"Found poems are to their poet what no-fault insurance is to beneficiaries: payoffs waiting to happen where everyone wins and no one is blamed. Dillard culls about 40 such happy accidents from sources as diverse as a The American Boys Handy Book (1882) and the letters of Van Gogh. . . . the poet aims for a lucky, loaded symbolism that catapults the reader into an epiphany never imagined by the original authors." — Publishers Weekly In Mornings Like This, beloved author Annie Dillard has given us a witty and moving collection of poems in a wholly original form, sure to charm her fans, both old and new. Extracting and rearranging sentences from old and odd books—From D.C. Beard's "The American Boys Handy Book" in 1882 to Van Gogh's letters to David Greyson's "The Countryman's Year" in 1936—Dillard has composed poems on poetry’s most heartfelt themes of love, nature, nostalgia, and death. A unique, clever, and original collection, Dillard’s characteristic voice sounds throughout the pages.

Annie Johnson Flint was born in New Jersey, USA on Christmas Eve in 1866, now over 150 years ago. Crippled with arthritis throughout her life, hers was a difficult journey to glory - but, perhaps similar to Fanny Crosby, she did not let her physical limitations prevent her from leaving us with an incredible legacy of her writing.This collection of one hundred of her poems contains all of her most well-known writings, as well many of the lesser-known ones. Many of them reflect an unwavering faith in her God and and His promises and a belief that He was always with her and supporting her, and that He had a plan for her life, even though her way might be hard and she couldn't currently see what his purposes for her might be. Her unwavering reliance on God's grace to cope with trials on a daily basis is also very evident, as is her deep love for her Saviour, Jesus Christ. What also shines through many of her poems is a love of God's creation, and this fact is made all the more remarkable because her arthritis would have prevented her from exploring so much of it.Annie's writing has been an inspiration to so many over the decades, particularly those passing through difficult times of illness or pain, including the pain of bereavement. Her most well-known poem "He Giveth More Grace", the title of this collection, has been set to music and recorded by a number of singers and choirs, touching and helping millions in the process. In 2016, Bible teacher Ravi Zacharias quoted this hymn in a sermon and described Annie as 'one of the greatest hymn writers.'However, in recent decades Annie's poems have not been easily available in print. It was therefore decided to publish this collection to bring her work to a new audience and to make it available in an attractive form for those who already appreciate it. This collection is an annotated version in the sense that each poem is accompanied by some relevant Bible verses. As we thank God for the life and work of Annie, we pray that He will bless this project and help many more through her timeless prose.

A tiny book of poetic spells connected to elemental forces A tiny book of poetic spells connected to elemental forces East Wings choose the wind; sing us aware; Muse; spin; weave; spell; create in air In this micro-book, acclaimed "Poetry-Witch" Annie Finch harvests her Spells, spun at the intersection of magic, word, and world. These ritual poems invite readers to experience words not just in the mind, but also in the body and spirit. Celebrated for her extraordinary love and knowledge of poetic craft and commitment to female, earth-centered spirituality, Finch has created a haunting innovative voice and radically traditional aesthetic. As she observes in the book's preface, "Like sticky seeds when you brush past, these spells latched onto me, ready to be carried to you—to your power, your contemplative life, your ability to make change. Say them aloud, if you can; say them thrice, if you will. Use them to help you to cast a circle, turn the year, coven, create, invoke." Sample Poem: East Wings choose the wind; sing us aware; Muse; spin; weave; spell; create in air

But over the course of many years and frequent separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in their lives, and they do anything they can to preserve it."--BOOK JACKET.
