Flood

Jessica Mookherjee

Sinossi

In Flood, Jessica Mookherjee inhabits several identities in her 'bone-framed coat'. With overarching themes of migration, otherness, sexual awakening, and maternal mental illness, we encounter the aftermath of catastrophe, of loss and being lost.
Here, 'time folds us into origami boats' – and the poems swell with the surging tides of youth and of becoming, of what we inherit and what we forge as our own path – and what happens when we jump into the depths and experience life in full-flow. Alive with wildlife and nightlife, mythmaking and bad romance, the everyday and the otherworldly, Flood is a prodigious debut collection from a truly distinctive and vital voice, now reissued in this new edition by Nine Arches Press.

Don Juan Canto 1

Lord Byron

Don Juan is a long narrative poem by Byron, based very loosely on the legend of the evil seducer, Don Juan. The first and second of (eventually) seventeen Cantos composed during Byron's self-imposed exile from England appeared, anonymously, in July 1819 and were greeted with scandal, condemnation, admiration and hilarity. Modern critics generally consider the self-proclamed 'epic', which remained incomplete at Byron's death, to be his masterpiece. (Summary by Peter Gallagher).

The Divine Comedy

Dante Alighieri

The Divine Comedy (Italian: Commedia, later christened "Divina" by Giovanni Boccaccio), written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321, is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, the last great work of literature of the Middle Ages and the first great work of the Renaissance. A culmination of the medieval world-view of the afterlife, it establishes the Tuscan dialect in which it is written as the Italian standard, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. - The Divine Comedy is composed of three canticas (or "cantiche") — Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise) — composed each of 33 cantos (or "canti"). The very first canto serves as an introduction to the poem and is generally not considered to be part of the first cantica, bringing the total number of cantos to 100. - The poet tells in the first person his travel through the three realms of the dead, lasting during the Easter Triduum in the spring of 1300.

Mike Blake

Open A Eye: Advanced Sex Robots : 
(AI Sci-Fa-Fi Book 1) 
Well; what can one say, about the sexy robots on display. 
They wont replace real women hooray. 
But, was that their intention ~~ whose to say. 
More seriously.. 
Its a poem written about the oncoming  
onslaught of the latest AI Robots that are now entering the sex industry. 
It is a fanciful look into the probing of the mind of a Guy who engages with  
his fantasy into a robot reality. 
It opens his mind and his eye, to the thrills of his female quarry and the 
wink with an 'Aye' sigh, into his forming relationship.  
It is a fantasy poem which is now quickly becoming a possibility in reality ! 
Ironically ~ *NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem.*
