Silent Suffering: Poems of Pain and Purpose
Ebook
Each epoch of history brings stories of pain, triumph, oppression, freedom, purpose, suffering, grief, and joy. Silent Suffering explores the depths of the human experience through an exploration of the present moment, a time in which postmodern, progressive ideas reign as the societal benchmark for goodness, justice, beauty, and--ironically--truth. This poetic critique of progressive values invites the reader to doubt progressive dogma by critiquing the foundations of the progressive approach to morality and justice. The combination of social and cultural commentary pairs with traditional elements of classical poetry to immerse readers and listeners in the experience of modern nonconformists who silently suffer in the shadows of culture's ever evolving progressive doctrinal creeds.
Throughout this critique, readers and listeners are called to ponder the mystery of the human experience, the call to faith in a godless era, and the eternal need for hope amidst the senseless suffering humanity inflicts upon itself.
“Poems are the songs of the human heart. In Silent Suffering, Leslie Corbly, a young and talented poet, sings many songs of suffering and lamentation giving voice to the voiceless and revealing the human heart that is often hidden in the modern world. But suffering is not the final reality of our existence. Hope is. Corbly’s poetry speaks to the complexity of our human heart, its agony and suffering, but also its hope for a new tomorrow.”
—Paul Krause, author of Finding Arcadia: Wisdom, Truth, and Love in the Classics
“Leslie Corbly reveals the deceit of the progressive movement and so much more. In the book’s heart, where a mother rubs her almost-aborted female child’s face in the truth of how little she was valued, anguish and anger transform into self-destruction, saved from the cacophony by a singular voice of truth. But her titular work holds one line which addresses pain born of all maltreatment: ‘For those who cannot define harm fail to see abuse.’”
