Download or read book Of Things Unseen and Other Poems written by Lee Bain Chiaro and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of the author's search for Truth and the meaning of Life. After the loss of her family in the Holocaust of World War II, and later divorce, she found no comfort or comforter for her grief. She then began to pour out her pain through poetry. Although she began writing at age twelve, when she became fluent in English, this book is a compilation of only the past forty years of her writings. Her soul-search began in 1961, at which time she produced several sonnets. One sonnet in particular, Celestial Lapidary, revealed to her a startling message from God: that our suffering serves an ennobling purpose. This breakthrough enabled her to persevere. In 1965 she met her Jewish Messiah, Jesus, through the reading of The New Testament given her by a kind friend. Thereafter, the poems reflect her deep devotion to The God of All Comfort who gave her the Love and Hope to live an overcoming and victorious life. In 1996 she began to share publicly her Scriptural teachings, as well as the poems which they had inspired. She continues to do so to the present.

Download or read book Carolina Clay written by Leonard Todd and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2008 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He is known today, as he was then, only as Dave. His jugs and storage jars were everyday items, but because of their beauty and sometimes massive size they are now highly sought after by collectors. Born about 1801, Dave was taught to turn pots in Edgefield, South Carolina, the center of alkaline-glazed pottery production. He also learned to read and write, in spite of South Carolina's long-standing fear of slave literacy. Even when the state made it a crime to teach a slave to write, Dave signed his pots and inscribed many of them with poems. Though his verses spoke simply of his daily experience, they were nevertheless powerful statements. He countered the slavery system not by writing words of protest but by daring to write at all. We know of no other slave artist who put his name on his work." "When Leonard Todd discovered that his family had owned Dave, he moved from Manhattan to Edgefield, where his ancestors had established the first potteries in the area. Todd studied each of Dave's poems for biographical clues, which he pieced together with local records and family letters to create this moving and dramatic chronicle of Dave's life - a story of creative triumph in the midst of oppression. Many of Dave's astounding jars are found now in America's finest museums, including the Smithsonian Institution, the Charleston Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston."--BOOK JACKET.
