  The Great Highway - A...

  August Strindberg

  Life, a fleeting shadow, a whisper in the wind, 
  We wander lost, adrift in the void, 
  Seeking solace in the darkness, 
  Yet finding only echoes of our own despair. 
  What is truth? What is meaning? 
  These questions haunt me, torment me, 
  As I tread the great highway of existence, 
  Alone, and yet surrounded by the clamor of life. 
  Oh, to find redemption in this wilderness, 
  To glimpse the light amidst the shadows, 
  But alas, it eludes me still, 
  A distant dream, a fading hope. 
  And so I wander on, a pilgrim of the soul, 
  Seeking answers in the silence, 
  Hoping against hope for a glimpse of truth, 
  In this vast expanse of nothingness.

  INTO LIGHT is the sixth poetry collection from the international, award-winning poet, musician and artist, M. D. Friedman, and is his first full-length poetry book. It reflects the experiences, observations, dreams and epiphanies of a lifetime, speaks quietly about the calling of the heart and loudly about injustices of the world. Eclectic in style and content, M. D. Friedman's poetry connects both the inner and outer realities of a life well-lived. INTO LIGHT Volume Two: The Poems of M. D. Friedman, the audio book, contains the 22 poems from the middle M. D. Friedman's INTO LIGHT poetry book. For all things INTO LIGHT, e.g., print, e-book, audio book, album, musical and video poetry rendentions, please see liquidlightpress.com/IntoLight.htm. "These poems are the masterwork of a different kind of man than most men I’ve known in my 73 years. He is, as we used to say, 'his own man.' More than a disciple of some orthodox poetry 'church,' you'll meet a mindful, funny, wise and compassionate person in these texts, unafraid to speak honestly and vulnerably. From Li Po to Robert Johnson, memory care to contemporary politics, grieving lament to defiant slam, MD lays it all out about as clearly as a poet can while leaving enough tantalizing mystery to feed the reader's soul for days on end. He really believes, 'It is a miracle to be alive.'! His poems encourage me to believe it, too!!" ~ wayne a. gilbert, poet and Colorado Governor's Creative Leadership Award winner "This long anticipated poetry collection opens like a portal that will rainbow a monochrome world. Reminiscent of Rumi and Hafiz, you will taste the landscape with your tongue, unable to separate your own inner body from the mountains and sky you inhabit, 'not the waterfall, but the water falling,' ... 'no longer sculpted by gravity.” A love poem to life herself, you will want to take your time, savoring each languid line. 'I am taken by how much I need this.'!" ~ Valerie A Szarek, award winning poet

  'I'm not broken. I'm a unique spark of life. We all are.'
  Jess has a great life: a job she loves, a sharp sense of humour and a close group of friends.
  When austerity threatens the world she has worked hard to build, Jess makes a stand to protect those she holds most dear.
  Capturing the humour, sadness and joy of everyday life, Francesca Martinez's play All of Us is a passionate and timely look at the human cost of abandoning those who struggle to fit in.
  It premiered at the National Theatre, London, in August 2022, in a production directed by Ian Rickson, with an ensemble cast featuring Francesca Martinez in the role of Jess. It was shortlisted for the 2022 George Devine Award.

  Poets on Poets - Famous poets...

  Thomas Hood, Alice Meynell,...

  Writing poetry always seems to be something we learn at school, usually beginning with a couplet of child-like rhyme that brings gales of laughter.  Later it may be agonising over a verse or two attempting to rhapsodise on love and then the years roll on with only an occasional desire to return.   
   
  In this volume we put together wordsmiths of the highest caliber as they write on Poets themselves.  Many of the poems provide valuable insights on how other poets are seen by their peers.  Some are deeply personal others are abstract.  Whether they speak at the celebration of a birth or the knowing tragedy of entering a slaughterous battle these poets take us into new uncharted territories revealing their inner selves in raw and tender ways. 
   
  Yeats, Flecker, Benet, Yeats, Dickinson, Coleridge, Millay, Levy, Gurney are but a few of their number who speak with the clarity, the eloquence and the truth that only a poet can know….but all can share.

  Unlock the power of the Indian accent and bring your characters to life with authenticity and confidence. Whether you're preparing for a specific role or expanding your range as an actor, mastering this accent can set you apart in auditions and on screen. This audio-based training guides you through every step, helping you sound natural, nuanced, and believable — without falling into stereotypes. 
  The course breaks down the unique sound patterns of Indian-accented English, teaching you how to shape vowels, soften consonants, and replicate the musical rhythm that defines the accent. You'll learn how regional languages influence speech, giving your delivery a natural flow that goes beyond surface imitation. With a focus on ear training and vocal drills, you'll fine-tune every sound while developing an instinct for the accent's melody and pacing. 
  This training is designed to help actors create rich, layered performances. You'll understand not only how the accent sounds, but why it sounds that way — from the influence of Indian language structure to the subtle shifts in emphasis and intonation. By connecting the accent to character and context, you'll avoid clichés and build performances that feel grounded and authentic. 
  Every lesson is crafted with actors in mind, combining technical precision with practical exercises. Dialogue practice helps you integrate the accent into performance, preparing you for auditions, rehearsals, and on-camera work. The flexible audio format fits easily into your daily routine, letting you learn at your own pace. 
  With the right training, an accent becomes a powerful tool for storytelling. Mastering the Indian accent will give you the confidence to step into any role and deliver performances that are both compelling and true to life.
