Book Description
Read through this repertoire of poems, and you will witness Richards journey, one which begins at a young age and continues to this day. At every step, his peers and family members have been instrumental in the success he had achieved in his various endeavours. His recollection of how hes relished success and his gratitude toward those who have made it possible is expressed in a style that he has truly mastered. Through unique literary skills, Mr. Brooks shows how he has devoted himself to building friendships over the years and the dedication needed in keeping those cherished friendships. Its about sharing the little things in life with others, which have no price, but which brings us the greatest fulfilment. Its about helping to shoulder the weight of others burdens, to be with them in their darkest hour, and to remind them that its that very darkness, which is at its worst before the dawning of a better day.

Rebel Lions
Author: Michael McClure
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 9780811211642
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Rebel Lions, Michael McClure's first book of poetry since the retrospective Selected Poems (1985), spans a decade of profound personal change and poetic evolution for the author. In an introductory note, he provides a backdrop for the collection, which moves from old life to new. McClure's work bursts forth from the matrix of the physical and spiritual. "Poetry is one of the edges of consciousness," he asserts. "And consciousness is a real thing like the hoof of a deer or the smell of a bush of blackberries at the roadside in the sun." In the first section of Rebel Lions, "Old Flames," the poems range from the realistic ("Awakening and Recalling a Summer Hike") to the metaphorical ("The Silken Stitching"), as the poet addresses a life on the verge of transformation. The second section, "Rose Rain," exults in a life transformed through love's alchemy. Rebel Lions closes with "New Brain," poems affirming the freedom of all humankind and matter in the eternal now.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
A brutal combat. A test of courage. A battle that will change history. 1565: a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean stands gatekeeper between East and West. It is about to become the scene for one of the most amazing stories of bravery, battle and bloodlust: the siege of Malta. Formed in the Holy Land in the 11th century, a small band of knights had long sought a home. Driven from their lands by Ottoman might, they came to rest in Malta from where they watched the Turks and corsairs raid the Spanish empire. As word came from Constantinople that Malta was in the sights of the Ottoman Empire, all of Europe watched as a force of over 30,000 men besieged the island - itself only peopled by only 500 knights and a few thousand local soldiers. On that small rock an epic struggle will be played out - the story of individual men, warriors and slaves, but also the story of two worlds colliding.
