With a shared reverence for the arts of Japan, T. Richard Fishbein and his wife, Estelle P. Bender assembled an outstanding and diverse collection of paintings of the Edo period (1615 – 1868). The Poetry of Nature offers an in-depth look at more than forty works from their collection that together trace the development of the major schools and movements of the era — Rinpa, Nanga, Zen, Maruyama-Shijō, and Ukiyo-e — from their roots in Heian court culture and the Kano and Tosa artistic lineages that preceded them. Insightful essays by John T. Carpenter and Midori Oka reveal a unifying theme — the celebration of the natural world — expressed in varied forms, from the bold, graphic manner of Rinpa to the muted sensitivity of Nanga. Lavishly illustrated, these works draw particular focus to the unique intertwinement of poetry and the pictorial arts that is fundamental to the Japanese tradition. In addition to providing new readings and translations of Japanese and Chinese poems, The Poetry of Nature sheds new light on the ways in which Edo artists used verse to transform their paintings into a hybrid literary and visual art. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

There's a war coming to the City of Angels. In the tunnels and dark alleys of the city, demons lurk... and Lucifer bides his time. One man knows and sees the truth. Father Daniel Beckett has seen demons and he's spoken to the Devil, but he can't say the same about God or his angels. Obsessed and driven as much by betrayal as righteousness and anger as redemption, he walks the smoke-filled homeless encampments of lost souls, like Dante's nine rings of the Inferno. He is God's warrior... at war with God. With this step into the comic book world, John Carpenter brings it all to the serial world he's loved since childhood. Supernatural horror with that twist of fate that only flawed mankind can provide!

Beckett and Duran are drawn to a small town in the Midwest where children have been kidnapped and murdered for decades. Father Leone, King Leo and the Soul Collector all become parts of a bigger plan as Beckett finds his true self and Duran is forced to take a stand as mankind's fate intertwines with that of one small child.
