Love, Remember
Author: Malcolm GuitePublisher: Canterbury Press
ISBN: 1786220016
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
The bestselling poet Malcolm Guite chooses forty poems from across the centuries that express the universal experience of loss and reflects on them in order to draw out the comfort, understanding and hope they offer. Some of the poems will be familiar, many will be new, but together they provide a sure companion for the journey across difficult terrain. Some of Malcolm’s own poetry is included, written out of his work as a priest with the dying and the bereaved and giving to the volume a powerful authenticity. The choice of forty poems is significant and reflects an ancient practice still observed in some European and Middle Eastern societies of taking extra-special care of a bereaved person in the forty days following a death – our word quarantine come from this. They explore the nature and the risk of love, the pain of letting go and look toward glimpses of resurrection.
Fifty More Sonnets on Love, Life, Death, Rebirth, Honor, Humor and MORE

Pages : 68
Book Description
This collection represents efforts to persuade any reader that the sonnet does not have to be a form impossible to emulate nor too difficult to understand. It should be looked upon as a challenge to fit a universe of emotions into a particular framework simple in its limitations but as complex in its potential as the great writers before had made them through the brilliance of their individual genius.Themes are as different as the experiences of the writer from day to day from birth to death and all the time in between. The language need not be lofty nor does it need to reach down to the vulgar. It can borrow from the past and delve into that of the future. It can keep the rhyme schemes of those who made them famous, or it may create new ones for any reason or none at all.If sonnets are not worth reading, they would never have been made.

LOVE SONNETS: On the Threshold of Life, Death and Rebirth
Author: Larry LynnPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0557824257
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Sonnets are fourteen lines with iambic pentameter rhythm. Outside of that, anything goes. Some self-imposed limitations could prevail, but I choose to let the reader listen to the voice rather than just to hear the sound, feel the rhythm rather than count the beat, and see the message rather than analyze the form. So, enjoy the picture and not the frame -- after all, a poem by any other name . . .
