Sinossi

Poetry Metrics explores a fascinating intersection: using objective measurements to analyze the subjective art of poetry. It argues that applying metrics enhances our understanding of poetic structure, rhythm, and form. For instance, the book examines how different metrical patterns, like iambic pentameter, create distinct effects. By understanding elements like scansion and poetic devices, readers can move beyond subjective interpretations and gain a more nuanced appreciation of a poem's artistry.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with foundational concepts like meter and poetic devices, before delving into specific metrical patterns and structural forms such as sonnets. It presents close readings of both classic and contemporary poems, supported by quantitative analyses of syllable counts and stress patterns. A key insight is that metrics provide a valuable toolkit for literary criticism, complementing traditional methods. This approach offers students, educators, and scholars a rigorous framework for poetic analysis.

Orgsm: A Memoir - Inside the...

Ruwan Meepagala

An insider's true story of the "Orgasm cult” - written in the shadow of the 2025 federal conviction. 
At twenty-four, he was broke, anxious, and sexually dysfunctional. A postcard advertising a "Meetup on Female Orgasm" seemed absurd. He went anyway. What he found changed everything. 
Within months, he transformed from socially awkward to confident "stroker" living in an orgasm commune in Manhattan. The women were radiant and sexually empowered. The men possessed an almost supernatural ability to "feel" what others wanted. Every conversation was vulnerable. Every moment alive with sensation. It felt like he'd found the cheat codes to human connection. 
But there was a price he couldn't see yet. 
This raw, untold memoir reveals the real story not covered in Netflix's Orgasm Inc. 
The Netflix documentary told you it was a cult. 
The Bloomberg investigation exposed the crimes. 
The FBI built the case. 
But no one has shown you how it actually worked from the inside - until now. 
This is the primary source account. Two years inside at the peak. 
The complete psychological architecture of how intelligent people get seduced, transformed, and nearly destroyed. 
Not a victim interview looking back. 
The story shows how intelligent people get trapped in high-control groups. How the same methods used to help people can be weaponized to control them. How trauma and transformation can be impossible to separate. 
This is the nuanced, uncomfortable truth that most coverage misses.
