How to turn your mournful nights into delightful mornings? How to feel happiness in sickness? How to turn away from judgements and obnoxious looks? How to turn survival into a living? How to move an inch in trials? All this can be accomplished if we have faith and willingness to change. Revelations is a collection of poems to envision human life with lost hope, happiness and dreams. A sudden encounter with failure, sadness, sickness or lost love detaches a person from his inner-self. In times of uncertainty, when endless fears give birth to spiritual deviations and suspicion fills life, when lack of spirit and solitude results in insane behavior and there is nowhere to escape, we search for respite and eternal peace and tend to settle at a place where voices find a room to yell. This book will take you through a series of sacred emotions that we all feel at some point. Draw that inspiration from regretful circumstance of your life and go for what you have never done before. This book will help you admire the little things in life and discover life like never before.

“Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?” —Mary Oliver This luminous anthology brings together great poets from around the world whose work transcends culture and time. Their words reach past the outer divisions to the universal currents of love and revelation that move and inspire us all. These poems urge us to wake up and love. They also call on us to relinquish our grip on ideas and opinions that confine us and, instead, to risk moving forward into the life that is truly ours. In his selection, Roger Housden has placed strong emphasis on contemporary voices such as the American poet laureate Billy Collins and the Nobel Prize–winners Czeslaw Milosz and Seamus Heaney, but the collection also includes some timeless echoes of the past in the form of work by masters such as Goethe, Wordsworth, and Emily Dickinson. The tens of thousands of readers of Roger Housden’s “Ten Poems” series will welcome this beautiful harvest of poems that both open the mind and heal the heart.

An extremely moving, impelling, profound, and highly thought-provoking collection of spiritual poems, "Divine Revelations" consists of four sections with preceding scriptures and revealing themes that determinedly seeks one's calling, a relationship with God, wisdom and health, and the way to reach the church as well as the nations around the world to watch and pray for the Kingdom of God truly is at hand and to understand that humility, repentance, and faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation. These poems are also a strict reminder that our words either carry life or they carry death and that we undoubtedly are without excuse when we stand before God on the approaching Judgment Day. This book began as a seed; but, through the diligent guidance of the Holy Spirit to plant it with commitment and obedience to God Almighty, it has become an abundant harvest designed to glorify God.

Fred Chappell says of Ted Olson's second collection of poems: "These surprising revelations are really reminders." The eleven 'chapters' of seven poems per chapter provide readers with poetry that Maurice Manning describes as, "refreshing, almost old-fashioned in that it is truly verse...composed generously with rhythm and rhyme, and that antiquated quality makes the gravity of Revelations all the more subtle."

CHAPTER 1: REVELATION I begin at the end of my writing, as these are mostly my later poems. They came to me in deeper moments, meditative states or sometimes even just out of the blue demanding attention to be written down. They reflect my spiritual journey through life, influenced by my study of, Esoteric Philosophy and Spirituality, Christian Hermeticism, Perennial Wisdom and The Divine Feminine. They give meaning and make sense of my life's journey, and in sharing them with others I hope to give an insight into a way of looking at life that may be useful to those who are also 'Independent Spiritual Seekers'. CHAPTER 2: SHORT POEMS These are just short and sweet and often fun, and can reveal a lot in a few words. Ideas and thoughts that come in a moment and can have more depth than originally observed. They are about love, sadness and the passage of time, in a nutshell. CHAPTER 3: NATURE AS INSPIRATION Based on the idea that what draws our eye and our attention, is what we need to observe in the world in order to know ourselves, 'nature as inspiration' is a perfect palette of opportunity. The burgeoning of spring flowers, the harbinger of hope and new beginnings, or deeply observing a plant or flower, can uncover the secrets of its existence, and are perfect mirrors to the soul. They can tell us through revelation, more than any intellectual analysis, what we are seeking or trying to uncover or express. They can reveal to us something we need to witness, from which we can then transform and move forward. CHAPTER 4: PILGRIMAGE These poems or writings are what I experience when I am open to a channelled level of consciousness. The words that reveal themselves have a totally different quality to my 'own' writings. They do not come from my own conscious mind and experience of life, but are a message that comes from a sphere full of compassion and understanding, and of unconditional love and support. I experience these moments when I enter the physical space of representations of the so-called 'Black Madonnas' and the Virgin Mary and focus on what they represent. These messages are very personal to my own experience, but I also feel they are universal in their appeal and are for all to hear. I have shared them with like minded people and in this anthology bring them to a wider audience. CHAPTER 5: MANY & VARIOUS This is a collection of my early poems and are descriptive in nature based on the everyday things of life like Kitchen Cupboards, memories of friends, travel, visits to art galleries, and world events. These poems taught me about the magic of words and how they could form not just a framework for an idea but through the spaces between the words, reveal the unseen in the ordinary, the hidden gem in the everyday passing of time. CHAPTER 6: VILLANELLES Villanelles are fun to do. There are rules to follow which give the poem a repetitive structure, and I have found when there is apparently nothing to say, something comes forth through the shape of the Villanelle, that can be surprising and has a life of its own. I don't often use this form, but when I do, I always feel I should explore it more often.

This book explores the much debated relation of language and bodily experience (i.e. the 'flesh'), considering in particular how poetry functions as revelatory discourse and thus relates to the formal horizon of theological inquiry. The central thematic focus is around a 'phenomenology of the flesh' as that which connects us with the world, being the site of perception and feeling, joy and suffering, and of life itself in all its vulnerability. The voices represented in this collection reflect interdisciplinary methods of interpretation and broadly ecumenical sensibilities, focusing attention on such matters as the revelatory nature of language in general and poetic language in particular, the function of poetry in society, the question of Incarnation and its relation to language and the poetic arts, the kenosis of the Word, and human embodiment in relation to the word 'enfleshed' in poetry.
