Summary

This book analyzes the profound symbolism encapsulated in the white robe and hood famously worn by the modern Ku Klux Klan, exploring their central role in shaping the racial consciousness of contemporary America. Tracing the historical evolution of Klan regalia, the book illustrates how the visual representation of the Klansman in uniform influenced the rise, expansion, and ultimately decline of this notorious white supremacist fraternity in the early 20th century.The book meticulously examines the intricate interplay between the image of Klansmen in uniform, the clothes themselves, and the ideological underpinnings embraced by the Klan. It provides a compelling lens to understand the intricate connections between material culture, visual reconstruction, and material use.

    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 difference in the 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.

    Christina Rossetti was born in 1830, the youngest child in an extraordinarily gifted family including the Italian poet and political exile, Gabriele Rossetti.

Christina Rossetti's poetry has never disappeared from view. Critical interest in her poetry swelled in the final decades of the twentieth century, a resurgence largely impelled by the emergence of feminist criticism; much of this commentary focuses on gender issues in her poetry and on Rossetti as a woman poet.

Collected here are 16 of her most beautiful, haunting, and renowned poems.

    The Affirmations

    ”...a trans-mystical work of love and change...”—Ali Blythe, author of Hymnswitch
		 
The mystics who coined the phrase ‘the way of affirmation’ understood the apocalyptic nature of the word yes, the way it can lead out of one life and into another. Moving among the languages of Christian conversion, Classical metamorphosis, seasonal transformation, and gender transition, Luke Hathaway tells the story of the love that rewired his being, asking each of us to experience the transfiguration that can follow upon saying yes—with all one’s heart, with all one’s soul, with all one’s mind, with all one’s strength ... and with all one’s body, too.
