Synopsis

In "The Dalby Bear, and Other Ballads," George Borrow immerses the reader in a rich tapestry of English folklore and oral tradition. This collection showcases Borrow's signature style, which blends lyrical narrative with vivid imagery and vibrant dialogue. The ballads explore themes of nature, heritage, and the supernatural, all while reflecting the cultural landscape of mid-19th century England. Borrow's deep appreciation for regional dialects and local lore amplifies the authenticity of his work, providing a unique insight into the people and places that inspired these tales. George Borrow, an English writer, and linguist, was known for his passionate interest in various cultures and languages. His travels across the British Isles and into Europe profoundly influenced his writings, allowing him to cultivate a distinctive voice that speaks to a wide audience. "The Dalby Bear" exemplifies his dedication to preserving the oral traditions of the time, influenced by the Romantic era's fascination with folklore and the nation's heritage. Readers interested in cultural history, folklore, or the evolution of balladry will find "The Dalby Bear, and Other Ballads" to be an enriching exploration. Borrow's masterful storytelling and keen cultural insights make this collection a delightful and essential addition to any literary canon.

    "The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and—in a word—frank.

    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. 
    Religion has inspired much of the World’s incredible art.  In this volume we learn from those poets that worked within the First Estate to help spread their beliefs through verse to audiences in both the religious and secular worlds.

    The storm arrives, unbidden yet unstoppable, sculpting the world in reckless white. The north wind, a faceless mason, works without plan or patience—bastions rise, wreaths drape, roads vanish. No symmetry, no restraint, only the wild hand of winter shaping chaos into fleeting grandeur.
    By dawn, the architect is gone. What remains is a frozen wonder, a masterpiece of whim and force, too perfect to last, too wild to be remade.

    "The most amazing trips are made are within an open heart! Intimate and universal, Love Talks is more than a poetry collection. Fall upon a caveat. A cue. A call to action. Harshada Pathare's vast verses honor existence and its lifeblood: honest interconnection—art, as formed by melding separate souls. Prepare for a pilgrimage. The terminus: unknown. Along the way, you'll wander hallowed halls and navigate nature's raw splendor. Cozy cafés, spattered studios, and delicious dreamscapes await. Take a moonlit promenade beneath a pantheistic sky that glints with possibility. Discover—rediscover—what it means to truly feel . . . Surrender to the sacred spell of love — 
    Like a messenger from gentler times, Harshada reminds readers to slow down, settle in, and drink of the sweetest enigmas. Dreamers, modern mavens, lovers — set aside a slate of time, and contemplate the timeless."
