Book excerpt: A remarkable Pocket Poets anthology of poems from around the world and across the centuries about illness and healing, both physical and spiritual. From ancient Greece and Rome up to the present moment, poets have responded with sensitivity and insight to the troubles of the human body and mind. Poems of Healing gathers a treasury of such poems, tracing the many possible journeys of physical and spiritual illness, injury, and recovery, from John Donne’s “Hymne to God My God, In My Sicknesse” and Emily Dickinson’s “The Soul has Bandaged moments” to Eavan Boland’s “Anorexic,” from W.H. Auden’s “Miss Gee” to Lucille Clifton’s “Cancer,” and from D.H. Lawrence’s “The Ship of Death” to Rafael Campo’s “Antidote” and Seamus Heaney’s “Miracle.” Here are poems from around the world, by Sappho, Milton, Baudelaire, Longfellow, Cavafy, and Omar Khayyam; by Stevens, Lowell, and Plath; by Zbigniew Herbert, Louise Bogan, Yehuda Amichai, Mark Strand, and Natalia Toledo. Messages of hope in the midst of pain—in such moving poems as Adam Zagajewski’s “Try to Praise the Mutilated World,” George Herbert’s “The Flower,” Wisława Szymborska’s “The End and the Beginning,” Gwendolyn Brooks’ “when you have forgotten Sunday: the love story” and Stevie Smith’s “Away, Melancholy”—make this the perfect gift to accompany anyone on a journey of healing.

Book excerpt: I like to find the time to write what is on my mind which translates into poems. Hurt to Heal came into existence after a breakup. This book brings you along my personal experience of a heartbreak. One must hurt (face one's emotions) to be able to heal (free oneself from pain) from a heartbreak. In the book, the poems are also presented in way that transitions progressively from a place of hurt to a place of healing, accompanied with multiple self-reflections in between each poem. These self-reflections come from a place of healing, clarity and new perspective. I hope that my poems can help the reader in their healing journey. J'aime trouver le temps d'écrire ce qui est dans mes pensées qui se traduit en des poèmes. Être blesser pour guérir a vu le jour après une rupture amoureuse. Ce livre vous amène au travers de mon expérience personnelle d'une peine d'amour. Il faut être blesser (affronter ses émotions) pour pouvoir guérir (se libérer de la douleur) d'une peine d'amour. Dans le livre, les poèmes sont également présentés d'une manière qui passe progressivement d'un lieu de peine à un lieu de guérison accompagné de multiples auto-réflexions entre chaque poème. Ces auto-réflexions viennent d'un lieu de guérison, de clarté et de nouvelle perspective. J'espère que mes poèmes pourront aider quiconque dans leur cheminement vers la guérison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing Myself, One Rhyme at a Time presents a collection of poetry by Donna Sivoli. She began writing as a small girl when she discovered that it wasn't easy to express her thoughts and feelings in her childhood home. Instead, she wrote notes and buried them in the backyard, only to dig them up later. As an adult, she began writing poetry and stories as a sort of self-therapy in an attempt to heal herself from a dysfunctional and abusive childhood. In these verses, she writes about family and her early love for her older brother, and how that love was destroyed through betrayal and all the other emotional ups and downs of growing up in a dysfunctional family, especially the hurt and the confusion when things are not as they appear to be. ""Healing Myself, One Rhyme at a Time is a memoir in poem and story... a hero's journey that inspires us to find our way to healing and wholeness.... It is raw, it is honest, it is love." -Shelley Morningsong, singer/songwriter

Book excerpt: Define Me, Divine Me: A Poetic Display of Affection is an exploration of raw truth that provokes our deepest emotions so that we may honor both the light and the dark within us all.

An eclectic mix of vibrations molded into words from me to you.

Download or read book When I Stopped Remembering Tomorrow written by and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journaling has such an impact on who we are as individuals and how we process emotions. During some really difficult times in my life, I journaled through my feelings by writing poetry and reflective pieces. Sometimes, I built shrines to yesterday and scripted tomorrow. Other times reflected on others and their pain. Doing this helped me remain self-aware and learn how to communicate my thoughts effectively and thoroughly. (Some would say too thoroughly!) This book is a collection of pieces that provide a glimpse into some chapters in my life that I've now closed so I can become what I once thought impossible. As I've learned to live fully in this moment, I've started turning my dreams into accomplishments on a new level I never knew was possible for me. The experiences represented have made an impact on my life but no longer drive who I am and how I respond to life. I stopped remembering my script for tomorrow and instead enjoy the space of time I am occupying so fully that it opens me up to new possibilities. My hope in writing this book is that you will let it speak to those hurt and shattered places within you that feel beyond repair. If you do that, I believe you will find the beginning of your healing, a key to stepping out of your prison, and the first opportunity to truly believe you have a voice others need to hear. Because you do.

