Sinopsis

Far Field is the third and final book in The Auchensale Trilogy, a series of poetry cycles capturing the changing rural landscape of the West of Scotland. Following on from its predecessors Black Cart and Bale Fire, the book consists of three cycles bound together by footers.
A number of poems in the early part of the book are in response to paintings by the Glasgow Boys particularly those painted during their time spent in agricultural communities. Many of the poems are highly personal with a number about family members. These include a series of elegies for his late father. It also focuses on the present day looking to the challenges ahead for the family farm and that passing baton to the next generation.

    The Snow Globe is Jenny Pagdin's powerful, sensitive and stark debut collection. Written from first-hand experience, under the glass dome of postpartum psychosis, her poetry depicts a fearsome, glittering inner storm of severe mental illness during new motherhood, moving through illness, through snow flurry and sunshine, to a place of recovery and love.
    Threaded through this book are illuminating and courageous poems that settle and unsettle in equal measure. They cluster moth-like around spiritual and mythical figures, unravelling and remaking themselves with needlework and yarn, threaded along shorelines and under starry night skies. Jenny Pagdin's skilful and attentive use of a variety of forms reflects multiple and jarring realities – with poems dancing their own chaotic, fragmented and strange glinting beauty towards resolution.

He is also the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Battle Enterprises, LLC and its subsidiary The Aerospace Professor Company.

His autobiography and experiences from childhood to maturity, detail an incredible number of adverse circumstances and perceived setbacks while uncovering unlikely success stories despite the gravity of the events individually. 
    Witness the emotional, dynamic, and riveting journey throughout the development of his flagship aerospace advocacy business with philanthropic values. His direct and indirect associations served as sources of strength. Read more about The Aerospace Professor and Taraji P. Henson, Tuskegee Airman General Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, Golden Frinks, The U.S. Air Force, The Haliwa-Saponi Tribe, Brooke Simpson (The Voice), Representative John D. Hall, William Earl “Bootsy” Collins, Oprah Winfrey, John Mellencamp, and Charlie Wilson. Remember to always “Look Above.” 
    The mantra of The Aerospace Professor’s brand is “Look Above” which means that each day, we should continuously strive to perform at least a level higher than we originally intended. Be excited about every day in your life! Seek strength in all that motivates you and work towards not only doing your best, but doing your very best! Challenge yourself by questioning what “Look Above” means for you each day. Be flexible and adapt, seeking to eliminate failure as an option, and remember to always "Look Above".

    This book was written over a period of ten years. These poems are inspirational, they leave the reader with points to ponder. The book is inspired by real life experiences and stories from those around me. The book covers a wide range of topics from family dynamics, love, oppression, xenophobia, discrimination. It touches on issues, that people are not comfortable sharing. The book cover was painted by a great friend, whom I consider a sister, a Kenyan painter and art entrepreneur Wanjiru Kibera. We met in France 10 years ago. So I hope this book will be a full artistic encounter, that will enrich and touch  your soul. I hope it will cause reflective thinking.  
    As, for me the author, I have a Bachelor's degree in French Theatre and Cinema, both practical and theoretical (Arts du Spectacle/Performing Arts) from the prestigious French University : Université de Grenoble Alpes.

    Heavy Is the Head

    "Where does all the grief go when it's not tugging at your wrist?" Enyegue's debut collection is an ode to girlhood, to Blackness, to generational trauma, sexual assault, and mental health. 
     
    This collection does not aim to heal anyone who reads it, but instead help them confront their own healing. Rather than sugar-coated bullets that enter you lightly, these poems are designed to hurt.  
     
    They are for the girls with difficult names, the boys with softness at their core, and the people with neither. They are meant for the people who are Black, and the people who are not—because we are all tethered together by the heaviness of the human experience.
