  What if your dreams were more than fleeting whispers in the night? What if they were windows into parallel lives, each verse a doorway, each rhythm a heartbeat? 
  In Parallel You Volume 2, Claude Phipps invites readers into a universe of poetic possibility where imagination transcends logic and fate bends like light. Spanning over 30 years of lyrical exploration, this collection captures the evolution of a mind unbound, beginning with a poem written at just eighteen years old during the author's time at MIT. 
  This is not a book of rigid truths or fixed meanings. Instead, it is a journey through dreams, emotions, and nonlinear connections, where thoughts flow freely and interpretation is as limitless as the reader's own imagination. Each poem encourages reflection, awakening, and a deeper connection to the unseen layers of life. 
  In an increasingly mechanistic world, Parallel You Volume 2 offers a refreshing return to creativity, curiosity, and the power of perspective. It speaks to young dreamers, seekers of meaning, and anyone willing to explore beyond the boundaries of conventional thought. 
  If you believe attitude shapes reality, and that poetry can shift the way we see the world, this collection will leave you with a renewed sense of wonder, and perhaps, a new way of living.

  Born in England – Exploring...

  Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel...

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
   
  England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
   
  This long limb of England pushes into the Atlantic yet from its ancient past until today its creative contribution is woven in gloried threads into the culture of the whole Nation.

   The heart is always calling us to listen intently as the seasons turn, listen intently through the wheel of the year, listen intently as each month whispers with divine intent. 
  When listening to these poems, I invite you to find a place where you can listen intently, a place where all things stand still and you feel the whispering of each month. 
  Listening intently is the path to forgiveness, empathy and compassion, the path to seeing ourselves in each other. Listen now, listen intently as each month whispers with divine intent.

  Cate McNider's poetry is a remarkable journey through the depths of the human experience. In Escape Velocity, she invites us to explore the uncharted territories of our inner selves and discover what lies beneath the surface. With each poem, she fearlessly confronts her own conditioning and strips away the layers of habit and illusion that obscure our true nature. 
  Her words are a profound meditation on the power of vulnerability and the transformative force of love and understanding. McNider takes us on a journey through the Void, the space within ourselves where we can find the answers to life's most profound questions. 
  Through her daring, honest, and often humorous approach, McNider reminds us that we are all the Source of our own reality. Her poetry is not just a reportage of her own transcendent process, but a call to action for each of us to undertake our own journey of self-discovery. 
  Escape Velocity is not just a collection of poems, but a profound work of art that challenges us to see ourselves and thus the world with new eyes. McNider's courage and insight will leave you potently aware, daring you to take the leap into the unknown and discover the truth that lies within.

  Scattered Love

  'She entered the house like a shadow … She was like a divine elixir: one drop for each of my thoughts. … I could feel the breath of the warrior, the Queen of Ireland, and it intoxicated me with the wind of hope, like noble wine.'
  She is Maud Gonne, the muse of writer William Butler Yeats. Yeats here returns as a ghost, having been buried in southern France in January 1939 at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Ten years later his remains are repatriated to Ireland. He emerges from his grave to recount his thwarted love for Maud, a story blending with the movement for Irish independence in which they each played an integral part.
  Yeats' ghost has suddenly appeared as diplomatic documents have come to light, casting doubt on the contents of the coffin brought back to Sligo for a state funeral. Where did the poet's body go? Does he still hover 'somewhere among the clouds above'? What remains of our loves and our deaths, if not their poetry?
  Maylis Besserie's exciting new work follows on from Yell, Sam, If You Still Can (Le tiers temps). In her second novel, she turns her attention from Samuel Beckett to another Irish writer, W.B. Yeats. The connection between Ireland and France is forged once again in the smithy of art, culture and the days at the end of life.
