Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Seven Deadly Sins and Other Poems, veteran poet David R. Slavitt touches on topics from the mundane to the mysterious with his signature wit and intelligence. In OC Stupid, OCO for instance, he transforms a simple head cold into an appreciation for the richness of consciousness, and in OC Waking, OCO the very effort of rising from bed becomes something like a miracle: OC I heave myself up to a sitting position, pause / a moment, and am amazed by what I have done. . . .OCO Slavitt explores the range of the human condition with such ease and insight that readers cannot help but ponder what life isOCoand what it could be. What ifOColike the mythic sea creature in OC The DogfishOCOOCohumans could return to the womb when frightened? In the collectionOCOs title poem, Slavitt gives a voice to the Seven Deadly Sins, each of which claims, persuasively, to possess a value to humans that is seldom noticed or appreciated. Slavitt has a unique ability to examine an ideaOCobe it virtue or vice, dark or blitheOCoand offer perspective and wisdom about the conundrums of our existence."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was in a bookstore a few years ago, scanning the titles on the poetry shelf. I saw the usual titles of "100 best poems," etc. And then I saw "Best Immoral Poems," and I thought, now that is something that I would like to read. But I'd had it wrong. It was a collection of Immortal poems. Sigh... But the idea stuck with me and I decided to try to tackle the spirit of immorality, immodesty and general disregard for the greater society. It was a lot of fun!

Book Synopsis Dante and the Seven Deadly Sins by : John C. Barnes
Download or read book Dante and the Seven Deadly Sins written by John C. Barnes and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume opens with the bold suggestion that the seven deadly sins constitute a key to the structure of Inferno and Paradiso, as well as Purgatorio. It ends with a discussion of cowardice (not strictly a deadly sin) in Inferno iii, followed by a look at Dante himself in the light of all the capital vices. In between, each of the seven is focused on in turn. Intellectual pride is cited as the reason for Cavalcanti's absence from the Commedia, while-separately-the pride cantos in Purgatorio are read as a reconstruction of the individual's passage from pride to piety. Envy is located in the political sphere and shown to be almost always figured in conjunction with other vices whose sinful acts it prompts. It is then argued that Dante clarifies problems encountered in medieval attempts to distinguish between just and unjust anger. Sloth in The Divine Comedy is explored next, with particular attention to the poet Statius, its only named exponent. The poet's understanding of avarice is placed in the context of the revived money economy and the papacy's inflated temporal pretensions, while that understanding is, secondly, viewed in relation to the ancient Romans. Gluttony occasions reflection about analogies between the body and the book, as well as remarks about illustrations of the gluttons' aerial bodies in The Divine Comedy's early printed editions. The ambivalence of Dante's principal representations of lust is seen to imply a tension in his great poem between love poetry and spirituality, a tension he seeks to resolve in Beatrice.

Download or read book Tales of the Seven Deadly Sins written by John Gower and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Seven Deadly Sins: Being the Confessio Amantis of John Gower John Gower's book of old stories is here at last made current among Englishmen of every degree. The first way of its wider diffusion was by recitation of the story-tellers. It was their business to give pleasures of imagination to the people through their ears, when even the few who could read would also listen with enjoyment to a tale recited with dramatic energy. When the play of "Pericles" brought one of Gower's tales upon our stage in Shakespeare's time, John Gower himself was supposed to speak its Prologue in his chosen measure of eight-syllabled verse. His words then recalled to mind the old way of reciting as well as reading. The actor who, dressed as Gower, came before the people, said to them: - "To sing a song that old was sung, From ashes ancient Gower is come; Assuming man's infirmities To glad your ear and please your eyes. It hath been sung at festivals, On ember eves and holy ales; And lords and ladies in their lives Have read it for restoratives." To all of us Gower may now go on to repeat other lines of the same Prologue: - "If you, born in these latter times, When wit's more ripe, accept my rhymes; And that to hear an old man sing May to your wishes pleasure bring, I life would wish, and that I might Waste it for you, like taper light."

Book Synopsis Seven Deadly Sins and Other Grave Transgressions by : Eva M. Doolittle
Download or read book Seven Deadly Sins and Other Grave Transgressions written by Eva M. Doolittle and published by . This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven Deadly Sins and other Grave Transgressions is a must read for persons who live in a desensitizing society and wish to return to deep Christian roots where sin is sin and righteousness is the norm for those who seek to walk in the ways of God. Eva M. Doolittle highlights poetically the "Seven Deadly Sins" from Proverbs 6:16-19. But she doesn't stop there. She goes on to include twenty-one other "grave transgressions" rampant in our society today, such as child abuse, drunkenness, disrespect, obscenities, and yes-even terrorism. In terse verse, the author gives the stress test to sins that abound everywhere, from the Middle East to our block on our street in our town. The author does us all a favor. She takes delinquencies and shortcomings we have come to take for granted in our society and tells it like it is -sin, sin, sin. The book is similar to an anthology of stories depicting evil, but better because the stories are poetic, provocative, and enhanced by memorable illustrations.
