In "Poems and Lyrics of the Joy of Earth," George Meredith presents a lyrical exploration of nature, love, and the human condition, showcasing his masterful command of language and form. This collection epitomizes the philosophical and emotive depth characteristic of the Victorian era, fusing romantic ideals with a reflective awareness of modernity. Through vivid imagery and dynamic rhythms, Meredith crafts poignant verses that celebrate the beauty of the earth while occasionally grappling with existential themes, ultimately revealing the interconnectedness of these experiences. George Meredith (1828-1909) was not merely a poet but also a novelist and social critic whose experiences as a war correspondent and observer of societal change shaped his creative vision. His tenure as a member of the literary community was marked by friendships with contemporaries like Alfred Lord Tennyson and Thomas Hardy, which enriched his perspectives on art and life. Meredith's passion for progressive causes and his contemplative traits are evident in this collection, providing a backdrop to his reflections on nature's profound impact on human emotion. Readers of poetry and lovers of nature will find "Poems and Lyrics of the Joy of Earth" to be a rich tapestry of thought and emotion, inviting them to bask in the beauty of language while contemplating their own relationship with the world.

    A classic in the Bukowski poetry canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love. 
    A book that captures the Dirty Old Man of American letters at his fiercest and most vulnerable, on a subject that hits home with all of us. Charles Bukowski was a man of intense emotions, someone an editor once called a “passionate madman.” Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love—its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power. 
    ""there is a loneliness in this world so great 
    that you can see it in the slow movement of 
    the hands of a clock.""

    Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden Hill, Kensington on May 29th 1874. 
    Originally after attending St Pauls School he went to Slade to learn the art of illustration.  In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic before going on to writing weekly columns in the Daily News and the Illustrated London News. 
    In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life. 
    For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories which were much influenced by his own beliefs.  A large man – 6’ 4” and 21st in weight he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are – a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place but where should he actually be…….? 
    He was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, short stories, essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems.  It is on his poems that we concentrate this volume.  They range from the virtues and vices of England and the English to his world view and religious beliefs. 
    GK Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June, 1936 and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
