Our quoted authority is not the people in white coats but those with a quill, a heart and a soul that can take these feelings of love and loss and with the ink of words put to verse feelings and emotions that can be re-lived and shared by all. As they venture through depression, war, slavery to heartache and the loss of loved ones our eyes may mist and tears gently fall at what collectively we have done, have experienced, have witnessed and lost.

A Hidden Garden is Whitley Strieber's first book of poetry. Whitley has been writing poems for many years, but previously only shared them with friends. This book contains poems he has written since 1980, but most of them were written since 2015. Just one of the poems, "Somebody Kissed Me," directly refers to his experiences with the otherworldly presence he calls the visitors, but it eloquently expresses the power and mystery of this very special part of his life.

Before Langston Hughes and his literary prowess became synonymous with American poetry, he was a seventeen-year-old on a train to Mexico City, seeking funds to pursue his passion. His early poems, beloved verses like “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” were written without formal training, often on the back of napkins and envelopes, and were inspired by the sights and sounds of Black working-class people he encountered in his early life. Blues in Stereo is a posthumous collection of these early works, in which we see Langston Hughes like we’ve never seen him before.

4000 år efter at man i oldtidens Irak fortalte de første historier om kong Gilgamesh - helten, der jagede evigt liv - lever hans fortælling stadig videre. Det babylonske epos er et enestående eksempel på, at en fortælling kan brænde sig gennem tiden og forblive aktuel på tværs af årtusinder. "Gilgamesh" - hvis forfatter er ukendt - er et af verdenslitteraturens ældste hovedværker, og i dag bliver man stadig rørt af de oldgamle følelser, som eposset skildrer med poetisk præcision: kærlighed og sorg, rastløshed og dødsangst, venskab og vildskab.

When sleep was at its deepest, night at its blackest, up from the mist-filled marsh came Grendel stalking. Thus begins the battle between good and evil, for lying in wait and anxious to challenge the ogre Grendel is a young man, strong-willed and fire-hearted. This man is Beowulf, whose heroic dragon-slaying deeds were sung in the courts of Anglo-Saxon England more than a thousand years ago.

Originally published in 1923, the book begins with a man named Almustafa living on an island called Orphalese. Locals consider him something of a sage, but he is from elsewhere and has waited twelve years for the right ship to take him home. From a hill above the town, he sees his ship coming into the harbor, and realizes his sadness at leaving the people he has come to know. The elders of the city ask him not to leave.

The Perseverance is the remarkable debut book by British-Jamaican poet Raymond Antrobus.

Life goes in a circle from birth to death. Life can lead us down a depressed path, resulting in addictions and darkness. Losing loved ones reminds us how precious life can be.

In flowing stair-step tercets, Shaughnessy leads us down into her generative core, exposing moments of spiritual and intellectual awakening, her love of art and the written word, and her sense of the life force itself, which is ignited by the conversation—across time and space—with other women.

I believe Jesus Christ is the way to any lasting relationship with God, with ourselves, with those we court in hopes of building a romance that leads to an everlasting Marriage after the "I do" of the wedding. But it all starts and ends with Jesus, to make Love Intertwined.
