Dogs and cats, cows and sheep, frogs and crickets: all creation comes together in a harmony of sounds praising God.

Poetry across the ages often emerges out of a deep and abiding attempt to communicate about the ways in which the timeless and eternal have chosen to call on our most personal and intimate inner revelations. It is in this spirit that j. l. lyons' The Rapture of a Winter Harvest is written. This collection of thirty-seven poems guides us along a veritable odyssey of sacred unfoldment, at times given form and expression through the author's ecstatic, adoring relationship with a powerful sacred (m)other/divine lover figure. Inspired and composed while traveling and living in Nepal, Colombia, California and Europe, these are poems that capture the universal impulses of love, hope, joy, desire, despair and redemption. They comprise a transformative tempest of human sentiments to which we all owe higher passage. Take your sweet time with these poems. Romance them. Let them touch your silence. Allow their seed to take root in the rapture fields of your heart.

The hero cycles of Arabic belong to the literary tradition of The Arabian Nights and can be seen as the popular epics of their civilisation. The Arabian epic covers eleven of the main representatives of this genre. Each of these has been developed through the processes of accretive oral story-telling by means of an accumulation of narrative and folklore motifs, many of which belong to what can be seen as a universal tradition. The work is published in three volumes. The first volume introduces the background and the dimensions in which the cycles are set, while the second volume analyses their contents and the literary formulae used in their construction, as well as listing analogues found in other literatures. The epitomes surveyed in the final volume provide non-Arabists with a more immediate insight into the contents of the cycles, drawing attention to their narrative colouring and texture.
