Liberty Nature Reader

Talking about religious poetry:
Two statements from Peter Menkin
on Eratosphere ...

( "Religious poetry, How Does It? ") My interest is here again to give artistic and spiritual statement about my work as a budding poet. I'll say it again, go to Eratosphere and You are looking at the link above to find comments from many very good, if writers and knowledgeable about the subject. These are, of course, by their group of participants, and I not at this workshop for more, and only for a short time. But I found the discussion section helpful, and some of the other.

My page of text only, provided here for I do not have permission to reprint the discussion in its entirety.

For a few years I have in both writing and reading religious poetry interested. Some I've written better than others, and I have written some I like more than others.

Some critics say the work has a personal voice and modern explanation (as TS). So I read to learn, both for devotion and religious poetry about it.

I have enjoyed a wider range of religious Poetry (Christian faith), much of it modern. One example, the poet called Ephrem:

"Lord, Let the day be you and for us.
Whether it is a means, a pledge of peace.
It is your day to reconcile heaven and earth,
for them on the heavenly down to earth. "

Perhaps his passion, and Marian are aligned interesting to readers, and religious Christians.

I am not come to the widespread view that religious poetry and to wake up to show the personal experience and passions of the author. Or that it needs to show some doubt or metamorphisis in faith. I have been practicing praise and thanks, as I am able. My intention is to stay with the Anglican Tradition, as I am an Episcopalian. So much for a letter of intent.

I think my attitude is fair play, the criticism to improve my own Efforts. Some religious writers something to show their attitude and interest.

William Blake is a popular religious poet, and I think he represents, as are the poets of her time:

"And his feet in the old days
Go to the green mountains of England?
And was the holy Lamb of God
Seen in a pleasant pastures in England? "

Unlike Blake, who was a spiritual man does not look so, the views of the Church, though certainly are beneficial interest "to think freely." It is a very nice (as in right row) of poems, of which I have the quote in the book "The Poetry of Piety: An Annotated Anthology of Christian Poetry. "

In some important way, I have the poems of Immaculate Heart Hermitage in Big Sur, California published article (where I received). I enjoyed the monastic tradition that offer Camaldolese. For this reason, I have my hand on the same kind of ethos attempted.

I have a few examples of responses to quiet days in a monastery in Berkeley, California (where a wafer, such things I can, visit one study House for teaching and education). One thing I have asked a long series is posted on contemplation, and a statement by a monk in Poetry). Under great freedom, which is a poem, I have literally (they? copies) and poetic statement rather than an oral report. The monks liked it, as well as some other. They published it. Once I wrote it for comments and suggestions, and like it, was preserved as a centering prayer. Probably useful that Manner. If you want to check out some of my poetry, visit my blog: http://www.petermenkin.blogspot.com http://www.petermenkin.com

The first URL is the blog, the second of my website.

I think I have improved over time, also had a few poems published in religious (Christian) magazines. This fulfills my ambition. Here is a very good Poem by a favorite poet of mine, also a religious poet.

By Denise Levertov ( "The demonstrations: Lady Julian of Norwich, 1342-1416):

"And you ask us to cast our eyes
from the inside out, see and
a little thing, believe that the size of a hazelnut and
it is our World? Ask us, so you see it lying
pierced in the hand of God? It includes the
any awareness of our mind contain? All Time?
All unlimited Space in this form given
medieval mystery? "

( "Maintenance of Mystery: An Anthology of Contemporary Christian Poetry."

Forgive me my excesses in this post.

Katy:
About the monks of the Order of St. Benedict in Big Sur, California (USA) They express their interest in various poetic statements. A slim book, which I bought at their bookshop in the monastery is by Patrick W. Flanigan, MD, a pub in the region. ( "Surviving the Storm" from Pacific Grove Publishing, Pacific Grove, California.)

A quote from "fog."

"Fog obscured, colors and details,
attenuates noise
keep birds in their nests,
whispers: "Stay in bed."

At first glance, not a religious poem. But as those who follow the Rule of St. Benedict says, this poem of the place) (stability, Creation of (biblical), and the rest (contemplation). I think it means a secret about life.

