In this striking debut collection, Michael Carlson offers poems that combine the concrete and the musical, while embodying a tendency toward contradiction. He writes by working with rhythms, structures, images, associational leaps, and an obsession with the sound of words, as opposed to narrative. The book begins, ""A thing wants to pounce but can't,"" and this spirit of hesitation continues throughout the volume. The first section of the book contains heavily rhythmic poems measured sometimes by syllable, sometimes by stress, dealing with rural landscapes, a struggle with disillusionment, and a reconciliation of knowledge and belief. The second section confronts the terrain and people of Carlson's childhood in Rhode Island, using longer sentences, riskier enjambments, and a more colloquial and emotional language. The poems in the third section - which range from Manhattan to Florida, Vietnam, and Paris - share a tendency to be more fantastic and are formal in weird ways. They include an homage to Ezra Pound borrowing the vocabulary of his first book and the syntax of his last, a nod to John Donne borrowing some of his stanza shapes, a sonnet whose constraint is that each of its fourteen lines contains a piece of armor, and a sestina composed of four syllable lines with four end words that rhyme. In the fourth section, Carlson returns to Brooklyn, speaks from the present, and resolves his stances in a brief notational way that is reminiscent of Chinese poetry.

Clement of Alexandria: Selections from the Protreptikos is a book that contains a collection of writings by Clement of Alexandria, a prominent figure in the early Christian Church. The Protreptikos, which means ""exhortation"" in Greek, is one of Clement's most famous works and is a treatise on the nature of Christianity and how it differs from other religions of the time.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Christian doctrine. Clement discusses the importance of faith, the nature of God, the role of Christ in salvation, and the importance of living a virtuous life. He also addresses some of the criticisms that were being leveled against Christianity at the time, such as accusations of immorality and irrationality.The selections in this book are taken from the Protreptikos and are presented in English translation. The text is accompanied by explanatory notes that help to clarify some of the more difficult passages and provide additional context for the reader.Overall, Clement of Alexandria: Selections from the Protreptikos is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of Christian doctrine in the early Church. It offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential Christian thinkers of his time and provides insight into the challenges faced by early Christians as they sought to spread their message in a world that was often hostile to their beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
