Summary

This is the first published collection of poetry by Jacqueline Hall. The poems cover themes of love, loss, memory and friendship but primarily they are about nature; the observation of native flora and fauna, wildlife and trees and the pleasures of learning. Many were written about familiar haunts and walks in Kent, Oxfordshire and Norfolk. Interwoven are reflections on the natural world's revelations and communications with us, the everyday grief and joy of being human and the mystery and abundance of creation and space.
Available since: 06/05/2025.
Print length: 45 pages.

    In the world’s most celebrated and lyrical love story, the sublime devotion of two young lovers transcends their earthly fate. 
The noble Veronese houses of Montague and Capulet are locked in a bitter feud. When Romeo (a Montague) and Juliet (a Capulet) fall in love, they are swept up in a series of violent events and cruel twists of fortune. Despite the passion and innocence of their love, they fall victim to the enmity between their families, and their story ends in tragedy. 
In this production, Romeo is played by Joseph Fiennes and Juliet by Maria Miles. Elizabeth Spriggs is the Nurse.

    One of the ‘truths’ about writers is that after a successful first book the agonies of the second devour both time and talent.  For Daniel Sheehan that seems to have been turned on its head.  Rather than go forward it was easier to look back, to dredge rather than furrow, gathering words, lines and phrases from the past and re-fashioning, distilling and evolving poems of simplicity, complexity, light and dark. Sometimes very dark. 
His work is often characterized by a modern, intimate, and somewhat mysterious style, focusing deeply on the emotional connection between lovers. 
He is also known as a "modern romantic." Unlike the classical poets who often used complex metaphors, Sheehan’s work is praised for its accessibility and sincerity.

    Life in Yellow is a collection of free-verse poetry that tries to capture the life of a writer, who lives in a world where trends, colors, fashion, and technology are changing very fast, and where the meaning of life changes from one year to the next.He lives on Earth in an alternate future and is a well-known author of fiction prose and free-verse poetry living in the United States of All Colors. Contacted by a literary agent that lived more than a hundred light-years from him, he agrees to write a poem book that describes the society in which he lives, for substantial compensation.Our main character describes his experiences with his shifted perceptions of what sometimes seems an almost surreal world, where people live out-of-time feelings, foresee the future in short glimpses, and blend reality with the digital world. Most of all, enjoy a world that praises fashion, art, and colors.Enjoy another original concept poetry book from the Timeless Adventures series.
