Sinossi

The first African-American author to be published in the United States, George Moses Horton was famously known as the ‘Slave Poet’. He spent most of his life enslaved in a North Carolina plantation, until Union troops reached the state in 1865. His three volumes of poetry cover a wide range of subjects in a variety of styles. Exhibiting a keen ear for rhythm and rhyme, his verses reveal a thorough understanding of human nature, exploring themes of slavery, freedom, politics, faith and love, while celebrating the rural beauty of Chatham County. Although his poetry failed to bring him freedom or profit, his enduring struggle and the beauty of his art have secured his place in the history of American literature, elevating the status of a black poet in a manner unprecedented for his time. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. For the first time in history, this volume presents Horton’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    A shimmering exploration of love, longing, and the strange tenderness of modern life. 
    In her second collection, Ashley Obscura writes into the frequencies of a post-digital era—where desire, memory, embodiment, and signal constantly overlap. Ambient Technology traces the divide between what’s visible and what’s unspoken, the human heartbeat and the coded symbol. These poems reach toward the resilient interior of each of us, where intimacy endures and belonging reshapes itself.

    The Shangri LaTitudes of the title are not some imaginary abodes in the clouds, above and beyond ordinary reality. These latitudes are the ones which lie where the paths of Truth and Beauty cross, forming quadrants where each sub-subject comingles to form fresh ruminations, not unlike those from Rumi, not unlike Four Quartets by Eliot, though using forms unfamiliar to either poet. There are four rooms in the human heart, each one its own experiential zone where passions move around, up down and around within the stream of consciousness, as well as stirring the subconsciousness. Perhaps the latter ruminations form the greater portion of the poems in this selection. This is a book of brief poems deliberately constructed for easy reading, brief pieces that can be picked up and put down within a few moments. One or two poems may take longer to digest, but hopefully the same intensity of feeling will be there, like a bonsai arriving at your coffee table, all trim, newly in flower.

    Marie Corelli's Collected Poems

    Marie Corelli is best known as a novelist, but was always a poet at heart, composing on her strongest passions, whether for love, nature, God, or country.This volume collects poems from across her bestselling books and across her career, curated by Brenda Vyver, her her 'companion' of 40 years, who she left everything to when she died, and who is buried alongside her in a twin grave. It is perhaps worth noting that Brenda drove much of Corelli's work, which ran heavy to erotic descriptions of women.Corelli was the Victorian romance author who outsold Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling put together. Despite critics labelling her as "as "the favourite of the common multitude", she was a favourite of Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria and William Gladstone. She was the only author invited to the coronation of Edward VII, and her friends included Mark Twain, Ouida, the Empress Frederick of Germany, and Alfred Tennyson. Her often darkly romantic works tried to reconcile Christianity with mystical ideas such as reincarnation and astral projection.A true character, Corelli claimed that she had warned the finders of the tomb of Tutankhamun about the "dire punishment" likely to occur to those who rifle Egyptian tombs, claiming to cite an ancient book that indicated that poisons had been left after burials. She . She was associated at some point with the Fraternitas Rosae Crucis; a mystical Rosicrucian group, and her books were a part of the foundation of today's corpus of esoteric philosophy."a woman of deplorable talent who imagined that she was a genius, and was accepted as a genius by a public to whose commonplace sentimentalities and prejudices she gave a glamorous setting." - Grant Allen "the imagination of a Poe with the style of an Ouida and the mentality of a nursemaid." -James Agate
