Narrative Poems
$16.99C.S. Lewis often said that the narrative poem was his favorite form of literary expression, although he appears to have written just four, all of which are collected in this volume. Of these, only “Dymer” was published in his lifetime. These four poems exhibit the romantic aspects of Lewis’s temperment and reveal his deep love for the medieval of Renaissance poetry on which they are modeled.

Personal Heresy : A Controversy
$16.99A repackaged edition of the revered author’s set of dueling critical essays with fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard in which they debate the role of an author’s biography in the critical appraisal of literature. C. S. Lewis–the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics–challenges fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard on one of the most intriguing questions involving writers and writing. Is a work of imaginative literature primarily influenced by the author or by the subject matter? Lewis argues that the author’s own personality and biography has little to no impact on the writing, while Tillyard contends the opposite: that the author’s own imagination and story have an indelible influence on a piece of work. Clever, erudite, and enlightening, their debate may not definitively settle the issue, but it does offer invaluable insight and intellectual delight for all dedicated readers”

For Better Or For Verse
$13.26So tiny and helpless, so sweet and so mild,
so dependent and loving-this beautiful child.
A gem, a jewel, a precious pearl-
such a wonderful gift, this little girl.
I can reduce any man to a weeping pile,
but all it takes is that little smile,
and now I’m mush …-Tom Gusky
Tom Gusky does not believe in fifty dollar words or mysterious hidden messages in his poetry. Instead, he prefers to share a tender and sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrical view of life that reflects on the bonds of family love, the trials and joys of raising children, and the experiences that draw all of us closer to God.
Tom injects humor and emotion in poems for the masses that reflect on his observations about the pilot of his family’s ship as well as an angel in diapers, the face of God, the cycle of life, and the journey of a man as he ages. Throughout each verse, Tom offers gentle reminders about the important things in life: faith, family, and unconditional love.
For Better or for Verse shares a collection of thought-provoking poetry as one man looks back on all the joys and sorrows of a life well lived.

Sorry For Your Troubles
$17.99One of the most engaging voices contemporary spirituality in is that of the Irish poet, Padraig OTuama. This second poetry collection arises out of a decade of his hearing stories of people who have lived through personal and political conflict in Northern Ireland, the Middle East and other places of conflict. These poems tell stories of individuals who have lived through conflict: their loves and losses, their hope and generosity. One poem, Shaking hands was written when Padraig witnessed the historic handshake between Queen Elizabeth II and Martin McGuinness, who has since used the poem publicly. The phrase Sorry for your troubles is used all over Ireland. It comes directly from an Irish phrase, yet Irish has no word for bereavement – the word used is troibloid. So the phrase would be better translated Sorry for your bereavements. With this in mind, this new book speaks evocatively about a time when thousands of people lost their lives and many thousands more lived through the searing pain of grief.
