Here are fifty-two lessons for a full year of study and contemplation, each using an ordinary, everyday object to demonstrate God's truth about the world in which we live.You may see things quite differently after reading these lessons about mousetraps, maple syrup, credit cards and perfume. A bowl of fruit might never look the same to you, and pears might never taste the same again.Taught in a simple conversational style, each lesson is accom...

This book examines the uses of myth and symbol in Lowry and Mann's major works and finds some remarkable similarities that exist because of structural tradition. Both authors are consciously and unconsciously continuing a tradition that can be traced to the beginning of literature in the Western world.

Trump, Sanders, Corbyn, Farage, Brexit. 2016 saw 'democratic' decisions which shook the world. Contradictory and unexpected decisions. I see it as the sign of an antiquated system in desperate need of an overhaul to bring it into the 21st century. These disparate decisions are to me indicators of a system which lacks nuance and doesn't allow us to express ourselves other than in binary terms. Red vs blue, in vs out, him vs her. The complexity ...

A book of poetry by Jim Barnes.

Many of the poems are set in a recognizable epoch, those years of World War II, on the home front, and after. Notable in these poems is a high sense of loss that has been rendered tenable by the kind of lyric narrative that Yeats knew so well. The poet affirms for us the passing of the many things we never really held, though we may have thought we did. These poems are not talking poems. They sing. They chant. They leave indelible tracks acros...

Jim Barnes's familiarity with the European poetic traditions has been deepened through long periods spent in France, Germany, and Italy, and through his translations of European poetry. In Visiting Picasso he repays Europe for its gifts to him in a series of poems that evoke the lush poetic history that ties European culture together, sometimes darkly. A heightened sense of place and purpose infuses the poems of Visiting Picasso with meaning d...

Yet he speaks eloquently here of his attachment to his "native ground, " the Choctaw region in Oklah...

Instead, the persona gains strength from it. What has come to be his signature in four earlier books of poetry and remains his mark ...
