The pews have long been seen as the quiet and submissive part of the traditional church. However, when Christianity becomes abusive and cultish, the pews must become a place of protest. Poetry was my form of protest. This book is a collection of poems that I wrote after leaving the abusive and cultish church that I attended for years. This poetry collection is meant to raise awareness of the abuse taking place in Christian cults and to help victims through their struggle. This collection of poetry includes the following poems.Lord, LordChristian CartelShelterWho Is The Father?Under CoverSunday's Last CharadeTyrantLadder Of PrideDonkey DisconnectActionKing Of CharismaTwisterPulpiteerMoney TablesLittle OnesLone RangerInside OutHard To FindLike Judas360Years In ArabiaYou Resurrect MeYou Give Me LifeWalking AwayGutBridgesReverendBad ApplesFrom The PewsPages

In this small collection of poetry by Terry McDermott and collected by Jeanne C. DeFazio, McDermott's poems tenderly speak to the hearts of women who suffer from post-abortion grief, encouraging them to let go of fear, regret, and anger and to thank God for covering the past, present, and future. Further reflection on Nelson Mandela's poem, ""Letting Go,"" reminds us all of the importance of forgiveness and release.

Of Wings and Dirt is one woman's story in poetry, which chronicles her journey through mental and physical illness, infertility and miraculous motherhood, and the wonder and faith that sustained her through it all. In Of Wings and Dirt, Kimberly Phinney intimately and unflinchingly reveals the story of her near death experiences and survival with the hopes of comforting her readers and pointing them toward the divine--be it in ordinary moments, the natural world, or the nearness of a loving God. We are all made of wings and dirt, and the lines within are a reminder of this holy truth.

A girl discovers her lover's journal, a journal she promised to never read, and quickly finds that it is filled with his poetic thoughts regarding their love story. This book is written in a collection of poems and storytelling about two teenagers who fall in love at first sight. But sometimes love doesn't last forever as one of them soon learns that their cancer has returned and a battle that was thought to have been won is far from over. Could this be the end of love at first sight or is this the beginning of a true love story? Sometimes love itself is written in the heavens amongst the stars.

How will we live, love, and empower? How will we cherish natures and nurture our loves while grappling with feelings of love that make or break us? The fifty-five poems in this collection, Shadows, Memories, and Dreams, speak about soulmates and poetry; they ruminate on love, time, death, God, and of days gone by when things were simpler.

What does it mean to love a woman--a mother, an other--and hold her at arm's length? Clara Joseph's third collection of poems, M/OTHER, skillfully navigates the nuances and irony of this daily exercise. With each turn of the page, the narrative gains emotional intensity and takes readers on unexpected journeys, such as this one: ""He smiled like the man he was/as he copied wonder into my lap, . . ./And I bent to smell his washed scalp;/the nip was barely visible . . ./And the snake slid away/in the shadows between/our hooves."" While the collection playfully experiments with language and form, it never obscures the gravity of its themes, as in the parenthetical query: ""(Could I be a Ruth to my Naomi?/Or would I be--simply--ruthless?)"" The collection is divided into three parts, each exploring the multifaceted nature of motherhood, uncovering biographical details, certainties, uncertainties, and the intricacies of hidden pasts. It also contemplates unconventional messages, both reverent and irreverent, unveiling their magical essence. In the final section, the book contemplates senility and will, death and miracle, and survival and freedom.

Being in touch with feelings--naming ones stirred up by a loss--can be critical in terms of moving ahead productively. Loss comes in many different packages: losses of relationship whether by death, divorce, or some other means; loss of status as per experiencing retirement or down-grading with respect to jobs; material loss whether homes, savings accounts, etc.; loss of function whether declining health, loss of a body part, etc. Whatever the loss there is an accompanying need to grieve. Wright's own experience of a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis has been her most challenging loss in life. Her poetry is honest in terms of the feelings she has faced. Instead of glossing over the challenges of loss, she attacks them head-on. This is especially true in terms of the conversations she has with God. Her desire is to grant permission for readers to be equally honest in terms of feelings they encounter with respect to their losses in life.

