Book Synopsis Witness in Stone by : Esther Phillips
Download or read book Witness in Stone written by Esther Phillips and published by Peepal Tree Press. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores the fragile territory between remembering and forgetting, both as an individual experience and in the life of a society. If in the end all is subject to "time's slow bleed", these poems enact the capacity of the imagination "to pass through ancient walls" and to reorder failures long gone in time into more hopeful connections. Poems recreate those childhood moments when physical presences, such as the "great house" at Drax Hall provoke the "beginning of poetry", the searching for what is "hidden in the dark", and thence to a grasp of the history that society would rather forget. For while forgetting is human, the collection also explores how amnesia can be cultivated in society as a means of hiding the sources of contemporary privilege and economic power. Poems such as "Canvas" (about the images from English and American magazines that patch up the hangings in an old woman's "tumbledown dwelling") not only picture children "tiptoe at the rim of the world" but, without needing to say it, show those children as far more familiar with Garbo's "bright blue eyes/ and shiny red lipstick" than with the history and meaning of Drax Hall. If there are echoes of Walcott's poem where "all in compassion ends", Phillips is no less compassionate, but much readier to see "History's wound still bleeding / to its last drop" - a wound extending down to a powerful poem in memory of George Floyd. If the collection calls out "Speak, stones, bear witness!", poems also pay tribute to those who in the rural village memorialised the lives of the unconsidered poor, who, like the village historian, Miss Lewis, speaks across the years into contemporary urban life "to remind me who I am". Esther Phillips' poems are always lucid and musical; they gain a rewarding complexity from being part of the collection's careful architecture that offers a richly nuanced inner dialogue about the meaning of experience in time. Not least powerful in this conversation are the sequence of poems about Barbadian childhoods, poems of grace, humour and insight. When Barbados chose Esther Phillips as its first poet laureate it knew what it was doing: electing a poet who could speak truth, who could challenge and console her nation - and all of us.

Book Synopsis These Stones Bear Witness by : Richard White
Download or read book These Stones Bear Witness written by Richard White and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columbus discovered America. So they say. But what of Leif Ericsson? What of St. Brendan? Who inscribed that anguished message on the Kensington Rune Stone? And who was The Westford Knight? We are sure that Columbus made it to San Salvador - and back. And the Icelandic Saga shores up faith in Leif Ericsson's voyage to North America, although scholarly opinion of the Vinland map seems to change every 10 years or so. St. Brendan's adventure has been pretty generally dismissed as mere myth- as if myth could not be rooted in truth. And the case of the Kensington Rune Stone continues to generate controversy, despite an impressive accumulation of evidence, both environmental and linguistic. And then there is the Westford Knight. In 1954, the late Frank Glynn uncovered the figure of a knight in full armor incised on a slab of glacial rock along a roadside in Westford, Massachusetts. The Knight's helmet, sword and shield all date to a specific decade in the evolution of armor and arms. And the emblem on the shield represents the armorial bearings of Clan Gunn, a noble family based in Scotland's County Caithness. The figure is, in fact, a classic military effigy, a type of monument commonly found in ancient gravesites in Scotland and in the north of England. So what was the Knight doing here? Facts cited in this little book suggest that The Westford Knight sailed westward with his high-born kinsman, Henry Sinclair, baron of Rosslyn and Earl of Orkney, in the service of The Lady King. The author presents the evidence: THESE STONES BEAR WITNESS. The verdict is for the reader to decide.

Book Synopsis The Stones Bear Witness by : Michael Lane
Download or read book The Stones Bear Witness written by Michael Lane and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics of the Bible today often say, "Science has disproved the Bible." Others say that there is no evidence to support that the Bible is anything more than a book of myths and fables. But the science of archaeology is seldom mentioned by these critics. Even though no provable archaeological discovery has disproved the Bible, there have been thousands of discoveries that support the authenticity of the Bible. This book is designed to show just a few of these discoveries. In this book, the author has visited and photographed many sites and will show the archaeological evidence that can be found there and how it supports biblical accounts. The main purpose of this book is to show evidence that the Bible can be trusted and is authentic.

Book excerpt: Following the publication of The Stones Bear Witness, the second book in this series takes the reader on a tour of biblical Jerusalem. On this journey, the reader will again encounter many places and artifacts providing support that the Bible is not a book of myths and fables but a special revelation of true events that actually occurred in history. In some chapters, the author takes a biblical story and shows the archaeological evidence supporting the historicity of the event. In other chapters, a comparison of traditional thought is cross-examined with archaeological evidence. Even though Jerusalem is a very old city, the historical record of biblical events are still present, adding tremendous evidence to show that the Bible can be trusted and is authentic.