Download or read book The Politics of the Brokenhearted written by Parker J. Palmer and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2005 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of the Brokenhearted "I write at a heartbreaking moment in American history. This 'one nation, indivisible' is deeply divided along political, economic, racial, and religious lines. And, despite our historic dream of being 'a light unto the nations,' the gaps between us and our global neighbors continue to grow more deadly. The conflicts and contradictions of twenty-first-century life are breaking the American heart and threatening to compromise our democratic values. We think of heartbreak as a personal, not a political, condition. But I believe that heartbreak offers a powerful lens through which to examine the well-being of the body politic. I want to use that lens to examine the way we hold tensions in politics as well as private life—a critical connection in a democracy that rises or falls on our individual and collective capacity to respond to conflict in a life-giving, not death-dealing,way. The image of a broken heart may seem too sentimental for politics, yet diagnosing, addressing, and sometimes manipulating heartbreak has long been implicit in realpolitik. The 'values vote' that helped swing the 2004 presidential election seemed to take the media by surprise. But politicians have long understood that advocacy related to the issues that break people's hearts—such as abortion, marriage and the family, patriotism, religion in public life, and fear of many sorts, not least of terrorism—always elicits votes. Indeed, railing against the sources of heartbreak, real or imaginary, keeps winning elections even when the rhetoric consistently outstrips legislative results. The word heartbreak may be infrequent in the literature of political science, but the human reality it points to is an engine of political life." —Parker J. Palmer, from The Politics of the Brokenhearted: On Holding the Tensions of Democracy The Fetzer Institute's project on Deepening the American Dream began in 1999 to explore the relationship between the inner life of spirit and the outer life of service. Through commissioned essays and in dialogue with such writers as Huston Smith, Jacob Needleman, Gerald May, Cynthia Bourgeault, Kathleen Norris, Robert Inchausti, Carolyn Brown, Elaine Pagels, Parker Palmer, and others, the project is beginning to sow the seeds of a national conversation. With the publication of these essays, the thinking and writing coming from these gatherings is being offered in a series of publications sponsored by Fetzer Institute in partnership with Jossey-Bass. The essays and individual volumes and anthologies to be published will explore and describe the many ways, as individuals and communities and nations, that we can illuminate and inhabit the essential qualities of the global citizen who seeks to live with the authenticity and grace demanded by our times.

Download or read book From Trauma to Poem written by Ashley Parks and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From Trauma to Poem" is a compilation of poems written during a time of healing from childhood and adult abusive situations, as well as background information to give the reader a better understanding from whence the poems were written. I survived physical, mental, emotional, sexual (including being sex trafficked), spiritual and cult abuse as a child, and mental, emotional, sexual, spiritual and cult abuse as an adult. God saw to it that I survived and when it was right for me to do so, to write about the affects the trauma had on my life. It is my hope that this book helps other survivors as they read and hopefully journey their own path into healing. Some of these poems are of deep and dreadful times in my healing journey and others show the spiritual awakening that was going on within my soul. While others are glimpses into my inner being, seeing for myself what I had endured. Still others are reflections as a result the trauma had on my consciousness. This journey began with a questioning of my spiritual beliefs and trying to find myself at the age of forty-nine. In the midst of this spiritual query my life was turned upside down as my friend, Ida, aided in my seeing the abuse that was happening at that time in my life. While trying to understand and heal from that, I began having nightmares about that situation, but also about things I could not understand. Had my husband, Jim not been so supportive and understanding I don't think I would have made it through learning about them and consequences the traumas had on me as my life spun seemingly out of control. These poems are expressions of the anguish and freedoms I faced as I walked out the lies I had lived, as well as the truths I was having to face. I still struggle with my relationship with God, the truths of my past and things that trigger me now, taking me back to the traumas of yesteryear. There are several poems that could have gone into categories other than where I placed them, however I felt from the context of the poem that it was best suited where I put them. My hope is that as a reader, if you ever experienced violence as a child or adult, that my poems will help you to first, see you are not alone; and second that your experiences were/are real. Many are taught to deny the abuse or pretend that all is well in order to make the abuser look like a good person, or to protect the victim from further violence. I know that was the case for me and offer to you my expressions of sympathy, with insight as to your circumstances. Your story is your own, as is mine. Regardless of spiritual beliefs or convictions, my prayer is that God works to heal you as He has for me.
