BOOK DESCRIPTION: Mark Chandos is a modern American poet and philosopher, also known by name Mark Staber Kobo with his bestselling poetry book Greatest Living Poet, that has worn Best Critics choice prize in 2010. Chandos Ring : Death Star Earth is the first book of a trilogy titled Exodus from Sapiens. This is a sensational masterwork of modern American epic poetry and philosophy of a space. It tells a story of Aaron, the last living member of a ruthless political dynasty responsible for the extinction of many non-Western nations of a dying Earth. His intent is to create a race of men able to live without a carbon and oxygen base. The Aarons companion to Jupiter is Talon, the greatest scientific mind of his age The result would be creating a genetically new human magus creature called Homo faustus Ultimately, Aaron discovers the alien source of human life Recognized for its idiomatic perfection and elegance of style, the epic poem Chandos Ring is a strange new reconstruction of human life that crosses modern science fiction, religion, physics, and philosophy Previous to the poem, in his philosophical introduction Unfinished Consciousness, Mark Chandos revolutionizes previous Western philosophy and reveals the hidden truth of our civilization. I have crossed my meridian voyage, where human becomes visible idiom, and so their fears. I dig the tar cave of fossil rune, where ghosts of space, time, and men coil in somatic prescience. I will rise deep in winter with no alarm, not once to follow substance of moth-winged men glazed with light. I lay down structure embedded with my selection, joy and fear reduced to equal fonts. Since if by sentience I am cognizant, then by sentience equally I annul a slur of cognizance. We make nothing that we do not spend, exhaust, and pasteurize. So I will make this sprint. If I cry counter idiom, who will survive to prevent me? Those that accept death? I drain time and element of insolvent fear, reducing bleached bones of shrill alarm to light totem on my eye.

The poems in Dreaming of Stones are about what endures: hope and desire, changing seasons, wild places, love, and the wisdom of mystics. Inspired by the poet’s time living in Ireland these readings invite you into deeper ways of seeing the world. They have an incantational quality. Drawing on her commitment as a Benedictine oblate, the poems arise out of a practice of sitting in silence and lectio divina, in which life becomes the holy text. No stranger to poetry, Paintner’s bestselling spirituality titles have often included poems. In this first exclusively poetic collection, she writes with a contemplative heart about kinship with nature, ancestral connections, intimacy, the landscape, the unfolding nature of time, and Christian mystics. It can be read for reflection to spark the heart and to offer solace and inspiration in difficult times. Breath This breathing in is a miracle, this breathing out, release, this breathing in a welcome to the unseen gifts which sustain me each moment, this breathing out a sweet sigh, a bow to my mortality, this breathing in a holy yes to life, this breathing out a sacred no to all that causes me to clench and grasp, this breathing in is a revelation, this breathing out, freedom.

The Modernist Response to Chinese Art is a work of both erudition and sympathy that reveals the root of modernist poets' otherwise baffling interest in and use of Chinese art. Most impressive, perhaps, is the depth of their embrace of it, as Qian has so convincingly documented. --Patricia C. Williams.

In this, the only full-length study of the visual poetry of the early twentieth century, Willard Bohn expertly illuminates the works of Apollinaire, Josep-Maria Junow, Guillermo de Torre, and others. His fascinating aesthetic insights bring to life this elusive and often misunderstood genre. "An important contribution. Highly sophisticated, the study tends to raise its reader's impression of visual poetry in the twentieth century from trivial pastime to serious preoccupation."—Eric Sellin, Journal of Modern Literature "With his definitive analyses full of quotable observations and sharp critical insights, Bohn has provided a model, pioneering study, one from which current and future studies of visual poetry will most certainly benefit."—Gerald J. Janacek, Romance Quarterly "Bohn substantiates his thesis with thoughtful and often ingenious explications of texts both well known and hard to find. . . . Aesthetics of Visual Poetry is a thoroughly researched, beautifully written and fascinating introduction to an infinitely intriguing genre."—Mechthild Cranston, French Review
