Hellenistic Poetry has enjoyed a notable re-appreciation in recent years and received ample scholarly discussion, especially focusing on its reception and innovation of Greek poetic tradition. This book wishes to add to our picture of how Hellenistic poetry works by looking at it from a slightly different angle. Concentrating on the interaction between contemporary poets, it attempts to view the dynamics of imitation and reception in the light of poetical self-positioning. In the courtly Alexandrian surroundings, choosing a poetic model and affiliation determines one's position in the cultural field. This book sets out to chart, not only the well-known complexities of handling the poetic past, but especially their relation to the poetic interaction of the Hellenistic, in particular Alexandrian poets.

Our lives are made of the past, the present and the future. The poems are a mirror of the author's world today and a window into his past. Everyone's past is filled with memories of persons, places and things. The future is made of our dreams and hopes. Louis is and has been a Fine Art painter for over 65 years of his 72 years. Only in 2013 did he begin to express his memories in poems. This book is his 7th poetry book and Louis says it will be his last. The reason is that he must return to his paintings. Louis is the creator of ' Calcite Sun Oil' a revolutionary oil painting medium that eliminates all hazardous materials from Fine Art painting. His books and DVD's on painting materials and techniques have been read and studied across the globe. The images in paintings have been called poetic and poems tell stories with words. The poems are not of one theme nor subject. The reader will find the variety of topics and subjects of interest, as they cover life, death, hope, love and hate.

Written during the trial for a close friend’s murder, Come the Slumberless to the Land of Nod exposes that the whimsical, horrible, and absurd all sit together. In this ambitious fourth collection, Traci Brimhall corresponds with the urges of life and death within herself as she lives through a series of impossibilities: the sentencing of her friend’s murderers, the birth of her child, the death of her mother, divorce, a trip sailing through the Arctic. In lullaby, lyric essay, and always with brutal sincerity, Brimhall examines how beauty and terror live right alongside each other––much like how Nod is both a fictional dreamscape and the place where Cain is exiled for murdering Abel. By plucking at the tensions between life and death, love and hate, truth and obscurity, Brimhall finds what it is that ties opposing themes together; how love and loss are married in grief. Like Eve thrust from Eden, Brimhall is tasked with finding meaning in a world defined by its cruelty. Unrelenting, incisive, and tender, these poems expose beauty in the grotesque and argue that the effort to be good always outweighs the desire to succumb to what is easy.
