  In Open Mouths Sharan Hunjan presents a vision of a world simultaneously familiar and strikingly strange. The quotidian, the domestic, the commonplace are interrogated and manipulated through the poet's eye for detail, linguistic sense of play and restless imaginative and philosophical impulses. The shortcomings of language, the gulf between words and meaning, between experience and description, the space between translation, between places, between generations—these are the problems with which Hunjan grapples. Full of seemingly quiet, yet startlingly profound thought, razor-sharp wordplay, raw emotion and dazzling image and phrase-making, Open Mouths marks the emergence of another stellar talent from the 4 BROWN GIRLS WHO WRITE stable.

  Leaves Of Grass

  Walt Whitman

  Walt Whitman consciously set out to forge a personal path for himself as a poet. Inspired by contemporaries like Emerson who expressed a need for a new, uniquely American style of poetry, Whitman eschewed conventions he saw as outdated or undemocratic. Setting aside traditional rhyme, meter, and even brevity, Whitman favored a style that was declarative, direct, and maximalist. For subject matter he focused on the common individual, as democratic representative of all humanity, and the natural world of which humanity exists as an integral part. "Song of Myself" is perhaps the most well-known exemplar of this aesthetic. Whitman's poetic career took an abrupt turn during the American Civil War, and his poems from that time draw on his experiences volunteering at military hospitals. These, coupled with his elegy for President Lincoln after his assassination ("When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd"), helped to cement Whitman's position as a particularly American voice. Among Whitman's recurring themes are the embracing of sensual pleasures, including frank acknowledgments of homosexuality. This latter aspect drove several contemporary critics to reject his work as indecent. Threats of censorship and outright banning encouraged his supporters to speak more publicly in defense of his work, however, and Whitman is now considered to be one of America's most important poets. Leaves of Grass was continually edited and extended over most of Whitman's life. Months before his death, he announced that the next edition would be the complete and definitive one. Referred to now as the "deathbed edition," it was published in 1892 by Whitman's literary executors, and is the basis for this ebook.

  When the British Government turn down a revolutionary weapons system in favour of the new Euro fighter they don't realise the wrath their decision will cause. The only radar system capable of detecting the new Thor's Hammer is the experimental Spyglass system being transported on a cruise liner commanded by ex-Navy Captain Eric Swanson. Martin Westfarland, designer of Thor's Hammer, decides to teach the British Government a lesson by sinking the liner and destroying Spyglass before passing Thor's Hammer onto the Iraqis who plan to use it to deliver a deadly bio-weapon to the west. Through a series of action-filled events, Swanson and Squadron Leader Gerry Denton are brought together to thwart the terrorist attack, while the SAS are assigned to locate and destroy the chemical lab in the Syrian Desert, which created the virus. Unfortunately the virus has already been loaded onto Thor's Hammer. Thus it falls to Denton to fly the Typhoon Euro fighter against the faster and stealthier Thor's Hammer before it can deliver its deadly payload.

  No Name - A Story for the Mind...

  The poetry collection No Name depicts the path of the heart, and the path of the mind, through the images of the Deer, and the Wolf. These two paths, along with the symbol animals that illustrate them, are very different at first sight. The mind divides, and the heart unites. Through the eyes of the author, however, the Deer and the Wolf are both magical creatures, and equally dear to her. All symbols that are presented in the book live together and represent wholeness. And although the author reveals the message that each of the two creatures wants the other dead, there is one subtle voice intertwined in the story that insists that both the Dear, and the Wolf should remain alive. You can hear this voice while embracing the journey yourself.
