Book Description
This 1999 book offers an original study of lyric form and social custom in the Elizabethan age. Ilona Bell explores the tendency of Elizabethan love poems not only to represent an amorous thought, but to conduct the courtship itself. Where studies have focused on courtiership, patronage and preferment at court, her focus is on love poetry, amorous courtship, and relations between Elizabethan men and women. The book examines the ways in which the tropes and rhetoric of love poetry were used to court Elizabethan women (not only at court and in the great houses, but in society at large) and how the women responded to being wooed, in prose, poetry and speech. Bringing together canonical male poets and women writers, Ilona Bell investigates a range of texts addressed to, written by, read, heard or transformed by Elizabethan women, and charts the beginnings of a female lyric tradition.

Book Description
Twilight ... A star seems to slip secretly over the mountain. A river sings a new song of never-before and always. You look into the eye of a deer and see the whole forest, a star on each tree. It could be morning. It could be night. The push is over. At last you remember whose you are.
Poems of Love & Life

Pages : 123
Book Description
True love is real… Once upon a time, two youngsters, Joseph & Lidia, five years apart in age, met on a bus ride to a public speaking contest. They began talking about life, goals, dreams, poetry and more. Over time, their conversations grew into a strong friendship, despite their age difference. Years passed, and one day they were blessed with realization that they had found their soulmates, and they got engaged to be married when Joseph graduated college. At the time of their engagement, they had not yet kissed, or even held hands for the first time. One year later, on the day of his graduation, two best friends and soulmates were married, and they never stopped courting. Over the years, for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and valentine’s day, or to celebrate personal moments, Joseph, would write rhymed and metered love poems and life poems to his beautiful bride. The collection of poetry became a memoir, a window into their courtship over the years. As we approach our fiftieth wedding anniversary, we have gathered this collection into this book, Poems of Love & Life: Our Courtship in Rhyme, and we are happy to share it with you, the reader. If it happened to us, it can happen to you, at any time and at any age.
