A Strangely Wrapped Gift
By Emily Juniper. 2020
In A Strangely Wrapped Gift, you will find journeys from mental illness to recovery, from heartbreak to heart growth, from…
hopelessness to empowerment, and from the ocean to the stars. In these pages, Juniper takes heavy, emotional raw material and weaves it into stunning, relatable poetry you'll long to share with friends and loved ones. This collection is a reminder that broken pieces make the most beautiful mosaics, and that all of us possess the power to bloom even after a harsh winter.Glass Float
By Jane Munro. 2020
An encouraging guide for the angry or heartbroken soul, in the form of uplifting stories and quotations.Sometimes forgiveness can feel…
unfathomable, unreachable, or even just plain wrong. Inspiring Forgiveness throws wide open the doors of possibility within the human heart with the wise words of philosophers, writers, poets, and great thinkers from across centuries and continents. Each offering can serve as guideposts along the path to bringing greater forgiveness into our lives. This book also tells the stories of real-world people—from the Dalai Lama to Congressman John Lewis and more—whose lives were changed forever by forgiveness, including for themselves. Just bearing witness to these experiences can itself be transformative. One wise teacher quoted in this book, Pema Chödrön, offers a simple practice for cultivating forgiveness: &“First we acknowledge what we feel—shame, revenge, embarrassment, remorse. Then we forgive ourselves for being human. Each moment is an opportunity to make a fresh start.&” This book is a collection of those moments. Inspiring Forgiveness consists of twelve true stories of people who have endured great pain at the hands of others and have found a way to open themselves to forgiveness in its many forms. Each story is followed by extraordinary poems that speak to forgiveness as well as a collection of over 100 inspiring quotations. &“What a wonderful illumination of the power of forgiveness Barbara Bonner has given us. The book&’s unique gathering of personal stories, poems, and quotations shows that forgiveness is not a momentary feeling but an attitude toward life, a practice of deep self-healing, and a path to freedom. Inspiring Forgiveness is aptly titled, for it does more than tell us about forgiveness, it inspires us to live it.&” —John Brehm, editor of The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and JoyBehold the Lamb . . .

aspects of the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. The poems have been written over a span of thirty years. They have been inspired by Scripture as well as personal experiences like pilgrimages, setting up the crèche, baking Christmas cookies, and solemnly reflecting upon the crucifixion on Good Friday afternoon.Many of the old familiar stories presented in this way will touch you afresh. Certain poems will lift your spirit and generate deep reflection or worship; others will re-kindle memories of observances from childhood. There are poems in this book that you will bookmark to re-read from time to time and some you&’ll want to share with family and friends. You might bring a favorite or two to a church meeting or copy one and tuck it into the envelope with a Christmas or Easter card.Most of all, these poems are intended to draw the reader into desiring a deeper relationship with Our Savior, Jesus, the Holy Lamb of God.Reflections: Notes On My Journey

former dairy farmer who sincerely desires to share his love for Jesus and God's true Word, the Holy Bible, with you. It tells of our faith and experiences during our time as dairy farmers and how those two intertwined."Dedicated to glory of Jesus Christ and God&’s True Word, the Holy Bible" is Don's mission statement, and throughout all of his writings he tells how the Lord has been at his side throughout his whole life. Without His presence Don could have never done the seemingly impossible things he's done.The Sound of Many Waters
By Robert Trindade. 2019
Our beliefs determine how we behave personally, and also our lawful standards as well. Misplaced faith and worship has led…
