  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
   
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
   
  War may be called diplomacy by other means but for the youth of a nation, pressed into service for that nation, its effects are horror, terror, injury, trauma and the likelihood of death.  Within the words of these 10 poets, dreams, ambition and reality collide into some very vivid and moving words.

  Night.  The day has gone. Departed.  And the dark embrace, the inky shadows of night descend. For many a time to unwind and slumber. For some a nagging doubt that all is not well.  That some primeval and primordial happening may yet go bump in the night. 
  But for our poets the night is a time of wonder and imagination as well as many other emotions and feelings.  Among our ranks of gloried talents are Keats, Coleridge, William Morris, DH Lawrence, Whitman, Longfellow and many more besides.  Their descriptions capture what they see and feel as perhaps only a poet can. 
  Among our ranks of gloried talents are Thomas Hood, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Clare, Herman Melville and many more besides.  Their descriptions capture what they see and feel as perhaps only a poet can. 
  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.

  Some thoughts are too heavy for daylight. 
  In the quiet hours of the night, when the world grows still, and distractions fade away, our deepest emotions often rise to the surface. Nighttime Thoughts is a heartfelt collection of poetry that explores love, loss, motherhood, healing, self-discovery, and the journey of finding yourself again after life changes you. 
  Through raw honesty and reflection, Brianna Foster invites readers into the moments we rarely share—the battles fought in silence, the memories that linger, the weight of responsibility, and the strength found in continuing forward even when the path feels uncertain. 
  Whether you are navigating heartbreak, struggling to remember who you were before life became overwhelming, or searching for hope in a difficult season, these poems serve as a reminder that you are not alone. 
  Nighttime Thoughts is for anyone who has ever stayed awake replaying memories, questioning their path, or searching for a piece of themselves in the darkness—and found a reason to keep going. 
  "Some of the most important conversations we have are the ones we have with ourselves after everyone else has gone to sleep." 
  This version is optimized for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple Books, and your Shopify store because it naturally includes strong search terms like healing poetry, motherhood poetry, self-discovery, resilience, and emotional poetry collection.

  The Father - A Tragedy in Three...

  August Strindberg

  If you cast a reasonable doubt in someone, are you responsible for their actions? Especially when that doubt was planted in order to manipulate? 
  This is one of the central questions posed in August Strindberg's "The Father," a three act play about a power struggle between the over-domineering Adolf and his wife Laura as they discuss the future plans for their child. All doubts come to a head, however, when Laura points out that a child's paternity can never be proven, and thus, under common law, strips Adolf of his power over the child. Through deceit, treachery, and manipulation, the plan to get rid of "The Father" is set in motion, and only time will tell if Adolf is a madman filled to the brim with jealous rage or righteous fury.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. "For the child enduring a long winter of the heart, here is Spring’s gentlest whisper." 
   
  Winter felt endless, and the world outside seemed painted in shades of cold gray. For the child hiding behind the heavy curtains, stepping out felt like an impossible journey. But Spring doesn't knock loudly; it whispers. 
   
  From the quiet cracking of the frozen earth to the "ticklish" touch of the warm breeze, and the sudden, joyous explosion of yellow flowers, Asleep in Spring's Embrace follows the tender journey of a child learning to trust the world again. Through the soothing rhythm of nature, the protagonist discovers that the warmth they were searching for was waiting right outside the window.
