Imprisoned in Franco's jails, Miguel Hernandez died from untreated TB in 1942 at the age of 31. His passionate and bittersweet work is a dazzling reminder that force can never defeat spirit. Bilingual edition with testaments by Lorca, Neruda and other leading poets, and a comprehensive illustrated introduction by Willis Barnstone.
Ten Poems to Open Your Heart is a book devoted to love: to the intimacy of personal love and lovemaking, to a loving compassion for others, and to the love that embraces both this world and the next. This new volume from Roger Housden features a few of the same poets as his extraordinarily moving Ten Poems to Change Your Life, such as Mary Oliver and Pablo Neruda, along with contributions from Sharon Olds, Wislawa Szymborska, Czeslaw Milosz, Denise Levertov, and others. Any one of the ten poems and, indeed, any one of Housden’s reflections on them, can open, gladden, or pierce your heart. Through the voices of these ten inspiring poets, and through illustrations from his own life, Housden expresses the tenderness, beauty, joys, and sorrows of love, the presence of which, more than anything else, gives human existence its meaning. As Housden says in his eloquent introduction, “Great poetry happens when the mind is looking the other way and words fall from the sky to shape a moment that would normally be untranslatable. . . . When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.” From the Hardcover edition.
Selected Heart Poems accompanies Love Chronicles (my first poetry collection) as a selection of poems about love, spirituality, and journeys. The verse that has been collected here communicates more experiences of romance and the web of emotions that stem from complex feelings for another person. It also explores how we feel love for our children and our unconditional bond with them. On a spiritual level, there is a relationship between the self and the recognition that our lives are constantly changing yet finding reassurance that we can come to terms with this through understanding several Buddhist concepts. The key, perhaps most profoundly, is that of the connection between our happiness and the happiness of everyone else. There are collected poems that are connected with past travels across Europe and the Middle East and throughout my time in South America. The attempt here is to paint a vast canvas with my encounters of cultures and people, their customs and beliefs, backdrops to unbelievable meteorology and breathtaking scenery. With this in mind, it is possible to recall the excitement of the past and still move forward with extended belief and profound faith. Simplified, my poems are illustrations of my perceptions toward the world according to my personal experiences of love. This includes my fondness of travel, my interest in people, my love of the arts and also the magic language of dreams and how they interpret into daily life. Primarily, my love poems are passionate and filled with intrigue and sensuality; they themselves narrate stories rich in romance and emotions connected with the heart.

This collection of timeless poetry celebrates the eternal spiritual truth within each heart. Since ancient times, this hidden essence has been symbolized by the number 108. There are 108 earthly desires, 108 human feelings, 108 delusions, 108 beads in the traditional meditation mala, and 108 sacred poems in this anthology. Filled with crystalline wisdom from the great poets, sages, saints, and mystics, this selection of poems is a collective expression of universal heart-filled wisdom. The poems span a wide range of cultures and civilizations — from India to Europe, Japan, and the Middle East — and each one offers a unique perspective about the path to awakening. Some of the poems express belief in a higher being. Some convey instantaneous awakening. Others lead the reader down a disciplined path of contemplation. Ordered according to a broad interpretation of the heart-centered chakra model, these remarkable poems guide the reader toward realization and offer timeless jewels of insight to spark awakening and enrich spiritual practice.
For this companion to her New York Times best-selling collection A Family of Poems, Caroline Kennedy has hand-selected more than a hundred of her favorite poems that lend themselves to memorization. Some are joyful. Some are sad. Some are funny and lighthearted. Many offer layers of meaning that reveal themselves only after the poem has been studied so closely as to be learned by heart. In issuing the challenge to memorize great poetry, Caroline Kennedy invites us to a deeply enriching experience. For as she reminds us, “If we learn poems by heart, not only do we have their wisdom to draw on, we also gain confidence, knowledge and understanding that no one can take away.” Illustrated with gorgeous, original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J Muth , this is truly a book for all ages, and one that families will share again and again. Caroline’s thoughtful introductions shed light on the many ways we can appreciate poetry, and the special tradition of memorizing and reciting poetry that she celebrates within her own family.
