Ô l'Amour est l'essence éternelle de l'âme ! Il est le carburant qui fait briller la flamme... DIEU, personne ne l'a jamais vu, ou encore nul ne peut voir Dieu et vivre : c'est écrit dans la Bible. Pourtant, la parole de Dieu a été adressée aux êtres humains dans ce livre sacré qui contient les grandes révélations sur l'origine et le destin de l'humanité, et au-delà sur tout l'Univers dont elle fait partie. Écrit d'après le texte de la Bible, ce long poème propose de retracer l'ascension de l'âme vers Dieu à travers le mystère de la Création puis à travers le mystère de la Révélation.

What was happening to our country? There were a lot of people just like me. We were faces in our windows, looking out, wondering what in the world was going on. We have some evil giants trying to stomp us down, and they are trying to turn our country into something we cannot accept. These giants were systematically forcing terrible things on the population to be accepted as normal and good. God is love but He is not just soft mushy quiet love. God has a temper, and He has displayed it in His word. The scolding poems (the face in the window poems) came to me in basically a complete form.

Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674). The first version, published in 1667, consists of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout. It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.

Intimate, moving, virtuosic, and hilarious, Tayi Tibble is one of the most exciting new voices in poetry today.

In the heart of the western wilderness, a lone hiker encounters an ancient traveler with a story unlike any other—Lucifer himself. In this 1667-line epic poem—Paradise Lost was published in 1667—Devil’s Desert reimagines the creation of the universe through the eyes of Lucifer. Blending novel Satanic mythology with philosophical musings, the author weaves a tale of cosmic wonder, loss, and the ultimate solitude of existence.

Whale Day brings together more than fifty poems and showcases the deft mixing of the playful and the serious that has made Billy Collins one of our country’s most celebrated and widely read poets.
