This anthology is a compelling resource for readers seeking to engage with the rich tapestry of cultural and literary motifs descriptive of the Jacobean period.

    The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë brings together the full body of poetic work by one of the most powerful and enigmatic voices of English literature. Best known for her novel Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë was also a poet of remarkable intensity, whose verses reveal a deeply imaginative, spiritual, and fiercely independent mind.
    
    Written largely in solitude, Brontë's poems explore themes of nature, solitude, freedom, death, faith, and the eternal struggle between the human soul and the forces that bind it. Her language is stark and elemental, often drawing on the wild landscapes of the Yorkshire moors to express inner passion and transcendence. Many of the poems reflect a longing for spiritual liberation and a defiant resistance to confinement—both physical and emotional.
    
    The collection also includes poems connected to the imaginary world of Gondal, a richly invented realm that served as a creative outlet for Brontë's most dramatic and visionary ideas. These works showcase her gift for lyrical intensity, rhythmic power, and emotional depth.
    
    The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë offers readers an intimate encounter with a singular poetic voice—one that is haunting, uncompromising, and timeless. This volume stands as an essential addition to any lover of classic poetry, revealing the profound inner world of a writer whose poetic legacy continues to inspire and captivate generations.

    A love story called My Hell was inspired by my Muse, and many of the poets I have studied. It was originally written to be a narrated stage play. In this Narrative epic Love Story there are hidden messages that only your subconscious will perceive. I wrote this epic story with the intent to show the moral of the story, "Love Conquers All." The story is about a  journey through Hell and many personal confrontations with Satan himself. This is one Journey through Hell you will never forget. Welcome to My Hell.

    Pink Moon is part anthem of decolonization, part oracle of the times. Earthy, magical, and steeped in ancestral connection, Roshan James fuses her lived experience as a Tibetan-Indian born in Scarborough, Ontario, with a tangible connection to nature, humanity, and realms of consciousness. Growing up in the South Asian diaspora, but feeling disconnected from her cultural roots, James makes peace with the tension between her self-identities through poetry.
    		 
    With lyrical ease and simplicity, James resonates off the page, holding the reader in a space, almost trance-like, of quiet confidence. Infused with street-style and deep contemplation, ancient tones and child-like questioning, this collection is a journey through abstract expression. Pink Moon sits at an intersection of timely themes: anti-oppression, melanated lived experience, climate action, social justice, and personal spirituality. The collection will be of interest for discussion in academia, literary circles, and among people who are passionate about art, mindfulness, meditation, holistic health, and nature.

    Knife Sharpener – Selected Poems is a posthumous commemoration and celebration of Sargon Boulus, in a collection of poems, written between 1991 and 2007 that he translated himself, together with an essay, "Poetry and Memory", written a few months before he died in October 2007.
    With a Foreword by Adonis and an Introduction by Dublin poet and publisher Pat Boran, the volume includes nine pages of photographs and tributes from fellow poets and writers Saadi Youssef, Ounsi El-Hage, Amjad Nasser, Abbas Beydhoun, Abdo Wazen, Fadhil al-Azzawi, Kadhim Jihad Hassan, Khalid al-Maaly, and Elias Khoury, assembled and translated by fellow Iraqi poet Sinan Antoon, who described his death as leaving "a gaping wound in the heart of modern Arabic poetry".
    "Sargon seemed to feel also the even greater, historical weight of conflicts, tensions, misunderstandings and oppressions of the spirit, as if his poems came through his own time and language but from somewhere else." – Pat Boran
    Sargon Boulus was unusually influential among young Arab poets, who "found in him the father who refused to practise his patriarchy and a poet who always renewed himself in his rebellion against rhetoric . . ." Abdo Wazen
