In Remembrance of Future Present
This collection was first published by Poetry Monthly Press in 2005 and has been recently revised. I am told I am old-fashioned, that my poems speak of a bygone age. Perhaps they do, but I prefer to think of them as timeless. One of them, The Dreamtime, is exactly about living in that timeless dream state, a state of conscious creation. When we go within and the heart speaks perhaps it will speak a language that resonates with a time past or perhaps a time future? All I know is that I wrote myself a path out of my own personal darkness and this is meant to be an intimate sharing, not a grandiose one. The title In Remembrance of Future Present is taken from one of the poems in this collection...
The Cougar
YOUNG TOURIST ON VACATION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA FALLS FOR A MYSTERIOUS OLDER WOMAN AND GETS MORE THAN SHE BARGAINS FOR: Beautiful woman by day, blood lusting cougar by night, Berenice is the guardian of an ancient knowledge. She has lived through many ages of man, a solitary creature who yearns for a love lost long ago. The Canadian forest provides a last safe refuge for Berenice and here she meets a tourist couple hoping to renew their fading marriage on a wilderness camping adventure. All is not as it seems when her desire to protect is aroused by a sense of great danger lurking for the woman, Angela, who is irresistibly attracted to her. "The Cougar" is an erotic, Gothic romance about the need for love that drives us all and the many forms love can take. This story contains some explicit love scenes.
The Tenderness of Mountains
"You will know them from their absence, the quiet ones, those left behind will feel the loss! Holes left large in the water of time with steady hand withdrawn they pass to an Unknown next big show...." Poetry is often a way of coming to terms with the darker mind and many of the poems here deal with loss, a theme that grows in importance as we journey through life. To write positive poetry has been my aim in the past. However, loss teaches us so much that it is a shame we were not born knowing the things it teaches - the world might be a happier place if we were. Yet such is Karma and the journey is all we have. The poems as always are written in Love and I hope you find something in my ramblings, something of hope perhaps. The title of the collection reflects my father's love for mountains. The image is one of my own, taken from the lake in Golden Ears Provincial Park a place he never visited but would have loved. This collection is dedicated to his memory.
Claude Debussy Petite Suite for Guitar Trio With Tab
Claude Debussy's Petite Suite was composed between 1886 and 1889 after a commission by Durand for piano music for skilled amateurs. It was first performed in 1889 by Debussy and Durand together. The four movements transcribed in this full score are: En Bateau, Cortege, Menuet and Ballet. I have always loved this piece because of its lush melodies, sheer exuberance and timeless quality. It has been transcribed for many orchestral and chamber groups in the past, but I felt it lent itself especially well to guitar trio. I made this arrangement to bring it to a modern generation of skilled amateurs, this time on acoustic guitar. TAB is provided to help with note placement. Individual movements and parts are available via my Score Exchange page (Lisa Marie Gabriel) and back tracks are also for sale on Tradebit (Persimew).
A Whisper of the Romantic in the Eye of God
""Even now we're One Inseparable by Oceans in our bliss A whisper of the Romantic In the Eye of God..."" The first step to freedom, happiness and full self-actualization is to love ourselves with total acceptance. Without making that step we are not fully capable of loving others. This poetry is about awakening to Love. It is about full acceptance and the abundance that follows....
On Wenlock Edge - 100 Years On
Vaughan Williams is a favourite composer of mine. My introduction to his music came at the age of eight when I sat at my father's feet spellbound by the shivery sounds of the Tallis Fantasia. This book is my own study of the songs of Ralph Vaughan Williams. It was first written in 1979 and I am publishing it celebrate the centennial of the first performance of Vaughan Williams' masterpiece, On Wenlock Edge, in the Aeolian Hall, London, by tenor Gervase Elwes and the Schwiller Quartet with Frederick Kiddle (piano) 0n 15th November 1909. lts reception was mixed at the time as it was so new and impressionistic for a world used to Stanford, Parry and the great German tradition. I hope music lovers will be with me in spirit in my celebration of a truly wonderful piece of music and if you have not yet made its acquaintance that this book might stir your interest in listening to or performing it.
Indigenous Poetics in Canada
Indigenous Poetics in Canada broadens the way in which Indigenous poetry is examined, studied, and discussed in Canada. Breaking from the parameters of traditional English literature studies, this volume embraces a wider sense of poetics, including Indigenous oralities, languages, and understandings of place. Featuring work by academics and poets, the book examines four elements of Indigenous poetics. First, it explores the poetics of memory: collective memory, the persistence of Indigenous poetic consciousness, and the relationships that enable the Indigenous storytelling process. The book then explores the poetics of performance: Indigenous poetics exist both in written form and in relation to an audience. Third, in an examination of the poetics of place and space, the book considers contemporary Indigenous poetry and classical Indigenous narratives. Finally, in a section on the poetics of medicine, contributors articulate the healing and restorative power of Indigenous poetry and narratives.
