Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry, Such a salvation to me, . Hence the title poetic salvation. I have always written poems even when I was a kid. But I never shared them never saved them just let them go, And that is a shame because it's good to have a retrospective a history so to speak on your life. And poetry to me is a artistic type of journal I suppose. Well it's also a great way to express ones imagination. To take the mind through a journey whatever it may be light or dark. And that is where you have me. I express myself from both sides of that while my love for philosophy as a whole as been an inspiration in itself. I grew up in the Seattle area a very shy boy. Had friends kept to himself. But my imagination it gave me such great company. But even when I was a kid I did not write my imagination so much as just my frustrations and what have you. And of course as I said I threw them away. Too bad it was the paper not the actual feelings. But that was a young me. I started saving what I wrote at the start of 2000, started with love poems. Then depression and then went through a very dark time in my life. But I kept to myself and let it out poetically. I am anti social though I do peek up socially at times. So poetry really gave me a voice something I can express to others. After awhile I started writing in many different ways. Love, Darkness, Philosophy, History just anything that came to mind. I really feel I keep evolving as a poet and you know what we do in life we should never stop evolving. Poetry has just been a salvation to me hence the title poetic salvation. I grew up with dyslexia and depression. And you know what the best medicine has been to treat those? Poetry. Yes, Poetry. I live it. I breathe it and I bleed it. So very important to me. So when you see this title and see some of my work that may sound down or dark and you wonder salvation? Yes, Because I can get it out. It does not stay in me. That is poetic salvation to me! And today I throw away the bad feelings when they do happen. Not the paper

Download or read book A Little Salvation written by Judson Mitcham and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection from acclaimed novelist and poet Judson Mitcham features poems from the last twenty-five years, including forty new works and poems from his previously published collections, Somewhere in Ecclesiastes (1991) and This April Day (2003). Wise, witty, and deceptively plainspoken, Mitcham’s poems show how the moments that truly save us--that make us human--are necessarily the most fleeting. It is up to us, he reminds us, to create meaning from those moments, and in doing so to create our own salvation. The transitory nature of human experience is both the boon and the bane of the existence of the speakers in these poems, and every poem seems to recognize its own temporality, trying to find meaning rather than a definitive answer to the questions it raises. The tone of these poems combines a strong sense of humor with a pervasive feeling of loss, both celebrating and mourning that “a true note is still so hard to hit.” These voices revel in the human condition even as they are often saddened by it. While Mitcham’s background and settings are distinctly southern, his interests extend far beyond the regional. He intimately understands the problems and the people of the South but recognizes that these are, above all, human problems and human beings. His poems evoke Flannery O’Connor, Otis Redding, the Bible, and the Baptist Church, but they also respond to Walt Whitman, Wallace Stevens, and the death of Jacques Derrida.

Download or read book Poetic Theology written by William A. Dyrness and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the poetics of everyday life ? What can they teach us about God? Art, music, dance, and writing can certainly be poetic, but so can such diverse pastimes as fishing, skiing, or attending sports events. Any and all activities that satisfy our fundamental need for play, for celebration, and for ritual, says William Dyrness, are inherently poetic and in Poetic Theology he demonstrates that all such activities are places where God is active in the world. All of humanity s creative efforts, Dyrness points out, testify to our intrinsic longing for joy and delight and our deep desire to connect with others, with the created order, and especially with the Creator. This desire is rooted in the presence and calling of God in and through the good creation. With extensive reflection on aesthetics in spirituality, worship, and community development, Dyrness s Poetic Theology will be useful for all who seek fresh and powerful new ways to communicate the gospel in contemporary society. William Dyrness s bold invitation to a poetic theology shaped by Scripture, tradition, and imagination one luring us toward a fuller participation in beauty than argument or concept alone allow reminds us that truth itself is beautiful to behold and poetic to the core. . . . If poetry is in its deepest reflex an intensification of life, then Dyrness s call for a poetic theology is one we ignore at our peril, reminding us that faithful living is not only about proper thinking but also and, perhaps, more properly about the texture of our living and the quality of our loving. Mark S. Burrows Andover Newton Theological School Makes a strong case for aesthetics as one of the avenues used by God to draw human beings near to him and his glory. . . . A wonderful journey through Reformed spirituality and a wake-up call for Reformed theology. Cornelius van der Kooi Free University, Amsterdam