Another, "The Basin":

"A metal basin
full of water,
smooth
and calm,
sits on the rocky shore
dance,
babbling brook. "

This poem later says, "just be" and this statement is like the Bible to quote: "Be still and know that I am God."

href = "http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qezbHL4SA4/SKiFx8soweI/AAAAAAAAAVU/iWVnYzafUGw/s1600-h/Easter+flower.jpg"> There is another book of poems, slimmer, more that sell them, and I suspect support for. A visitor to their monastery (quiet retreat only) the place is spelled with regard to their natural environment so that a notification of the sacred and holy ground. It is not a Christian, and the monastery is a deeply spiritual place of sanctity for themselves and others. I do not have a sample otherwise I would have still an example of religious poetry. Because if they do not interpret themselves, their testimony as a Christian or religious, but spiritually, I think that others do.

The Liberty Reader $33.95 For centuries past, the quest for liberty has driven political movements across the globe, inspiring revolutions in America, France, China and many other countries. But what is this liberty that is so fervently pursued? Does it mean a private space for individuals, the capacity for free and rational choice, or collective self-rule? Reflecting on this question reveals a surprisingly rich landscape of ideas - and further questions. The Liberty Reader collects some of the most important and insightful essays written in the past century by philosophers and other scholars reflecting on the nature of liberty. Essential reading for students of social and political theory and anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the variety of ideas and ideals behind perennial human strivings for liberty.

Nature and Liberty $170 Liberal democracy is now being more widely adopted, so much so that the thesis that this regime stands at the end of history has become fashionable. Yet immense and unresolved internal problems arise in these regimes. In Nature and Liberty, John Zvesper explores three of the most important conflicts within modern liberal politics those connected with ethnicity and race, sex and family life, and the bureaucratized government. He traces the difficulties that liberals have in dealing with these problems to the physiphobia the unreasonable fear of nature in contemporary liberal political theory. Zvesper examines the practical problems by using evidence from the political experience of the United States, a regime that has often been taken to illustrate the characteristic virtues and vices of liberal democracy. The book culminates in a critique of currently dominant liberal theories, and a sketch of the outlines of a more adequate theory. The thesis of Nature and Liberty is that contemporary liberal politics, both in practice and in theory, is too easily driven to libertarian and communitarian extremes, because contemporary liberals are too reluctant to have recourse to nature as a guide for political life. During the last quarter of the twentieth century there has been a resurgence of liberal political thinking, but most of this thinking has deliberately avoided the question of natural standards for political life. John Zvesper shows how this avoidance has been both practically destructive and theoretically unnecessary.

On Liberty $7.98 In "On Liberty", John Stuart Mill begins by writing, "The subject of this essay is not the so-called 'liberty of the will', so unfortunately opposed to the misnamed doctrine of philosophical necessity; but civil, or social liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual." It is this concept that is at the heart of this work. John Stuart Mill eloquently ponders the question of where the line should be drawn between the freedom of individuals and the authority of the state. As he puts it, "The struggle between liberty and authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar..."

Liberty $29.95 Liberty is a revised and expanded edition of the book that Isaiah Berlin regarded as his most important--Four Essays on Liberty, a standard text of liberalism, constantly in demand and constantly discussed since it was first published in 1969. Writing in Harper's, Irving Howe described it as an exhilarating performance--this, one tells oneself, is what the life of the mind can be. Berlin's editor Henry Hardy has revised the text, incorporating a fifth essay that Berlin himself had wanted to include. He has also added further pieces that bear on the same topic, so that Berlin's principal statements on liberty are at last available together in one volume. Finally, in anextended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism. These additions help us to grasp the nature of Berlin's inner citadel, as he called it--the core of personal conviction fromwhich some of his most influential writing sprung.

