These passionate verses were published in Paris in 1894 as the lost works of a disciple of Sappho. Between their open celebration of lesbian love and the eventual revelation of their true authorship—the verses actually were written by French novelist and poet Pierre Louÿs—they became a succès de scandale. Although debunked as a work of antiquity, The Songs of Bilitis remains a classic of erotic literature.More than 160 sensual illustrations by the famed...

"Hafiz has no peer." — GoethePoetry is the greatest literary form of ancient Persia and modern Iran, and the fourteenth-century poet known as Hafiz is its preeminent master. Little is known about the poet's life, and there are more legends than facts relating to the particulars of his existence. This mythic quality is entirely appropriate for the man known as «The Interpreter of Mysteries» and «The Tongue of the Hidden,» whose verse is regarded as oracular by those seeking...

Although Baudelaire died in obscurity, today he is recognized as one of the nineteenth century's greatest and most influential poets, whose works were ahead of their time. This unique collection captures the fevered...

"The Evil We All Feel" is more than just poetry, it is more than just journal writings. It is more than just a book. It is a cry for help. A plea, a prayer, a message. It might not be for you. As it is searching for truth. It is filled with words of hope, wisdom and love but equally filled with words of despair, anguish and frustration. It is contradictory as it is a reflection of our everyday society, vague with imagery and straightforward with quotes. Right to the point, this self-help...

In response to Ralph Waldo Emerson's call for the United States to have its own unique poet, Walt Whitman rose to the challenge to create what would ultimately be his most profound work. Taking its title from the colloquial term «grass», meaning a work of minor value, Whitman's «Leaves of Grass» is anything but that. Over his lifetime Whitman would continue to expand and revise his most famous book up until his death in 1892. Here in this volume we have reproduced the last edition,...

D. H. Lawrence was an English writer who, unfortunately, only truly became accepted as a literary genius after his death in 1930. While he was best known for his novels and short stories like «Lady Chatterly's Lover,» «Sons and Lovers,» and «The Captain's Doll,» Lawrence was also an adept poet who wrote over 800 poems during his lifetime. At the beginning of his career, his poems were infused with pathetic fallacy and continual personification of flora and fauna. Like many of the...

As a Victorian poet, Roman Catholic convert, and Jesuit priest, Hopkins pioneered a revolutionary form of meter he termed “sprung rhythm” in his first major work, “The Wreck of the Deutschland.” This poem, like most of Hopkins’ work, reflects both his belief in the doctrine that human beings were created to praise God as well as...

When you are in the midst of toxicity you are in a cloud of haze. My rock bottom nearly killed me. To this day if I told you what I experienced you would say it was a horror sci-fi movie. I was externally attacked. Everything that was done to me was done in the dark and hidden. I survived because at the core of me I knew who I was and what I stand for …which is peace, love, acceptance, freedom. There was no quick fix, this was a daily conscious effort on my part. My Poetic thoughts are about my...

In this, Julie Hanson’s second award-winning book, the poems inscribe deep stillness on a world of harmonies in motion. Whether composed on modern objects, say a vacuum—"part pet, part sculpture/sprawled awkwardly, still shrieking”—that evokes a sudden onrush of sobbing, or the notional movement between a plastic bag, a lawn and a return from a France not yet visited, these poems circulate among the senses as moments that pass and are recalled. Hanson’s poems investigate interiority as they...
