  Rooted in the grit of urban Baltimore and the forests of rural Massachusetts, these poems remind us that life's tensions and polarities are energies we carry within ourselves.
  
  
   
  
  
  These are poems of witness and commentary, conversation and meditation. They offer moments of close looking, and of looking away; of loving, and of bungled attempts to be more loving. They call us to look long and hard— and generously —at our lives. Written with radiant honesty and fierce tenderness, they suggest a path of inner discovery where mystery awaits us in the ordinary.

  In this song-like collection of 50 short poems inspired by rural Prince Edward Island, Canada, Roderick MacDonald elevates the commonplace and simple in entertaining and thoughtful verse. 
  Through his poetry MacDonald invites the listener to accompany him on a gentle walk through the changing seasons on his beloved island. His words evoke the beach: sand under foot, lapping waves, and spectacular sunsets anointing old, abandoned lighthouses. He celebrates the harvests of both land and ocean. With him we tread red-dirt roads past fields of barley and tiny fishing harbours. We feel the island’s rhythms and glimpse its treasures: soaring eagles, shimmering lakes, and crackling campfires at end of the day…. 
  Listen now and be transported!

  A new collection from Jane Routh, author of Circumnavigation, shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, and Teach Yourself Mapmaking, a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
  After lockdowns have swept calendars clear, leaf-fall, early sunrise and gales are Jane Routh's measures of time, as she goes about her tasks in the hill pasture and woodlands where she has the luck to live.
  With sharp, lyrical description and down-to earth understanding, her poems consider the flora and fauna around her, formative moments and lifespans – as well as the dead who won't be forgotten. Her elegant and informed writing conveys a sense of belonging in a particular place and the care for its future, carrying a universal resonance.

  The Boy - Special Edition

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  A brutal coming-of-age Western set in blood, dust, and redemption. The Boy follows a young Black gunman forged by tragedy and raised by an outlaw prospector in a violent American frontier where justice is paid for in gunfire, silence, and consequence. 
  When the boy’s father—feared across the territory as the man who could outdraw any living soul—is murdered and left without dignity, the boy swears revenge. Guided only by harsh lessons, instinct, and the code of the dying West, he grows into a quiet storm: patient, disciplined, and lethal. 
  But revenge is never simple, and the trail forces him to confront more than his father’s killer. Along the way he finds love, betrayal, cruelty, unexpected mercy, and the terrifying truth that a man must decide whether violence defines him—or frees him. 
  Dark, poetic, and cinematic, The Boy blends Western grit with emotional depth and cultural legacy. It explores the cost of survival, the burden of history, and the myth of the gunfighter through a voice both intimate and unforgiving. 
  For listeners who enjoy Cormac McCarthy, Sergio Leone stylings, or stories rooted in justice, rage, and resilience, this is a Western that doesn’t just aim—it hits.

  Born in England – Exploring...

  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 the instantly globally recognisable city of London has, for century after century, dominated the country.  Its rich history of art, culture and commerce interweave with generation after generation of poets to produce a supremely rich tapestry of undimmed brilliance.  Our poets include Alexander Pope, Amy Levy, Edmund Spenser, John Keats, G K Chesterton and a host of others.  Genius has many names.
