Sinopsis

In 'Nonsense Songs,' Edward Lear presents a whimsical collection of verses that defy convention, embracing absurdity and playful imagination. Written in a lyrical style that interweaves rhyme with rhythm, these songs showcase Lear's mastery of linguistic invention, characterized by his use of nonsensical creatures and fantastical scenarios. This work stands within the Victorian literary context that celebrated children's literature and the burgeoning genre of nonsense, reflecting Lear's unique ability to engage both children and adults through laughter and satire. Edward Lear, a pivotal figure in the development of comic verse, was greatly influenced by his own eccentric upbringing and lifelong fascination with language and illustration. As a painter and draftsman, Lear's visual artistry complemented his literary pursuits, enabling him to create imaginative worlds filled with nonsensical characters like the famous Jumblies and the Owl and the Pussycat. His experiences as a children's tutor further fueled his desire to create works that inspire joy and curiosity in young minds. Readers will find 'Nonsense Songs' an irresistible invitation to explore a realm of imagination where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. This collection not only entertains but also encourages creativity and the appreciation of language's playful aspects, making it an essential read for both children and adults who cherish the delight of absurdity.

    Reversing Entropy - Poems

    From the pen of beloved poet Luci Shaw comes a new collection that celebrates inspired creativity as an antidote to chaos.
    The poet's own words best describe the heart of this pinnacle collection of new work by beloved writer Luci Shaw:
    
    Entropy: A measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system, its lack of order or predictability, resulting in a gradual decline into disorder. 
    
    Our universe, and the systems within it, constantly shift from their created states of order towards disorder, or chaos. The second law of thermodynamics asserts that entropy, or disorder, always increases with time. Creative human activities such as art, architecture, music, story or film are human efforts to halt and reverse this loss of meaning. Thus, smaller systems, like individual poems, become highly ordered as they receive energy from outside themselves, from the poet. They reverse entropy because they are moving from a state of disorder (all the random ideas, words and phrases available to the writer) into an orderly form designed by the writer to create meaningful images and concepts in the reader's mind (which is where the word "imag-ination" comes from.) This transfer of images, concepts and ideas into the mind of a reader is the task of poetry and the calling of the poet. Just as a composer of music gathers rhythms, notes, melodies, or harmony, organizing them into fugues or sonatas or concertos, so poets work and write to discover ways of arranging their responses to the world in words that introduce meaning and beauty in the mind of the reader. 
    
    Which is what I've been trying to do for most of my life.

    "Dot. Line. Circle. Human." is not an ordinary story. 
    It is a journey. A transformation. 
    A tiny nothing – a dot – falls to Earth and begins to... feel. Think. Grow. 
    Chapter by chapter, it changes its shape – and maybe, so do you. 
    In 51 poetic, surprising, and profound episodes, this dot experiences everything we know ourselves: 
    Doubt, discovery, retreat, departure, pain, hope – and the quiet power of change. 
    What begins harmlessly becomes a subtle reflection of our own development: 
    How we curl up when it gets too much. 
    How we sometimes stumble, crash, break. 
    How we reinvent ourselves – as a line, as a tree, as light. 
    And how we might eventually come to realize: 
    We were never "just a dot." 
    We are a story in motion. 
    With clear language, tender depth, and a touch of cheeky poetry, this book invites you to remember yourself: 
    your roots, your radiance, your humanity. 
    A book to read slowly. 
    And feel for a long time.
