  Judas Goat - Poems

  "Stellar . . . with great humanity, grace and precision." —Nicole Sealey, author of Ordinary Beast 
   
   
   
  Gabrielle Bates's electric debut collection Judas Goat plumbs the depths of intimate relationships. The book's eponymous animal is used to lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared, and its harrowing existence echoes through this spellbinding collection of forty poems, which wrestle with betrayal and forced obedience, violence and young womanhood, and the "forbidden felt language" of sexual and sacred love. These poems conjure encounters with figures from scriptures, domesticated animals eyeing the wild, and mothering as a shape-shifting, spectral force; they question what it means to love another person and how to exorcise childhood fears. All the while, the Deep South haunts, and no matter how far away the speaker moves, the South always draws her back home. 
   
   
   
  In confession, in illumination, Bates establishes herself as an unflinching witness to the risks that desire necessitates, as Judas Goat holds listeners close and whispers its unforgettable lines.

  The Road of Dreams - A Masque...

  In The Road of Dreams, Agatha Christie reveals a lesser-known side of her creative spirit — that of a poet. Originally published in 1925, this rare and evocative collection gathers over 30 lyrical works, divided into four thematic sections: A Masque from Italy, Ballads, Dreams and Fantasies, and Other Poems. Rich in emotional depth and lyrical sensitivity, the collection invites readers into a more personal and introspective world than the one found in her famous detective novels.The opening sequence, A Masque from Italy, offers a theatrical and romantic meditation on love and loss, through characters like Harlequin, Columbine, and Pierrot. The Ballads section delves into historical and legendary themes, often told in traditional narrative verse, while Dreams and Fantasies explores imagination, longing, and the elusive nature of beauty and memory. Finally, Other Poems presents more reflective, sometimes melancholic, pieces that touch on war, time, and personal grief.Christie's poetic voice is graceful, nostalgic, and often haunting. Though not widely known for her poetry, these works show her early literary experimentation and a love for rhythm, atmosphere, and imagery. Readers familiar only with Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple may be surprised to discover the quiet lyricism and emotional candor within these verses.The Road of Dreams is not just a curiosity for Christie collectors — it is a meaningful and contemplative work of poetry that stands on its own as a testament to the writer's depth, versatility, and inner life.Contents:A Masque from Italy• Prologue: Sung by Columbine• Harlequin's Song• Pierrot's Song to the Moon• Pierrette Dancing on the Green• Columbine's Song• Pulcinella• The Song of Pierrot by the Hearth• The Last Song of Columbine• Pierrot Grown Old• Epilogue: Spoken by PunchinelloBallads• The Ballad of the Flint• Elizabeth of England• The Bells of Brittany• Isolt of Brittany• Dark Sheila• Ballad of the Maytime• The Princess SingsDreams and Fantasies• The Dream Spinners• Down in the Wood• The Road of Dreams• Heritage• The Wanderer• The Dream City• A PassingOther Poems• Spring• Young Morning• Hymn to Ra• A Palm Tree in the Desert• World Hymn 1914• Easter 1918• To a Beautiful Old Lady• Wild Roses• Love Passes• Progression• There Where My Lover Lies

  Meeting of Minds - Volume IX

  By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
  An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen.
  This installment breaks the pattern of other episodes by featuring playwright William Shakespeare surrounded not by other illustrious historical figures, but with the fruits of his own imagination. Following a brief discussion of his early life, Shakespeare is joined by the Dark Lady of the Sonnets, Hamlet, Romeo, Othello, and the Ghost of Hamlet's Father. Expounding on the theme of love, the most enigmatic and compelling of Shakespeare's characters challenge each other and their mutual creator to resolve long-standing controversies about their identities and inner conflicts.
