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.
