Download or read book The Call of the Open Road A Collection of Poems written by Sarah Jane Gough Laughlin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography by Jane F. Corbett. Compiled by Judith Gibson, this collection of poems by Sarah Jane Gough Laughlin illustrates that life is a journey, a pilgrimage which stretches "on through the sunshine" to a "land of pine and rain." It is the call of an open road which divides in many directions. Sarah Jane learned that each path she took led to a better one and, even though she endured much hardship through her journeys, she was willing to launch forward into the unknown, less traveled way. She believed her poetry to be "homespun" and simplistic; however, the words are a reflection of her inward beauty. This volume of poetry will inspire you to find your own quiet places and open roads.

Download or read book Ten Poems to Open Your Heart written by Roger Housden and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Poems to Open Your Heart is a book devoted to love: to the intimacy of personal love and lovemaking, to a loving compassion for others, and to the love that embraces both this world and the next. This new volume from Roger Housden features a few of the same poets as his extraordinarily moving Ten Poems to Change Your Life, such as Mary Oliver and Pablo Neruda, along with contributions from Sharon Olds, Wislawa Szymborska, Czeslaw Milosz, Denise Levertov, and others. Any one of the ten poems and, indeed, any one of Housden’s reflections on them, can open, gladden, or pierce your heart. Through the voices of these ten inspiring poets, and through illustrations from his own life, Housden expresses the tenderness, beauty, joys, and sorrows of love, the presence of which, more than anything else, gives human existence its meaning. As Housden says in his eloquent introduction, “Great poetry happens when the mind is looking the other way and words fall from the sky to shape a moment that would normally be untranslatable. . . . When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.” From the Hardcover edition.
Download or read book Poet Warrior A Memoir written by Joy Harjo and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National bestseller An ALA Notable Book Three-term poet laureate Joy Harjo offers a vivid, lyrical, and inspiring call for love and justice in this contemplation of her trailblazing life. Joy Harjo, the first Native American to serve as U.S. poet laureate, invites us to travel along the heartaches, losses, and humble realizations of her "poet-warrior" road. A musical, kaleidoscopic, and wise follow-up to Crazy Brave, Poet Warrior reveals how Harjo came to write poetry of compassion and healing, poetry with the power to unearth the truth and demand justice. Harjo listens to stories of ancestors and family, the poetry and music that she first encountered as a child, and the messengers of a changing earth—owls heralding grief, resilient desert plants, and a smooth green snake curled up in surprise. She celebrates the influences that shaped her poetry, among them Audre Lorde, N. Scott Momaday, Walt Whitman, Muscogee stomp dance call-and-response, Navajo horse songs, rain, and sunrise. In absorbing, incantatory prose, Harjo grieves at the loss of her mother, reckons with the theft of her ancestral homeland, and sheds light on the rituals that nourish her as an artist, mother, wife, and community member. Moving fluidly between prose, song, and poetry, Harjo recounts a luminous journey of becoming, a spiritual map that will help us all find home. Poet Warrior sings with the jazz, blues, tenderness, and bravery that we know as distinctly Joy Harjo.

Book excerpt: Being a mother of three I certainly know the challenges that every day life can bring. But, what about the painful past? How does one cope with horrid memories of an abusive childhood? How does one overcome the guilt of years of alcohol and drug abuse? How does one grasp the very threads of life and maintain a mere existence in a world filled with much corruption? I can tell you that the Lord Jesus Christ is the One Who lowered the pistol from my right temple and gave me hope in my meaningless life. He is the Answer to every question I have, the Mender of every problem I face, the Forgiver of every sin I commit, and the Leader of every step that I take! He has made all of the difference in my life! He IS the difference! He IS the Truth, the Way, and the Life! He IS! Over time, on my endless journey, He has wiped away the tears and given me the courage to look back with a forgiving and shameless heart. He has given me the strength to move forward in each new day! In my book, The Open Road of Life, there are poems, inspirations, prayers, and true stories telling what the Lord has put on my heart since I gave my life back to Him. Some tell of what Hes brought me through while others tell of lessons learned. Feel the pains of the past and the confusions of what every day life can bring. Read how the love of God has comforted and brought so much joy to my life through faith and trust in Him. Discover the beauty of lifes many wonders. Read about the changes He has made in me and know that He will do the same for you. See how He opened my eyes and heart and gave me a deeper appreciation and respect for everyone and everything around me, but most of all a greater desire and love for Him! "I LOVE You fervently and devotedly, O Lord, my Strength. The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my keen and firm Strength in Whom I will trust and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower. I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies." Psalm 18:1-3 AMP May the love of God be real to you today as you read what His love has done for me! May you know that He truly loves you regardless of what youve done or where youve been. What really matters now is where youll go from here. So kick off your shoes, wiggle your toes a bit, and take a little stroll with Him down The Open Road of Life!
