Download Love and Its Interruptions AudioBook Free
In spite of new freedoms and new solutions, love between women and men is not easy. Elizabeth Elliott's fifth e book of poetry has three parts: "First Love First Contentment", "Inside the Schools of Love", and "Love and Its Interruptions". She writes, "I am too old to discuss First Love nowadays, but 60 years back first love was about being unable to speak, about innocence and a kind of thrilled fear. It had been not about choice so much as about dedication. Until divorce happened it couldn't happen. But a new freedom beckoned beyond the true sadness, activities were agreed upon into a record and then - freedom is scratching at our excited door. Are we prepared for this freedom? NO. Do we learn? I guess." Eighteen poems have been culled from early literature, 39 poems are new or never been publicized. Included is a new principle for poetry - just a word. Here you'll find insights compiled by the writer behind the scenes for every single poem. Elizabeth's poetry explores the individual condition in our quests for vitality and truth, for persistence, justice and desire. On our dependence on individuality, an objective, and for obtaining our goals with courage and persistence. Her poems show us our innocence and our temptations, our gratitude and understanding, and our freedom. Our battle to overcome loss and death, evil and harm, battle and conflict and to find love and happiness with the restorative healing vitality of our soul and our psyche. And our capacity to play, to study nature, science, and time, to create artwork and beauty, to sense the paradox and to experience the transformation in our lives. This is actually the poetry of life, and a life of poetry.
