Is death the end, or a new beginning? Should it be feared, or embraced? Or is it simply a ceasing to exist? What better way to examine this great unknown than through poetry. Author Stephanie Buckwalter explores eight poems and poets, with chapters on John Donne, Emily Bronte, Walt Whitman, and five others. Accompanied by biographical information on the poet and end-of-chapter questions for further study, Buckwalter unravels each poem, including detailed analysis of form, content, poetic technique, and theme, encouraging readers to develop the tools to understand and appreciate poetry.
Death, Strength and Courage
Death to me is like an annual. It lives throughout its season and then it dies. Only leaving behind a vision of beauty and a scent of an aroma. At some point, you have to learn to let go. Now, it's time to be strong. By releasing the past and embracing your future. Understand that death is a part of life. It doesn't open up Windows for us to just give up. But, separates us from The real world to our reality. The poetry in this book Death, Strength and Courage. It will help you through your time of grieving, disparity, and depression. You will learn that a broken heart can mend. Let this book guide you with the instructions of life. You can find new happiness. A joy unspeakable joy. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 41 •.1 0," fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
