From the Singing Bowl of the Soul: Fifty Poems is a volume of reflections on a myriad facets of life as they appear to the poet in fleeting glimpses or more sustained visions. These epiphanies (elliptical or extended as the case may be) emanate, for the most part from intuitive apprehensions or sensory perceptions, proceeding sometimes from the most mundane observations to unexpected discoveries. The speaker’s voice, often ironical, at times exasperated, though sometimes invested with a suppressed wonder is rarely effusive. While this collection has poems on time, art, changing ...

For all the softness verse instills, there’s an uncontained fire beneath, which burns until the skin wears thin and the flames burst forth. There’s a time for nuance and a time for hammering, not to put a too-fine ecclesiastical point on it — and this is the time to assure the word becomes the sword — the word provokes reaction. A mighty battle is being fought by the cultural warriors in the land — a war to be recognized as equal and unique. Normal is an ubiquitous label not fit for the American collective conscious. It runs counter to the soul of the nation. So, sometimes soft ...

Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope.

The oldest surviving philosophy of work, justice, and what it means to live in hard times. Nearly three thousand years ago, a Boeotian farmer named Hesiod sat down to tell his brother the truth: that the gods have hidden the good life from mortals, that work is the price of survival, and that justice — fragile, cosmic, indifferent to power — is the only thing standing between civilization and collapse. Works and Days is one of the founding texts of Western literature — and one of the least read. While Homer sang of heroes, Hesiod sang of the field, the season, the neighbor's debt, and...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 074 George Herbert’s anguish when he sensed that God was calling him to become a priest, his almost mystical vision of the priestly office, and the total dedication with which he finally embraced it, provide us with inspiration and encouragement in our own desire to serve God.
