Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings. Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to children's textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to our lives today.

The eloquence of lovers is celebrated in this rich and sensuous collection - the love of women for men. Héloïse, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Katherine Mansfield, George Sand, and others express their very real passion intensely - as, in fiction, does Juliet for her Romeo, Jane Eyre for her Rochester and Catherine for her Heathcliffe. With the music of Mendelssohn, Tchaikovksy, Puccini, Legar and more, here is some of the most tender and love prose and poetry in literature.

I heard the call, the tone of it teasing, a broadcast chorus of incessant singing amid devilish choirs of insidious patter, the dry rasping of scales and portentous matter to cast shadows of sounds among us that must listen, beyond maddened distraction, inaudible vision. For I heard the call, the lies of it pleasing, then I followed it blindly where it would lead me. Beyond death and disaster through ranges of never, I learned listening is ruin and blindness is error. I cursed blackness of bruises, I despised the tender of capital expenditures and I as the lender. I heard the call, and I ...

Mad pathos fetish broods while the black brow is creased to contemplate all manner of undoing, lays a thumb to the blade beneath a leering, sanguine eye and yearns unspeakably for a final message from God. Gross pathos fetish seethes to feed upon frustrations and terrors until the mind of a single lunatic is filled with dreams of dark endeavors that become a horror of blood, until pale the gaping face festooned in spider webs of splatters beholds a hand trembling at the wound, and moans out a final message to God. Drear pathos fetish blooms, that from an unwholesome vacuum, that from a fog ...

The Hesiod Collection presents an essential anthology of ancient Greek literature, showcasing the profound impact of Hesiod's works on the literary and philosophical traditions of the Western world. This collection features three of his most significant texts: "The Works and Days," "The Theogony," and "The Shield of Heracles." In "The Works and Days," Hesiod offers a unique blend of practical advice and moral instruction, addressing the challenges of rural life and the importance of hard work, justice, and piety.

The Shield of Heracles is an archaic Greek epic poem that was attributed to Hesiod during antiquity. The subject of the poem is the expedition of Heracles and Iolaus against Cycnus, the son of Ares, who challenged Heracles to combat as Heracles was passing through Thessaly. It has been suggested that this epic may reflect anti-Thessalian feeling after the First Sacred War (595–585 BCE): in the epic, a Thessalian hero interfering with the Phocian sanctuary is killed by a Boeotian hero (Heracles), whose mortal father Amphitryon had for allies Locrians and Phocians.

Tenacity Of The Maid are anthologies that I wrote while working as a domestic worker. I must say I learned to respect domestic workers than I ever did before. I met domestic workers in Jo’burg, Venda and Polokwane and saw one thing in common, these mothers are hard working and determined to fight poverty. They endure being underpaid, overworked, long hours of work, humiliation, belittling by their madams, their bosses’ husbands, and children. These women have to take care of their own families after a long day of hard work. Most madam’s do not register domestic workers for ...

These poems Past Shame, Present Pain, Future Gain are about my past and that of some people which are full of shame because of their own deeds and that of their parents or ancestors.

Our heavenly Father led me to write these poems that deal with daily issues that we face. I write not because I have achieved but simply depending on the Holy Spirit daily for help in my walk with our LORD Jesus Christ. The journey to ...

These poems I wrote while staying in a back-room. I observed the lives amongst tenants from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Democratic Republic of Congo. Living in shacks and backrooms built with bricks and those built with concrete like the one I was living in. These accommodations are temporary for the tenants who are renting. Some tenants are job seekers while others are students all in all they are trying to make a living. God of heaven laid it upon my heart to write these poems. Firstly I did not realize the hardship of staying in a room that is all in one. What I mean is a room...

Vasilis Faita's visual horizon encloses a primordial, or rather genetic affinity with an astral destiny of pessimism and loneliness in the spin of a universe degenerating from 'one God to another God', a utopia where 'the meaning of words...escapes” and the “meeting”, to which the title of his collections refers, remain untouched. Faita's poetry has a conscious, strong connection with the Seferic ontology, a complex, organic semiology, that expresses itself with painful stories not only of the self in the singular orientation of the poet but also of all the other "lost generations" in...

Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing, in poems and prose, for an ideal place. A place never to be found again. Imagine the shock, imagine the sadness when a daughter discovers her father’s work, the poetry he had never shared with anyone during the last two decades of his life. Six years after that moment of discovery, which happened in her childhood home while mourning for his passing, Uvi Poznansky presents a tender tribute: a collection of poems and prose,...

Der "König der Vorleser" nutzt sein ausdrucksstarkes Stimmrepertoire für die Meisterstücke der deutschen Lyrik und bringt neben beliebten Klassikern auch unbekanntere Schätze zum Klingen.
