Synopsis

Velvel's Violin, a deeply moving and political fifth collection by TS Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Jacqueline Saphra places us on the shifting ground between past and present. Through its search for missing histories of the Jewish diaspora, the book is a call for empathy and a warning to a world where the legacy of the Holocaust echoes current narratives of prejudice, war, displacement, and migration.
Saphra's precisely-tuned writing ranges through tones of dark humour, lyrical beauty and moments of transcendent joy to find assonance between the turbulence of now and a family history of fragmented stories, irreparable loss and miraculous escapes. Between each poem - forgotten songs, weeping forests, buried violins - sound and silence combine to speak of love, absence and survival.

    She never thought this one day would change her life so drastically... 
    In the shadows of power, where laws are broken and loyalties are sealed with blood, whispers a desire darker than the night. This book is not for the faint of heart. It is a pact with the underworld, signed in sin and desire.

    She was aware of the clatter of her purse as it slipped from her fingers when he pushed her against the large white pillar. He pushed up her dress, reached between her thighs, and groped for her pussy with his fingers. She let it happen. He apparently didn't care about her at all. He was just looking for a pussy to fuck. She wasn't wet, but he didn't care. He turned her to face the pillar and thrust his cock into her from behind. She groaned, but more from pain, because his cock was quite large. While he fucked her from behind, he murmured something in a language she didn't understand. 
    Not suitable for those under 18 years of age.

    "West-Running Brook" is a collection of poetry by the renowned American poet Robert Frost, first published in 1928. The title poem serves as the centerpiece of the collection, with the overarching theme of the flow of time and the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. 
    In "West-Running Brook," Frost uses the metaphor of a brook that flows contrary to the usual direction, symbolizing the poet's own journey against the current of conventional wisdom and tradition. The brook becomes a powerful symbol of resilience and individuality, as well as a reflection of the poet's own introspection and exploration of the human experience. 
    Throughout the collection, Frost's signature style of writing in accessible yet profound language is evident. His poetry often explores themes of nature, rural life, and the complexities of human existence. With vivid imagery and keen observation, Frost invites readers to contemplate the beauty and mystery of the natural world, as well as the deeper truths and universal truths that lie beneath the surface. 
    Among the notable poems in the collection are "Spring Pools," which reflects on the cyclical nature of life and the passage of time; "The Silken Tent," a metaphor for the delicate balance between strength and flexibility in human relationships; and "Desert Places," which explores themes of isolation and existential despair amidst the vastness of the natural world. 
    "West-Running Brook" showcases Frost's mastery of form and language, as well as his ability to capture the complexities of the human condition with depth and nuance. Through its exploration of timeless themes and its lyrical beauty, the collection remains a testament to Frost's enduring legacy as one of America's most beloved poets.

    In this selection... the aim has been to bring within moderate compass a collection of these songs of the people which should fairly represent the range, the descriptive felicity, the dramatic power, and the genuine poetic feeling of a body of verse which is still, it is to be feared, unfamiliar to a large number of those to whom it would bring refreshment and delight. (Summary from introduction).

    Sometimes we just want the best.  But that involves choices, judgements, decisions. And that all depends on our feelings, our mood at the time. 
    Even more so with Poetry.  Would we like a little more pathos, or love, or humour with that? Can we only choose one Keats?  And ’If’? Surely Kipling wrote something else? 
    So difficult to decide. This one or that?  Is it easier to choose your fifty favourite poets or your fifty favourite poems? 
    The argument can go on forever, certainly a few days.  However what we can all agree on is that poets have a way with words that almost all of us respect and admire and can’t compete with.  Who hasn’t wanted to quote some favourite lines to make a better point? 
    In this volume we made those choices, judgements and decisions for you.      
    Some you will love. Maybe not today but tomorrow. Others may not initially be your cup of tea.  But they will all make you think and bring you closer to something..…or someone. 
     This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
