Book excerpt: In order to fully appreciate the author’s ideas for creating this work, an understanding of an epic poem is necessary. An epic poem consists of a lengthy narrative. It is about a segment of time and place in which someone (a hero or such) conveys his thoughts, feelings and experiences into verse. The verse is not a simple one. It is based on dactylic hexameter as in Homer’s “Iliad” and “Odyssey” from ancient times, or Dante’s “Divine Comedy”. Dante and Virgil, the Roman poet, traveled through hell, purgatory and paradise in order to reach God. Another example is Virgil’s “Aeneid”. In this work, Mr. Bucci describes the thoughts and feelings as he experienced them in his coming to America. He included the people he met in his journey through life. Mr. Bucci greatly admired the land that he had become a part of. He struggled through the hardships and trials of life, including the “great depression” of 1929. The hopes and dreams of everyone, he felt were dependent on each individual’s freedom to reach out to the opportunities that America could offer them. His work offers hope and encouragement to all who would listen to his words of wisdom. This poem was how he saw the current times in America, the land that he valued and loved so much.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Epic Poetry (Post-Virgilian) The following pages are meant to exhibit the different national renderings of a variety of poetry that perhaps more than any other has given status to the literature possessing a great specimen of it, and supremacy to the poet of that specimen. I have restricted my formal examination of poems to those of the post - Virgilian period. So much excellent criticism has been made on Homer and Virgil that it seemed presumption on my part, as well as a needless increase of the bulk of the book, to adventure a full statement of the epical position of these two princely poets. It is clear, however, that no history of epic poetry could be called satisfactory that did not contain some reference to these poets - that did not, indeed, to a definite if limited extent, take into account and appraise their work. I have therefore in the Introduction devoted some pages to a consideration of certain aspects of the epical quality of their respective poems. Other pre-Virgilian epics than those of Homer claim, and have received, a certain amount of attention. A study like mine, to reach true conclusions, needs observation not only of the great masters of epic, but also of humbler poets whose good intentions have not been reinforced by potent inspiration.

Book excerpt: Two Great Epics, One Master Storyteller! (Now joined by the author's audiobook narration) Hailed as "an exemplar of epic poetry" (San Francisco Review of Books), Abdiel LeRoy crafts visionary tales inspired by Bible themes, Shakespeare, and mythology. Combining prophetic miracles, dueling angels, and shapeshifting creatures, his verses recall the great epics of Homer, Dante, and Ovid. 1. Obama's Dream It's April 2015. President Barack Obama is sleeping in the White House, though not peacefully, when two great angels sweep into the Master Bedroom. One of them draws Obama's soul from his body and takes him on a night-time journey, teaching him new lessons about statecraft. But Obama's greatest lesson that fateful night, and his chance at redemption, comes when he is presented before the very throne of God. Did Obama heed Heaven's message? You decide! 2. Elijah Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath. But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven! This 12-book epic relives the stunning miracles of the great prophet as described in the Old Testament--fed by ravens, raising the dead, commanding the rain, calling down fire from Heaven, outrunning horses, ascending to Heaven. But along with all this, the author weaves a rich thread of mythological influences: shapeshifting goddesses, shamanic journeys, dueling dragons, Queen Jezebel's seductions, and dissension in the ranks of King Ahab's bodyguard. Raunchy yet reverent, this timeless tale takes wing in the poet's pen, the poet's voice! What reviewers are saying: "An epic tale, Biblically based, but with considerable writer's freedom that makes the book wholly entertaining." San Francisco Review of Books" "Absolutely wonderful and hypnotic narration, his voice flowing over gently with the narrative song of his words." Amy's Bookshelf Reviews, Top 10 Books of 2018 What Amazon readers are saying "Captivated me from start to end." "Deeply stirring, intelligent and amusing in turn." "Takes the reader on a fantastic journey across time and space." "Cleverly done!"
