Book excerpt: The bestselling poet Malcolm Guite chooses forty poems from across the centuries that express the universal experience of loss and reflects on them in order to draw out the comfort, understanding and hope they offer. Some of the poems will be familiar, many will be new, but together they provide a sure companion for the journey across difficult terrain. Some of Malcolm’s own poetry is included, written out of his work as a priest with the dying and the bereaved and giving to the volume a powerful authenticity. The choice of forty poems is significant and reflects an ancient practice still observed in some European and Middle Eastern societies of taking extra-special care of a bereaved person in the forty days following a death – our word quarantine come from this.

Download or read book Easter Egg and other poems of faith hope love written by Daniel W Pannebaker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF THE most well-known passages in the Bible--and, perhaps, in all of literature--is the thirteenth chapter of St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, often called the "love chapter." In it, Paul extols the qualities of love and ends his writing by stating, "And these three abide: faith, hope, and love." These three virtues have guided me during my days on this earth: ? A faith that draws me daily to admit my inadequacies and to ask for the grace to live a life worthy of His calling ? A hope that continuously compels me to be a stronger person, a brighter light, a better writer ? A deep and abiding love for God, my family, my friends I have tried to express these virtues in the poems I share with you here. The majority of my poems do not rhyme. Instead, I like to build a rhythm in my writing by how I break each line in a verse so that your eye is constantly yearning for the next word. For something different, I have included two examples--escape and Lovers and Other Strangers--of concrete poetry, a form developed in the 1950s in which the physical shape of the words on the page adds as much meaning to the poem as the words themselves. And with a nod to my Bachelor's degree in Russian, I also give you ? ?????????? ????????????, with its translation on the following page. I recently took one of those online quizzes about "what type of writer are you?" My results said that, "You write because you feel a deeper calling to the work, and because you want to explore the soul element of life. You're not shy of adding a moral to the story and most want to reach readers who will understand your unique view on life. Writing is more than just putting words on paper for you--it is a written prayer." And to that I can say only, "Amen."
