Reverse Graffiti is a spiritual pilgrimage into the heart of the journey home to the soul. Poetic. Illuminating. Vulnerable. Gritty. Authentic. A refreshingly honest and provocative expression of the spiritual path sourced from the rawness of our shared human experience. Weaving an inspiring tapestry of self examination and poetic dharma, Reverse Graffiti takes its listeners on a deep dive into the many layers we traverse on the transformative journey home to ourselves.

On the Quiver of Mystery: Pastoral Poems in Four Quarter Time is a collection of original pastoral poems written during the four seasons of a single year at Gonzaga Eastern Point Retreat House in Gloucester, Ma. Each seeks to reveal a fragment of the mystery of the Divine in creation, Scripture, and faith from Autumn 2019 and through the pandemic of 2020. For the listener who loves language and who knows that “there lives the dearest freshness deep down things” and for those whose hearts have been pierced by the Divine Marksman, this collection of poetry is a must-listen.

Code of conduct. Good qualities in me you will find as you explore my body….and my mind. Should you like what you see, then tell it to others…. Sing praises of me In halls and corridors. But if faults are what you see in me, please, my love…tell it first to me.

Struggling with mental health issues can be lonely. The world, to the sufferer, is not bright and vibrant, but rather dark and bleak. We long to see the beauty, but it is difficult to navigate the caverns of depression. The light is always seen, but is just out of reach.

Lit Soul: My Journey Back to Faith is a collection of poetry written in four sections about love, loss, finding your place in the world, and coming back to what you can’t see, which is faith. It’s an honest telling of poet Jessi’s life from the age of six years old to the present day. It’s having faith again and growing it stronger through each section. It’s a place to find that we aren’t so different after all.

I wrote this anthology over a period of 11 years on and off. This book is borne from an encouragement and cheer ministry I have on the job plus the special gift I have in writing Christian poetry. I have been writing and reading verses and poems to cheer the sick I care for. I added a Bible verse each time, and both were received well and created joy in their hearts.

In a powerfully intimate and non-traditional (or "new-fashioned") memoir, Kwame Alexander shares snapshots of a man learning how to love. He takes us through stories of his parents: from being awkward newlyweds in the sticky Chicago summer of 1967, to the sometimes-confusing ways they showed their love to each other, and for him. He explores his own relationships—his difficulties as a newly wedded, 22-year-old father, and the precariousness of his early marriage working in a jazz club with his second wife.

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Enlightenment, a Day I Long to See and to hear a poem towards world peace.

Journal of poetry about the closeness with Christ.

Have you ever felt lost, confused, or like you couldn’t trust yourself to make a good decision?

Because listening to this poetry will connect you to those lost parts of yourself you think no one else sees. The parts that you wonder if they are healed or not. Don’t you want to know? Invest in Poems from a Lost Soul to find out.

A Gentle Kiss from God is the culmination of a life punctuated with roadblocks, depression, mental abuse, and post-abuse fallout; a life that finds comfort and hope in a deep trust in God; a creative young woman who seeks expression through her Christian faith from early childhood and her love of writing. The result? A book of thoughts and passions that comes together in the pulse of poetry and song, hope and beauty. Despite her own life that had despaired for love and harmony, her writings erupt into hope and comfort, strength, beauty, and a joie de vivre!

This is the 16th book in a series entitled Limericks for Meditation by Christopher Molling. These 100 poems are intended to explore the social, spiritual, and personal worlds.

A sublime book of 31 poems written by Frater Achad. This edition has been fully and completely digitally remastered to be as close to the now out-of-print original. It is a loving work of art dedicated to the memory of the author. Frater Achad was an occultist and ceremonial magician. An early aspirant to AA (the 20th to be admitted as a Probationer in December 1909) who "claimed" the grade of Magister Templi as a Neophyte, he also became an OTO initiate. He worked under a variety of mottos and pseudonyms, but he is best known under his Neophyte motto Achad (Hebrew "unity", אחד).

Take a look at the internal workings of the mind of poet and song writer Liam Browne. He lays his soul bare in so much of his work, and this collection of poems and songs from his electrifying book Dealer to Healer is no different. Themes of love, depression, loss, growth, violence, and lust are all explored in a volatile and, at times, erratic way. He also shares the lyrics from his album Forget & Remember—songs from which have been played on BBC6 Music. Liam makes words dance—so take a dive and experience a unique vision.

These are the poems that oozed out of the poet's experience and perception looking at people and the world around him. Most of the poems are on the themes of love, life, and liberty. They cover a decade-long time period in the Himalayan country of Nepal that was affected by the People's War. All poems carry emotions, human sentiments, and remnants of war, poverty, and loss of lives. Brilliant poetry, strong images, and very poetic!

A cryptic journey of puzzle pieces of life smashed together with elegant space and description of many worlds from now into the future.

A chapbook of poetry, written over two decades, about growth and taking ownership of one's own thoughts and actions. Themes center around lost loves, lost faith, but gaining perspective.

c a r v e d, Kate Mapother's first collection of poetry, explores life and loss in its varied dimensions. At once gut-wrenching and hopeful, these poems take the listener by the hand and heart through themes of sexuality, God, love, grief, and family. The writing is rich in imagery and substance, leaving no doubt in the listener's mind about Mapother's ability to plumb the depths of hard emotion, then land you somewhere soft. These poems don't pretend to know. They simply witness.
