Angels are undeniably associated with religion and more usually Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Often they are seen as supernatural beings, benevolent celestial intermediaries interposed between God, Heaven and humanity. Obviously there are complications, a fact that our classic poets through the centuries, including Alexander Pope, Edmund Spenser, Radclyffe Hall and Hafiz, use as they write verse to explain, to reveal and to help us understand exactly why Angels are so prevalent amongst our thoughts.

It is fitting that the debut of Jimmy Cost – the New Mexican outlaw poet, singer and songwriter – is a memoir. A book of spontaneously fine-tuned ballads that reflect the many relationships of the multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic artist. First Thing on the Road is rooted in the connection of energies through lost love, the acceptance of unrequited love and realizing the truth in “true” love.

From award-winning writer and poet Chris McClelland comes a chapbook of strong philosophical and spiritual-oriented poems, meditative and spanning the ancient religious sites of the Yucatan, the ghost-filled streets of Paris, and the verdant countryside of Ireland dotted with medieval castles.

Like the Tarot or the I Ching, Soul Seeds can be used as an interactive oracular tool by posing a question, then listening to the book to see what fresh insight may be gleaned. As Laura Huxley says in her Foreword, "Not only are you reading richly imagined poetry, but if you apply any of these 'soul seeds' you will have a deep awakening..." Experience these 'soul seeds' as psycho-spiritual meditations and they may bring about a transformation greater than many hours of therapy.

Let these poems remind you of the strength and power of prayer. You will find verses reflecting on the bond that prayer gives us with God. Prayer can be defined as talking with God.

Please be inspired by these poems about God, the verses that consider God and His authority. Please share these poems with your friends, family, and colleagues, plus anyone who may have misgivings or is questioning the truth that there is a God.

The Five Quintets is both poetry and cultural history. It offers a sustained reflection on modernity—people and movements—in poetic meter. Just as Dante, in his Divine Comedy, summed up the Middle Ages on the cusp of modernity, The Five Quintets takes stock of a late modern world on the cusp of the first-ever global century. Celebrated Irish poet Micheal O’Siadhail structures his Quintets to echo the Comedy. Where Dante had a tripartite structure, O’Siadhail has a five-part structure, with each quintet devoted to a discipline—the arts; economics; politics; science; and philosophy and theology.

Words can be a way to unlock our feelings. Poetry allows us to be in touch with our emotions and helps us unlock and explore our vulnerability. You'll Never Walk Alone is a collection of the kind of inspirational texts—mainly poems—that can accompany us, whatever we are feeling, from sorrow to delight. The texts are not just about words which can console us or comfort us—though they often do this too. Rather these are poems that allow us to enjoy a full range of emotions. 

Aster of Ceremonies asks what rites we need now and how poetry, astir in the asters, can help them along. What is the relationship between fleeing and feeling? How can the voices of those who came before—and the stutters that leaven those voices—carry into our present moment, mingling with our own? When Ellis writes, “Bring me the stolen will / Bring me the stolen well,” his voice is a conduit, his “me” is many.
