Synopsis

'They have power. Not the power to make you do what they want. But real power. To make you want what they want.'
An eccentric, teasing yarn from the multi-award-winning author of The Weir.
A cynical and jaded drama critic falls for a beautiful young actress. In pursuing her, he meets a group of modern-day vampires who offer him eternal life – his part of the bargain is to feed their bloodlust.
Conor McPherson's monologue play St Nicholas was first performed by Brian Cox at the Bush Theatre, London, in February 1997, in a production directed by Conor McPherson.
Disponible depuis: 13/05/2015.

    Ascension is a channeled poetry book about finding freedom so that you can realize your highest potential in this lifetime.  
    This poetry book is for those who are ready to liberate their soul and find complete freedom. 
    How can I thank 
    All these teachers of mine 
    For sharing with me 
    A love that is divine 
    So that I could find 
    My inner light 
    Trust myself 
    Learn to shine bright 
    And radiate love 
    To all that I meet 
    To the people of Earth 
    I bow at your feet 
    So that I may discover 
    The Most High 
    Trust the guidance 
    And let myself fly 
    To the land beyond 
    That which we know 
    An infinite space 
    To learn and grow 
    This channeled poetry book was inspired by my time living at an ashram receiving teachings from Shiva, the Archangels and Ascended Masters, and the Divine Mother. 
    If you’re on the path to creating more freedom, love, and joy in your life, Ascension The Path To Liberation will guide you on your journey to liberate your soul!

     In this powerful and moving collection, Vietnam War veteran Every Man bares his soul through poetry that vividly captures the fear, anguish, camaraderie and haunting memories of war. With stark imagery and raw emotions, these verses transport the reader to the jungles of Vietnam, inside the mind of a young soldier thrust into unimaginable horrors. His words give an unflinching look at the brutal realities of combat and its lifelong aftershocks, including the challenges of returning home to a society that doesn't understand. 
     Covering his tours of duty and the decades that followed, these poems grapple with themes of survival, grief, alienation, and the struggle to heal from the physical and psychological trauma of war. While the Vietnam War is the focal point, many of the poems draw parallels to other conflicts and deliver a thought-provoking commentary on war in general. This timely and timeless collection is a must-read for veterans, their loved ones, and anyone seeking to better understand the true costs of combat and the resilience of the human spirit. A Soldier's Poems ensures that the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and the realities they faced will never be forgotten.

    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 England is engulfed in Civil War.  The Divine right of Royalty versus The Will of Parliament.  The King versus the People.  Poets, born into one side or the other, use chosen words to fight this literary war.  Here, the flamboyant, entitled Cavaliers reveal poets and poems that both embellish their cause and leave us a glorious poetic legacy.
