  Amid the storied halls of the Royal Cambridge Scholastic Institute, Professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith—beloved pedagogue, poet, and relentless seeker of truth—finds himself on the brink of a new academic year. Surrounded by antiquarian volumes and the warm presence of Victoria Emerson-Lloyd, the love of his life, he prepares to illuminate the minds of his students with one of life’s most daunting themes: adversity. From the hush of a predawn study to the bustling energy of a packed university auditorium, Erasmus invites his class on a journey of discovery, introspection, and hope. 
  But adversity is not merely an academic subject—it touches every facet of Erasmus’s own life. Through poignant narrations, tender memories, and stirring poetry, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III unravels a tapestry of trials and triumphs. As Erasmus recounts the struggles that tested his spirit, readers encounter the raw, universal truths of hardship and renewal. In reflective conversations with Victoria—whose gentle presence radiates unconditional love—we witness how true courage emerges in the face of fear and longing. 
  Infused with lyrical verses, deep philosophical insights, and a dash of old-world charm, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III is a testament to the power of narrative and poetry to transform pain into wisdom, fracture into resilience, and separation into reunion. Whether it is the hush of a centuries-old library or the vibrant exchange in a rapt lecture hall, Professor Cromwell-Smith’s enduring lessons remind us that from the moment adversity strikes to the dawn of new beginnings, life continuously offers us the chance to learn, to heal, and ultimately—if we listen with open hearts—to flourish.

  "All the world’s a stage"—but are the men and women merely players, or actors in a heavenly drama?  In God on Stage, renowned author and professor Peter Kreeft explores fifteen great dramas, and within them, five great themes: life, death, suffering, religion, and damnation. From classics like Oedipus the King and Hamlet to modern plays like Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons and Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, Kreeft draws vivid lessons on the big questions we all ask ourselves.  Like the plays it takes up, God on Stage invites readers to smile and frown, ponder and fall in love, and sit back in awe and wonder—at art, God, and the art of God that is man.

  Born in the USA - Exploring...

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. 
   
  The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. 
   
  Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art.  Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.   
   
  In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in the Mid-West. This huge and mythic landscape that stretches from Chicago and the Great Lakes to the deserts of Texas contains a wealth of poets that could summon theme and words to describe and reveal both nature and humanity in sprawling yet intimate detail.  Among their number are Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Vachel Lindsay, Alice Corbin and Ambrose Bierce, brilliant wordsmiths one and all.
