Book Synopsis Poetry of Grief, Gratitude, and Reverence by : John Brehm
Download or read book Poetry of Grief, Gratitude, and Reverence written by John Brehm and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new anthology from the editor of the bestselling Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy. Signposts on a journey through the darkest and brightest moments of our lives, the poems gathered here are explorations of loss, of thanksgiving, of transformation. Some show a path forward and others simply acknowledge and empathize with where we are, but all are celebrations of poetry’s ability to express what seemed otherwise inexpressible, to touch deep inside our hearts—and also pull ourselves out of our selves and into greater connection with the world around us. Includes poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, Czeslaw Milosz, Seamus Heaney, Billy Collins, Joy Harjo, Danusha Lameris, Ada Limon, Kevin Young, Arthur Sze, Ellen Bass, Li Young-Lee, Natasha Tretheway, and many more. The editor also includes an essay on appreciative attention and links to guided meditations for select poems, offering us a chance to have an even deeper experience of reflection.
Book Synopsis Hospice, Grief, and Life Thereafter by : Dr. Sherri Lynn Bures
Download or read book Hospice, Grief, and Life Thereafter written by Dr. Sherri Lynn Bures and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospice, Grief, and Life Thereafter is a harsh subject matter, that is not always dealt with easily. Everyone of us will face death and grief at some point in our lives. Some of us might have a loved one going through the process of dying and might be experiencing hospice. This is written to help others understand there is hope, there are miracles out there and with true belief in God we can all survive. This book is written with poetry spread throughout the chapters which I believe brings a fresh perspective to this journey. My number one source of strength was and remains God. I live with a solid relationship with God and prayer does help.

Book Synopsis Chasing Wild Grief by : Sandra J. Lindow
Download or read book Chasing Wild Grief written by Sandra J. Lindow and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unfolding the map of my unknowing," a line from Sandra Lindow's lovely elegiac collection, Chasing Wild Grief, provides an entry point as any to the heartfelt, at times heart-wrenching, but ultimately heartening poems in a book that remembers, mourns, and richly illuminates the life of a beloved companion. Although highly detailed and rich in natural imagery, the tone and language of these poems carry us across the landscape of "wild grief," prompting readers to recall the inevitable partings from their own lives, accomplishing this in a variety of forms and language that finally leave us more celebratory than sorrowful. These poems, like all good elegies, not only navigate the various modes of grief, but ultimately accomplish what the poetry of memory at its best seeks to accomplish, transforming grief into gratitude. -Max Garland, former Poet Laureate of Wisconsin and author of The Word We Used for It With meticulously ordered "consecutive candles," brilliant manipulation of form and strategic use of empty space, Lindow compels us to embrace life before, during, and after the death of a beloved. Subtle. Raw. Authentic. A forced exploration, ". . . each / step turned salt by unshed tears, going / home, unknowing where that is," leading us ". . . past the bedrock of mythology into the plate / tectonics of the aching subterranean world." But she doesn't stop there. She brings herself, and us, back into the realms of hope and living with ". . . ghost / shoes, high stepping into the air." I read these poems again and again, loving them, and her, and Michael - and life and love itself - more each time. Loving deeply makes us vulnerable. We must. We must. -Laurel Winter, World Fantasy and Rhysling award-winning author of Growing Wings and the often anthologized "egg horror poem" These poems speak with quiet reverence for life, death, and the possibilities of renewal, skillfully weaving the natural world and its leavings and rebirths with the ethereal world of loss. Deftly written, her language is lush. She pays attention to how words work together - sound, rhythm, or both. The spiraling DNA of her villanelles and pantoums as well as her artful concrete poems make this collection illuminating instead of sad. These are exquisite poems from a book I'll read again and again. -Karla Huston, Wisconsin Poet Laureate 2017-18. Author of Grief Bone and A Theory of Lipstick A splendid fierceness weaves throughout this extraordinary collection of poems about nature, and the nature of grief. Trees become "knotted tibia trunks and phalanges of oak, arbor vitae, and Norway Pine," and a lakeshore becomes backdrop for "water's feral fecundity." Lindow establishes her prosodic dexterity in "The Great Unknowing," a heart-wrenching villanelle about the aftermath of loss, and a scattering of shaped poems give the entire collection an additional dimension. These poems clearly do not seek a palliative for grief, but reveal it as it is: "huge and omnipresent . . . sucking marrow from the bones of the day." -Marilyn L. Taylor, former Wisconsin Poet Laureate and author of Step on a Crack

Book Synopsis Reverence: Renewing a Forgotten Virtue by : Paul Woodruff
Download or read book Reverence: Renewing a Forgotten Virtue written by Paul Woodruff and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001-09-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverence is an ancient virtue dating back thousands of years. It survives among us in half-forgotten patterns of behavior and in the vestiges of old ceremonies. Yet, Paul Woodruff says, we have lost sight of reverence. Like an important engine part that has rusted over time, the idea of reverence has become increasingly foreign. This short, elegiac volume makes an impassioned case for the fundamental importance of the forgotten virtue of reverence, and how awe for things greater than oneself can--indeed must--be a touchstone for other virtues like respect, humility, and charity. Ranging widely over diverse cultural terrain--from Philip Larkin to ancient Greek poetry, from modern politics to Chinese philosophy--Woodruff shows how absolutely essential reverence is to a well-functioning society. He tackles some thorny questions: How does reverence allow not only for leaders but for followers? What role does reverence play in religion? Do some religions misuse reverence? Must reverence be humorless? In the process, Woodruff shows convincingly how reverence plays an unseen part in virtually every human relationship, whether in government, work, friendship, or family. It is essential, he says, for us to recover a sense of reverence in order to help repair the fraying bonds that tie us together. Elegantly written, thoughtful yet urgent, Reverence is sure to reach out to a wide variety of people interested in the moral health of Western culture, showing how our own intellectual and spiritual legacy can guide us more than we realize.