Two probes deeply into the condition of the heart. ""The Diseased Tree"" is a poem that shines a light on man's fallen, spiritual condition, focusing on his will, without reserve, in accordance with the Bible. It unabashedly directs the reader to both the bad fruit produced by the diseased tree that will be cut down and thrown in the fire, and the hope of true healing for those who abide in the true vine: Jesus Christ. In addition, experience a summed-up life like you've never seen it: thirty-one fictional obituaries analyzing the finality of death, not as an expiration, but as the door to eternal death, or eternal life. Book of Obituaries is a warning call for all who pass the day leaning on their own understanding.

The Place across the River addresses defective systems of culture, politics, religion, and social relationship with poetic discourse reflecting the predicament of the abandoned and rejected whose voices carry little social power. The collection of poems provides an unforgettable portrait of life on the margins, where the working class, Black, Brown, and rejected human beings overlooked by mainstream society weep about shattered dreams and keep hope for a divided society alive.

Explore a sweeping, unflinching look at the profound depths of the pride of man--the wellspring of the waters of depravity. In Four, you will find, smeared across page after page of four momentous works: introspective, image-heavy poetry of the wicked desires of man's worldly striving, and his need for regeneration and shepherding; the author himself groping in the darkness of thirty-two years of unregenerate passions by way of an autobiographical prose-poem; a visionary poem about man entrenched in the depravities of a technological society; and an uncommon, prose-poem narrative of those, in ancient times, seeking to escape death. Immerse yourself in four works that speak, through visionary poetry, autobiography, and poetic narrative, of man's prideful trajectory--and discover the only hope one has against such an aimless course: Jesus Christ.

These words are a collection of emotions and cerebral thoughts to document both victories and failures of an average guy living in the 21st century. The poems document reflections on past relationships, feelings on current ones, and positive outlooks on what the future might hold.

The point of these pages are to allow the reader to grasp relatable concepts and also to interpret the words using their own experiences as the filter for comparison.

Ever since my mother pushed me in our backyard swing to the rhythm of Stevenson's "How Do You Like to Go Up in a Swing?" I sensed that traditional poetry--with rhyme, meter, imagery, and storytelling--was the heartbeat of life itself. From that time, I've loved hearing, reading, and writing such verse. When I encountered "free" verse, I knew it was not the voice for me. The characters and creatures whose stories I wanted to tell were those outside the pale of normality-"weird and wild," in Poe's phrase-and I felt that their depiction was best served (and versed) by a structured framework. We can't fight chaos with chaos, but we can "put it into fourteen lines and make it good," as Millay said about the sonnet. In this ballet for metrical "feet,"I let these beings speak for themselves, disappearing behind each one like a ballerina interpreting a chosen role. Your dancer may wear a pirate's boot, a dinosaur's claw, or an angel's weightless foot, but the toe slippers of discipline and dedication, dipped in the rosin of Reason, lie behind them all. The role is created by the soles-and her soul. "Come join the dance!"

Dopo l'esperienza di "Un'estate perfetta", questo nuovo libretto rappresenta una sorta di complemento o, se si preferisce, di specificazione, rispetto a quella prima raccolta. L'esperienza amorosa, vissuta quasi sempre come assenza, diventa metro della vita: autentico baricentro esistenziale. Di qui muovono considerazioni più filosofiche, che abbracciano l'intera esperienza umana, senza mai fornire risposte, pur ponendo un'infinità di domande.

El poeta César Simón se preguntó una vez si había algo más hondo que la vida; y la respuesta quizá esté entre los versos de Dejará memoria. Este libro de poemas, frente al dolor, la enfermedad y la pérdida, postula al amor como el único consuelo, como la única razón para mirar atrás y contemplar las estrías del pasado, como el único motivo para no temer a ese lugar de nadas / que será nuestro hogar. José María Andreo, con un estilo propio, rebosante de ingenio, sencillo y profundo y tan duro como compasivo, mantiene un diálogo necesario entre el ahora y los recuerdos. Sin duda, este es su testigo; su manera de amar.
