Presents illustrated versions of well-known poems written by one of America's most renowned poets.

H.D’s writing continues to inspire generations of readers. Bringing together a number of never-before-published essays, this new collection of H.D.’s writings introduces her compelling perspectives on art, myth, and the creative process. While H.D. is best known for her elemental poetry, which draws heavily on the imagery of natural and ancient worlds, her critical writings remain a largely underexplored and unpublished part of her oeuvre. Crucial to understanding both the formative contexts surrounding her departure from Imagism following the First World War and her own remarkable creative vision, Notes on Thought and Vision, written in 1918, is one of the central works in this collection. H.D. guides her reader to the untamed shores of the Scilly Isles, where we hear of powerful, transformative experiences and of her intense relationship with the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. The accompanying essays, many published here for the first time, help color H.D.’s astute critical engagement with the past, from the city of Athens and the poetry of ancient Greece. Like Letters to a Young Painter (2017), also published in the ekphrasis series, this collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the creative process.

Jackie's journey into the unravelling mysteries of the spiritual realm started as a casual glance into her clairvoyant skills, a cute hobby, to pass the evenings away. The Angels had other plans. This story is the unravelling of the information, about the spiritual world through her eyes, as she discovers more about herself, her gifts, and her visions that turned into poetry. Written as a firsthand, introductory account of her awakening spiritual awareness, this book is set in a semi biography format, interlaced with spiritually inspired poetry. The reader is ushered through a variety of personal life lessons that eventually lead into discovering Love, Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Truth. Jackie shares with us experiences, which lead her to feel directed to share the messages, the questions, and inspirational thoughts that came through. The reader is encouraged to ask questions, and form their own opinions as Jackie's quest for knowledge opens the doors for people to explore their own views and experiences about the spiritual realm, and to learn more about the Truth of who they are.
