Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE THICH NHAT HANH POETRY COLLECTION: Over 50 inspiring poems from the world-renowned Zen monk, peace activist, and author of The Miracle of Mindfulness. “ . . . the antidote to our modern pain and sorrows. His books help me be more human, more me than I was before.” —Ocean Vuong, author of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous Though he is best known for his groundbreaking and accessible works on applying mindfulness to everyday life, Thich Nhat Hanh is also a distinguished poet and Nobel Peace Prize nominee. This stunning poetry collection explores these lesser-known facets of Nhat Hanh’s life, revealing not only his path to becoming a Zen meditation teacher but his skill as a poet, his achievements as a peace activist, and his experiences as a young refugee. Through more than 50 poems spanning several decades, Nhat Hanh reveals the stories of his past—from his childhood in war-torn Vietnam to the beginnings of his own spiritual journey—and shares his ideas on how we can come together to create a more peaceful, compassionate world. Uplifting, insightful, and profound, Call Me By My True Names is at once an exquisite work of poetry and a portrait of one of the world’s greatest Zen masters and peacemakers.

Download or read book The Poetry of My Life written by Anita Anne Williams and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book I describe different events that I have occurred throughout my life by using poetry. My first love has always been writing songs and poetry. My songs and poems helped me express the way I am feeling without speaking a word. I wrote my first poem at nine years old in Cheraw, South Carolina after my grandmother passed away. I wrote a poem for her. I never imagine in a million years that I would have my poetry published. This shows that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and don’t let anyone discourage you. I am a mother of two boys. I am at the point of my life where I am trying to set good example for children. I hope this encourages them to reach their dreams. I am from West Palm Beach, Florida. I miss home a lot. I travel back and forward whenever I get time off from work. I hope that my poems can be inspirational to you. And I would like to thank God for not letting me give up and for the different talents he has blessed me with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As It Was Written January 16, 2022 02:00 Hours As it was written from the time of my divorce, my life began to change and seemed to take its own course. As Twenty Clicks into the Wind was written, my mother had found and read. She called me and told me she cried. But I didn't stop. I kept writing more instead. Every day that I wrote, my mother kept note. She kept everything that she saved in a file. Till one day, it built up, and I put it in a big pile. Kept on writing, I did. Speaking about the love I had for my son. Till one day, we strayed away. And our bond had come undone. Then one day, I got into a bind, so I came up with a thought. To bring my past back up. The pages that I've written may someday be bought. So as I took a look, I made my diary my book. My life, my diary, my poems. Now it's my time to share. Every line that I've written is now complete and all there. Everything that you read is exactly what you're gettin'. While I tell you what was said, is...as it was written.

Download or read book My Poems of Life written by Elizabeth Gray and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Gray's first book, I Relived My Nightmare From Hell, was a prelude to this one. Some of the poems written here were first incorporated in the preceding memoir as a different form of relating. Both books show her dramatic search for her own self discovery. She has succeeded mainly in her battle with Agoraphobia. This came to the surface as told in her own words. Elizabeth's journey on her way to recovery is shown in a unique manner. All her poems come dancing on paper before your very eyes. Her words which were dormant for years, come to life. Victory took many years to attain but her solid determination and faith became the key factors. Elizabeth is married to Leo, the love of her life for over fifty years. They lead a simple life along with their dog Gretel and both still work in their now golden years.
Download or read book Poetry Will Save Your Life written by Jill Bialosky and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author and poet comes “a delightfully hybrid book: part anthology, part critical study, part autobiography” (Chicago Tribune) that is organized around fifty-one remarkable poems by poets such as Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath. For Jill Bialosky, certain poems stand out like signposts at pivotal moments in a life: the death of a father, adolescence, first love, leaving home, the suicide of a sister, marriage, the birth of a child, the day in New York City the Twin Towers fell. As Bialosky narrates these moments, she illuminates the ways in which particular poems offered insight, compassion, and connection, and shows how poetry can be a blueprint for living. In Poetry Will Save Your Life, Bialosky recalls when she encountered each formative poem, and how its importance and meaning evolved over time, allowing new insights and perceptions to emerge. While Bialosky’s personal stories animate each poem, they touch on many universal experiences, from the awkwardness of girlhood, to crises of faith and identity, from braving a new life in a foreign city to enduring the loss of a loved one, from becoming a parent to growing creatively as a poet and artist. Each moment and poem illustrate “not only how to read poetry, but also how to love poetry” (Christian Science Monitor). “An emotional, sometimes-wrenching account of how lines of poetry can be lifelines” (Kirkus Reviews), Poetry Will Save Your Life is an engaging and entirely original examination of a life while celebrating the enduring value of poetry, not as a purely cerebral activity, but as a means of conveying personal experience and as a source of comfort and intimacy. In doing so the book brilliantly illustrates the ways in which poetry can be an integral part of life itself and can, in fact, save your life.

Download or read book Ten Poems to Change Your Life written by Roger Housden and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great poetry calls into question everything. It dares us to break free from the safe strategies of the cautious mind. It opens us to pain and joy and delight. It amazes, startles, pierces, and transforms us. It can lead to communion and grace. Through the voices of ten inspiring poets and his own reflections, the author of Sacred America shows how poetry illuminates the eternal feelings and desires that stir the human heart and soul. These poems explore such universal themes as the awakening of wonder, the longing for love, the wisdom of dreams, and the courage required to live an authentic life. In thoughtful commentary on each work, Housden offers glimpses into his personal spiritual journey and invites readers to contemplate the significance of the poet's message in their own lives. In Ten Poems to Change Your Life, Roger Housden shows how these astonishing poems can inspire you to live what you always knew in your bones but never had the words for.

Download or read book Embracing the Firebird written by Janine Beichman and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a girl from the provinces, meant to do nothing more than run the family store, become a bold and daring poet whose life and work helped change the idea of love in modern Japan? Embracing the Firebird is the first book-length study in English of the early life and work of Yosano Akiko (1879-1942), the most famous post-classical woman poet of Japan. It follows Akiko, who was born into a merchant family in the port city of Sakai near Osaka, from earliest childhood to her twenties, charting the slow process of development before the seemingly sudden metamorphosis. Akiko's later poetry has now begun to win long-overdue recognition, but in terms of literary history the impact of Midaregami (Tangled Hair, 1901), her first book, still overshadows everything else she wrote, for it brought individualism to traditional tanka poetry with a tempestuous force and passion found in no other work of the period. Embracing the Firebird traces Akiko's emotional and artistic development up to the publication of this seminal work, which became a classic of modern Japanese poetry and marked the starting point of Akiko's forty-year-long career as a writer. It then examines Tangled Hair itself, the characteristics that make it a unified work of art, and its originality. The study throughout includes Janine Beichman's elegant translations of poems by Yosano Akiko (both those included in Tangled Hair and those not), as well as poems by contemporaries such as Yosano Tekkan, Yamakawa Tomiko, and others.
