      Michelangelo, renowned primarily for his sculptures, also expressed his artistic prowess through poetry, particularly in his late-life works dedicated to Vittoria Colonna, a widow and poet. Their relationship blossomed when he was sixty-three and she was forty-four, revealing a unique bond that transcended mere romance. The poems focus not on earthly love but on divine love, showcasing Michelangelo's profound emotional depth and spiritual yearnings. This exploration of love adds a lesser-known dimension to his legacy as one of history's greatest artists.

      Liber sin Nomine, or 'a book without name, ' was James Cowan's final testament to this world. The book was written in the final months of his life leading up to his passing in October 2018. This is what James had to say about 'My task has always been to revive the concept of numen for a modern audience, to alert readers to a state of reverence present in all things.'Liber sin Nomine seeks to revive the concept of 'numen' - spirit, energy, and the sacred - for a modern audience. James Cowan was a troubadour on a lifetime quest to find those words that could establish a communion, a communication, between the eternal sacred spirit and the forever changing heart of humankind.
