Art of 4 Elements

★ 4.6

Nataša Pantović

Art of 4 Elements Spiritual Poetry Book.
Discover Alchemy through Poetry and Love through Alchemy.

Four artists, a poet Nataša Pantović, a photographer Christine Cutajar, and two painters Jason Lu and Jeni Caruana, worked together to create The Art of Four Elements book with 120 art works and 120 poems. The poetry acted as an inspiration for the work of the artists: each one of them chose 40 poems and created the art work based on the theme and the ‘vibe' of the poems.

The poetry, the photography, the drawings, you will find in the Art of 4 Elements book attempt to deeper explore the infinite game of Life, through the exploration of:

Earth that is fixed, rigid, static and quiet, and symbolizes the world of senses;
Water that is the primordial Chaos, is fluidity and flexibility, and symbolizes the world of emotions;
Air that has no shape and is incapable of any fixed form. It is a symbol of thoughts.
Fire that is boundless and invisible, and is a parching heat that consumes all, or within its highest manifestation, becomes the expression of Divine Love; and
Spirit that stands at the center of the four elements as an Essence, an Observer, Consciousness coming forth to experience the magic of Life.

The Years Distilled: Verses

★ 4.74

Dennis Sharpe

The Years Distilled are the verses from twenty years of spoken word and performance poetry on stages and in coffee houses around the United States. While the collection only represents a small fraction of the writing done over two decades (1990-2010) it is an almost complete collection of the pieces performed. The ranting and rambling contained within this book is often juvenile, sometimes petty, and commonly complaining; however all the works are all born of passion.

The people and places that inspired the words between these covers are too numerous to mention individually, but they are all held very dear. It is because these souls, times, and locations have touched so deeply that a permanent mark was left. These memories are now yours to share, for what they're worth.

These are all very different works of varied style and subject matter, plucked at random from a collection of writing. They are in no order whatsoever. What is the common thread? Everyone one of them was written to be performed, and with only two exceptions, they all have been.

Crank

★ 4.16

Ellen Hopkins

In Crank, Ellen Hopkins chronicles the turbulent and often disturbing relationship between Kristina, a character based on her own daughter, and the "monster," the highly addictive drug crystal meth, or "crank." Kristina is introduced to the drug while visiting her largely absent and ne'er-do-well father. While under the influence of the monster, Kristina discovers her sexy alter-ego, Bree: "there is no perfect daughter, / no gifted high school junior, / no Kristina Georgia Snow. / There is only Bree." Bree will do all the things good girl Kristina won't, including attracting the attention of dangerous boys who can provide her with a steady flow of crank.

The Poetry of Robert Frost

★ 4.24

Robert Frost

The only comprehensive gathering of Frost's published poetry, this affordable volume offers the entire contents of his eleven books of verse, from A Boy's Will (1913) to In the Clearing (1962). Frost scholar Lathem, who was also a close friend of the four-time Pulitzer Prize-winner, scrupulously annotated the 350-plus poems in this collection, which has been the standard edition of Frost's work since it first appeared in 1969.

Howl and Other Poems

★ 4.13

Allen Ginsberg

A beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. The apocalyptic "Howl" became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956 -- its vindication was a watershed moment in twentieth-century history. Dark, ecstatic and rhapsodic, "Howl" shows why Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century.

Howl and Other Poems is a collection of Ginsberg's finest work, including "Howl," one of the principal works of the Beat Generation as well as "A Supermarket in California," "Transcription of Organ Music," "Sunflower Sutra," "America," "In the Baggage Room at Greyhound," and some of his earlier works.

Something Will Change Me: Poems of Soul and Spirit

★ 4.39

Don Hynes

Poems That Listen to the Earth—and to Your SoulSomething Will Change Me is a stirring collection of 100 poems that echo with the earth’s deepest music—crashing waves, quiet forests, ancient stone, and the subtle movements of the human heart.

Don Hynes explores the natural world not as scenery but as a spiritual companion. His poems rise from memory, longing, and dream-vision, carrying the reader into a contemplative space where inner and outer landscapes begin to merge.

More than nature poems, these are soul-messages—speaking across past, present, and imagined lifetimes. In the tradition of Mary Oliver and William Stafford, Hynes writes with a gentle clarity that invites you to listen for your own place in the world, and the person you are becoming.

A book for anyone seeking beauty, reflection, and a deeper way of seeing.
