Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Heretic: And Other Poems Yes, he was there at the grave, and we Eyed each other with meaning look, Wondering What he had come to see; Yet we pitied him, too, ere long, as he Stood by himself alone, and shook While the earth fell dull on the coffin lid. But why had he come where he was not bid? He might have known he would mar our meeting, Who neither its love nor its grief could share. And how could we give him a word of greeting?

"Service begins at eleven, but the door will be open at ten: " That means a crush to get in, with screaming of women, and men Barely just kept from swearing by dread of the Sabbath day, And swearing the more in their hearts, it were better for women to stay At home, and see to their children, instead of losing their wits Crushed in a trampling crowd, till they go off in fainting fits. No, I'll not face it. How should I sit still in a narrow pew For an hour, with my legs a-cramp, and with nothing on earth to do But stare at the white-washed walls, and gasp for a mouthful of air, And smell the hot peppermint breaths, and the oil in the young buck's hair, And watch how faces grow purple, and bald heads are smoking like, censers? Nay, I will sit by the fire here, and read that last volume of Spencer's. There's more in a sentence of his than in all that this fellow can say, Though he preach for an hour by the clock." So he kicked his boots out of the way. That was his first thought. But hardly had he reached out for his book, And settled him down in an easy chair in the cosiest nook, With a big cigar in his mouth, and the cloud-smoke round his head Curling in wavy rings, when once more he looked up and said;-- "Yet we were fellows at College together, and friends too once, This famous preacher and I, and he was not a bit of a dunce, But fairly well up in his classics, though Logic was always his forte; A rare, good hand at debate, ever prompt with a clever retort; Not very strong in science, but skilled with his pen to write, And making his half-dark thinking clearer than other men's light; [his head, A smart rhetorician truly, with a ready tongue in Though he looked so clumsy and loutish and homespun and country-bred. He is starring it here, ...

Download or read book Desiderium written by Eli Bahisht and published by Eli Bahisht. This book was released on with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has demons. What are yours? Voices spoke to him so he listened and started writing to tell their stories to the world. It is written by a man with a broken heart and internal struggles but you will be gravely mistaken to think it is about a young heart whining for love. The verses are from the depths of a soul. A soul is eternal, hence these words. This man seeks meaning behind life. If happiness is all you seek this book is not for you. This book has secrets you wish you knew. But can you bear the burden that comes with knowing? Read what the author has to say about the book. Our experiences help to shape our outlook towards the universe. The mind savage by birth, fed with negativities it grows into a hideous creature. The world outside may not always be pleasant so we must contemplate what we see and feel to understand the complex truth of this cosmos. I do not deny that the world we live in is free of the darkness, brutality and injustice. I believe, with the knowledge of harsh truth comes equanimity. This is my attempt to give a little meaning to the agonies and burdens we share. It might appear meaningless to some but so is this world. This book is a collection of poems for you but not for me. These are my reflections on love and life. These are my critiques on man and society. These are my views on misery and faith. These words are voices from my soul. -Preface

Book excerpt: Heresy and Other Prayers is a conversation with the author's past-questioning what she was taught should never be questioned and unraveling hand-me-down beliefs from deeply-known truths. Explorations the Divine Feminine and expressions of doubts about religious authority are unwelcome in many church communities, but these poems are evidence that even what might be considered heretical can contain whispers of prayer. The author's original photography is also featured in this debut chapbook.

Maybe we danced once in heaven, Maybe we’re angels on earth, Maybe you’re the only one for me, Maybe my heart was yours first. Maybe your soul called out to me, Maybe my soul pulled you near, Maybe I’ve known you forever, Maybe you’re the reason I’m here. Maybe my heart sings only to you, Maybe my love knows no bounds, Maybe our love is so pure and true, Maybe our treasure is found. Maybe I’ll hold you forever, Maybe I remember your wings, Maybe I’m ever so thankful, Your divinity to my heart sings. Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)

Download or read book Prayers of a Heretic written by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayers of a Heretic explores the "crime" of heresy and the condition of existential displacement through the language of prayer and prayerful voice/s. In the first section, "Visits and Visitations," the poet imagines a variety of protoganists in situations of supplication. The second section, "In the Gleaning," examines the life, trangressions, and prayers of the title character and the primacy of books, libraries, and reading for refuge and reconfiguration. Eschewing a secular/religious divide, the book offers an expansive interpretation of the enduring power of prayer. Four poems also have a Yiddish version. ------ Taub is a master of the character study. His poems are crowded with portraits, novels in miniature, of the old, the overlooked, the dispossessed. Here you will find Aunt Milkah Pesl, taciturn and unsentimental, the volunteer in assisted living who reads books in Yiddish, the patient in an MRI scanner listening to "a symphony of terror" like "John Zorn on Quaaludes." There are the regulars in a library, and the treasures found hidden in the pages of old books. There are lonely men in search of "fleshly glory." And over-arching all, there are repentance and atonement, constantly remade anew. --Kim Roberts, author of Pearl Poetry Prize-winning Animal Magnetism This book is a feast: sensuous, ironic, political, hilarious, poignant and wise. Intimately Jewish yet embracing of all, its cast of characters includes aged professors, flirtatious landladies, poem-peddlers and the Pied Piper. In "Credo," a stunning poem near the book's end, Taub powerfully defines religion on his own terms, with equal measures of awe, horror and gratitude at the world. --Ruth L. Schwartz, author of Edgewater Whether he's writing in English or Yiddish, in poetry or prayer, Yermiyahu Ahron Taub has a firm grasp on the language of the heart. His characters, men (including one named Yermiyahu) and women whose only crimes are that they are human, are as familiar as our own reflections. In Taub's skilled and attentive hands, no judgments are passed; heresy is in the eye of the beholder. --Gregg Shapiro, author of GREGG SHAPIRO: 77 and Protection

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glimpses of her came to him, On the wisps of a dream one night, He could see so many things about her, But her face was hidden from sight. Her hair was long and flowing, And in the dream it covered her face, But her energy he could never forget, Because it was filled with light and grace. And the feelings of peace and acceptance, Which he felt so strongly right there, Swirled around him like soothing waves, As did the tendrils of her hair. He woke to the ribbons of moonlight, With a smile upon his lips, Because before she left him in his dream, She had given him an enchanting kiss. Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)
Download or read book Survival Is a Style written by Christian Wiman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named as a 2020 Book of the Year by The Times Literary Supplement Survival Is a Style, Christian Wiman’s first collection of new poems in six years, may be his best book yet. His many readers will recognize the musical and formal variety, the voice that can be tender and funny, credibly mystical and savagely skeptical. But there are many new notes in this collection as well, including a moving elegy to the poet’s father, sharp observations and distillations of modern American life, and rangy poems that merge and juxtapose different modes of speech and thought. The cumulative effect is extraordinary. Reading Survival Is a Style, one has the sense one is encountering work that will become a permanent part of American literature.
