  Jonathan Firth plays Palamon, Nigel Cooke is Arcite, and Emilia is played by Helen Schlesinger.

  • A poetry book of deep intrusive thoughts 
  • Overcoming sexual trauma (SA) 
  • Mental illness and alcoholism 
  • Finding hope in-between 
  As this is my first published book, I hope this helps free me of the thoughts I never thought would be seen. My only wish would be to show others that they too have a voice that has the strength to be heard-one word at a time. 
  To those that need it-a trigger warning for the whole damn thing. To my family and (some) friends who don't already know about the contents inside these pages, you're not obligated to read this. However, I won't speak to you about it otherwise.

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
   
  England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
   
  In this volume we explore the poets of the South-East.  Although only a small fragment of the island it is layer-rich in gentle natural landscapes and poetic beauty that hold in thrall all who take time to absorb the wonder of their words.  Our poets include Matthew Arnold, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Robert Seymour Bridges and many others.

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
  In this volume we collect together poets who, by the mere colour of their skin, were treated with such disdain and racism that it is difficult to believe that poetry of such tenderness, beauty and authority could exist.

  For fans of Between Two Kingdoms and Milk and Honey, a dazzling, unconventional memoir—in essays and verse—of a young woman’s sojourn with breast cancer; a chronicle of the most tragic moments in loss, and a celebration ofthe most tender moments in life.Question:If one breast is triple positive and the other triple negative, do they cancel each other out?Asking for a friend.    In this intimate meditation, Allison Sweet Grant begins at the place she assumed was the end. Barely 40, a mother of three, and just embarking upon her literary career, she started detailing her cancer experience the only way she knew how. In poems and compositions including “The Good Patient: A Play,” “A Note on Common Sense,” “Hot-Girl Summer,” and “1000 Kinds of Clouds,” Grant deftly explores every emotion, from the gripping panic of diagnosis to the bittersweet relief of recovery, and the heartbeats in between.     Unpretentious, gut-wrenchingly honest, and at times devastatingly funny, Lump illuminates the fear, hope, everyday indignities of illness, and unexpected joys of healing with sobering clarity and wisdom. Whether you’re on a similar course, supporting a loved one through theirs, or simply appreciate lyrical musings and poignant prose, this evocative collection is one you will savor and share.
