Religious Poetry

The big questions in life: Who am I? What is my purpose? Where do I find the answers? When will I die? Why am I here? How do I know what's true? The who, what, where, when, why, and how of your life, of my life, of anyone’s life. Whenever I pick up medications at the pharmacy, I’m asked, “Do you have any questions?” If it's someone new, I give the response, “Only existential ones, and we have to answer those for ourselves.” A philosopher, a physician, a recovering addict, a poet, a dreamer, a believer.

El amor algunas veces es tan complicado como impredecible. Pero al final lo que más valoramos son los detalles más simples, los más bonitos, los que llegan sin avisar.

It has been twenty-eight years since Sandra Cisneros published a book of poetry. With dozens of never-before-seen poems, Woman Without Shame is a moving collection of songs, elegies, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist.

For Cisneros, Woman Without Shame is the culmination of her search for home—in the Mexico of her ancestors and in her own heart.

விடியாமல் போகும் இரவைப் பற்றி நான் யோசித்துக் கொண்டு இருக்கிறேன். மரணம் என்பது அவனுக்கான உலகம் அழிவதைத் தவிர வேறில்‍லை. பிறந்ததிலிருந்து நாம் உடலுக்குத்தான் அதி முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுக்கிறோம்.

La maledizione del fico raccontata nei Vangeli di Marco e di Matteo è, insieme all'uccisione dei porci, uno dei rari miracoli che si risolvono con effetti negativi. Ma se la morte dei porci precipitati da un crepaccio libera un indemoniato, la maledizione del fico non porta alcun vantaggio. Gesù è a Betania, si sveglia affamato e si mette a cercare i frutti tra le foglie di un fico rigoglioso. Non trovandone, lo condanna alla sterilità eterna. Al di là dell'apparente insensatezza, che significato teologico dobbiamo dare a questa maledizione? Che mistero nasconde?

The intention behind what I do and why is to help us look inside for answers to life's big and little dilemmas. Change is oftentimes incredibly difficult because we may have to admit we were wrong about some aspect of how we view life in general.

Rooted in the grit of urban Baltimore and the forests of rural Massachusetts, these poems remind us that life's tensions and polarities are energies we carry within ourselves. These are poems of witness and commentary, conversation and meditation. They offer moments of close looking, and of looking away; of loving, and of bungled attempts to be more loving. They call us to look long and hard and generously at our lives. Written with radiant honesty and fierce tenderness, they suggest a path of inner discovery where mystery awaits us in the ordinary.