many far from truth. God is not tolerant toward sin or the rejection of truth. His ways are not our ways, and wisdom and salvation only come through His way. Christ is the fulfilment of God's love for us and His word which is the guide.God has made Himself known to all through nature, His written word, and in the person of Christ. Our understanding and acceptance of God will determine our lives as individuals and as a society more than any other beliefs. God has set the standard for love and moral living, and when we honor Him, we will become what's needed by our fellow man. Wisdom and truth are God's, and all substitutes will not stand. Only in God should we trust.The Promises of Home
By Robert Trindade. 2020
Those who are in the family of Christ are given the promises of God. There are many things guaranteed by…
God, but His greatest gifts of love are given to those whose faith is in Him. Even for the children of God, Scripture has promised both good and bad things, but His promises of love are seen in history with fulfillment of past promises and some we're still waiting for. The written word of God is for building our faith in what He's promised, and it tells of the future we look forward to.Poems by Divine Appointment
By Dorothy Turner. 2019
Poems by Divine Appointment are poems with purpose. They were written to inspire and to stir up your spirit. You…
will find some of these poems are quite long while others are very short. Nevertheless, each poem has a message that&’s clear and get straight to the point leaving nothing to the imagination. These poems are power packed, and I hope every reader will experience the presence of God through reading these poems. Yes, Poems by Divine Appointment are mine, but they came from God&’s creative mind. Now allow me to give you a little peek inside of the book with this poem. What&’s In the SeaI&’ve seen deep in the sea,Things we are about to see.There are a lot of things in the sea,But it&’s nothing that I can&’t see.Fishermen are on the seaTrying to catch what they can&’t see.The birds of the air; the fish of the seaWill make do with what they see.Don&’t be disturbed by what you see,It&’s just the beginning of what it&’s going to be.I&’ve seen deep in the sea,Trouble stirring in the sea. Memphis, TennesseeWill soon be nothing to see.Things are stirring up in the sea,Things you are about to see.When I looked across the sea,I saw things I didn&’t want to see.I&’ve been fishing in the seaTo catch what the fishermen couldn&’t see.Who made the sea?The one you cannot see.I&’ve seen deep in the sea,Things that&’s about to be.Memphis, TennesseeIs about to be nothing to see.Praga
By Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. 2019
Llega a Poesía Portátil la faceta más personal de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán con Praga, uno de los poemarios más destacados…
de un escritor inabarcable. Manuel Vázquez Montalbán fue un hombre definitivamente polifónico en su escritura, pues su obra alberga desde la novela policiaca, con un inolvidable Pepe Carvalho, hasta ensayos sobre fútbol, libros sobre gastronomía y artículos periodísticos. Vázquez Montalbán, además, escribía versos y se sentía muy orgulloso de esta faceta, aunque sea probablemente la menos conocida de su carrera. En Praga encontramos algunos de sus versos más representativos, breves estrofas, de estilo costumbrista, que son el resultado de su compromiso con su época y el reflejo de su vida cotidiana. «o acaso no sea Praga una ciudad una sinfonía ni la Historia ni una vida ni este libro acaso sea simplemente una metáfora.»The Dolphin Letters, 1970-1979: Elizabeth Hardwick, Robert Lowell, and Their Circle
By Elizabeth Hardwick, Robert Lowell. 2019
The correspondence between one of the most famous couples of twentieth-century literatureThe Dolphin Letters offers an unprecedented portrait of Robert…
Lowell and Elizabeth Hardwick during the last seven years of Lowell’s life (1970 to 1977), a time of personal crisis and creative innovation for both writers. Centered on the letters they exchanged with each other and with other members of their circle—writers, intellectuals, friends, and publishers, including Elizabeth Bishop, Caroline Blackwood, Mary McCarthy, and Adrienne Rich—the book has the narrative sweep of a novel, telling the story of the dramatic breakup of their twenty-one-year marriage and their extraordinary, but late, reconciliation.Lowell’s controversial sonnet-sequence The Dolphin (for which he used Hardwick’s letters as a source) and his last book, Day by Day, were written during this period, as were Hardwick’s influential books Seduction and Betrayal: Essays on Women in Literature and Sleepless Nights: A Novel. Lowell and Hardwick are acutely intelligent observers of marriages, children, and friends, and of the feelings that their personal crises gave rise to.The Dolphin Letters, masterfully edited by Saskia Hamilton, is a debate about the limits of art—what occasions a work of art, what moral and artistic license artists have to make use of their lives as material, what formal innovations such debates give rise to. The crisis of Lowell’s The Dolphin was profoundly affecting to everyone surrounding him, and Bishop’s warning to Lowell—“art just isn’t worth that much”—haunts.Uni-versos silvestres
