Excerpt from Opening Buds: A Collection of Poems Kind Reader: I come before you, not as a poetess, but as an humble rhymer, and trust yon will find something to commend in my little book and, also, that you will say nothing of its errors. These Poems - at least the greater part of them - were written while attending school, under the age of fifteen, and were the fruits of a few idle moments gleaned here and there. They were written chiefly for my own amusement, and not with a view of placing them where they now stand, before a criticising public. Hoping that favorable winds and tides may safely waft my little bark across the great literary sea, I now launch it, asking the help of kind and indulgent friends when adverse winds and waves seek to "drive my vessel a wreck."

Excerpt from Opening Buds In presenting this little volume to the public, it may not be amiss to state that many of the pieces of which it is composed, were written amid the pressure of business, as a relaxation to the author's mind - some of which have found their way into the pages of the magazines and newspapers of the day. If, therefore, this volume may in the smallest degree prove useful to any who shall give it a reading, he will think himself amply compensated for his labor, and will not be moved by the censure of the critic. - There may be faults in these compositions, which a little more care and attention would have tended to obviate. But with all their imperfections, they are presented to a candid public, who will, it is presumed, treat them as their merits may deserve.

Wounded Bud - Poems for Meditation by Alfred K. LaMotte The poet Shelley wrote: "Every original language near to its source is the chaos of a cyclic poem... A poet participates in the eternal, the infinite, and the one." Ancient cultures recognized that the mystery of creation is the mystery of "original language." So John's Gospel declares, "In the beginning was the Word." And India's Mandukya Upanishad says, "All that ever was, is, or will be is created through the syllable Om." The poems in this volume reflect this ancient science of mantra. "Man" is the Sanskrit root of the English "mind" and "tra" of our suffix "tron," meaning vehicle. A mantra is a vehicle to carry the mind back to the source of creation, divine silence. Here in the heart, love awakens. Fred LaMotte conceives language in this ancient tradition, where poetry is a means of taking us home, taking us Om. Many of these poems also reflect the tradition of the mystical marriage. Poets of Eastern and Western religions understood the intimate play of soul and spirit as the whisperings of Lover and Beloved. They created a common poetic iconography, a love-language both sensuous and mystical, which we find in Sufi poets like Hafiz, Hindu poets like Mirabai, the Biblical Song of Songs, the Medieval troubadours, and the parables of Jesus. Mystical poetry can dis- solve religious conflict. Fred LaMotte offers us a revival of atavistic poetics: poetry as meditation, poetry as devotion, or Bhakti, poetry as love-song in the Bridal Chamber of the heart. "In the lover's heart is a lute which plays the melody of longing." Rumi

“A visual treat as well as a literary one…for gardeners and garden lovers, connoisseurs of botanical illustration, and those who seek a deeper understanding of the life and work of Emily Dickinson.” —The Wall Street Journal Emily Dickinson was a keen observer of the natural world, but less well known is the fact that she was also an avid gardener—sending fresh bouquets to friends, including pressed flowers in her letters, and studying botany at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke. At her family home, she tended both a small glass conservatory and a flower garden. In Emily Dickinson’s Gardening Life, award-winning author Marta McDowell explores Dickinson’s deep passion for plants and how it inspired and informed her writing. Tracing a year in the garden, the book reveals details few know about Dickinson and adds to our collective understanding of who she was as a person. By weaving together Dickinson’s poems, excerpts from letters, contemporary and historical photography, and botanical art, McDowell offers an enchanting new perspective on one of America’s most celebrated but enigmatic literary figures.
