THE EVE OF ST AGNES - Enriched edition

John Keats

Sinopse

In 'The Eve of St. Agnes', John Keats explores themes of love, desire, and superstition through the tale of Porphyro and Madeline, who defy their feuding families to be together. Keats uses rich, sensory imagery and vivid descriptions to create a dream-like atmosphere that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. Written in the romantic tradition, the poem showcases Keats' mastery of language and his ability to evoke strong emotions in the reader. 'The Eve of St. Agnes' is a prime example of Romantic poetry at its finest, with its focus on beauty, imagination, and the supernatural. Keats' work is often associated with the second generation of Romantic poets, who rebelled against the strictures of neoclassicism and embraced nature and emotion in their writing. His tragic life, marked by illness and early death, lends a poignant depth to his poetry, making 'The Eve of St. Agnes' a poignant and timeless exploration of love and passion. I highly recommend this work to readers who appreciate the power of language and the beauty of Romantic poetry.

Evie Shockley

Finalist for the 2024 National Book Award for PoetryIn her new poetry collection, Evie Shockley mobilizes visual art, sound, and multilayered language to chart routes towards openings for the collective dreaming of a more capacious "we." How do we navigate between the urgency of our own becoming and the imperative insight that whoever we are, we are in relation to each other? Beginning with the visionary art of Black women like Alison Saar and Alma Thomas, Shockley's poems draw and forge a widening constellation of connections that help make visible the interdependence of everyone and everything on Earth.perchedi am black, comely,a girl on the cusp of desire.my dangling toes take the restthe rest of my body refuses. spine upright,my pose proposes anticipation. i poisein copper-colored tension, intent onmanifesting my soul in the discouraging world.under the rough eyes of others, i stiffen.if i must be hard, it will be as a tree, alivewith change. inside me, a love of beauty riseslike sap, sprouts from my scalpand stretches forth. i send out my song, an ariablue and feathered, and grow toward it,choirs bare, but soon to bud. i amblack and becoming.         —after Alison Saar's Blue Bird

Why I Was Late

Charlie Petch

With kitchen-table candour and empathy, Charlie Petch’s debut collection of poems offers witness to a decades-long trans/personal coming of age, finding heroes in unexpected places.   
Why I Was Late fuses text with performance, bringing a transmasculine wisdom, humour, and experience to bear upon tailgates, spaceships, and wrestling rings. Fierce, tender, convention re-inventing—Petch works hard. And whether it’s as a film union lighting technician, a hospital bed allocator, a Toronto hot dog vendor, or a performer/player of the musical saw, the work is survival. Heroes are found in unexpected places, elevated by both large and small gestures of kindness, accountability and acceptance. No subject—grief, disability, kink, sexuality, gender politics, violence—is off limits.  
A poet so good at drag they had everyone convinced that they were a woman for the first forty years of their life, Petch has somehow brought the stage and its attendant thrills into the book. Better late than. And better.

In the digital world, where life is virtually driven, there is a feeling of void many times. That’s when we reminisce about our golden days from childhood, memories of adulthood, deep emotions, and the journey of transformation.
"My Life in Poems" is a memoir of experiences carefully chosen from the bouquet of soulful moments, instrumental in our evolution, guiding us towards self-realization. The poems also journey through the valley of change, slowly turning us into someone we couldn’t recognize anymore. In these years of ups and downs, while we were living, were we truly living?
This question keeps repeating itself as we transition from one place to another, fulfilling someone else’s happiness. The "me" in me is missing. That is why when we were writing these poems, they offered deep insight into all the phases of our lives and the truth behind those lonely and scary moments. The question lurked: will we ever reach our goal?
Whether you are a teenager, in your mid-career, or spending time with your grandchildren, these poems will create curiosity and an urge to discover the voice of your inner being.
Listen to know more about these soulful revelations from the authors of bestseller romantic, thriller, and adventure fiction novels, and winners of many literary awards.
