Poetry. Translated into Polish by Adam Szyper. Stanley Kunitz views poetry as "the telling of the stories of the soul" and "a form of spiritual transformation." He eloquently states "If we want to know what it felt like to be alive at any given moment in the long odyssey of the race, it is to poetry we must turn." PASSING THROUGH won a National book award in 1995. This collection of the original work, side-by-side with the Polish translations, captures the dynamic spirit of a powerful voice. A summe cum laude graduate of Harvard, Kunitz has received numerous honors including the Pullitzer Prize, the National Endowment for the Arts Senior Fellowship, the Guggenheim Fellowship, the Walt Whitman Citation for Merit, the National Medal of Arts, and the Frost Medal, among others. Before his death in 2006, Kunitz taught for many years at Columbia University.

<p>Cultural Writing. Inspiration. With a foreword by Laura Huxley. SOUL SEEDS, an inspirational book of succinctly-expressed philosophical insights, accompanied by a series of intuitively imaginative drawings, provides a shift in perspective that awakens and frees the spirit when the mind is stuck in culturally-conditioned ways of thinking. It can help to transform fear into conscious creation, re-vitalize imagination, and renew a sense of wonder, romance and innocence. In this rushed world, the power of these insights is in their brevity; readers can peruse the book as they wish, even using it as an oracle by posing a question and then opening it at random to see what fresh insight may be gleaned, rather than reading it cover-to-cover. "Carolyn Mary Kleefeld writes from a well of perception that is rare and rises from deep within. Each observation, each short passage from her book SOUL SEEDS is a flash of insight that strikes to our very hearts"--Evelyne Blau.</p>

Your Lover's Beloved

<p>Poetry. Middle East Studies. Bilingual Edition translated from the Persian by Mahmood Karimi-Hakak and Bill Wolak. "The poetry of Hafez is pleasing, magical wine that allows you to become exactly as drunk as you desire every time you taste it. Whether the transport you seek is the frenzy of wild intoxication or merely the slightest unleashing of inhibitions, Hafez is the master of magnaminity, tamer of tensions, initiator of intimacy, and mentor of the unconventional. But always, Hafez is the poet who investigates the confusing contingencies of human relationships. He understands how desire urges us along an uncertain path. Hafez lives on the lips of illiterates, in the singing of professional entertainers, as well as in the tomes of specialists. His poems are emergencies. They startle, confound, yet resonate. Reading Hafez is like suddenly hearing an ambulance siren over your shoulder in a crowded street or the whispered advice of your best friend in your ear alone. The translation abounds with beautifully wrought and complexly conceived images. And this, to my mind, highlights the unique achievement of this particular set of translations. Not only is the language exquisitely wrought, but the profundity of Hafez's mystical insights are equally well-wrought. This is not an easy feat when translating from Persian to English"--Phillip Cioffari.</p>
