Life Seen Through a Vintage Window
Author: L.A. Evans
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1503589242
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
I have created a diverse collection of poems, ranging from limericks to iambic pentameter, free verse to haiku, and everything in between. In terms of mood, they range from humor to thoughtful introspection and sadness. There is only one thing they all have in common: their intent is to softly caress your heart. Read the poems slowly out loud to a friend, taking time to absorb the underlying feeling, and let your emotions respond accordingly. The poems present life as I see it and therefore provide a glimpse into who I am. If you hate it, you hate me. If you love it, you love me. If its just okay, thats okay. I still love you.

Book Description
"Don't worry about what you sees on de other side of the Möbius Window because it only gots one side." In 1914, fifty years after a forgotten cabal of wizards stalemated the Civil War and overthrew the incompetent Confederacy to establish the Southern Alliance Monarchy, twenty-two-year-old Lieutenant Maximillian Bontemps saves the newly crowned, teenaged King John from a sniper in Asheville by knocking the boy onto his royal ass. Angry that Max dared touch Him, the King dismisses Max from His Royal Guard. Dejected, Max returns home to New Orleans to start a private Security Service. New Orleans is the last bastion of wizardry in the south. For Max's first security job, a young woman hires him to guard her mother, a prominent witch. Claims about magic have never impressed Max because he's never seen it work, but he is broke, and the daughter has compelling blue eyes. Leave it to a beautiful woman to draw Max into a whirlwind of greed, corruption, and a plot to usurp the boy King. The View Through the Möbius Window is an alternate history of magic, intrigue, and romance.

Book Description
"Science and the Infinite; or, Through a Window in the Blank Wall" by Sydney T. Klein As a scientist and science writer, Klein aims to make cerebral concepts easier to digest even for people who aren't active in the field. Though some ideas are a bit outdated due to newer scientific perspectives and discoveries, many fit well with contemporary thought and were therefore well ahead of their time including many confirmed by current science such as humans' limited, 3-dimensional observable shadow of the ultimate reality. It covers everything from mysticism to space, many of which are topics that are still relevant today.

The Odes of Horace
Author: Horace
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466894938
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
David Ferry, the acclaimed poet and translator of Gilgamesh, has made an inspired translation of the complete Odes of Horace, one that conveys the wit, ardor and sublimity of the original with a music of all its own. The Latin poet Horace is, along with his friend Virgil, the most celebrated of the poets of the reign of the Emperor Augustus, and, with Virgil, the most influential. These marvelously constructed poems with their unswerving clarity of vision and their extraordinary range of tone and emotion have deeply affected the poetry of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Herbert, Dryden, Marvell, Pope, Samuel Johnson, Wordsworth, Frost, Larkin, Auden, and many others, in English and in other languages. This ebook edition includes only the English language translation of the Odes. As Rosanna Warren noted about Ferry's work in The Threepenny Review, "We finally have an English Horace whose rhythmical subtlety and variety do justice to the Latin poet's own inventiveness, in which emotion rises from the motion of the verse . . . To sense the achievement, one has to read the collection as a whole . . . and they can take one's breath away even as they continue breathing."
