  Diana dedicates herself to advancing people’s journeys from functional to fantastical through mindset pivot techniques. Dotting the “i” by choice, not by chance became Diana’s mantra while breaking new ground towards the future of personal transformation. Diana’s innate creativity is well reflected in her debut book, where she discloses a part of her soul creating a manifesto on self-love. "On the LookOUT - for the better half" is an invitation for a mindful journey towards the authentic-self through the lenses of romantic relationships. Captivating, engaging and motivational - the book illustrates the turbulence of youth, while giving us an insight into the stability of adulthood by combining the romantic sarcasm of the poems with the pragmatic approach of today’s reflections. A book dedicated to those who seek and to those who discover: “I thought I was on the lookout for something or someone. However, it was there all along: ME.” (Diana Mereu). What are you On the LookOUT for?

  The Neglected Poetry

  This book collects for the first time a compendium of poems written in English by brigadists, sanitary personnel and journalists that participated or were involved in the Spanish Civil War, as well as by intellectuals, writers and journalists that supported the republican cause from the outside. The anthology starts from a previous historical framework in which this poetic legacy has been contextualized, to know where, when, how and why these poems were written, and who wrote them or who were their protagonists. All these analyses have served to understand the causes of why this poetic legacy has been denied and has not received the recognition it deserves today.

  How many plays start in a dentist’s chair and climax with a wild masquerade party? Shaw’s hilarious comedy of errors involves mistaken identity, tangled courtship, and wise advice from “the perfect waiter.” With a nod to Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, Shaw’s You Never Can Tell is a lightning-paced satire of romance and Edwardian society.
