Download or read book Epiphany written by Stephen Mendonça and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in this collection explore the way we perceive and celebrate the world around us. Many recall the innocence of childhood, or glimpses of nature along the bayou, or memories captured from a trip somewhere. There are vignettes drawn from experiences in Spain, Mexico, and the Far East. Does one search for the epiphany or does it present itself in an unguarded moment? Whether by choice or by instinct, I found myself pondering mundane events with the inward eye that Wordsworth calls the bliss of solitude. Running through these meditations is a grateful sense of wonder about lifes possibilities, the quiet mystery of ordinary life, and the guiding hand that shapes our destiny.

Download or read book Epiphany a Collection of Poems written by V. S. Atbay and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epiphany is a collection of poems that ranges in complexity while examining and revealing the depth of the human psyche from a contemporary, romantic, abstract, surrealist, erotic and natural position. The author applies both cold realism and idealism within a broad range of themes such as life and death, light and darkness, politics and society, women and nature, love and sorrow, ecstasy and longing, and war and revolution. The author writes from both a male and female voice and applies the frequent use of free verse, personification and figurative metaphors to evoke the many layers of emotions, ideas and private experiences that are hidden and woven in the human sub-conscience, allowing the reader to naturally reach introspection, or perhaps, even their own "Epiphany." The collection of poems are a mixture of exciting contradictions written from a passionate, subtle, raw yet honest voice.
