It Is Joy To Be With You by Emily Dickenson
Description
Emily Dickinson, unrecognized in her own time, is known posthumously for her innovative use of form and syntax. Dickinson's poetry was heavily influenced by the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth-century England, as well as her reading of the Book of Revelation and her upbringing in a Puritan New England town, which encouraged a Calvinist, orthodox, and conservative approach to Christianity. While she was extremely prolific as a poet and regularly enclosed poems in letters to friends, she was not publicly recognized during her lifetime. Upon her death, Dickinson's family discovered forty handbound volumes of nearly 1,800 poems, or "fascicles" as they are sometimes called. Dickinson assembled these booklets by folding and sewing five or six sheets of stationery paper and copying what seem to be the final versions of poems.
This collection of Emily Dickinson, edited by Claudio Rocchetti, comprises fifty poems, eight letters, and seven fragments.

The Occultist by Max Theon

The Occultist by Max Théon is a remarkable rediscovered work from the hidden history of Western esotericism, now published in book form for the first time. Originally serialized in 1899 in the Journal du Magnétisme, this unusual text blends mystical narrative with visionary occult philosophy, offering a rare glimpse into Théon’s unique cosmology and spiritual teachings. Théon—an enigmatic figure associated with the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor and the founder of the Cosmic Movement—played a fascinating role in the development of modern esoteric thought alongside his wife Alma Théon, whose teachings together formed what became known as the Cosmic Tradition. This edition presents the text in a new English translation by Daniel Kennedy and includes an introduction by Andraž Marchetti, the companion piece “A Vision,” and a helpful glossary that illuminates Théon’s symbolic language. Blending occult speculation, mystical insight, and fin-de-siècle esoteric imagination, The Occultist offers readers and collectors a rare opportunity to engage with the writings of one of the most mysterious figures of the late-nineteenth-century occult revival.
