Religious Poetry

Raised as a Catholic in rural Vermont, I was infused with an awareness of sin and penitence, but also absolution and forgiveness. My late teenage encounter with Dostoevsky’s Legend of the Grand Inquisitor shattered my youthful allegiance to Catholic dogma, but it’s one thing to walk away from Catholic doctrine and quite another to lose the weight of its beauty, fear, and guilt.

Zeina Hashem Beck writes at the intersection of the divine and the profane, where she crafts elegant, candid poems that simultaneously exude a boundless curiosity and a deep knowingness. Formally electrifying—from lyrics and triptychs to ghazals and Zeina's own duets, in which English and Arabic echo and contradict each other—O explores the limits of language, notions of home and exile, and stirring visions of motherhood, memory, and faith.

The poems inside are a mixed bag. These poems include thoughts we all have had, at times, and you might find yourself saying, Hey, you know, I did think of that. You may have had thoughts as in: Happy, Friends, The Future, and Why Am I Here? But probably not with Conversation with an Alien.

Every one of us regardless of our background will experience some form of brokenness in our lives. We may pass through this phase of life either at the early stages, middle stages, or the later part of our lives. Brokenness is a subject everyone can relate to in his life time, it is part of life.

A New Life is written as a fantasy with heart. It portrays the author's love of God, nature, and family. It is my hope that you, the listener, will be transported to a simpler time and place. You may even see a bit of yourself in the characters of the story, but they are actually fashioned after my own family. After suffering a great loss, the characters in the story have to leave the home they love and everything familiar as they begin a new life, in a new place.

Enmeshed within these poems are violent and purposeful contradictions of hate and love, exuberance and apprehension, of wrangling and conflict. “A Clash to Analyze” reveals the disorder and confusion in the current political scene, and “Good as Advertised” propels the listener to a oneness of betterment in order to help oneself, as well as assisting others!

Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe's spellbinding debut poetry collection explores love and the wounds it makes. Its first half is composed of five sections, corresponding to the five arrows of Kama, the Hindu God of Love, Desire and Memory. Each arrow has its own effect on some body - a very real, contemporary body - and its particular journey of love. The second is a long narrative poem, 'A is for ????? [Arabs]', which follows a different kind of journey: a family of refugees who have fled to the West from conflict in an unspecified Middle Eastern country.

This is an audiobook of poetry that had its origins almost 20 years ago. Largely tongue-in-cheek, humorous, lyrical, formal, and free, I have tried to preserve the youthful exuberance characteristic of those early years, while reworking some of it for dignity's sake. Maturity is a beautiful thing. I'd like to think I have acquired some by now. Having it available as an audiobook really rings my bells. Fun, fun, fun!

As a fan of mainstream singer and songwriter music, I have become an expert in the dualistic creative process and passion involved in art.

"Pude seguir adelante, "dejar todo en manos de Dios", como dicen. Y cuando lo hice, las ventanas y las puertas se abrieron de par en par. La luz entró a raudales, una luz que ahuyentó al miedo y eliminó la ira. Lo solté, en verdad lo solté, y fui libre [...] la elección fue mía. Podía elegir perdonar o no. Perdoné porque me habían perdonado. Y cuando perdoné llegó la liberación". -"La señal".
