MADISON, Wis., Nov. 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- For author George Lysloff, finding the meaning of our lives and our true purpose of existence is a quest that everyone shares. Using literature as a medium of analyzing ourselves, Lysloff invites readers to join him with the release of his new book Poems and Stanzas II.
Poems and Stanzas II is a collection of special literary and poetic works that readers will find as remarkably insightful as the first volume. This sequel includes various lyrical pieces reflecting some of the author's deeper emotions, his innermost convictions -- and sorrows. Another part is composed of three translations of an epic written by the Belorussian poet Jakub Kolas. The final sequence adapts elements of a previous work by the author called "On that side of Awakening" -- dealing with his original philosophical ideas -- with some of the prose elements of the book refined into poetic verse. Ultimately, this collection deals with the concept of a spiritual split that happens within an entity simply called the Prime One. This analysis, in turn, explores the creation of the Universe and cosmological theories that explain its origin.
Filled with rich literary pieces, Poems and Stanzas II is highly recommended to poetry enthusiasts and creative writing fans. To order a copy of this fascinating read, feel free to visit your local bookstore or shop online at Xlibris.com today.
