Presents illustrated versions of well-known poems written by one of America's most renowned poets.
H.D’s writing continues to inspire generations of readers. Bringing together a number of never-before-published essays, this new collection of H.D.’s writings introduces her compelling perspectives on art, myth, and the creative process. While H.D. is best known for her elemental poetry, which draws heavily on the imagery of natural and ancient worlds, her critical writings remain a largely underexplored and unpublished part of her oeuvre. Crucial to understanding both the formative contexts surrounding her departure from Imagism following the First World War and her own remarkable creative vision, Notes on Thought and Vision, written in 1918, is one of the central works in this collection. H.D. guides her reader to the untamed shores of the Scilly Isles, where we hear of powerful, transformative experiences and of her intense relationship with the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. The accompanying essays, many published here for the first time, help color H.D.’s astute critical engagement with the past, from the city of Athens and the poetry of ancient Greece. Like Letters to a Young Painter (2017), also published in the ekphrasis series, this collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the creative process.

Spanning Chaucer's working life, these four poems build on the medieval convention of 'love visions' - poems inspired by dreams, woven into rich allegories about the rituals and emotions of courtly love. In The Book of the Duchess, the most traditional of the four, the dreamer meets a widower who has loved and lost the perfect lady, and The House of Fame describes a dream journey in which the poet meets with classical divinities. Witty, lively and playful, The Parliament of Birds details an encounter with the birds of the world in the Garden of Nature as they seek to meet their mates, while The Legend of Good Women sees Chaucer being censured by the God of Love, and seeking to make amends, for writing poems that depict unfaithful women. Together, the four create a marvellously witty, lively and humane self-portrait of the poet.
Poetry is a major element in the kaleidoscopic California scene. "(Foley) is doing great things in articulating the poetic consciousness of San Francisco.--Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

Gary Truce's poems cover a variety of subjects such as nature, personal relationships, and the cosmos. As a long-time professor of health and wellness, one might expect to see poems promoting wholesome relationships and healthy lifestyles. However, the poems' speakers are often not Truce and we read of troubled lives. Hence, the title, Voices on Visions, with Truce as poet persona playing many roles. The speakers are usually compassionate and sensitive indulging in the beauty and wonder of nature. Other speakers are lost, searching, depressed, romantic, or comic. Truce seems happiest when he communes with nature describing wildlife, landscapes, bodies of water, and an ever-changing sky. Sometimes the reader is taken beyond Earth to an exploration of the cosmic-at times with a Godly perspective with reassuring orderliness, and at other times with a human perspective filled with uncertainty, despair, folly, confusion, or amazement. Ultimately, Truce's high degree of optimism tips the balance in Visions. So, feel the crisp coolness of spring air, pour the maple syrup and melt the butter on blueberry pancakes while viewing the maple grove through the open kitchen window. As Truce writes, "And when the steam appears from the sugar shack-you know at last it's spring!"
Through poetry and story, Daydreams and Night Visions moves us through Charles Henley's transformational journey from a boy hopelessly addicted to drugs, alcohol, and the strife that accompanies addiction, to a man full of hope, love, and joy. In this book of rhymes and wisdom, we get a glimpse of an emotional state of mind we might not otherwise understand. We get a first-hand view of the conversion from and remorse for a life of sin to the daydreams and night visions that Henley experienced during and after his conversion. These visions made him acutely aware of the struggle between good and evil as demonic forces battled for the possession of his soul. This awareness helped him not only prepare for the battle but claim victory over it. This poetic look at a life of a sinner once saved is a look at faith and hope at the end of the road of despair. It's not only written for those who suffer from similar addictions, it's also written to give hope and advice to friends and relatives who feel helpless as they watch their loved ones losing the battle for their souls—if only for a season.
