Storm Toward Morning

Malachi Black

Storm Toward Morning

"To be both visionary and accurate, true to physics and metaphysics at the same time, is rare and puts the poet in some rarefied company. Black, like a few other younger poets, is willing to include all the traditional effects of the lyric poem in his work, but he has set them going in new and lively ways, with the confidence of virtuosity and a belief in the ancient pleasures of pattern and repetition."—Mark Jarman, American Poet Lush and daring, Malachi Black's poems in ...

Still Pilgrim

Angela Alaimo O'Donnell

Still Pilgrim

Still Pilgrim is a collection of poems that chronicles the universal journey of life as seen through the eyes of a keenly-observant friend and fellow traveler. The reader accompanies the Still Pilgrim as she navigates the experiences that constitute her private history yet also serve to remind us of our own moments of enlightenment, epiphany, and encounter with mystery. Each of the 58 poems of the collection marks a way station along the pilgrimage, a kind of holy well where the Pilgrim and...

Originally published in “Reedy’s Mirror” from May 29, 1914 until January 5, 1915 and then first in book form in 1915 with an expanded edition in 1916, “Spoon River Anthology” is a collection of poetry inspired by the tombstones of the dead in a small rural American town.

Edgar Lee Masters

Spoon River Anthology

In Spoon River Anthology, the American poet Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950) created a series of compelling free-verse monologues in which former citizens of a mythical Midwestern town speak touchingly from the grave of the thwarted hopes and dream of their lives. First published in book form in 1915, the Anthology was the crowning achievement of Masters' career as a poet, and a work that would become a landmark of 20th-century American literature. In these pages, no less than 214...

Together this collection reads like a novel exposing the fallacy in the idea of the rural American utopia....

He writes his poetry to capture events each day in the way that some people keep a diary, both deeply personal and reflective.

Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics

Published under the pseudonym, Clive Hamilton, Spirits in Bondage was C. S. Lewis' first book, released in 1919. Most of the poems appear to have been written between 1915 and 1918, a period during which Lewis was a student under W. T. Kirkpatrick, a military trainee at Oxford, and a soldier serving in the trenches of World War I. Their outlook varies from Romantic expressions of love for the beauty and simplicity of nature to cynical statements about the presence of evil in this world.

Speculative Music

Jeff Dolven

Speculative Music

Jeff Dolven’s poems take the guise of fables, parables, allegories, jokes, riddles, and other familiar forms. So, there is an initial comfort: I remember this, the reader thinks, from the stories of childhood . . . . But wait, something is off. In each poem, an uncanny conceit surprises the form, a highway paved with highwaymen, a school for shame, a family of chairs. Dolven makes these strange wagers with the grace and edgy precision of a metaphysical poet, and there are moments when...

Sown at the seams with wildflowers

This book offers to hold your hand when the world goes dark. It speaks from the silence, of a way back home to the luminescent light of the soul. Containing promises she felt from heaven, and transcribed from the stars. Words gathered by moonlight, and whispered on to the page. This is a book for anybody who wishes to be touched by the power of prayer, the grace of forgiveness and the insurmountable joy of falling, deeply, wildly, in love.
