  What ho, chaps! Those frightfully good eggs at Colonial Radio Theatre have seen fit to release some of the earliest stories by the world's greatest comic writer, P. G. Wodehouse. Top hole! "Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest": Bertie Wooster is living the high life, as an English gentleman in New York. But when he's instructed to look after young Wilmot, a fearful drip who just happens to be the son of the fearsome Lady Malvern, matters become jolly complicated jolly quickly. And for some reason, Bertie's valet Jeeves refuses to be of any help at all. What's to be done?"Leave it to Jeeves": Has Jeeves let his master down? Bertie's attempts to play cupid result in the most atrocious misunderstanding, and it's all because he took Jeeves' advice! Now the happiness of Bertie's pal Corky (AKA starving artist Bruce Corcoran) hangs in the balance, and his latest portrait is... Well, let's just say it's not quite up to snuff. Jeeves will have to exert the old cerebellum to its fullest extent to get the chaps out of this pickle.

  The Poetry of Alice Meynell -...

  Alice Christiana Gertrude Thompson was born on 22nd September 1847 in Barnes, London. 
   
  Her family travelled widely meaning that Alice’s early years were spent around England, Switzerland, and France before finally settling in Italy. Her dedicated interest in religion brought a conversion to the Catholic faith.  Much of that viewpoint is seen in her first published volume in 1875, ‘Preludes’. 
   
  In 1876 she married Wilfred Meynell, the newspaper publisher and editor and together they set up and published a number of magazines as well as publishing the initial works of several poets including Francis Thompson. 
   
  Despite a hectic lifestyle of her own poetry and essays together with the family business she gave birth to eight children. Her health though was erratic, and she was frequently incapacitated by illness including migraines and depressions. 
   
  As the new century dawned she along with many other artists began to question the colonial needs of Empire with its segregation and oppression. In particular she sought and gained a role in the Women’s Suffrage movement as it attempted to obtain greater equality for women.  
   
  Today Alice is often overlooked for the quality and stature of her poetry which, during her career brought serious official consideration. She was twice considered but passed over for the post of poet laureate after the deaths of Alfred Lord Tennyson and Alfred Austin. 
   
  Alice Meynell died on 27th November 1922. She is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery in London.

  Meditations in an Emergency

  Frank O Hara

  Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. 
  Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” 
  Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. 
  This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.
