The poems, steeped in the Romantic tradition, resonate with personal and universal struggles, providing insight into Bront√´'s inner world and the broader human experience. Often overshadowed by her notable novel, "Wuthering Heights," this poetry reflects Bront√´'s keen observation of the natural world and her exploration of the sublime, all while challenging the conventional constraints of 19th-century literary norms. Emily Bront√´ (1818-1848) emerged from the moors of Yorkshire, a landscape that deeply influenced her artistry. As one of the Bront√´ sisters, she was part of a literary family that encouraged her creative expression. Despite leading a largely reclusive life, her profound introspection and keen intelligence culminated in a rich poetic legacy that reveals the struggles and aspirations of her time. Bront√´'s unique perspective as a woman writer in a male-dominated literary world adds a layer of complexity to her work, inviting critical examination and appreciation. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking to delve into the emotional and thematic richness of Bront√´'s work. Perfect for scholars, students, and poetry enthusiasts, "The Complete Poetry of Emily Bront√´" provides an essential exploration of her literary genius, enhancing our understanding of both her poetry and the context in which it was crafted.

The Haunting of Death- Extended

Rachel Lawson

This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
I am beyond life, 
I am beyond strife, 
I am long beyond my last breath, 
I'm among the angelic host, 
some call me a ghost, 
I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.

Pygmalion

Bernard Shaw

Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion is a witty and thought-provoking play that explores themes of social class, transformation, and the power of language. First performed in 1913, the play remains one of Shaw's most celebrated works, blending comedy with sharp social critique.The story follows Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert, who makes a bet with his friend, Colonel Pickering, that he can transform a poor flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a refined lady simply by teaching her proper speech and manners. Eliza, eager to improve her station in life, agrees to the experiment. However, as her transformation progresses, she begins to question her own identity and independence.Shaw cleverly satirizes the rigid British class system, highlighting the superficiality of social status. He emphasizes that one's position in society is often determined by external factors such as language and appearance rather than intelligence or character. Eliza's journey raises important questions about self-worth, agency, and the true meaning of personal change.Unlike the traditional Pygmalion myth, where the sculptor falls in love with his creation, Shaw subverts expectations by making the relationship between Higgins and Eliza complex and ambiguous. While Higgins views Eliza as a project, she ultimately asserts her own autonomy, refusing to be merely a product of his experiment.Pygmalion is a masterpiece of wit and irony, blending elements of romance, drama, and social commentary. Shaw's sharp dialogue and insightful observations on class and gender make the play as relevant today as it was over a century ago. The play later inspired the famous musical My Fair Lady, further cementing its place in literary and theatrical history.With its engaging characters and thought-provoking themes, Pygmalion remains a timeless exploration of identity, transformation, and the human desire for respect and recognition.
