Sinopsis

In "Songs of the Army of the Night," Francis Adams presents a poignant collection of verse that captures the tumult and emotional landscape of war. Written during a time of societal upheaval, Adams employs a lyrical style characterized by vivid imagery and rhythmic cadence, drawing the reader into the somber realities of military life and the haunting toll it exacts on the human spirit. The poems reflect both personal and collective experiences, merging romanticism with stark realism, and positioning Adams within the broader literary context of 19th-century war poetry, which often grappled with themes of heroism, suffering, and existential reflection. Francis Adams, a Scottish poet and physician, was deeply influenced by his experiences and observations of the human condition. Born in 1823, Adams's background in medicine and literature provided him with a unique lens through which to view the ravages of war and its impact on soldiers and society. His own feelings of displacement and critique of contemporary governance are echoed throughout his works, making "Songs of the Army of the Night" not only a reflection of his time but also a personal exploration of his ideals and convictions. This collection is highly recommended for those who seek to understand the emotional depths of warfare through poetic expression. Adams's work resonates with timeless truths, making it essential reading for scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike, offering insights that transcend its era and fostering empathy towards the often-overlooked narratives of war.

    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.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    The dreaming hallowed halls of Dublin may be one of the great educational establishments down the Centuries.  But it is also a place where the Nation’s young learn much more.  Within its walls, courtyards and cloisters these 10 Poets mused and illuminated on the beauty of poetry with eager yet tender words.
