The Way of the Rose
Author: Clark Strand
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0812988957
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.

Book Description
An island-wide conspiracy. A community of corruption. And a wretched, vengeful sky. In a desperate bid to escape the imminent danger lurking at home, Hana and Logan embark on a journey to the tranquil shores of Rarotonga. But what was meant to be a peaceful retreat quickly turns into a nightmare beyond their wildest imaginations. Injured and vulnerable, Hana should have sought solace on the sun-kissed beaches. That was the point, after all, to forget the nightmare still waiting for her at home. But as she struggles to navigate her new reality, a sinister web begins to unravel around her, and it has her in its sights. And the Du Roses find themselves marched from the local supermarket and slung into jail. This and the disappearance of her neighbour leaves Hana questioning the true nature of the paradise she thought she’d found. And adding to her growing unease, the resort owner’s weird obsession with her makes his wife into a jealous and formidable adversary. Beneath a furious sky, Cyclone Angela arrives to play her destructive game with the island community. But her icy talons peel away more than just wood and metal. She exposes a sinister operation and reveals a woman held captive in plain sight. For something is truly rotten on the island of Rarotonga. In this heart-pounding conclusion to Du Rose Blaze, Hana's quest for healing transforms into a desperate fight for her life. She has only five days to expose the truth hidden within the cyclone's eye and escape the clutches of a sickening conspiracy. Prepare to hold your breath as Hana races against time, unlocking a world of secrets where paradise and peril collide.

W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, and the Poetry of Paradise
Author: Sean Pryor
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317000757
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Emphasizing the interplay of aesthetic forms and religious modes, Sean Pryor's ambitious study takes up the endlessly reiterated longing for paradise that features throughout the works of W. B. Yeats and Ezra Pound. Yeats and Pound define poetry in terms of paradise and paradise in terms of poetry, Pryor suggests, and these complex interconnections fundamentally shape the development of their art. Even as he maps the shared influences and intellectual interests of Yeats and Pound, and highlights those moments when their poetic theories converge, Pryor's discussion of their poems' profound formal and conceptual differences uncovers the distinctive ways each writer imagines the divine, the good, the beautiful, or the satisfaction of desire. Throughout his study, Pryor argues that Yeats and Pound reconceive the quest for paradise as a quest for a new kind of poetry, a journey that Pryor traces by analysing unpublished manuscript drafts and newly published drafts that have received little attention. For Yeats and Pound, the journey towards a paradisal poetic becomes a never-ending quest, at once self-defeating and self-fulfilling - a formulation that has implications not only for the work of these two poets but for the study of modernist literature.

Dante's Paradise
Author: Dante Alighieri
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 9780253316196
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
The Paradise, which Dante called the sublime canticle, is perhaps the most ambitious book of The Divine Comedy. In this climactic segment, Dante's pilgrim reaches Paradise and encounters the Divine Will. The poet's mystical interpretation of the religious life is a complex and exquisite conclusion to his magnificent trilogy. Mark Musa's powerful and sensitive translation preserves the intricacy of the work while rendering it in clear, rhythmic English. His extensive notes and introductions to each canto make accessible to all readers the diverse and often abstruse ingredients of Dante's unparalleled vision of the Absolute: elements of Ptolemaic astronomy, medieval astrology and science, theological dogma, and the poet's own personal experiences.
