Warm yourself with contemplative emotions and humerous Native American views on daily life. There are prose poems creating a sense of self within Nature; free-form poetry making one contemplate life in "the chase" and whether it's all worth the price; poems of death and poems of life; there are even poems that will make you think everytime you enter a bar or restaurant as you gaze into the lives of the staff and entertainers who grace us with their time and efforts. Treat yourself to a different experience where each poem relates to the next, then try to guess which ones were written by whcih author. Enjoy!

The Nazarene Gospel Restored is Robert Graves's major work on the life of Jesus, written in collaboration with the distinguished Hebrew scholar Joshua Podro.

Collectively, they illustrate the vitality of the topic, both in its own right and as a means of understanding the complexity and range of seventeenth-century English poetry.