By Dani Flaco. 2019
El primer poemario de uno de los cantautores más talentosos de la actualidad. Uni-versos silvestres es un pequeño catálogo de…
momentos y sensaciones, un examen de conciencia para juzgar cada detalle que nos construye, cada experiencia; pero ante todo es una mirada íntima a lo que somos ahora, al resultado del tiempo en nuestra piel, en nuestras entrañas. Construido en dos partes, una dedicada a poemas más emocionales y otra a poemas más introspectivos, el cantautor Dani Flaco nos propone en su primer poemario un viaje al «yo» a través de las vivencias que lo modelan, una relfexión a corazón abierto sobre el paso del tiempo y el cambio emocional que supone. Con Ilustraciones originales de Riki Blanco.Poema a la duración
By Peter Handke. 2019
El libro de poemas más emblemático de Peter Handke, premio Nobel de literatura 2019. Peter Handke publicó Poema a la…
duración en 1986, el mismo año en que apareció su novela La repetición, con la que de alguna manera se relaciona. Lírico y épico a un tiempo, narrativo y filosófico, este poema largo explora la duración como algo que, a diferencia de la noción metafísica de la eternidad, se manifiesta en la irrupción súbita de algo que vuelve, arrastrándonos en el tiempo y dándonos la sensación de que en la vida humana hay una unidad interna muy fuerte y a la vez completamente desconocida. Canto a la fugacidad y al movimiento incesante de la vida, Poema a la duración es una obra maestra del género que aquí publicamos en la extraordinaria y ya clásica versión de Eustaquio Barjau. Reseñas:«Por un trabajo influyente que, con inventiva lingüística, ha explorado las periferias y la especificidadde la experiencia humana.»Jurado del Premio Nobel «Si tuviera que elegir entre toda su bibliografía, optaría por Poema a la duración. En él se encuentra condensado todo su pensamiento poético-filosófico. [...] Handke busca el instante ya no como los poetas de otros tiempos a través de objetos puros, sagrados, sino a través de los profanos, de los cotidianos, de los restos de lo que fue abolido. Handke construye su propia cosmogonía a base de los fragmentos sueltos que deja el tiempo arqueológico que es uno y todo.»César Antonio Molina, ABC «No es solo su mejor trabajo poético, sino una de las cimas de toda su carrera literaria. [...] La duración es su enseña, el distintivo de una vida a la que, durante un instante, le es concedido el don de verse perpetuada.»Luis Muñiz, La Nueva España «Tiene algo de ensayo, algo de narración, y ese "algo" distinto que constituye la originalidad de la mirada de Handke: una extrañeza a la hora de comenzar el libro que casi siempre perdura al acabarlo, pero que se queda pegada a la retina como una nueva forma de mirar.»Librería La CentralHemisferios
By Pablo Pérez Rueda. 2019
El segundo poemario de Pablo Pérez Rueda, más conocido como Blon, reflexiona sobre los matices positivos o negativos que se…
encuentran en cada sentimiento, en cada realidad. Si miras un mismo objeto desde la oscuridad o desde la luz quizá lo que tu ojo perciba se transforme de maneras inesperadas, como cuando éramos niños y un simple perchero sombrío podía convertirse en un monstruo. ¿Qué parte de la realidad es objetiva y qué parte depende de la mirada con la que la apreciamos, de lo sombrío o lo luminoso que sea el espacio que la rodea? Pablo Pérez Rueda, más conocido como Blon, consolida su voz en este segundo poemario, que habla sobre lo relativo, o más bien sobre las múltiples visiones que el ser humano puede tener acerca de un mismo concepto y que, sorprendentemente, viajan desde un extremo al otro, haciendo que una cosa pueda contener en sí misma significados inversos.No está todo perdido; todavía nos queda cerveza, poesía y sexo

By Sylvia Plath. 2019
