Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It was the first mega church known around the world for its Kingdom theology, excellent musical expressions, dramatic presentations, integrated congregation, and the massive neo-gothic sanctuary called the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit.

The authors, Bishop Kirby and Sandra Clements, remained a part of the ministry until the very end and the remaining leaders and remnant congregation relocated to another site. This is their record. It answers some fundamental questions and provides wisdom and understanding. This is not a record of scandals but their observations of the grace and mercy of the Lord and the stewardship of a people. Come and navigate the journey with them. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. H. T. Kirby-Smith offers a far-ranging and intellectually engaging study of the literary history of the debated genre of free verse, aimed not at perpetuating a particular dispute but instead at discovering the generative points of this often celebrated, often maligned form.Though free verse became a dominant poetic mode only in the twentieth century, Kirby-Smith finds its roots in seventeenth-century England. Beginning his study with writers such as John Milton--who was considered by T. S. Eliot to be the greatest writer of free verse in English--the author places recent and divisive topics in poetics in context, showing them to be attenuated remnants of issues first broached hundreds of years ago.The book seeks to establish a consensus on the nature of free verse, with reference to critics and poets including Pound, Eliot, Williams, Amy Lowell, Yvor Winters, and Hugh Kenner. Good free verse, argues Kirby-Smith, arises as a reaction to a well-established set of conventions. Likewise, The Origins of Free Verse goes against the conventions of existing poetic scholarship, offering an encompassing yet fresh--and controversial--literary history of free verse.At moments, this study is revelatory. . . . In its range and detail it offers a way of thinking about the history of English-language prosody which recognizes the importance of the poet's individual choices and undercuts our century's vanity. . . . Poetry is a learned art, and Kirby-Smith brings both insight and much learning to reading it. --Times Literary SupplementThe best study of free verse I have seen. . . . The Origins of Free Verse is a book that all students of prosody will want to read. --Harvard Review. . . a witty and polemical account of the emergence and development of free verse. --ChoiceH. T.
