Heavenly Poems and Prose by Charles W. Craig Pdf

Although I have achieved almost all of the goals in life that I ever set out to accomplish, nothing in my pursuit of the American Dream can ever compare with the gift of the Holy Spirit that I received on January 24, 1999. My life was forever changed in the twinkling of an eye when I was 66 years old. This momentous event completely overshadows anything that has ever happened to me, and to think that the Creator of the Universe has singled me out to be one of His own is almost more than my mind can enfold. After this born-again experience, I was filled with the tremendous desire to do two things, i.e., to read everything of God that I could get my hands on and to be of service in His kingdom. To that end, I've read hundreds of books, commentaries, and devotionals, and I've made it a point to read the Bible through every year since my conversion. Then, too, I wrote my biography entitled Life's Reflections with the sub-title of From A Toddler To Eternity which was published by AuthorHouse in January of 2007. In addition, I was moved by the Holy Spirit to write a number of poems and articles, as well as my testimony, and these offerings comprise the substance of this book. It is my fervent hope that the thoughts expressed herein will be an inspiration and a blessing to you and to others in your life. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Heaven by Rowan Ricardo Phillips Pdf

One of The Washington Post's Best Poetry Collections of 2015 One of NPR's Best Books of 2015 Long-listed for the National Book Award in poetry "Who the hell's heaven is this?" Rowan Ricardo Phillips offers many answers, and none at all, in Heaven, the piercing and revelatory encore to his award-winning debut, The Ground. Swerving elegantly from humor to heartbreak, from Colorado to Florida, from Dante's Paradise to Homer's Iliad, from knowledge to ignorance to awe, Phillips turns his gaze upward and outward, probing and upending notions of the beyond. "Feeling, real feeling / with all its faulty / Architecture, is / Beyond a god's touch"—but it does not elude Phillips. Meditating on feverish boyhood, on two paintings by Chuck Close, on Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, on a dead rooster by the side of the road in Ohio, on an elk grazing outside his window, his language remains eternally intoxicating, full of play, pathos, and surprise. "The end," he writes, "like / All I've ever told you, is uncertain." Or, elsewhere: "The only way then to know a truth / Is to squint in its direction and poke." Phillips—who received a 2013 Whiting Writers' Award as well as the PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award—may not be certain, but as he squints and pokes in the direction of truth, his power of perception and elegance of expression create a place where beauty and truth come together and drift apart like a planet orbiting its star. The result is a book whose lush and wounding beauty will leave its mark on readers long after they've turned the last page.

Heaven on Earth and Other Poems (Classic Reprint) by Thomas Ostenson Stine Pdf

Excerpt from Heaven on Earth and Other Poems In 1919 a small edition of my book, Heaven on Earth and Other Poems appeared. Since its publication I have written several poems and also made slight corrections in a few of my poems formerly published. This Second Edition Enlarged contains sixty - five of my poems and two of my prose sketches, divided into Later and Early Poems. I have had an aim and a purpose in writing poetry and prose. I wrote Heaven on Earth, Greetings From Puget Sound, The Soul of the Poet, The Blooms of Deschi, and others, for the purpose of instilling into the human soul a love for the beautiful, grand and sublime. I wrote Emblem of Freedom and Spirit of Liberty to show that a citizen of this country must be true at heart to be an American - native born or adopted. Men and women must be brave, pure and loyal. I wrote King Bacchus, The Crimson Cup, Reflections of Pete La boe, and others, to reveal evil and wrong. We have to show up and break up evil and wrong to permit the ihflowing and infilling of sunshine. I wrote Uncle Sam in Prophecy about three months before the signing of the armistice with Germany. The purpose of this poem is to show the great work that the United States has been doing and will be doing for the good of the world. In brief, all of my poems and prose sketches have an aim and a purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Caribou Run by Richard Kelly Kemick Pdf

At one moment, a pure abstraction; at the next, an incontrovertible presence of hooves, antlers, and fur. The beating heart of this assured debut by Richard Kelly Kemick is the Porcupine caribou herd of the western Arctic. In Caribou Run, Richard Kelly Kemick orchestrates a suite of poems both encyclopedic and lyrical, in which the caribou is both metaphor and phenomenon -- text and exegesis. He explores what we share with this creature of blood and bone and what is hidden, alien, and ineffable. Following the caribou through their annual cycle of migration, Kemick experiments with formal and thematic variations that run from lyric studies of the creature and its environment, to found poems that play with the peculiar poetry of scientific discourse, to highly personal poems that find resonance in the caribou as a metaphor and a guiding spirit. Running the gamut from long-lined free verse and ghazal form to tightly controlled tankas and interwoven rhyme schemes, Caribou Run serves notice that a formidable new talent has been let loose on the terrain of Canadian poetry.

All the Whiskey in Heaven by Charles Bernstein Pdf

All the Whiskey in Heaven brings together Charles Bernstein’s best work from the past thirty years, an astonishing assortment of different types of poems. Yet despite the distinctive differences from poem to poem, Bernstein’s characteristic explorations of how language both limits and liberates thought are present throughout. Modulating the comic and the dark structural invention with buoyant soundplay, these challenging works give way to poems of lyric excess and striking emotional range. This is poetry for poetry’s sake, as formally radical as it is socially engaged, providing equal measures of aesthetic pleasure, hilarity, and philosophical reflection. Long considered one of America’s most inventive and influential contemporary poets, Bernstein reveals himself to be both trickster and charmer.

Sometimes I Never Suffered by Shane McCrae Pdf

Spanning religious, historical, and political themes, a new collection from the award-winning poet I think now more than half Of life is death but I can’t die Enough for all the life I see In Sometimes I Never Suffered, his seventh collection of poems, Shane McCrae remains “a shrewd composer of American stories” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Here, an angel, hastily thrown together by his fellow residents of Heaven, plummets to Earth in his first moments of consciousness. Jim Limber, the adopted mixed-race son of Jefferson Davis, wanders through the afterlife, reckoning with the nuances of America’s racial history, as well as his own. Sometimes I Never Suffered is a search for purpose and atonement, freedom and forgiveness, imagining eternity not as an escape from the past or present, but as a reverberating record and as the culmination of time’s manifold potential to mend.