Sylvia Plath, una de las grandes poetas del siglo XX, llega a la colección «Poesía Portátil». Sylvia Plath es una…
de las poetas más admiradas del siglo XX. Sus versos, que a lo largo de los años han ido cobrando protagonismo especialmente después de que se quitara la vida a los treinta años, son un intento de expresar su desesperación y su obsesión por la muerte. Sus poemas se pueden considerar en gran parte autobiográficos y exploran su angustia mental, su problemático matrimonio con el también poeta Ted Hughes y los conflictos sin resolver con sus padres, así como la visión que tenía de ella misma. Tanto ella como su obra se ha ido perfilando hasta el día de hoy como uno de los grandes iconos del feminismo, y su poesía -en especial El coloso y el póstumo Ariel-, como objetos adorados, valiosas pruebas de que Sylvia Plath fue una de las grandes figuras de la literatura del pasado siglo. Después de más de cincuenta años de ser escritos, sus versos todavía contienen toda su intensidad, todo su dolor y toda su belleza. -------«Entonces el cielo y yo conversamos abiertamente.Y seguro que seré más útil cuando al fin me tienda para siempre:entonces quizá los árboles me toquen por una vezy las flores, finalmente, tengan tiempo para mí.»-------We Inherit What the Fires Left: Poems
By William Evans. 2020
William Evans, the award-winning poet and cofounder of the popular culture website Black Nerd Problems, offers an emotionally vulnerable poetry…
collection exploring the themes of inheritances, dreams, and injuries that are passed down from one generation to the next and delving into the lived experience of a black man in the American suburbs today.In We Inherit What the Fires Left, award-winning poet William Evans embarks on a powerful new collection that explores the lived experience of race in the American suburbs and what dreams and injuries are passed from generation to generation. Fall under the spell of Evans&’s boldly intimate, wise, and emotionally candid voice in these urgent, electrifying poems. This eloquent collection explores not only what these inheritances are composed of, but what price the bearer must pay for such legacies, and the costly tolls exacted on both body and spirit. Evans writes searingly from the perspective of the marginalized, delivering an unflinching examination of what it is like to be a black man raising a daughter in predominantly white spaces, and the struggle to build a home and a future while carrying the weight of the past. However, in beautiful and quiet scenes of domesticity with his daughter or in thoughtful reflection within himself, Evans offers words of hope to readers, proving that resilience can ultimately bloom even in the face of prejudice. Readers of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Hanif Abdurraqib will find a brilliant, fresh new talent to add to their lists in William Evans.Burning Province
By Michael Prior. 2020
Acerbic, moving, and formally astonishing, Michael Prior's second collection explores the enduring impact of the Japanese internment upon his family…
legacy and his mixed-race identity.Amid the record-breaking wildfires that scorched British Columbia in 2015 and 2017, the poems in this collection move seamlessly between geographical and psychological landscapes, grappling with cultural trauma and mapping out complex topographies of grief, love, and inheritance: those places in time marked by generational memory "when echo crosses echo." Burning Province is an elegy for a home aflame and for grandparents who had a complex relationship to it--but it is also a vivid appreciation of mono no aware: the beauty and impermanence of all living things. "The fireflies stutter like an apology," Prior writes; "I would be lying to you / if I didn't admit I love them."What Hurts Going Down
By Nancy Lee. 2020
A searing exploration of girlhood in the pre- and post- #MeToo eras from the acclaimed novelist.What keeps a kind girl…
alive in the wild? The men in town are crapshoots, sawbucks, coins striking heads and tails. Nancy Lee's searing collection of poems confronts how socially ingrained violence and sexual power dynamics distort and dislocate girlhood, womanhood, and relationships. Startling and visceral, the poems in What Hurts Going Down deconstruct a lifetime of survival, hover in the uneasy territory of pre- and post- #MeToo, and scrutinize the changing wagers of being female.Canções do coração: Poemas de gratidão e bem-aventurança