The Nature Reader $3.98 A splendid anthology that began as a sellout issue of Antaeus more than a decade ago, this completely revised and expanded edition is larger by half than its forebear -- reflecting the virtual explosion of great writing on nature that has taken place in the interim. Twenty-seven writers from a wide range of disciplines have added to the original roster of contributors. Whether it's Julia Blackburn describing the disappearance of a paradise called St. Helena's between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, David Quammen describing twentieth century "Rattlesnake Passion," David Abrams introducing us to local magic in Indonesia, or Terry Tempest Williams locking horns with her family over the Endangered Species Act, the subject of Nature is no longer limited to contemplative pastorales. Without a doubt, some of the most exciting work being written late in the twentieth century is about nature and natural histo as we begin again to assess the serious question of how humankind is part of nature, and how nature expresses itself through us. The Nature Reader brings the foremost writers in the field -- Barry Lopez, Gary Snyder, Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, Edward Hoagland, Peter Matthiessen, John McPhee, Edward O. Wilson, David Quammen -- together with well-known poets and fiction writers such as Elizabeth Bishop, Italo Calvino, Richard Ford, John Fowles, Cormac McCarthy, and Gabriel García Márquez. The juxtapositions yield unexpected delights and make The Nature Reader a singular contribution to the field of nature writing. Edited by Daniel Halpern and Dan Frank, The Nature Reader includes an illuminating reading list of important works of natural history annotated by a distinguished group of advisory editors: Annie Dillard, Gretel Erlich, Jim Harrison, John Hay, Edward Hoagland, Barry, Lopez, David Quammen, and Terry Tempest Williams.

Liberty, Right and Nature $101.48 With the notion of individual rights as important in moral and political theory now as it has ever been, there is renewed speculation over the origins and development of this concept. Liberty, Right and Nature is a work of unusual scope and power that takes a fresh look at this intellectual tradition, and deploys an enormous range of further sources in order to reassess our understanding of its development, beginning with the texts of the thirteenth century poverty controversy and ending with a discussion of Thomas Hobbes' theory of natural rights.

Liberty Hyde Bailey $34.48 "Nature-study not only educates, but it educates nature-ward; and nature is ever our companion, whether we will or no. Even though we are determined to shut ourselves in an office, nature sends her messengers. The light, the dark, the moon, the cloud, the rain, the wind, the falling leaf, the fly, the bouquet, the bird, the cockroach-they are all ours. If one is to be happy, he must be in sympathy with common things. He must live in harmony with his environment. One cannot be happy yonder nor tomorrow: he is happy here and now, or never. Our stock of knowledge of common things should be great. Few of us can travel. We must know the things at home."--from "The Meaning of the Nature-study Movement" "To feel that one is a useful and cooperating part in nature is to give one kinship, and to open the mind to the great resources and the high enthusiasms. Here arise the fundamental common relations. Here arise also the great emotions and conceptions of sublimity and grandeur, of majesty and awe, the uplift of vast desires--when one contemplates the earth and the universe and desires to take them into the soul and to express oneself in their terms; and here also the responsible practices of life take root."--from "The Holy Earth" Before Wendell Berry and Aldo Leopold, there was the horticulturalist and botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey (1858-1954). For Wendell Berry, Bailey was a revelation, a symbol of the nature-minded agrarianism Berry himself popularized. For Aldo Leopold, Bailey offered a model of the scholar-essayist-naturalist. In his revolutionary work of eco-theology, The Holy Earth, Bailey challenged the anthropomorphism--the people-centeredness--of a vulnerable world. A trained scientist writing in the lyrical tradition of Emerson, Burroughs, and Muir, Bailey offered the twentieth century its first exquisitely interdisciplinary biocentric worldview; this Michigan farmer's son defined the intellectual and spiritual foundations of what would become the environmental movement. For nearly a half century, Bailey dominated matters agricultural, environmental, and scientific in the United States. He worked both to improve the lives of rural folk and to preserve the land from which they earned their livelihood. Along the way, he popularized nature study in U.S. classrooms, lobbied successfully for women's rights on and off the farm, and bulwarked Teddy Roosevelt's pioneering conservationism. Here for the first time is an anthology of Bailey's most important writings suitable for the general and scholarly reader alike. Carefully selected and annotated by Zachary Michael Jack, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to Bailey's celebrated and revolutionary thinking on the urgent environmental, agrarian, educational, and ecospiritual dilemmas of his day and our own. Culled from ten of Bailey's most influential works, these lyrical selections highlight Bailey's contributions to the nature-study and...
