The Sheep at the Top of the Stairs
The Sheep at the Top of the Stairs might at first seem an odd title for a book-length sequence that chronicles the poet's widowed mother's steady and irreversible descent into forgetting. But this is also, in equal measure, an act of remembering, remembering not the woman "blunted" by Alzheimer's, but the strong-willed and incandescent personality who was the beating heart of her family's life. In poems that are plainspoken, clear-eyed, and mercifully free of sentimentality and special pleading, Jan Seabaugh reconstructs her mother's history in telling and intimate detail so that we might come to know her as she was. But this is also a book as much about the present as it is the past. When the poet becomes her mother's principal caregiver, mother and daughter meet on new ground and join together in a relationship based on courage and tenderness. In the end, The Sheep at the Top of the Stairs testifies to the power of the imagination to salvage and repair, to mourn and celebrate. Difficult truths burn on every page. Max Westler, former director of writing programs at Saint Mary's College and author of Civil Defense and Other Poems.

The Philosophy of Natural Magic
"The Philosophy of Natural Magic" by Henry Cornelius Agrippa, a seminal work in the field of esoteric philosophy, offers a captivating glimpse into the mystical practices and beliefs of the Renaissance era. First published in the early 16th century as "De occulta philosophia libri tres," this book proposes a compelling view of magic as a divine science, accessible to devout Christians and derived from God, rather than the Devil. Agrippa's profound influence on Renaissance thinkers, especially Giordano Bruno, is a testament to his revolutionary ideas.This early 20th-century edition brings Agrippa's work to the modern reader without the complexity of Elizabethan typography and spelling, preserving just enough to provide an authentic flavor of the original text. This book serves as a fascinating introduction to the world of natural magic and its philosophical underpinnings.
Sappho and Phaon
"Sappho and Phaon" by Mary Robinson is a poignant sonnet sequence that breathes life into the legendary tale of the ancient poetess Sappho's tragic love. Robinson, known as 'the English Sappho, ' was a pioneering female author and feminist trailblazer with a dramatic life story. Abandoned by her father at a young age, she turned to teaching and acting, capturing the heart of the Prince of Wales before transforming into a respected writer.In this work, Robinson reimagines Sappho not as the iconic figure of later centuries, but as the Renaissance had often portrayed her: a tortured lover, hopelessly enamored with Phaon, a boatman. Her pursuit of Phaon to Sicily and her eventual leap from the Leucadian cliffs symbolize a profound narrative of passionate love and despair. The tale likely resonated deeply with Robinson's own experiences of love and rejection.Robinson's Sappho diverges from historical accuracies, focusing instead on the emotional depth and human complexities of her characters. This sonnet sequence stands as a testament to Robinson's literary talent and her ability to weave personal anguish into timeless art. "Sappho and Phaon" invites readers to experience a moving portrayal of love, loss, and the enduring power of poetry.
