The aim of this book is to devise a method for approaching the
problem of presence in Hellenistic and Roman poetry. The problem of
presence, as defined here, is the problem of the availability or
accessibility to the reader of the fictional worlds disclosed by
poetry. From Callimachus' Hymns to the Odes of Horace, poets of
this era repeatedly challenge readers by beckoning them to explore
fictive spaces which are at once familiar and otherworldly, realms
of the imagination which are nevertheless firmly rooted in the
lived reality of the poets and their contemporaries. We too, when
we read these poems, may feel simultaneously a sense of being
transported to a world apart and of being seized upon by the poem's
address in the here and now of reading. The fiction of occasion is
proposed as a new conceptual tool for understanding how these poems
produce such problematic presences and what varieties of experience
they make possible for their readers. The fiction of occasion is
defined as a phenomenon whereby a poem is fictionally framed as
part of a material event or 'occasion' with which the reader is
invited to engage through the medium of the senses. The book
explores this concept through close readings of key authors from
the corpus of first-person poetry written in Greek and Latin
between the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE, with a focus on
Callimachus, Bion, Catullus, Propertius, and Horace. The ultimate
purpose of these readings is to move towards developing a new
vocabulary for conceptualising ancient poetry as an embodied
experience.

Dancing with butterflies is a beautiful allegory dramatizing the
yearnings of three very brave butterflies named Zippy, Tippy and
Flitty. They will be led to new heights of love, joy and victory.
You will follow Jenny, who is offered an extraordinary adventure;
it will be one that no other human has ever been able to take, a
place called Butterfly Island. She will journey through difficult
places with her three companions, as she overcomes her fears and
passes through many dangers that will at last bring them to the end
of their journey Crystal Mountain. Here she will experience the
transformation that will take place by their wonderful and loving
King.
The catch is that she will have to become a butterfly as well;
her journey will take her through a terrible forest that is very
scary having to watch and observe all that the butterflies and
their babies will have to go through. They will have to face
challenges with keeping their babies protected by learning to trust
in their King as well as each other. They will learn the Kings way
to turn their intentions into action, challenges into strength and
their experiences into wisdom.
Based on the premise that by trusting in our King. He can change
our lives and we can live an adventurous and exciting life for Him
and our loved ones. Dancing with Butterflies is a story that will
open up your emotions and your heart.
I find that Dancing with Butterflies is stunning in its beauty,
simplicity and scope. It distills the teaching and wisdom of our
King, reminding us of how wonderful it feels to be awake, alive and
to love one another.
