Book Description
Excerpt from Whisperings From the Hillside It is not necessary now to apologise for the appearance of a volume of poems by one from the humbler ranks of life. Ploughboy and shepherd have long ere now proved their right, and have stood side by side with, if not far above, the more favoured of fortune who have cultivated the muses. The occupation of the shepherd seems peculiarly favourable to that converse with nature in her various moods which, in a contemplative mind, leads to the cultivation of the poetic faculty. Whether in the present case the productions of our shepherd's muse have attained to such a standard as to justify their appearance before the public in a printed volume, must now be left to that public to decide. Of this, meantime, we are sure, that their merit is such as to repay the trouble of the large circle of friends who desired, by their publication, to possess them in a permanent form. Robert Stirling Inglis was born in the year 1835, near the head of Gala Water, in the parish of Heriot, and county of Midlothian. When about two years old, his parents removed to Outterstone, in the parish of Temple, where his father was engaged as shepherd. Here, in the neighbourhood of the Moorfoot Hills, his childhood was passed, and his schooling he got at Temple. The child of a poor shepherd, however, in those days, did not as a rule get even a fair chance at a country school.

Book Description
Angela Voras­-Hills’s Louder Birds, her debut collection of poetry, is a beautiful study of the natural world, motherhood, and the inherent desire for meaning. This collection of complex lyric poems holds a haunting absence at its center, an absence that is “impossible to navigate.” Yet Voras-Hills presses on, untangling the distinctions that surround her (human and animal, domestic and wild) with both bravery and respect. She writes, “The boundaries between home and the road / are insecure: it’s impossible to navigate this landscape. / We’ve all been in the presence of something dark / and have chosen not to seek shelter.” As the poet hones in on naming the void, her surroundings grow more threatening—but not once does she surrender or turn back. Voras-Hills’s poems are smart enough to know the distinctions themselves are tenuous at best, and wise enough to know that we must always pay our dues to the world beyond our door. Wondrous, ruminative, and revelatory, Louder Birds is a collection that is not to be missed.

Book Description
The gift of love is the most beautiful gift, Even bestowed on man, Capture it, and share it, Just as much as you can! Do not be careless with Gods gift, This beautiful gift of love, It is delicate, tender, And as gentle as a dove! Doris Shields lives life one day at a time, with help from God who keeps her life in rhyme. In her first collection of poetry, Shields shares inspirational reflections that highlight the joys and sorrows that surround a beautiful world and praise the awesomeness of a loving and kind heavenly Father. Through gentle rhythms and vivid imagery, Shields brings to life everyday joys, hurts, and fears that touchingly reflect on the comforting nature of Gods presence, the power of unconditional love, the value of time, and the resilience of the human spirit. As she moves from one relatable topic to another, Shields offers a positive message of hope while encouraging a closer relationship with the Lord. Sharing Myself in Poetry offers a glimpse into a faithful womans life as she explores the strength of Gods keeping power, reminds all of us to never surrender to lifes greatest challenges, and embraces the joys found in every moment.

Book Description
Poet of Christ: Whispers of Flowers is a book of poems of utter devotion to the Father, to Saint Mary, and to Jesus. Although these poems discuss many subjects—prayers for a sick friend, appreciation of nature, a celebration of Stevie Wonder, utter respect for many different faiths—the layered images of flowers, jewels, light, and vibrant colors woven throughout create a cohesion within the manuscript and add a depth of physical detail. This book is meant to lift the reader with beauty and a passion for the Word.
