  A collection of observations about the male of the species from one of the 20th century's most celebrated and renowned humorists, "Men I'm Not Married To" is a series of descriptions of nine men, all of whom Parker managed to avoid accompanying down the aisle.  Some longer, some very short, each of these descriptions shows Parker's full range of wit, sardonic humor and wry cynicism.  Dorothy Parker - social commentator, political reformer and legendary wit - has enjoyed a special place in American culture for almost a century and "Men I'm Not Married To" is an early example of Parker's unique and wry observations of the struggle between the sexes. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

  Comic Book Artist and Pop Culture Geek, Dean Rankine doesn't know anything about writing poetry. But a little thing like that isn't going to stop him from writing a poem once a week for a year, putting those poems into a book and sending them out into the universe. 
  "Dean's poetry is like watching someone dragged upside down by a bolting robot horse through a cacti patch. It's exhilarating, you chortle, but then you're flooded with existential dread that we're all gonna die in stupid ways." - Ryan K. Lindsay (Beautiful Canvas, Deer Editor) 
  Narrated by Ben Sorensen 
  Recorded at the studios of BSE Australia for Shooting Star Press.

  Christchurch lies on the edge of the Canterbury Plains bounded by the Cashmere Hills the home of Kahukura - Red Cloak of the Sky - to the east and the Southern Alps to the west. Even in the heart of winter, hot winds come and Kahukura rises from the Cashmere Hills and fans out, red hued across the sky, forming the Nor'West Arc. This collection of poetry tells the tale of growing up, living and dreaming here in this place - where twilight burns the sky. 
  "This is New Zealand poetry at its finest. The imagery is strong and violent yet suprisingly beautiful. These poems sound good. They strike a raw nerve." Naomi Edwards, Canta 
  "Kathleen weaves together te ao mauri and her experiences  of te ao wairua - giving resonance to the multiple feathers worn by manu kaitiaki kōtuku. Whether you wade in the foreshore or seek the heights of fligth Kathleen's poetic kōtrto will find you whispering āe tika - I understand." Te Awhina Arahanga

  The Poetry of GK Chesterton - A...

  Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden Hill, Kensington on May 29th 1874. 
  Originally after attending St Pauls School he went to Slade to learn the art of illustration.  In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic before going on to writing weekly columns in the Daily News and the Illustrated London News. 
  In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life. 
  For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories which were much influenced by his own beliefs.  A large man – 6’ 4” and 21st in weight he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are – a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place but where should he actually be…….? 
  He was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, short stories, essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems.  It is on his poems that we concentrate this volume.  They range from the virtues and vices of England and the English to his world view and religious beliefs. 
  GK Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June, 1936 and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London. 
  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.
