Book excerpt: Embark on a profound journey through the landscapes of the human heart with William Gomes's captivating anthology, "Bridges Over Shadows: Poetry of Home, Heart, and Healing." This meticulously crafted collection traverses the intricate realms of home, confronts the deep scars of racism and hate, navigates the tumultuous waters of grief, and celebrates the boundless expressions of love. Gomes's verses serve as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of empathy, and the enduring connections that bind us all. Divided into thematic sections—Home, Racism, Hate, Love, and Grief—"Bridges Over Shadows" explores the unseen foundations that define our sense of belonging, the voices that echo within the walls of home, and the traditions that weave through generations, creating a tapestry rich with personal and cultural narratives. It challenges the constructs of race, examines the impact of hate, and amplifies the voices of those marginalized by prejudice, urging a collective journey towards understanding, empathy, and unity. In the realms of love and grief, Gomes delves deep into the heart, capturing the silent gestures of affection, the infinite echoes of love that transcend time and space, and the colors of mourning that paint our experiences of loss. Through vivid, multisensory imagery and sophisticated literary devices, these poems invite readers to reflect on the complexities of love and the transformative journey through grief, highlighting the unseen threads that connect us to those we've lost. Whether you find solace in the written word or the spoken voice, "Bridges Over Shadows" offers a bridge over the shadows of existence, illuminating the paths of healing, understanding, and resilience. This anthology is more than a collection of poems; it is an invitation to explore the depths of our experiences, to find light in the darkness, and to celebrate the indomitable strength of love and the human spirit. Join William Gomes on this evocative journey, and discover the bridges that carry us over shadows, guiding us back to the light of hope and the warmth of home. "Bridges Over Shadows: Poetry of Home, Heart, and Healing" is a beacon for anyone seeking solace in shared understanding, a celebration of the resilience that defines us, and a reflection of our boundless capacity to heal, to love, and to find our way home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we find physical help for our spiritual quest? Could the structure of ancient kivas in the American Southwest offer a template for the human interface of that path? And what might nature, embedded in the kiva itself, reveal to us about our own belonging, no matter where or how we live? These are questions author and transpersonal therapist Robyn Bridges has explored for over thirty years, winding through the Rocky Mountains from Montana to Arizona while discovering the healing power of nature. From her own blessed and challenging life experiences, resulting in years of unplanned solitude, she has quested and found meaning, solace, and support from the divine, the human community, and the natural world. This Way to the Kiva chronicles that journey and its attendant discoveries.

Book excerpt: A remarkable Pocket Poets anthology of poems from around the world and across the centuries about illness and healing, both physical and spiritual. From ancient Greece and Rome up to the present moment, poets have responded with sensitivity and insight to the troubles of the human body and mind. Poems of Healing gathers a treasury of such poems, tracing the many possible journeys of physical and spiritual illness, injury, and recovery, from John Donne’s “Hymne to God My God, In My Sicknesse” and Emily Dickinson’s “The Soul has Bandaged moments” to Eavan Boland’s “Anorexic,” from W.H. Auden’s “Miss Gee” to Lucille Clifton’s “Cancer,” and from D.H. Lawrence’s “The Ship of Death” to Rafael Campo’s “Antidote” and Seamus Heaney’s “Miracle.” Here are poems from around the world, by Sappho, Milton, Baudelaire, Longfellow, Cavafy, and Omar Khayyam; by Stevens, Lowell, and Plath; by Zbigniew Herbert, Louise Bogan, Yehuda Amichai, Mark Strand, and Natalia Toledo. Messages of hope in the midst of pain—in such moving poems as Adam Zagajewski’s “Try to Praise the Mutilated World,” George Herbert’s “The Flower,” Wisława Szymborska’s “The End and the Beginning,” Gwendolyn Brooks’ “when you have forgotten Sunday: the love story” and Stevie Smith’s “Away, Melancholy”—make this the perfect gift to accompany anyone on a journey of healing. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

Kitty O’Meara, author of And the People Stayed Home, has been called the “poet laureate of the pandemic.” This illustrated children’s book (ages 4-8) will also appeal to readers of all ages. O’Meara’s thoughtful poem about the pandemic, quarantine, and the future suggests there is meaning to be found in our shared experience of the coronavirus and conveys an optimistic message about the possibility of profound healing for people and the planet. Her words encourage us to look within, listen deeply, and connect with ourselves and the earth in order to heal. O’Meara, a former teacher and chaplain and a spiritual director, clearly captures important aspects of the pandemic experience. Her words, written in March 2020 and shared on Facebook, immediately resonated nationally and internationally and were widely circulated on social media, covered in mainstream news media, and inspired an outpouring of creativity from musicians, dancers, artists, filmmakers, and more. The many highlights include an original composition by John Corigliano that was premiered by Renée Fleming.
