I am open; these words are my sutures. Shades is an attempt to reconcile who I am as a man with a society that seems to be fluctuating and struggling at every turn. I show my encounters with family, religion, queerness, heartbreak, COVID-19, and politics. This is a look at my life in 2021 shown through poetry.
Cold Swimming: Gently, rub me down.This Poem is about the art of cold swimming, and it is an art.You need eventually to be able to breath properly, and pace yourself in cold water, timing is all important, observing the seasons as to how much your 'own' body may take.We're all built differently, some of us have seal skin ;) others paper.But we can all enter cold water for our own purification and enjoyment and that feeling of being blessed. ***** Please leave your Review/feedback, many thanks.***** To see more Poems by the same Author please click the Link HERE: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00SG40RM8To contact the Author: Please add me Mike Miko on Facebook & then message me, thanks.https://www.facebook.com/mike.cco1I will then contact the Author your behalf.Instagram: wild_poetrys / wild.poetry.webs Please Like :)Tiktok: wild_poetrysFB: https://www.facebook.com/New.Poets.CornerWebsite: www.wild-poetry.comTwitter: miko_1_dollar ~ Tumblr : ccobes ~Voir livre

DescriptionParis, 1955. Isabelle Duval paints the city’s soul onto canvas, her quiet life upended when Pierre Moreau—a brash artist with Marseille salt in his veins—walks into her world. Together, they build a gallery of dreams, only to find their love tested by a shadowy patron whose obsession with art hides a deadly secret. As Franco’s regime bleeds into Barcelona, a fiery Spanish painter, Sofia Márquez, seeks refuge in their gallery, her crimson-stained canvases exposing a past she can’t escape. But when a forged portrait implicates Sofia in fascist atrocities, Isabelle and Pierre must choose: protect their friend or salvage their crumbling legacy. From the ashes of a burned mural to the glittering lies of Paris’ elite, their journey crescendos in a deadly game of truth and betrayal. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale and The Paris Wife, The Art of Us is a sweeping saga of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between art and resistance. Can a masterpiece outlive its maker—or will the serpent of greed devour them all?Voir livre

It received its British premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in August 2022, directed by Natalie Abrahami.

Ash and Anya were happy, just the two of them. Then the baby came. Ash has spent the first two weeks of his son's life trying to work out where he fits. He watches his mother holding her grandchild for the first time, mesmerised by the mystery and delight of a new life. After she leaves, Ash watches Anya feeding their son – so close, almost intertwined.
