'Bring the rhyme back!' said the Mad Hatter 'For all our lives have too much prose'. So they went down a rabbit HOLE of lyrical rhyme. They hummed - 'This is not a poem but a broken mirror doing its obligation,of reflecting the world's pains.This is not a poem but the chronicles of a paradise lost,of an Eden's remains...'

The manner in which we chart our lives is less a straight line on a calendar of days and more a song cycle moving upward into the future, circles growing closer as we move towards the center, where God is. Ecclesiastes declares we are made for a longing towards heaven, our true home, and so we journey, often in the dark. Signposts offer safety and comfort, from the miraculous and mundane--birdsong; the somnolence of creation's winter and the surprise of every spring; the familiar sight of a favorite chair; and the way sunlight falls in the same place each morning all help mark time as we cycle through the days. The poems in Mining the Bright Birds: Poems of Longing for Home reflect this circular, upward journey, one of changing and growth. The closer we move towards God, the more like ourselves we become. The invitation to discover our deepest longings is often a call to lean into the many ways we express ourselves--as poet or painter or simply a person whose hand holds onto the Creator's on the pathway home. Mining the Bright Birds offers a glimmer of light to shine on the way.

"The Alphabet of Longing is the distilled essence of a lifetime of poetry about love, light and losses. Tipton's poems are deeply touching. They remind us that yes, there is pain in our lives, but there is also astounding goodness and beauty. These are luminous healing poems to be read over and over." --Isabel Allende The Alphabet of Longing and Other Poems serves as the capstone of James Tipton's long and illustrious career as a poet. Released only days before his death in May, 2018, it marks the first publication of the title poem-which is being recognized as his masterwork-and includes some of his most critically acclaimed and widely anthologized earlier works as well that were also written during "the desert period." A section of tanka, a favorite poem form of the author, concludes this slim volume in an often whimsical way exploring the topics of life, love, and death. In addition to the beautifully designed and packaged text by artist Robert R. Burke, readers are given access to more than 40 minutes of the poet's video readings of the works via QR Codes and URLs. Author's Preface For most of my adult life I have been a beekeeper, or as we still rather quaintly say, a "keeper of bees." For over a decade in Colorado, before moving to Mexico, I made a humble but sweet living through the efforts of the bees and through the grace of the sun and the wealth of desert flowers and the Colorado River which provided water both to me and the bees. It would be more accurate to say the bees were a keeper of me, providing me not only with income in the conventional sense but more importantly those riches and the inspiration that for me come only through long solitude. Indeed, "The Alphabet of Longing" and some of the other poems here arrived at my door only after years of life in the high desert regions of western Colorado. Out of these blessed years came a reconnection to flowers deep inside of me, to secret sources of honey I had almost forgotten, and with this reconnection I discovered how much I loved certain people. Their fragrances still often drift over me in sleep. Early praise for The Alphabet of Longing and Other Poems "It becomes clear within the first poetic lines of James Tipton's newly released collection, The Alphabet of Longing and Other Poems, that the reader is about to embark on a remarkable journey, not only through the letters of the English-language alphabet that provide an ingenious scaffold for the title poem, but also through considerably more than twenty-six facets of human experience, each of them deeply felt and richly rendered." --El Ojo del Lago

Banners of Longing is a collection of sixty-four reflective and religious poems divided into four categories: Seasons, Sinners, Personae, and Meditations. These poems will move, console, inspire, and enlighten the reader prepared to appreciate religious and reflective verse. The poems in this collection examine everyday experiences, events, and perceptions in the light of faith. They also look—sometimes with wry humor—at familiar biblical characters in a twenty-first-century light. The collection as a whole presents a spirituality of presence, gratitude, and graceful living in the world. Including selected poems from the author’s earlier collection, Anno Domini, Banners of Longing acknowledges its many debts to such religious poets as Gerard Manley Hopkins, Mary Oliver, Denise Levertov, and Dana Gioia. The spiritual influence of contemporary theologian Elizabeth Johnson and the late Cistercian monk and spiritual writer, Thomas Merton, are also unmistakable. Many of these poems first appeared in such distinguished journals as Spiritus, Parabola, and the famed Jesuit journal, Review for Religious.

In every life, darkness can come; you can suffer a loss or realize that life is finite. Yet there is always and everywhere, hope, expectation and joy. All this "light longing" can tear man apart. The author, through her poems, is pointing out that Light. The power of poetry is that there is a lot being said about the deeper emotions of the faith with just a few words. A great empathy is felt in the poems. The reader will often identify with the words within the poems-words that can express what is within a man.

There is a beauty in sadness, for it is the darkness without which you cannot appreciate the light. In my mid-20's, I went through a period of extreme pain and sadness. I faced one heartbreak after another, until I felt I would burst or fall to pieces. During that time, poetry was one of the few things that helped keep me together. These poems are the actual poems I wrote during those few years when pain was everywhere I turned. But through it all, I clung to hope... hope that things would change, hope that it would all be better someday, somehow. I was right, but I couldn't know that then. I could only hope. That hope carried me through to where I am today, and you can see it peeking out in these poems, though it is sometimes buried by sadness. To me, these poems are like a journal of not just my pain - which seems so far away now it's almost like a vivid dream - but also my strength, my hope, the belief I clung to, the triumph I experienced in coming out the other side into beautiful brightness. It is a record of part of what made me who I am today. If you are in a place of sadness, my wish is for these poems to show you that you are not alone, and to show you that as deep as my pain was, today my life is full of joy and brightness... and if it happened for me, it can happen for you. There is always hope.

Love, passion, and nature come alive in Sara Teasdale's 'Love Songs'. With simple yet poignant language, Teasdale explores the beauty and pain of love, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1918. Her work speaks to the universal human experience of love, from the joy of first love to the anguish of heartbreak. Although she tragically took her own life, her legacy lives on through her romantic and passionate poetry, which continues to resonate with readers today. Here's an excerpt from 'But Not to Me': "The April night is still and sweet / With flowers on every tree / Peace comes to them on quiet feet / But not to me."
