Selected Poems of Madame Guyon

TiLu Press recently reformatted, and upgraded our 2012 publication: Selected Poems of Madame Guyon, into a paperback edition. You can purchase it with this link or by clicking on the image above. (The cover image shown is from the Kindle version which is also available at this link. This is a new cover for the Kindle edition). This work includes annotated front matter authored by us and approximately 45 poems by this Christian Mystic Poet, all of them translated by William Cowper. The poems were selected from two different public domain works, one by Cowper, and another by the early American psychologist, Thomas C. Upham, (the latter a student of the mystical tradition and keenly interested in the life and poems of Madame Guyon; also known as Jeanne Guyon). 

Madame Guyon (1648-1717), also known as Jeanne Guyon, was a Christian mystic and prayer practitioner, a woman of deep faith, who believed that one's life with Christ should be centered in constant prayer. She was imprisoned because of her views for at least seven years. During this time, and throughout her life, she wrote a number of books, letters, and poetry. We at TiLu Press, have actually published two volumes of her poetry, and her poems are a featured part of our Mystical Poet Series (see our discussion about this below).~~ND 

TiLu Press recently published for the first time, the Kindle edition of the Selected Poems of Madame Guyon: Volume Two (Annotated). You can purchase this edition by clicking on this link or the cover image just above this paragraph. This work features an additional 25 poems by Madame Guyon that are not included in our other collection of poems by this poet (see above). These poems are also translated by William Cowper and were selected from a work that was published in 1834. Taken together, both these collections are included as part of our Mystical Poet Series.~~ND 

About the Mystical Poet Series: TiLu Press is proud to be building a series of collections by poets that we term as Mystical Poets. Books One and Two in the series, are by our resident poet, Tim Kavi, and represent his titles: Emerging Goddess and Ascending Goddess. Books Three and Four are these two volumes of Madame Guyon poetry. Additional collections in this series will include poems by Milarepa, Nagarjuna, Rumi, William Blake, and Walt Whitman. Each collection will feature new annotated front matter. We wish we could promote this series on KDP, but KDP does not allow any titles with public domain content to be depicted as part of a series.(Of course, that would include most of the works by these poets, except for Tim Kavi). We are still going to publish these additional works, and we are currently working on the Selected Poems of Milarepa, which we hope will be of interest to readers. Thank you for supporting our work!~~Li JiLi
