the darkness" is available and as real as it gets to everyone—riches in secret place. In the dark, the only thing you can see is light. This is reality, not perception. This book of poems is written to help put things, many times, things you already know in perspective, and show us ways how to cope with self, others, and adversities better by embracing the human experience in every situation. My sincere hope to every reader of Treasure of Darkness is that you will discover, as a mature person, you are not the ones to have answer to everything, but the ones who enter into every situation with purpose. And if you choose to embrace the human experience, discover the purpose and follow the light (the Word), you surely will find your riches hidden in secret place, even in the most despised place, indeed.
