  The French philosopher’s treatise on the nature of art and poetry includes enlightening critiques of major painters and dialogues with notable writers.Originally published in 1935 with the title Frontières de la Poésie, this work by Jacques Maritain explores the nature and subjectivity of art and poetry. As a philosopher, Maritain attempts to define the two concepts, describing them as virtuous, being primarily concerned with beauty. Rather than focusing on aesthetic theory, Maritain examines his ideas at a more tangible level, including a discussion of how art and poetry are produced.Art and Poetry further develops the principles established in Maritain’s earlier work, Art and Scholasticism, which has deeply influenced contemporary artists. Those concepts are employed here to illuminate the creative works of such diverse artists as Georges Rouault, Marc Chagall, Gino Severini, and Arthur Lourié. Maritain also relates fascinating dialogues with notable authors such as André Gide, Jean Cocteau, and others.

  Liam grew up thinking he wanted to be a zookeeper. He practically lived in the zoo as a child, and his brother is wild enough to be an animal, so it seems perfect. But no one told him he had to go through so much higher education. No one told him he needed practical experience. As an unhappy volunteer who works at the zoo after high school each day, he’s beginning to wonder if it’s worth it. Suddenly, he’s faced with a mysterious visitor, a girl who: sits in front of his gibbon exhibit, refuses to talk to him, and writes all day, every day, without cease. 
  When she finally says more than two words to him, leaving him speechless, she also accidently leaves behind something else- her journal she’s been writing in constantly every day. Taking it home with him instead of returning it, Liam decides to take a tiny peek, after all, what harm could it do? As he reads, Liam finds himself unexpectedly thrown into the life of this stranger he’s nicknamed monkey freckles and the reasons behind her strange actions begin to come to light. As he faces her once more, he has to come to grips with helping monkey freckles and facing his own unspoken past, before it’s too late. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  The One Girl Gremlin

  Phoebe Stuckes

  Her first pamphlet since her debut full collection Platinum Blonde sees Phoebe Stuckes' trademark poems of high humour and hubris take on a dreamier, more abstract, quality. Perhaps the 'wise-cracking party girl' of her earlier work is sensing that, for a while at least, the party is postponed. There isn't much worth staying up late for any more in these poems. Instead, our character lies awake in bed long into the night or wakes up into a pre-dawn world they barely recognise. And the strange new rural setting they wake to is inviting and also threatening and therefore not to be trusted.
  Phoebe Stuckes remains one of the most exciting horrifying hilarious unsettling poets writing today. The One Girl Gremlin is of course an absolute triumph!

  Diana dedicates herself to advancing people’s journeys from functional to fantastical through mindset pivot techniques.

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?
