Summary

In "Bay: A Book of Poems," D. H. Lawrence crafts a poignant collection that reflects his profound engagement with the natural world and human emotions. Characterized by its lyrical intensity and evocative imagery, this anthology delves into themes of love, loss, and the quest for understanding within the chaos of existence. The poems, steeped in Lawrence's trademark existential sentiments, often address the tension between industrial modernity and the serenity of nature, revealing a melancholic yet hopeful tone indicative of the early 20th-century literary context in which he wrote, as he sought to bridge the chasm between the psyche and the organic world. D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930), a pivotal figure in modernist literature, was influenced by his tumultuous upbringing in the coal mining regions of England. His exploratory nature, alongside his disdain for the mechanization of human relationships, informed his poetic voice. Lawrence's deep appreciation for nature, exploratory philosophy, and commitment to emotional authenticity resonate throughout this collection, which serves as a reflection of both his inner turmoil and the cultural shifts of his time. "Bay: A Book of Poems" is essential reading for those who appreciate poetry that melds the personal with the universal. Lawrence's evocative language and intense emotional depth invite readers to contemplate the beauty and fragility of life. This collection stands as a testament to the complexity of human experience, making it a must-read for scholars, poets, and lovers of literature alike.

    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.

    Gather it from memory.

Let it touch the earth.
In Touch the Earth, Drew Jackson continues the project he began in God Speaks Through Wombs, reflecting on the Gospel of Luke through poetry. Touch the Earth picks up in chapter nine and continues through the end of Luke's Gospel. Part protest poetry, part biblical commentary, Jackson presents the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the "fresh words / that speak of / things impossible."
From the feeding of the multitude ("The best hosts always provide / take home containers") to the resurrection of Jesus ("the belly of mother Earth / is, indeed, a womb . . . the humus of life is where we become fully human"), this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance—against all hope—that's been in the gospel all along.

    You live and then you die. That's the only certainty there is, right? Using love as its guide, Proof of Life on Earth, the debut poetry collection by Degna Stone, looks at all the stops between our arrival and our departure. These poems examine matters of the heart (both the metaphorical and medical kind), of race and discrimination, of the body, mind and self – each in forensic detail, attentive and curious of what moves, shapes, and makes us alive.
In between are the landmarks which populate the rich terrain of this collection; not only of our lives through youth to adulthood, but of history, of the long shadows of empire, and of landscapes themselves - especially those of the northeast of England, evocative, rugged and monumental. Stone's deft and scalpel-sharp poetry explores human existence shaped by mortality and experience, and asks what it means to do more than survive – to live in defiance, openness and awareness.

    Alfred Lichtenstein was born on the 23rd August 1889, in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, the son of a Jewish manufacturer.  He grew up in Berlin before studying law at Erlangen in Bavaria.   
 
A writer in the Expressionist style his poems and stories are short but beautifully honed works.  His tragically curtailed life allowed only a small part of his talents to rest with us.  Undoubtedly a full life would have given the world a very gifted literary force. 
 
Alfred Lichenstein volunteered for duty in the German Army for World War I.  He died on the front at the Somme in the early months of combat on the 25th September 1914.  He was 25.
