The Sign of the North: Poems
The Poetry of Lifting Potatoes To ask a farmer of poetry is a strange request, worse yet a potato farmer. I have known Horia for a long time, to a time before either of us imagined being grandfathers. We were compatriots in what is the durable and subtle empire of the potato. He a researcher, I the actual dirtball. As fellow writers we were a touch odd for our earthy environment, whence came a certain compassion for each other. Of a poet caught, or perhaps trapped, in this hectic, grimy business of agriculture. As an essayist I’m not well mannered compared to the spare words of the poet. As a story writer I do approach words rather like a Lenco potato harvester comes to the harvest. In bul...
Saint Paisius Velichkovsky of Neamts and Paisianism
Saint Paisius Velichkovsky (1722-1794), also known as Saint Paisius of Neamts, lived a monastic life in Ukraine, Romania and Greece (Mt.Athos). He was a man of fervent prayer, a promoter of Jesus Prayer, an ascetic monk, the author of the first translation of Greek Philokalia, a teacher of spiritual improvement, a great reorganizer of large monastic communities, a wise and loving abbot, and a Saint with many outstanding gifts from God. By his work and writings, he ties in a marvelous manner the heritage of the Holy Fathers of fourth to fifteenth centuries to the three great hesychastic centers of the eighteen century (Mt.

Beethoven at 250
Beethoven's 250th anniversary falls at the end of a long period in which he has been under constant, relentless attacks by postmodern musicology. Scholars like Editha and Richard Sterba, Maynard Solomon, Susan McClary, Lawrence Kramer and others have speculated wildly along the lines of the modern "-isms," spreading falsehoods rather than pursuing new truths about Beethoven. Even his music, once hailed as a guiding light of humanity, has been under attack by modern-day feminism portraying it - Beethoven's music - as the epitome of "toxic masculinity" and a tool of oppressing patriarchy! These "novel" visions of Beethoven have become part of mainstream scholarship, without having been ever su...
Viata Maicii Domnului
Viata Maicii Doumnului, asa cum este cunoscuta in traditia bisericii ortodoxe. Scrisa intr-o frumoasa, calda si limpede curgatoare limba romaneasca cartea este deschisa tuturor si povesteste cele mai importante momente din viata Maicii Domnului (nasterea, intrarea in templu, bunavestire, nasterea Domnului, momente traite alaturi de Fiul sau dumnezeiesc si de patimile Lui, adormirea). Fiecare moment este insotit de un tropar, un condac si un irmos, ceea ce face posibila, pentru cei doritori de mai multa liniste sufleteasca, incheierea lecturii fiecarui capitol in meditatie si reculegere. Cartea mai cuprinde un capitol despre Praznicul Acoperamantului Maicii Domnului, invataturi despre tainele icoanei Maicii Domnului, cele mai cunoscute rugaciuni catre Sfanta Fecioara care pot fi memorate si folosite ca hrana de toate zilele a sufletului si cuvintele unui frumos cantec vechi romanesc. Prezentata intr-o foarte ingrijita tinuta grafica cu minunate icoane pe cele doua coperti, cartea poate fi un pretios dar pentru fiecare crestin de orice varsta.