Download or read book Langston s Salvation written by Wallace D. Best and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion in Textual Studies, presented by the American Academy of Religion A new perspective on the role of religion in the work of Langston Hughes Langston's Salvation offers a fascinating exploration into the religious thought of Langston Hughes. Known for his poetry, plays, and social activism, the importance of religion in Hughes’ work has historically been ignored or dismissed. This book puts this aspect of Hughes work front and center, placing it into the wider context of twentieth-century American and African American religious cultures. Best brings to life the religious orientation of Hughes work, illuminating how this powerful figure helped to expand the definition of African American religion during this time. Best argues that contrary to popular perception, Hughes was neither an avowed atheist nor unconcerned with religious matters. He demonstrates that Hughes’ religious writing helps to situate him and other black writers as important participants in a broader national discussion about race and religion in America. Through a rigorous analysis that includes attention to Hughes’s unpublished religious poems, Langston’s Salvation reveals new insights into Hughes’s body of work, and demonstrates that while Hughes is seen as one of the most important voices of the Harlem Renaissance, his writing also needs to be understood within the context of twentieth-century American religious liberalism and of the larger modernist movement. Combining historical and literary analyses with biographical explorations of Langston Hughes as a writer and individual, Langston’s Salvation opens a space to read Langston Hughes’ writing religiously, in order to fully understand the writer and the world he inhabited.

Download or read book Prophetic Poetry written by Patricia Johnson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I went to a Salvation Army dinner with some of the staff of our church and came out knowing something had happened to me spiritually! The next morning, in my devotions, singing In My Life Lord Be Glorified, I heard, I am glorified. It was the beginning of my poetry. In the first poem He gave me, I realized He had birthed in my heart a ministry of missions. My mission field is wherever the Lord places me. I love sharing Jesus with everyone, but my special love is young people. Ive been blessed to spend much time with the Lord, sitting at His feet, in worship and praise, which what much of this poetry is about. Many are about sharing Jesus with the lost and the importance of salvation. They show His love and compassion for each and every one of us in different ways. One shows the Lords sense of humor, in that its about how the Lord defeated the Devil through the Cross at Calvary. Most are prophetic and about winning the lost to Jesus. Remember, as you are reading and being blessed, Jesus loves each and every one of you so much, He shed His blood and died on the cross at Calvary for all of our sins. Hes resurrected, hallelujah, and seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for all who have been saved and are His! Praise God!

Download or read book Salvation written by Nadia Parvin Mou and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally the book Salvation: A Mystery is imagined by the poet herself to mystify our daily life to be more moral and just to revive our divine self. The poem encourages the poet to merge the entity with Nature to feel the Creator's glory as it is her harmonious journey towards petty-major lives. Only the poet feels the unique power in unity to diversities. The one color white is the symbol of peace mingling together seven colours to reflect the light. The bower of the poems is decorated with multicolored flowers to feel the more beauty in revelry. Only Nature is the revelation of the God's entity. In the lover's realm its soul's knowledge to love and beloved is our religion. Thus, section Light begins to enlighten our human souls. Section Divine is led by mystique zeal of the poet. The zeal in vision may be true or lie to hear from the unconscious as the poems need to realize the Divine power. To err is human so souls are led to salvation- creation. Creativity is delight, creativity is pain also. Section Knowledge is the replica of experience and the revolt of unconscious. The poems pine for more knowledge as the spirit is splitted itself to reveal the anarchic nation and actually it is a conflict in love between men and women. The beloved soul always pines for "Home sweet home."

Download or read book Dante s Hermeneutics of Salvation written by Christine O'Connell Baur and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely considered one of the greatest works produced in Europe during the Middle Ages, Dante's La Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) has influenced countless generations of readers, yet surprisingly few books have attempted to explain the philosophical relevance of this great epic. Dante's Hermeneutics of Salvation takes on this ambitious project. Turning to Heidegger to provide a theoretical framework for her study, Christine O'Connell Baur illustrates how Dante's poem invites its readers to undertake their own existential-hermeneutic journey to freedom. As the pilgrim progresses in his journey, she argues, he moves beyond a merely literal, 'infernal' self-interpretation that is grounded on present attachments to things in the world. If we readers accompany the pilgrim in this hermeneutic conversion, we will see that our own existential commitments can help disclose the meaning of our world and our own finite freedom. A work of considerable importance both for and teachers and students of Dante studies, Dante's Hermeneutics of Salvation will also prove useful to scholars working in medieval studies, philosophy, and literary theory.
