1000 tulosta hakusanalla Naomi Ruth Lowinsky
Naomi Ruth Lowinsky's soul was shaped by deep impressions made on her by India, where she lived for two years in the 1960s. It was there the Goddess claimed her. It was there that myths began singing to her. It was there her soul remembered other lives. It was there her stars insisted she learn to tend her fire. And the fire spoke: I am the heat of your passion. It is I who will show you your way. What to do on her return to America but become a Jungian, and a poet?Lowinsky won the synkroniciti magazine "Space" prize, and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She also won the Blue Light Poetry Prize, the Obama Millennial Award and is an International Merit Award Winner in the Atlanta Review 2020 Poetry contest. Your Face in the Fire is her sixth poetry collection.Lowinsky is a Jungian Analyst, a member of the San Francisco Jung Institute, and poetry editor for Psychological Perspectives. She has led a poetry workshop, Deep River, for many years at the San Francisco Jung Institute and co-edited an anthology of poems by its participants, Soul Making in the Valley of the Shadow. She blogs about poetry and life at sisterfrombelow.com."To read this book is to drink of a rare and holy elixir: an exuberant, deeply soulful life masterfully distilled into word music. If you read slowly and are lucky, you might fall into the alchemical vat with her, where your own life begins to crackle and shimmer in her light. In previous works, Naomi gorgeously, fearlessly answered the call of the ancestors to remember, to grieve, to embody, and to reclaim the pearls of grace left in the ruins of exile and shattered dreams. Here she sings her own long and inspired life, from starry vault to watery cave, from Zion to California to Mexico, with the same unflinching gaze and eye for beauty, where the goddess is found inside every stone, where even evil and death - including her own - are alchemized to serve as chiaroscuro revealing love's transfigurations over time. Her lamentations are so inseparable from her passionate, sensual exultations that they become the song of life itself, utterly intoxicated with the heartbreaking beauty of existence on Earth in the eyes of the soul. As a result, she writes, Elijah appears at the table: "Here I am says he/ Here you are.""- Frances Hatfield, PhD, LMFT, former poetry editor, Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche; author, Rudiments of Flight."Naomi Ruth Lowinsky's book of poetry: Your Face in the Fire, speaks with an impassioned voice which opens us up to that vast space which we find in Jung's Red Book. It is a vibrant standpoint from which she encounters the mysteries of the psyche. Through her poetic imagination we get to participate in her vision making process. Nourished by her dreams that invite us to imagine with her as she expresses a life time of creating, engaging, reflecting and reworking while showing us how her process is not only transformational for her, but for anyone who opens up to the reality of their experiences of psyche's being. The archetypal dimension shines through this book."- Sam Kimbles, Ph.D., author of Phantom Narratives and The Suffering of Ghosts
Who will speak truth to the Master of Mendacity? "The Spirit of Elijah Cummings Speaks"Stuck in the cloistered terror of a pandemic, it's hard to remember the brawling days before and after the 2016 election, the furies released by the Kavanaugh hearings, our stunned grief at the death of Elijah Cummings in October, 2019. That seems lifetimes ago. Yet the 2020 election, perhaps the most consequential of our lives, is looming.Dreaming Night Terrors is a chapbook of political poems from the time before Covid 19. Written in outrage and sorrow, these poems are Naomi Ruth Lowinsky's offering to the spirit of Elijah Cummings. He advised us to "speak truth to abuse." He reminded us that our resilience comes from our constitution, which is based on the separation of powers. Were he alive today he would urge us to organize, raise money, write rants, vote, do everything it's in us to do to remove the current administration, its chaos and corruption, its mendacity, cruelty and cult of personality. This is our moment, even as we shelter in place and gather on Zoom, to defend our democracy, honor Elijah, and reclaim our responsibilities to each other and to the earth.

The dragons have vanished. Corruption spreads across the lands. Will his quest for answers come too late to stop an imminent calamity? The dragons have mysteriously vanished from the lands of Valadae--except one. With no memory of his past, or what happened to his kin, Laeka'Draeon begins the daunting quest for answers, aware that time and unknown perils are against him. Through ancient, blighted forests and regions steeped in mysterious lore, Laeka'Draeon encounters unexpected allies and terrifying foes and discovers a dangerous connection between his missing kind and the ominous deterioration of Valadae's realms. If the dragons fail to return and restore the waning magic of the legendary towers of Klonnoth Aire, the consequences will lead to the return of an ancient and devastating enemy; beasts that once ravaged Valadae in a calamitous 100-year war. The fate of the allied kingdoms lies under a darkening shadow, and only Laeka'Draeon can bring back the light.
The first two Beacon Throne guardians have been awakened. The third lies far away to the east, beckoning Laeka'Draeon and his companions onward in their race to stop a second Manna Eruption from destroying Valadae. But with every achieved triumph the danger grows, not only from the enemies of the old wars, but from within Laeka'Draeon's own company. And from across the allied realms, the centaur prophet Belzor Ven'Ho rises to the call of destiny and, along with his closest companions, takes up arms in a bid to aid in Laeka'Draeon's quest by breaking the enemies' hold over the northern kingdoms. The forces that have shaped the young dragon's journey so far are set to converge, and the effects will be felt across all of Valadae.
This richly illustrated book presents the art, architecture, and material culture of a little-known Byzantine dynasty, the Laskarids of Nicaea (1204–1261), uncovering their multiple contributions to the so-called Palaiologan renaissance which occurred in Constantinople after the city was regained in 1261. It adds many new examples of artistic and archaeological material to the existing historical work on the period. These include new and renovated fortifications, churches, palaces, and defensive towers, as well as artistic media such as mosaics, frescoes, coins, seals, inscriptions, and ceramics. Naomi Pitamber argues that features from Constantinople and its associated imperial history were recalled, edited, and selected for quotation in Nicaean exile and informed the Palaiologan renaissance in Constantinople. Laskarid cultural production in Asia Minor physically linked the urban imperial past of Constantinople to the present exilic moment, building a bridge to a yet unknown but much hoped-for future reuniting capital, court, empire, and people.
