In an age when personal poetry struggles to be heard over the noise
of its narcissistic imposters, Liza Hyatt's voice cuts through
clean and clear at a frequency that delights the listener with
discovery. These poems, each a step in her endless journey under a
50-pound backpack of rattling love, are the priceless property of
the writer and her late, difficult, captivating mother. Yet they
demonstrate once again the power of Hyatt's mind and music to
extend intimacy to all of us. -Dan Carpenter, editorial page
columnist, poet, author of More Than I Could See and Hard Pieces:
Dan Carpenter's Indiana Liza Hyatt is lucky to have learned from
her mother the word "memory" and the sweet fruit of pear at an
early age. Her mother taught her the "imagination is essential,
healing and ancient," and that is exactly what Hyatt does for us as
we voyage in her boat with white sails to her world of childhood,
vivid with bright and dark gems, fed by a strong mother love,
nurturing her (as the pear) and sometimes not. Hyatt reveals to us
how she accepts their relationship and moves forward, as we all
must do to be fully on our own. This brave and honest collection
urges us toward compassion for that wild and varied dance of all
children and their mothers. -Bonnie Maurer, MFA, author of The
Reconfigured Goddess: Poems of a Breast Cancer Survivor and
Reconfigured
Swedish scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg wrote
volumes upon volumes based on the understanding he gained through
visits to the spiritual world and from conversations with its
inhabitants. For new readers of Swedenborg, knowing where to start
and what to read can present an insurmountable task. This volume is
a good starting point and provides samples of some of his most
powerful writings, now available in new, contemporary
translations.
What happens to our souls after we die? What is the afterlife
like? What is the nature of God? Of evil? What can we do during our
lives to help guide us to heaven? What kinds of answers can we find
in the Bible? Selections from some of Swedenborg's most popular
works--"Heaven and Hell," "Divine Love and Wisdom," "Divine
Providence," "Secrets of Heaven," and "True Christianity"--answer
these questions and more.
Ideal for those new to Swedenborg's theology, "A Swedenborg
Sampler" offers tastes from a rich smorgasbord of spiritual
insight.
