Poetic Inspiration

POETIC INSPIRATION is the poet's third poetry book, which is meant to inspire and encourage people of all walks of life, on their journey through life. It's a collection of fifty religious poems that address the following topics: Satan, Disobedience/Trials/Deliverance, Faith/Trust/Repentance, Heaven and the Second Coming. It's the writer's testimony of her praise to God, through her own trials and tribulations. Her first poetry book, POETIC EXPERIENCE is available through PublishAmerica.com, Barnes&Noble.com, and Amazon.com. And her second poetry book, THE POETIC CONNECTION is available through AuthorHouse.com, Barnes&Noble.com, and Amazon.com.

The sites of inspiration documented in this book range from nineteenth century linguistic theory to postmodern strategies of conceptual writing, encompassing well known instances of modernist poetics (Mallarmé, Pound, Olson) alongside obscure but revealing figures like Otto Nebel and Henri-Martin Barzun.

In this subtle, learned, and daring book, Claude Calame subverts common assumptions about the relationships between poet and audience, challenging his readers to rethink the very principles of mythmaking in the poetry and art of the ancient Greeks.

Poetic Inspiration Peace, Wisdom, and Treasure Poetic Inspiration Peace, Wisdom, and Treasure is dedicated to Bishop Calvin Davis, Sr. and Bishop Leslie Edwards, whose words will always remain inspirational. Their manner of life had a profound effect on many people and several members of Pentecostal Way of Truth wanted to share some of the treasures that was given to them. Both mens words of wisdom had a way of springing beyond troubles and instilled a sense of peace that became our inspiration in our everyday life. As a way to show others how they inspired us, we created a poetry book as a fundraiser to keep their vision alive. Their vision was to expand our organization in our community. They were creating a place where people from all walks of life could be educated, while having the freedom to express their culture through dance, arts, and language.
