He then discuss the artistic achievements and failures of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. And finally Matta talks about Jesus' imagination. How much do you know about your artistic connection to Adam and Eve? The Garden of Eden was fertile ground for pure imagination. God encouraged Adam to be creative. Adam learned to be expressive in the garden too. Together Adam and Eve held a creative weapon that they neglected to use on the serpent. That weapon was the imagination. Learn more in this book.

These astonishing poems are put into a distinctive collection of words of a variety of rhymes that are designed to capture lifelike surroundings, images, and amazing ideas. Some that are into short stories that will have you thinking you were right inside the mind of the poet sitting in the clouds. This is nature at its best. It captivates what or how you may imagine different ways of life, nature, devastating circumstances, overcoming hardship, love lost, love gained, ups and downs, love triangles, and temptations. You may laugh; you may smile; you may even cry. These phenomenal words are formed together with great rhymes, with beautiful meanings, and with life experiences and situations. Various poems are memoires of myself going through the trying times of lifes obstacles, from childhood to womanhood.

Book excerpt: The author offers close readings of Thomas Hardy's poetry and novels, regarding these as expressive forms of everyday and professional acts of the imagination. Hardy is placed in the long tradition of writers who subject is not art but imagination and whose most interesting aesthetic introspectionÆs, like those of Jane Austen and George Eliot, are oblique or sub-textual. So what the reader follows here is Hardy's imagining of imagination in his elegies and nature poems and in his major characters from Gabriel Oak to Tess and Jude.The themes and forms examined by Barbara Hardy include narrative, conversation, gossip, memory, gender, poetry of place and imaginative thresholds. Altogether the study is a lucid and accessible introduction, which locates Hardy's place in the tradition of English literature.

Book excerpt: First published in 1969, this book provides a concise and helpful introduction to the terms ‘fancy’ and ‘imagination’. Although they are generally associated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the work begins with a discussion the history of these concepts which were also known to Aristotle, the Elizabethans, Hobbes, Locke and Blake. It then goes on to examine Coleridge’s theory of imagination and the distinction he drew between fancy and imagination. This work will be of particular interest to those studying Coleridge and the Romantic Movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is John Marcel O'Gradney. I was born on March 3, 1976 in Chicago, Illinois. I started writing poetry in high school, which led to me becoming a lead singer in a rock n roll band. I've been in various bands throughout the years, having always been the main lyricist. For me, I've always felt that song lyrics were simply poems put to music. I've been a student of life since birth, my school being the earth, imagination my teacher, and life being the lessons learned. The poetry i write is about everything from life, love, religion, philosophy, and drugs. I am now living in St. Petersburg, Florida, where I was raised from the age of eight. I work to pay my bills as a chef, which I have been doing since I was twelve years old. My grand father owned a restaurant and gave me a job as a dishwasher. I worked my way to a cook and have been doing it since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry of Edgar Allan Poe has had a rough ride in America, as Emerson’s sneering quip about “The Jingle Man” testifies. That these poems have never lacked a popular audience has been a persistent annoyance in academic and literary circles; that they attracted the admiration of innovative poetic masters in Europe and especially France—notably Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Valéry—has been further cause for embarrassment. Jerome McGann offers a bold reassessment of Poe’s achievement, arguing that he belongs with Whitman and Dickinson as a foundational American poet and cultural presence. Not all American commentators have agreed with Emerson’s dim view of Poe’s verse. For McGann, a notable exception is William Carlos Williams, who said that the American poetic imagination made its first appearance in Poe’s work. The Poet Edgar Allan Poe explains what Williams and European admirers saw in Poe, how they understood his poetics, and why his poetry had such a decisive influence on Modern and Post-Modern art and writing. McGann contends that Poe was the first poet to demonstrate how the creative imagination could escape its inheritance of Romantic attitudes and conventions, and why an escape was desirable. The ethical and political significance of Poe’s work follows from what the poet takes as his great subject: the reader. The Poet Edgar Allan Poe takes its own readers on a spirited tour through a wide range of Poe’s verse as well as the critical and theoretical writings in which he laid out his arresting ideas about poetry and poetics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Summary Dreams, Imagination, & Destiny, A Poetic Journey, is a far-reaching anthology of poetic thought. Lisa Moreno takes her readers on an odyssey through many poetic paradigms. Her first section, Thought Provoking, takes the reader through poetic waters that challenges the reader to think about the world of fantastic possibilities. From Mental Highway to Undisclosed Invasion, you will be held in deep thought and suspense. Her second section, Beyond Space and Time, is simply that. You’ll be in a time machine going back to the beginning or continuum of eternity through poetic doorways. You’ll go into the farthest reaches of space where time is of no consequence. Timing’s Will and Eternity’s Door are poems that will ask the reader to stop and ponder concepts generally perceived as beyond scope. What’s a book of poetry without a little Humor & Farce? There’s a laugh tucked away in each of the poems presented in this section. I’m Still a Size 6 and Smooth and Shiny are two poems that many people can relate to. These poems are intended to have us all laugh at our own distortions and illusions. Primal Instinct is a section that moves the reader into the jungle of sensual cravings. Humanity has animalistic elements to its makeup and enjoys natural hungers. You’ll move through the corridors of temptation, lust, and bodily greed. Naked Thirst and Rapture are two poems that will parch the mouth. The next section, Inner Knowing, sweeps you into a vortex of your primordial self and ushers visions of angels and shadows. Proud Tree of Life, Journey and Dancing Angels are just a few of the poems that are food for thought in this section. The Spirit Within, mixes inner convictions and the spirit world. The Source of Life, Your Wish Come True, and Tired of it All play to the inner spirit. Last, but not least, is the section entitled Dissolving Walls. Poignant poetry dealing with racism, bigotry, and poverty are dealt with here. “We, way too often, ignore the lost, downtrodden, homeless people walking our streets.” “Inner city gangs have members barely old enough to know any better brandishing dangerous weapons.” As well, wars have defined history as being waged primarily over religious conflicts.” 1939, Colorblind, Murder in the Street, and Life on Skid Row are some of the wrenching and moving poems in this section. It is the author’s attempt to assuage the hatred, anger, and ignorance that divides people. “Dissolving Walls needs to be understood else civilization, as we know it, will just be another chapter in the book of humanity.”
