Summary

Before history, there was Homer. Experience the definitive, comprehensive saga that shaped Western civilization, philosophy, and storytelling.

This essential volume collects these immortal Greek Epics:

The Iliad: Witness the final, bloody stages of the Trojan War, focusing on the fierce wrath of the greatest warrior, Achilles, and the noble tragedy of Hector. This is the ultimate tale of honor, fate, and the meddling gods of Olympus.

The Odyssey: Follow the cunning hero Odysseus on his desperate, long, arduous journey home after the war. Survive encounters with the monstrous Cyclops, resist the deadly song of the Sirens, and face down vengeful gods, all while his loyal wife Penelope fights to preserve his kingdom.

Homer's monumental work is more than just epic poetry; it is the source of all Greek mythology, a profound exploration of human heroism, moral choices, and the eternal desire for home. An indispensable classic literature collection.

    How News Travels - POEMS

    This is a debut collection of poetry read by the author. 
    The specific beauties of the poems in Judy Katz’s How News Travels have to do with their accounts of actual human living—among family, among friends, in the real world, with its griefs and losses and growth, its immersions in time, hour by hour, day by day, its immersions in consciousness. The other beauty here, the perpetual beauty, is the illumination—the afterglow, the underglow, the aurora—with which the poet cradles and surrounds her world. A clarifying, eloquent distillation of the truth of our experience, and a wonderful book.  
    — Vijay Seshadri  
    By exploring presence and absence and presence in absence, Judy Katz creates quietly revelatory elegies and odes for the shifting relationships of mid-life: the death of a mother, the independence of grown children, the intimacy of romance and trust between husband and wife. These poems feel both inevitable and surprising, as they invite us into the passage of time. “There is a trail I can follow–– / each of us leaves it, / our light impress…” she writes, and we are transformed by her attention to detail, fresh imagery, and wonder. This is a collection to savor, for “who can sleep / when it keeps arriving / over and over / the world, the world.”  
    — Ellen Bass 
    The voice is so alive, often so playful—and again and again, you will find yourself in a dialogue with the unknowable....How News Travels is a stunning book.  
    — D. Nurkse

    The breathing sound of birth pangs.

Late Autumn, Flaming SunsetMy Love, Sunae,Bo ( Pure Love, Story)The Reason Yew Trees have survived for 2,000 yearsAuthor said the feeling of republishing of this collection after 30 years, is not only strange , but even magical. Well then he is reborn, let's do some cuddles. What is poetry? He asked this question 30years ago too. Like finding an answer to aquestion that everyone can ask but no one can still on the line of verbal barbarism,as much as the atar in the night sky scattered. He ask poetry again. He said that although he may not be phonex whose wings flutter across the light, he may not a phoenex who eats bamboo shoots and does not anything other than the precious paulownia tree but like a skylark singing in the spring, like a cicada enjoying the summer, like a wildflower blooming in abundance in the field in the fall, even if it's an old tree full of snow flakes in winter , It's good. So he hope to do this best to write healthy articles that comfort and support everyone and himself.

    An old man in a military uniform and a Santa hat is dumped at the police station. He doesn’t speak English, and a lawyer’s business card is baited on the meat hook that hangs on his neck. As a lawyer, a police officer and a translator struggle to unravel the truth, they uncover a past that won’t stay buried, and a decades-old quest for justice that must be served.
       
    This edition includes a foreword by Louise Arbour, former Supreme Court of Canada justice and former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and notes on the Lavinian language created for the play.
       
    Butcher premiered at Alberta Theatre Projects in October 2014.
       
    Praise for Nicolas Billon’s Iceland:
       
    ‘Billon is a masterful storyteller, drawing us into his characters’ lives via richly detailed monologues, full of haunting imagery that echoes throughout the play.’

    “Scribire iussit amor” 
    Ovid 
    (“Love compelled me to write”) 
    As with most art, the words in this book were inspired by love. 
    Inspired by women I have loved and one in particular, who I may have loved before. 
    The woman who inspired many of these words is one of the very few truly spiritual people I’ve ever known. In spite of a life often tormented by cruelty and neglect, she retained a rare spirituality and compassion. 
    She enriched my life and for that I will never forget her. 
    These are some of the poems. 
    Written over the past couple of years (something creative came out of the COVID lockdown). Some describe experiences and feelings directly related to my relationships and circumstances. Some figments of my imagination. 
    This book is divided into three sections: 
    Life, Love, and Loss 
    You can start reading from the beginning through to the end, or you can pick a section depending on your mood, or dip in and out at random.
