Poems Of Dedication

“Remembering Keats” is a brand-new collection of poetry and essays by various authors dedicated to English Romantic poet John Keats (1795–1821). Together with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he was a key figure during the second generation of Romantic poets most famous for such poems as "Sleep and Poetry", “Ode to a Nightingale", and "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer". Keats died at the age of 25 from tuberculosis, only four years after the first publication of his works. Despite not being praised by critics during his short life, Keats has since become one of the most celebrated English poets to have ever lived. Contents include: “Keats, by James Russell Lowell”, “On the Promise of Keats, by George Edward Woodberry”, “A Reading in the Letters of John Keats, by Leon H. Nincent”, “Keats, by Barnette Miller”, “Keats, by Edmund Clarence Stedman”, “Adonais, by Percy Bysshe Shelley”, “Keats, by Frances A. Fuller”, “The Poet Keats”, “Keats, by Richard Watson Gilder”, “For the Anniversary of John Keats's Death, by Sara Teasdale”, and “Keats – A Sonnet, by Florence Earle Coates”. A fantastic collection of assorted writings that will appeal to poetry lovers and those with a particular interest in the life and work of this incredible literary figure. Ragged Hand is publishing this brand new collection of classic writings now complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

JOURNEYS OF THE HEART AND DEDICATION POEMS reflect my journeys through my life, both sad and happy times. The book is divided into two parts because the second part Dedication Poems is especially dedicated to the special people who have touched my life. Most of the poems, in both sections were written in college. However, the newer poems in both sections reflect the importance of my current relationships and how, now, I have a true sense of peace in my life.

So Thankful is about overcoming adversity. I am so very thankful to God for helping me endure, and also for allowing me to write this second book. I’m still dealing with some adversity, but that’s okay. I’m still here! Remember, in the book of Ecclesiastes 9:4 it says, ‘a living dog is better than a dead lion’. I’ m alive and there is still hope for me and you. We all just need to believe! I would love to hear from you regarding your thoughts about my book. My e-mail address is, ‘[email protected]’. Thank you and May God continue to bless you.

Dedicated Poems to Our Loved Ones in Heaven represents all the emotions at play when there is sudden death. My inspiration for doing this book was due to my parents passing away suddenly. I had all these emotions going on and wanted to share the grief with others who have lost loved ones. We must always remember that our loved ones never die, but always live on in our hearts, and these poems do come directly from the heart. I didn’t feel grief straight away. Then all these poems started to come to me. It was like my parents were communicating to me to do it. My dad was so happy when I was going to get married that he bought me my dress. But he couldn’t walk me down the aisle, as he passed away before the big day. My husband-to-be Tony and I decided to hold the wedding on my dad’s birthday. My mum ended up giving me away with my sister Ann as my bridesmaid. We did not forget my dad that day and raised a glass to wish him a happy birthday and wish he was with us. Please enjoy and take comfort from these poems and remember that you are never alone in grief.
