Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The minimalist approach in After the Fire A Still Small Voice heeds the pseudo-proverb, "One picture is worth a thousand words," and the advice, attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, "Preach the Gospel. If necessary, use words."Selected quotations are from the authorized King James Bible. The challenge was for the author to write, and then for the artist to sketch, their respective inspirations. The pattern was to select a quotation, compose a meditation, and then ask the artist to create a drawing to add still other voices to the ancient, and yet, contemporary story of human encounter with the divine from beginnings to future hope. The creative interface between the poems and the abstract-expressionist charcoal drawings is devised to complement one another.The astute reader will discern thematic development from ancient Hebrew texts to C.E. accounts of causation, dynamic settings, particularities of time and place, emotional struggle, maturation, and insight hidden in the paradoxical shadow world of the perennial divine mystery. Light and dark are juxtaposed to produce dynamic tension. What is implied is as important as what is explicit. Imaginative projection, connotative values, and non-traditional creative interpretation are keys to expanded transformative understanding.The observant art aficionado will see in the Abstract Expressionist charcoal sketches little of representative reality. Instead, the artist created from swirls, dark specks (voices?), vertical horizontal circular energy, emotive forces, light source, silhouetted figures, womb-like contours, explosions of presence and absence, intensity, the chalice viewed Daliesque from above, disregard for convention, and tendered security in the eternal sway between the earth-bound and the transcendental. ---from the Foreword by the author. Farquhar, Catherine (illustrator).…

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The poems in this unique illustrated collection reflect spiritual seeking and echoes of life's challenges and tragedies. Written in free verse, the poems focus on seeking the Divine, observing nature, and expressing hope. As such, they are unconventional expressions of human encounters, observations of the natural world, and testaments to the process of spiritual maturation. Fire Voices challenges readers to explore their ever-expanding interior and exterior horizons. "Fire Voices illuminates the interconnectedness of the human experience. The content of Clark's poetry is easily relatable. Each poem allows readers a wide reach into their ears, heart, soul, and toes. I am particularly struck by Clark's visceral imagery and cunning use of sound and cadence to engage the senses. I am taken on an imaginative journey that is satisfying whether it be: thrilling, uncomfortable, funny, joyous, macabre, deeply sad, uplifting, questioning. Fire Voices is a wonderful collection of poems. I offer a caution to the discerning reader; you will be moved by the emotional power these poems tender. --- Amber C. McPhail, B.A. Earlham College, 1998, Chatham, New York "Occasional poetic thoughts may occur to any of us when something truly strikes a chord in us, but few of us have the focus and skill to craft that thought into a coherent word song of a poem. Sheldon Clark has that disciplined focus and skill to make his insights accessible to us and we are the better for taking time to reflect on his poems. May his poems reach a wide audience willing to savor these little gems." ---Susan I. Swanton, AB Harvard, 1963 MLS Columbia University, 1965; Retired Library Director, Rochester, New York, 1965-2003 "Sheldon Clark's latest work operates magnificently on two levels --- one the intimate reality of love and loss, the other the wisdom of spiritual maturity and acceptance. Clark asks the reader to join him in bringing these threads together, to experience the loss that comes from endings yet revere the magnificence of life and connection. Ultimately, with his characteristic deliberate language and astute allusions, Clark suggests there is hope to be found in the divine, in nature, in God, and in quiet contemplation." ---Sarah Woodside, Ph.D. Boston University, 2016 Associate Professor, Northeastern University. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First edition. 12mo. 232, [7 ads] pp. Blue cloth gilt. Spine dulled with modest wear at the corners and spine ends, frontispiece plate with two small abrasions on the recto and the adjacent pages foxed, an otherwise bright, very good copy. Barrett H. Clark's copy with his bookplate on the front pastedown and tiny owner signature on the front fly; on the following page Clark has tipped-in a halftone portrait of Sheldon and a clipped Signature. Clark was an exceptionally important figure in modern American drama: aside from authoring many books, he served as the longtime literary editor for the drama publisher Samuel French. A nice association: Sheldon is one of the subjects of Clark's memoir-of-sorts titled *Intimate Portraits*. Publisher's complimentary copy with a rather elaborate perforated stamp on the title page. Basis for two early films, the second starring Greta Garbo.…
