Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new collection of poems, the author of Poems for the Soul continues her journey of self-exploration through the healing world of poetry. Enjoy the ride as the author, poem by poem, dives deeper in search of greater meaning and inner peace. KIRKUS REVIEW Hugueney (Poems for the Soul, 2016) offers an elegantly crafted journey of self-exploration through poetry. In a recent issue of The New Yorker, Ruth Franklin wrote about the persistent popularity of poet Mary Oliver, arguing that Olivers strength is her accessibility: she writes blank verse in a conversational style, with no typographical gimmicks. Reading this description, its easy to see why Hugueney calls Oliver beloved, because the younger poets verse can be described in very similar terms. Here, she writes about the elder writers influence: I do not have woods to stroll through, as beloved / poet Mary Oliver, but there are patches of green where I live / and the smell of wet earth, chirping birds, / and a gentle breeze to lose (or is it find?) myself in. This is Hugueney at her bestunpretentious, honest, limpid. This is her second volume, and it shows her rounding into form as a writer. Although she tackles a variety of topics in this effort, two stand out: the challenge of raising an autistic child and the struggle against a low-grade sorrow that she calls the fog. Hugueney has two kids, and the youngest is autistic. She writes, Autism takes its toll. / Only the strong will be given this challenge. / So many years of feeding, sweeping, swiping, / washing, brushing. / Its worse when Im alone with my son. / No one to laugh with, to share with. Sometimes, that toll seems too heavy to bear; this, it appears, is when the fog rolls in: As I swipe the elegant marble counter / with my soggy, faded washcloth, / I suddenly feel the fog creeping in again. One hears the creep of depression in lines like these, but its heartening to read an author whos willing to write so openly about the real emotional challenges of parenthood. Further, the collections journey ends with hope for the speaker and for her family. A late poem reads, I am on the right path. / Angels are lighting my way right now. / I just have to keep hold of my compass. / A new beginning is always possible. After finishing this book, one cant help but wish the author well as she continues on her own path. Affliction resolves into hope and light in this cathartic collection.

It presents some of the choicest fruit from the flowering of mystics across time, across traditions and from around the world. After each of the poems in this anthology Ivan M. Granger shares his reflections and contemplations, inviting the reader to new and deeper views of the Divine Presence. This is a grace-filled collection which the reader will gladly return to over and over again." LAWRENCE EDWARDS, Ph.D. author of Awakening Kundalini: The Path to Radical Freedom and Kali's Bazaar

Download or read book God on the Hill Temple Poems from Tirupati written by Annamayya and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005-09-17 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devotional poems of Annamayya (15th century) are perhaps the most accessible and universal achievement of classical Telugu literature, one of the major literatures of pre-modern India. Annamayya effectively created and popularized a new genre, the short padam song, which spread throughout the Telugu and Tamil regions and would become an important vehicle for the composition of Carnatic music - the classical music of South India. In this book, Velcheru Narayana Rao and David Shulman offer translations of nearly 100 of Annamayya's poems. All of them are addressed to the god associated with the famous temple city of Tirupati -- Annamayya's home. This deity is sometimes referred to as "god on the hill" or "lord of the seven hills." The poems are couched in a simple and approachable language invented by Annamayya for this purpose and fall into two major categories, the erotic and the metaphysical. The erotic poems, usually in the female voice, sing of the complexities of the god's love life. The metaphysical poems are sung in the poet's own voice and explore the relationship between the poet and his god. Though a small sample of Annamayya's surviving corpus, the selection in this volume suggests the scope of both genres. Rao and Shulman's elegant and lyrical modern translations of these beautiful and moving verses are wonderfully readable as poetry in their own right. The Afterword enriches the reader's understanding, providing historical context and returning us to the poems themselves with a deeper appreciation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We are homesick everywhere,” writes Tishani Doshi, “even when we’re home.” With aching empathy, righteous anger, and rebellious humor, A God at the Door calls on the extraordinary minutiae of nature and humanity to redefine belonging and unveil injustice. In an era of pandemic lockdown and brutal politics, these poems make vital space for what must come next—the return of wonder and free movement, and a profound sense of connection to what matters most. From a microscopic cell to flightless birds, to a sumo wrestler and the tree of life, Doshi interrupts the news cycle to pause in grief or delight, to restore power to language. A God at the Doorinvites the reader on a pilgrimage—one that leads us back to the sacred temple of ourselves. This is an exquisite, generous collection from a poet at the peak of her powers.

Each poem is accompanied by a blank prompted page, in essence making the reader the co-author of their own copy. *** Advanced Praise "Flor did a beautiful job at teaching how to nourish your temple and embrace your glow through her poems on each page. Each time I picked up the book, it really did feel like self-care to me and made me feel more motivated and seen. Perfect if you want to nourish your own temple and really care for yourself, through reading." - Kendall Hope, Author of Pockets of Lavender "With flowery imagery and a dose of spirituality, Flor's poems provide much-needed comfort in a turbulent world. These pages will gently hold your hand as you discover connection in all its forms." - Marlina Mossberg, Author of Peach "This book was really uplifting and magical. Every page gave me a sense of self-reflection and renewal, and I honestly never knew poetry could resonate with me in terms of self-care (mind, body, and soul, if you will). If your first initial thought of poetry is Edgar Allen Poe-like mine was-then I recommend Flor Ana's work 100%, because she's given poetry a new meaning and this journal-like book of introspection is absolutely powerful." - KaliVictoria, Author of The Shadows of Heaven "This book is a small investment that will change your relationship with yourself. I often take my copy to the beach or park, connected to nature with a blanket and snacks. It's a beautiful book that gives you a dose of inspiration every time you pick it up. I love the space to journal/draw what you feel. The poems are true, real, and speak to everyone's heart and soul." - Katerina Rivera, Co-Founder of Infused Karma Artistry "Flor makes the perfect pairing between poetry and self-care. This collection of poems focuses on enjoying the simple things in life. Reading this collection was a very interactive experience as well as relaxing. The simplistic language and structure of the poems are very well suited to its purpose: to encourage self-care through poetry." - Jenny Ponce, Host of Miami Lit Podcast
