Book excerpt: A remarkable Pocket Poets anthology of poems from around the world and across the centuries about illness and healing, both physical and spiritual. From ancient Greece and Rome up to the present moment, poets have responded with sensitivity and insight to the troubles of the human body and mind. Poems of Healing gathers a treasury of such poems, tracing the many possible journeys of physical and spiritual illness, injury, and recovery, from John Donne’s “Hymne to God My God, In My Sicknesse” and Emily Dickinson’s “The Soul has Bandaged moments” to Eavan Boland’s “Anorexic,” from W.H. Auden’s “Miss Gee” to Lucille Clifton’s “Cancer,” and from D.H. Lawrence’s “The Ship of Death” to Rafael Campo’s “Antidote” and Seamus Heaney’s “Miracle.” Here are poems from around the world, by Sappho, Milton, Baudelaire, Longfellow, Cavafy, and Omar Khayyam; by Stevens, Lowell, and Plath; by Zbigniew Herbert, Louise Bogan, Yehuda Amichai, Mark Strand, and Natalia Toledo. Messages of hope in the midst of pain—in such moving poems as Adam Zagajewski’s “Try to Praise the Mutilated World,” George Herbert’s “The Flower,” Wisława Szymborska’s “The End and the Beginning,” Gwendolyn Brooks’ “when you have forgotten Sunday: the love story” and Stevie Smith’s “Away, Melancholy”—make this the perfect gift to accompany anyone on a journey of healing. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

Book excerpt: Kathy Stevens Bradley has enjoyed writing acrostic poetry for almost 20 years. This type of expressive writing was especially helpful when she had an unexpected stroke at age 60. Before her retirement from classroom teaching in 2013, she spent a wonderful 31 years as an elementary school arts teacher and writer. As a drama and music teacher, she taught kindergarten-5th grade. During these years, she had the opportunity to write and produce numerous plays and video productions for public schools in Columbia, SC. She is the author of 18 original plays for children, and wrote and co-produced the 6-part social studies series DETECTIVE BONZ & THE SC HISTORY MYSTERY (presently viewed on SCETV's educational website knowitall.org). Some of her favorite pastimes are playing guitar, writing country songs, and spending time with her grandchildren and family. She is hoping her two grands will be her cohorts in singing and making up new tunes...and they seem to be willing, with spontaneous rhymes and songs springing forth at a regular pace. She is presently employed as a writer with SCETV.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While collecting poems and prayers for two of her recent books, June Cotner noticed that many of the award-winning poets submitted beautiful poetry that didn't meet the themes of either of the books she was working on, yet seemed to fall into a natural grouping of their own. The selections in Heal Your Soul, Heal the World are all tied to the theme of global harmony and the interconnectedness between all things in the universe. As we approach the new millennium, people are realizing that differences they once thought were enormous have been minimized in the spirit of unity in diversity. That's the focus of Heal Your Soul, Heal the World, an illuminating book that reflects on the connections between humanity, spirituality, and nature. Through some 150 prayers and poems, Heal Your Soul, Heal the World offers comfort, healing, and inspiration to everyone who lives in this ever-changing world.In Heal Your Soul, Heal the World, a wealth of writers offer compelling reflections about the universe in powerful verse -- from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Gandhi, from Mother Teresa to the Buddha, and from Walt Whitman to lesser-known, visionary poets. Divided into easily referenced chapters to aid those looking for a prayer or poem to fit a particular occasion, Heal Your Soul, Heal the World covers a wide variety of themes, such as love, wonder, tolerance, and hope. We did not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it, said Chief Seattle. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

Download or read book Of Death and Grief written by S T Kimbrough Jr. and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little book of poems reveals how the author has dealt with the grief that accompanied the death of his wife of fifty-nine years. The poems are a conversation on the journey through the grieving process, which perhaps has no end. Yes, they are permeated with a deep faith that there is more to life than merely living and dying. At the same time, they are honest responses to how painful it is to lose your life partner. Many of the poems are autobiographical: about first encounter, marriage, life and love together, and death. The actual physical occurrence of death can be readily described by physicians, but its emotional and life effect is much more illusory. Without question, these poems are simply one person's response to death and grief. They provide no decisive answers on how to respond to either, but if one's open and honest response can help others address such challenges, so be it. The goal of the author is not to provide steps for the grieving, rather through poetry to share the thoughts of the heart and mind as they grapple with death and grief. He avers that through the very difficult process of grieving, which may never completely end, love alone is the key to healing and renewal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say that words have the power to heal, to comfort, and to soothe the soul. And in the midst of grief and loss, these words can offer us the most profound solace. "Mending the Grieving Heart" is a powerful and moving collection of poems on grief and healing. Through these words, we explore the full spectrum of emotions that come with the loss of a loved one: from the raw, intense feelings of anger and despair to the comforting, healing power of acceptance and hope. Each poem is a unique and personal reflection on grief, written by someone who has walked this path and come out the other side. These words offer comfort and support to anyone who is struggling with loss and seeking to find their way through the darkness. With a deep sense of empathy and understanding, " Mending the Grieving Heart" is a collection that speaks to the heart and soul of the human experience. It's a book that reminds us that grief is not just about pain, but also about the love that we shared with those who have passed on. Denial crashes in, Like tumultuous waves at sea, Churning emotions within. Grief follows close behind, An undertow that pulls and tugs, Leaving emptiness in its find. Acceptance takes time, A gentle ebb and flow, Bringing peace to the mind. May we ride these waves with grace, Navigating through the highs and lows, Finding strength in each new space. For the truth is not always easy, But it brings us closer to shore, Where love and healing are waiting, And our spirits can be restored.
