Exodus is the title given to an Old English alliterative poem in the Junius manuscript (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Junius 11).
 "Exodus" is not a paraphrase of the biblical book, but rather a re-telling of the story of the Israelites' flight from Egyptian captivity and the Crossing of the Red Sea in the manner of a "heroic epic", much like Old English poems "Andreas", "Judith", or even "Beowulf".
 It is one of the densest, most allusive and complex poems in Old English, and is the focus of much critical debate.
Juliana [Exeter Book, fol.65b-76a], is one of the four signed poems scribed to the mysterious poet, Cynewulf, and is an account of the martyring of St. Juliana of Nicomedia.
 The one surviving manuscript, dated between 970 and 990, is preserved in the Exeter Book between the poems "The Phoenix" and "The Wanderer".
 "Juliana" is one of only five Old English poetic texts that describe the lives of saints.
 (The others include "Elene", "Andreas", and "Guthlac A" and "B".)
Cynewulf is one of twelve Old English poets known by name, and one of four whose work is known to survive today.
 He presumably flourished in the 9th century, with possible dates extending into the late 8th and early 10th centuries.
The Dream of the Rood is one of the Christian poems in the corpus of Old English literature and an example of the genre of dream poetry.
 Like most Old English poetry, it is written in alliterative verse. "
Rood" is from the Old English word "rod" 'pole', or more specifically 'crucifix'.
 Preserved in the 10th century Vercelli Book, the poem may be as old as the 8th century Ruthwell Cross, and is considered one of the oldest works of Old English literature.
Crist (Old English for "Christ"), is the title given to a triad of Old English religious poems in the Exeter Book comprising a total of 1664 lines and dealing with Christ's Advent, Ascension and Last Judgment.
 It was originally thought to be one piece completed by a single author, but the poem is now broken up into three parts:
Elene is a poem in Old English, that is sometimes known as Saint Helena Finds the True Cross.
 It was translated from a Latin text and is the longest of Cynewulf's four signed poems.
 It is the fifth of six poems appearing in the Vercelli manuscript, which also contains "The Fates of the Apostles", "Andreas", "Soul and Body I", the "Homiletic Fragment I" and "Dream of the Rood".
 The poem is the first English account of the finding of the Holy Cross by Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine.
 The poem was written by Cynewulf some time between 750 and the tenth century.
 It is written in a West Saxon dialect, but certain Anglianisms and metrical evidence concerning false rhymes suggest it was written in an Anglian rather than Saxon dialect.
 It is 1,321 lines long.
John Patrick ("Pat") Hermann (born 17 April 1947) is an American academic who specializes in Old English poetry; he is a retired emeritus professor from the University of Alabama.
 He is the author of "Allegories of War: Language and Violence in Old English Poetry" (1989), and an early proponent of the application of postmodern critical theory to Old English poetry, especially allegorical poems, to investigate the "intersection of spirituality and violence".
 The book was marked as a "turning-point in criticism of Old English poetry".
 Hermann is also a well-known critic of the Greek system at the University of Alabama, described by one journal as leading a "one-man crusade...to abolish what he calls an 'apartheid greek system'".
Christ II, also called The Ascension, is one of Cynewulf’s four signed poems that exist in the Old English vernacular.
 It is a five-section piece that spans lines 440-866 of the Christ triad in the "Exeter Book" (folios 14a-20b), and is homiletic in its subject matter in contrast to the martyrological nature of "Juliana", "Elene", and "Fates of the Apostles".
 "Christ II" draws upon a number of ecclesiastical sources, but it is primarily framed upon Gregory the Great’s "Homily XXIX" on Ascension Day.
The Old English Boethius is an Old English translation/adaptation of the sixth-century "Consolation of Philosophy" by Boethius, dating from between c. 880 and 950.
 Boethius's work is prosimetrical, alternating between prose and verse, and one of the two surviving manuscripts of the Old English translation renders the poems as Old English alliterative verse: these verse translations are known as the Metres of Boethius.
Professor Ghulam Nabi Firaq (15 July 1927 - 17 December 2016) was a Kashmiri poet, writer and an educationist.
 From the last fifty years he had been writing poetry and prose.
 In doing so he used, besides traditional ones, several poetic forms including blank verse, free verse, sonnets, quatrains, metric poems and lyrics.
 He also translated dozens of English poems of outstanding English poets into Kashmiri.
 As a result of all this, he enriched the expression of the language and made it more suitable for communicating his sensibility which in nature is modern.
 Besides, he had been writing essays and articles in Kashmiri language, which was his mother tongue, and which he had made the vehicle of expression from early fifties.
 As a literary critic and historian he had been trying to evaluate the Kashmiri poetry of the last five hundred years and rehabilitate it by bringing to prominence among other things its intrinsic merit and power of expression.
 He also holds the Sahitya Akademi Award for his works in Kashmiri literature.
 He is regarded as one of the very few people of Kashmir who has been trying to preserve the rich Kashmiri culture, heritage and language.
