The Great Awakening is a global movement by which a corrupt power structure is being systematically dismantled. C J Swan has already written a first book of poems of the Great Awakening, and this is the second in what is expected to be a trilogy. As heroes of the takedown of the Deep State, reference is made to JFK, JFK Jr, Donald Trump and Q Anon. When the first of these poems was written, the victory of the forces of Light was still doubtful. Now, though many people are still sleeping, a major revolution is well underway, and the Power of the People is emerging victorious. As the final poem says, "They tried to bury us, not knowing we were seeds."

The Great Awakening is a global movement by which a corrupt power structure is being systematically dismantled. This is C J Swan's third book on the subject. Originally the plan was to write three books but now a fourth is being worked on. The author is guided by the conviction that poetry is a unique art form that can play a special role in helping others to understand the significance of these world-shattering events taking place in our lifetime. The forward contains nineteen extracts from the ""breadcrumbs"" given by Q (also known as Q Anon) who has been an inspiration to the writing. For those new to the subject, this will serve as an introduction to something that is very misunderstood in the world today. The poems were mostly written between March and August of 2019. These poems are a call to take up "arms" in a peaceful revolution to save the world from tyranny. Swan shows that we do not have to be American to fight in this revolution - we just have to believe in the redeeming power of Truth.

50 poems on the subject of the Great Awakening. Writing influenced by contemporary politics, especially Q (Qanon). All poems written between October 2017 and January 2019. The Great Awakening is both a battle against traitors at all levels of American government and the story of a spiritual awakening within every individual who has the courage to confront the facts of what really is happening. The author wrote these poems to make sense for himself of these monumental and still unfolding events, looking at the Great Awakening as something taking place in his own heart. His poems will speak to the hearts of many others who read them.

Selected by Today as a book "to ease kids’ anxiety about coronavirus.” We all need hope. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to battle through adversity, but only if they have something to cling onto: a belief or hope that maybe, one day, things will be better. This idea sparked The Great Realization. Sharing the truths we may find hard to tell but also celebrating the things—from simple acts of kindness and finding joy in everyday activities, to the creativity within us all—that have brought us together during lockdown, it gives us hope in this time of global crisis. Written for his younger brother and sister in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem is as timely as it is timeless. Its message of hope and resilience, of rebirth and renewal, has captured the hearts of children and adults all over the globe—and the glimpse it offers of a fairer, kinder, more sustainable world continues to inspire thousands every day. With Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Nomoco, The Great Realization is a profound work, at once striking and reassuring, reminding readers young and old that in the face of adversity there are still dreams to be dreamt and kindnesses to be shared and hope. There is still hope. We now call it The Great Realization and, yes, since then there have been many. But that’s the story of how it started . . . and why hindsight’s 2020.
