Paperback. Zustand: Good. Includes Study Guide This little book invites us to study with some ancient experts in prayer, the persons who wrote the Book of Psalms. We haven't read long in the psalms before we realize that the authors, like us, were altogether human, their lives marked by breathtaking highs and lows. But with all of that, they were saints who left us with the greatest collection of prayers in the possession of our human race. What was their secret? I believe it was the quality of their friendship with God. And of course the language of that friendship is prayer. The psalmists don't give us any formula for effective praying. They don't offer a set of rules. But if we read their prayers carefully, we will learn something of their secret, the secret of the Ultimate Friendship. -adapted from the Foreword.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Demands for justice. Prayers for healing, mercy, and protection. The call for enemies to embrace as brothers. Psalms for the Suffering Church takes readers into the hearts of the broken and those who suffer for the sake of Jesus Christ. These modern-day psalms give expression to the deep emotion of the persecuted believer, pastors, and the temptations of the church in modern North America. Even as Christians worldwide are called to be faithful to the point of death, there remains steadfast confidence in the resurrection of Jesus and the living hope to which we are called. May we be evermore reminded that whoever bears the cross will wear the crown of eternal life.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. On and beyond the horizon, Wellington's excursions into our body politic, psyche, purpose, and existence are multilayered and multifaceted. Content and craft are given equal time and focus. There is a nuanced reacquaintance with poetry's significance in Psalms at the Present Time. This poet chooses sturdy ethos and empowering authenticity. It is a worthwhile expedition.-Uche Nduka, Author of Living in Public and Facing YouAs a poet, playwright, performance artist, essayist and journalist, Darryl Lorenzo Wellington is a writer of many forms. But even his poetry presents a broad and multicultural aesthetic - spoken word, literary and verse forms, politics, and more. In Psalms at the Present Time, he is at his eclectic best. ** Death yawns stately. Death conjoins us. - whether we make music noise, love, or bourgeoisie war. Free assembly and funeral rites, these days, symbiotic, interchangeable.Siren sounds. We will not disappear ** we proceed like marionettescarried along on one string crowds of selfsame mouths our tongues chant now in unison the pitch like a cracked accordionthen canticle is cant and cry.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Alfred Nicol's Animal Psalms begins with the baseball field's organized uncertainties, and continues on many a trajectory of animal ruminations--with the human species well accounted for--ending in the imbalance of the everyday Nuts around us. The subjects include the elephant, snake, sheep, skunk, bee, couple dynamics, the trials and triumphs of the ruler or the everyman. This is a collection rich in aphorisms on the bright and shady spectra of our interactions. Recognizable soliloquies with the meditative self or dialogues with the beloved are unraveled for keen insights on the human condition--deconstructing them until the knotty connecting threads are exposed. Nicol gives us a mature collection of quiet reflection, with wit and wisdom deployed through finely crafted poems of masterly formal dexterity. PRAISE FOR ANIMAL PSALMS: Dear reader, I've fallen in love with this book, and that will happen to you too. Read, for instance, the very last poem, Nuts, and read the great How to Ignore an Invisible Man, and you're hooked forever. Read all the rest, these poems by Alfred Nicol which have our numbers, and have his own too, that tell about our lives, and his, and the lives of snakes, and bees, and elephants, with such humor, and pity, and praise, for all of us, human and animal, in our situations. It's impossible not to fall in love. --David Ferry, author of Bewilderment, winner of the National Book Award As the title Animal Psalms suggests, there is reverence here--a reverence that derives less from religion than from a religious attention to the things of the world, from baseball games to zoo elephants to the newly beloved. Nicol is a melodic writer, called first to the music of words, to speech that lets the sound/ carry the greater part of what is said. He's also a poet whose images you won't soon forget. They summon the real world and simultaneously render it otherworldly. While the poems offer moments of ecstatic escape, they're more often held in check by an Augustan wit, ironic humor and a touch of Baudelaire. Poise and wit prevail in these psalms; they give us both despair inflected by light and illumination held fast by darkness. --Erica Funkhouser, author of Earthly If we would only take the time to let one of Alfred Nicol's poems sink in through the brilliant latticed grid of its formal exterior, how the truth of what he has to say about the human condition would hit us the way a line drive whips toward you on a dreamy summer's afternoon, startling you back into the electric now. I love these poems because they evoke for me the zany, spiritual energy of the Beats welded as only a workman can work unwieldy things to the tempered grid of six centuries of formalism. Don't be surprised if--after reading these poems--you find them turning back to their true subject, dear reader, which turns out to be none other than you. --Paul Mariani, author of Epitaphs for the Journey ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Alfred Nicol's book of poetry, Elegy for Everyone, won the first Anita Dorn Memorial Prize. He received the Richard Wilbur Award for Winter Light. He has written lyrics in French and English for nine original compositions by classical/flamenco guitarist John Tavano. Their CD, The Subtle Thread, has received airplay on WMBR's program French Toast. Nicol's poems have appeared in Poetry, The Hopkins Review, Dark Horse, First Things, The New England Review, Commonweal, The Formalist, and other literary journals, as well as in Contemporary Poetry of New England and other anthologies. Animal Psalms was a finalist for the 2015 Able Muse Book Award.…
