Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The spirit of an old woman appeared like a mist floating across the stained glass window of St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church. Her body was translucent, as fragile as rice paper. Loose strands of white hair fell about the deep wrinkles of her face. She called Ted Jones' name. She gestured for him to come closer. She spoke in Russian-accented English. 'Please help my granddaughter,' she pleaded. 'Sherry needs you.' The old woman descended, sweeping past the granite stones of the church, and took hold of Ted's arms. She pulled at them with a tugging that wasn't as strong as that of an embodied human being. 'Help my Sherry!' the woman cried with greater urgency. Ted heard the more substantial voice of a young woman about his age. He turned to see a living person bending on the sidewalk in front of the church. She was buckling the ankle strap on one of her pumps. She looked up and saw him. 'Hello,' she said. 'Beautiful day, isn't it ' Her voice like an oboe, reedy, pleased his ear. The highlights of her shoulder-length auburn curls glinted in the sun. Her skin tones were creamy, her eyes a warm brown. 'Sherry's a good girl. Don't forget that when she tests you,' the old woman interjected, tugging at him from behind. Ted Jones, campus chaplain and English Professor in a downtown Denver University, doesn't need more problems. His life has been full of them. More than a few of the clergy seem to think of the church as a sex club, and many of the powerful in the university are vipers. At thirty-three, Ted has ignored the sexual advances of both the Episcopal Cathedral Dean and the Chairman of his Department-married men, who because of his rejection, try to nail him on every cross they can find. Still idealistic and inexperienced in love, Ted finds an intelligent and educated woman, named Sharon irresistible, though constantly puzzling. Eventually Sharon reveals that she was sexually abused as a girl by her priest. She's never found the steadfast love that Ted offers in any of the men who've passed through the hole in her belly like that of a Henry More sculpture. Ted soon becomes involved with Sharon, the deceased woman's grown granddaughter. Damaged though she is, Sharon responds, trying to return the steadfast love that Ted offers. After her grandmother died, she lost that capacity in herself and couldn't find it in any of the people who professed to love her. Although Sharon and Ted's trials are multiple, their love forms the crux of the novel. Such love reaches beyond time and space as we normally conceive them, to involve intersecting planes of existence that touch both past and future.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What Body You still believe the body is a temple for the spirit Then read Thomas Ramey Watson and be delighted and appalled with him! The Necessity of Symbols plays again and again on the sacredness of the body-the body in love, the body in ecstasy of spirit and memory, even the body of Christ in communion. Like the forgotten troubadours, the poet gives a credible poetic ground that loving the beloved's body is close to loving God, or at least appreciating the universe. 'Knot Intrinsicate' celebrates a woman's power: I am seventeen- you, soft-voiced Guenevere. But a Russian doll, you held inside Mary, hawk of Catholicism, and Cleopatra, salad of the crescent world: eaten-undone-whole again. In a long poem that summarizes loss of job, loss of wife, loss of environment (Colorado), the poet holds psalms and songs in memory step by step of the way, shoring up the many threats to his spiritual life ('A Book of Hours'): My mind stayed on echoes: whether one eats God's words, or wakes within them- does upheaval always follow In the poem, 'Holy Communion,' the poet does not scruple to equate the host with two lovers, who, as the poem progresses are separated, however, with the finite limits between them implicitly contrasted to God's infinite love: 'Broken from you, / I am set on a shelf.' However, the lover remains an inspiration: Rising past the fragrance of ankles and thighs, lingering on chest and neck, to pause on tiny moles like cinnamon sprinkled about your mouth that explored with words, and tongue, and smile, then to those eyes, brown as buttered crust on fresh-baked bread; still I hear your voice, yeasty, low. These are fine points of a book with a broad sweep-poems about family, poems contrasting the poet's native Denver with the signal cultural meccas of Europe, poems most often of joy. The range is admirable and the poems intricate and dedicated to spiritual growth, with creation the touchstone where reality is tested and embodied. Alan Naslund, author of Silk Weather.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Love Threads can be a painful book because it is about a hurtful relationship, but more important, it is a clear call to love and to love even when there is difficulty. A clear call to love spiritually and in body. It is essentially a transcendent calling, an ecstatic one-and a genuine journey of love.These are poems whose obscurity win their way graciously with resonances that wistfully suggest sweetness and light without identifying many specifics or concrete manifestations of the sacred other. These poems make up invocations that appeal through the plausible and very humane nexus of dream, or vision, and longing. Continual hope for something solid that never appears or makes itself known in features that are not quite enough to satisfy a strong undercurrent of almost ambiguous desire. The poet makes clear his romantic trajectory in the early poems. It is not long before most readers will know where they are, as long as we are amenable to some real ambiguities of image and style. The title, 'Beta' of the opening poem, seems to denote, as in physics, a variable, the speaker's other coruscating from the first words of the book. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The secrets of the ultimate temple of old Israel, radical, personal renewing in this world, a glass house, another garden, even a revisiting of Tao-the windup poems of this collection pull toward a general summation of spirit. . . . The world is as it has been in the rest of the book, but it is rather left behind-caught up in greater concerns. In some sense, these more expansive spiritual realms are also higher than the dear but desperate strife of the journey of the troubled relationship itself. They are the Alpha from which the entire journey begins. And where it ends.Alan Naslund, author of Silk Weather.…
