Songs of a Sourdough
In 'Songs of a Sourdough,' Robert W. Service immortalizes the rugged beauty of the Canadian Yukon during the heady times of the Klondike Gold Rush. Through a masterful tapestry of rhythm and rhyme, Service provides an unvarnished look at the wild northern frontier, its colorful characters, and the struggles and triumphs of its hopeful prospectors. His work is not merely a collection of poetry, but an intrinsic piece of the literary mosaic that illustrates the indomitable spirit of adventurers against a harsh and unforgiving landscape. Embedded within its stanzas lies the essence of the human condition—ambition, hardship, and the eternal quest for fortune. Robert W. Service, a bank clerk tu...
The Epic of Gesar of Ling
The Gesar of Ling epic is the Tibetan equivalent of The Arabian Nights. For hundreds of years, versions of it have been known in oral and written form in Tibet, China, Central Asia, and across the eastern Silk Route. King Gesar, renowned throughout these areas, represents the ideal warrior. As a leader with his people's loyalty and trust, he conquers all their enemies and protects the peace. His life story, which is full of miracles and magic, is an inspiration and a spiritual example to the people of Tibet and Central Asia even today; Gesar's warrior mask can be seen in the town square and on the door of homes in towns and villages throughout this area. As a Buddhist teaching story, the exa...

The Shambhala Anthology of Women's Spiritual Poetry celebrates the unique spiritual life of women through a rich selection of poetry written over the past four thousand years, from thirty-six different languages and cultures.

The Poems of Jesus Christ
The words of Jesus Christ are restored to their original poetic form in this extraordinary volume. Jesus Christ, whose teachings have been on the lips of millions for two millennia, is revealed here as one of the greatest poets of all time. What happened to deafen us to the poetic nature of his words? In migrating from Aramaic speech into written Greek translation, and later into English translation, the lyrics got locked up as prose. In The Poems of Jesus Christ Willis Barnstone unveils the essential poetry of the Gospels by taking the direct speech of Jesus from Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, and lineating and titling Jesus’s words as individual poems. Jesus’s poems are wisdom lyrics and narrative parables, rich with garden, animal, and nature imagery. Austere and poignant, they carry the totality of the Gospels’ message through the intensity of a single voice––the Gospel of Jesus.
