Our experiences in life could teach us various lessons - may it be getting out of addiction, accepting one's self, embracing one's inner child, being alone and peaceful, falling in love, getting wounded a thousand times but coming out stronger, and other messages from life's intricacies....

Although his output was small, John of the Cross (1542 - 1591) is considered one of the most important figures in Spanish poetry. All his verses explore the same theme: the search of the soul for union with its creator and the glory of the resulting "mystical marriage". This selection of 20 poems opens with his most famous poem, "The Obscure Night of the Soul" and concludes with a free translation of "Psalm 137 (By the Waters of Babylon)".

An idiomatic poetry book; a fine piece of literary art. The contents of this audiobook can cause nuanced or monumental changes! In this tapestry of poems, there is a thread that always becomes visible: music. Music is a dear friend and companion and has not only made its way into the recordings, but also makes natural appearances within the verses. These poems, as you will see, freely lend to the performing arts.

In The Divine Kiss, Carolyn Mary Kleefeld expresses in poems and paintings the sacred merging of love into the sacred Beloved. Each poem is paired with a resonant painting, infusing the listener viscerally with the infinite love shared between Carolyn and her beloved David Campagna.

Face of Transformation is a collection of poetry intended to inspire individuals to keep the faith even when the path you are walking on seems dark, continue to pull strength from within to continue to chase after God. I believe that words are powerful and can help encourage individuals. It is important to me as a creative writer to paint a picture with words for the enjoyment of my listeners. I hope you as the listener will always be encouraged to continue striving towards your goals.

This book of poems is the fruit of many years of struggle and difficulties. It is the beginning of seeing life lived from a deeper place of singleness of heart, life in union with Christ. "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, (simple, single) your whole body will be full of light." (Matthew 6:22)

Gateway to More of Him was written for the hungry heart and for those who want God’s word to come alive and are crying out for a deeper walk with him. Centered around his word, these poems tell a story of our need for more of him. Always challenging our hearts not to be lukewarm and our hands to keep them tight on the plow, not looking back. Realizing God’s plan for every believer is to be conformed to the image of his son.

I hope that I can encourage you to tear down your walls and allow God to use your hidden gifts and talents to bless others. I call these gifts and talents "hidden treasures". They are unused gifts given by divine intervention. I believe we all have them within our hearts. We just simply need to reach down inside ourselves and find them, and then, allow God to help us reach out and share them with others. This is God's purpose and will for our lives. God created us for relationship and he has set in motion a plan to bless men and women through other men and women.

Poet, mentor, and Berea College professor, Libby Jones once told me that everything I write is an ode. The collection of odes that makes up this chapbook has a variety of themes with a common element: mysticism. According to the Friends of Abrams Creek website, the Cherokees believed that the soul entered the afterlife by passing through the waterfall. My intent in this themed chapbook is to bring my listeners closer to the mystery the poet knows.

Life is like poetry. It has many styles, messages, and dimensions. Poetry, like life, can be happy, sad, serious, comical, etc. Like life, poetry is action, motion, and movement. Time never stands still. Every second of our day is moving toward a predestined journey. This journey is poetry in motion.

The title reflects many nights that I had to slow down and evaluate things. I was affected by the flood of 2016 in Louisiana. When a life experience of dramatic proportion hits you, just like in baseball, you take first base. Once you get there, you have to evaluate if you're staying put, or will you steal a base or two? Everyone's objective in life is to make it home one way or another. Me? I am taking second base and going for more.

Steven Bates writes his fourth poetry book, again dealing with content that affects us all, from PTSD and depression, inspiration, and motivation to even touching on the pandemic and politics. Steven invites his friend and fellow poet Jennifer Fehrn to add her collection of poetry to this book in hopes that even more persons may be reached and helped by perhaps a different viewpoint, style, and perspective.

Beyond the Backside of God is the poetic storytelling of a journey through loss of faith. It is akin to that found in the writings of John of the Cross. The traveler moves out of the traditional village of god belief through the dark nights of sense, mind, and soul into the terrifying void. A miracle happens! Void merges with liberating plentitude from where the traveler is lifted to a oneness with the source of all that is. What began as a journey of despair becomes a journey of love.
