  There are 59 species of British butterfly and each one deserves a couple of stunning photographs, some interesting facts about its life cycle and a poem dedicated to it.   
  Lifelong butterfly lover and poet Jonathan Bradley and his photographer friend Yealand Kalfayan have done just that in this colourful and inspiring book.
  Bradley has also included a mini biography of several famous lepidopterists who have left their mark in this radiant world.
  This lovely, bright hardback is a feast for the eyes.

  The Poetry of Churchyards

  The church building has been pivotal to man’s spiritual and religious life for centuries. 
  For many the interior of a church is literally their one to one with God.  The interiors, whether soaring or simple, ornate or minimal, are built for communion, for worship. 
  Outside and surrounding our many churches is the churchyard; the burial ground, the repository for faithful souls. An all-weather idyll of calm around where many a poet has sat and contemplated the surrounding world. 
  The stone may be old, weathered and worn. The trees and grass overgrown and wind-blown but this is a sanctuary, a shelter from frenetic life.  Moments here in reflective solitude make thought redemptive. This is unquestioning ground that makes no demands on those who seek to stop and wonder. 
  Within this volume of glorious verse questions are asked, decisions are made.  And whether of Faith or not this oasis of calm brings solitude, renewal and an awareness that Life can produce answers to the most pressing of problems.

  Three Taverns

  Edwin Arlington Robinson

  In this collection of dramatic narratives, Robinson explores his key interests: character and man's confrontation with the rocks and hard places of human existence. He gives us a fascinating piece of alternate history: a dialogue between Alexander Hamlton and Aaron Burr, testing who will betray and who will resist. He gives that bitter old man, John Brown, full scope to vent his deep-seated anger, and lets Rahel Varnhagen, in her old age, touch us with her memories of love. The title poem is a vigorous account of himself by St. Paul, seemingly not too long post-Damascus.
