Everyone knows it's out there, but no one really wants to talk about it. Depression. What you will read is my struggle with years of suffering. My struggle with sadness, anger and love is all reflected inside. Some of this may seem a bit chaotic sometimes moving from a romantic poem to an all out angry and sad rant. That is the way of depression however, at one moment you are fine and everything is sunshine and roses, the next you can't see any goodness in life and just want to end everything.

Originally published in 1935, Gold by Moonlight was not written by the well for the ill, but by one who knows the sensitive lessons that come from a walk with pain. This book is for all who are walking in the difficult places of life. It is a literary signpost pointing toward the peace and comfort that only comes from the Lord. A spiritually rich book, full of courage for anyone who suffers. “Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the adversities of life? Then this encouraging and comforting book is just for you. Written by Amy Carmichael who has known pain and suffering herself and has an amazing capacity to guide a weary soul back into God’s presence.”—Prayer Tray Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs.

Literary style in the mix of Poe, Crowley, and Lovecraft. Truly for those who wonder about life and limb.

A remarkable Pocket Poets anthology of poems from around the world and across the centuries about illness and healing, both physical and spiritual. From ancient Greece and Rome up to the present moment, poets have responded with sensitivity and insight to the troubles of the human body and mind. Poems of Healing gathers a treasury of such poems, tracing the many possible journeys of physical and spiritual illness, injury, and recovery, from John Donne’s “Hymne to God My God, In My Sicknesse” and Emily Dickinson’s “The Soul has Bandaged moments” to Eavan Boland’s “Anorexic,” from W.H. Auden’s “Miss Gee” to Lucille Clifton’s “Cancer,” and from D.H. Lawrence’s “The Ship of Death” to Rafael Campo’s “Antidote” and Seamus Heaney’s “Miracle.” Here are poems from around the world, by Sappho, Milton, Baudelaire, Longfellow, Cavafy, and Omar Khayyam; by Stevens, Lowell, and Plath; by Zbigniew Herbert, Louise Bogan, Yehuda Amichai, Mark Strand, and Natalia Toledo. Messages of hope in the midst of pain—in such moving poems as Adam Zagajewski’s “Try to Praise the Mutilated World,” George Herbert’s “The Flower,” Wisława Szymborska’s “The End and the Beginning,” Gwendolyn Brooks’ “when you have forgotten Sunday: the love story” and Stevie Smith’s “Away, Melancholy”—make this the perfect gift to accompany anyone on a journey of healing. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

A beautiful collection of poetry written by Betty Evans that will touch your soul. Author Bio: I was the second child born to Clarence and Vera Wallace of Evergreen Alabama. I am the daughter of a Sharecropper, Lumber Jack and Pipe fitter, and granddaughter of a slave, Wilson Wallace. I attended Little Zion Country School at the age of six. I started my first year of school in the second grade. My family later migrated to Omaha Nebraska. After I turned sixteen, I returned to my home state where I married Abraham Lincoln Salter Sr. We separated when I was 21 years old and divorced at 29. I attended O. I. C in preparation for my GED which I obtained at Thomas Jefferson High School in Council Bluff, Iowa. This allowed me to attend nursing school at Fort Omaha. After my move to Pomona California, I was able to graduate and acquire my LVN license in 1979. I also attended business College at Mt. SAC in Walnut California. At the age of 63, I studied to become a Nursing Assistant at NIT(Wyotech) in Long Beach. Out of frustration and disappointment of looking for a job that seemed to elude me, I started writing poetry again. I'm a mother of four, grandmother of five and great grandmother of ten. I'm a member of Way of Faith Ministry in the Springdale Community. Pastor Dannie Brayboy is overseer. Elder Calvin Card is Pastor. Associate Ministers are Pastor Mary Card and Dr. Ernest Campbell. I belonged to a singing group where Deacon Jason Michael Cottrell is the manager and bass player. I am keyboard player, lead singer and back ground singer. Nichol James is a lead and background singer, and her son Marvin plays drums. I also write Gospel lyrics and have sixteen songs in the Library of Congress. I am also Evangelist, by the grace of God. keywords: Betty Evans, Poetry, Inspirational, Wayward Child
