  Shunrō Oshikawa (1876-1914) was one the two most important founders of Japanese science fiction (the other being Unno Juza, 1897-1949). This story is a charming tribute to all those engaged in historical research. A young Portuguese child discovers an empty beer bottle on a beach. Her father, a well known scientist, discovers a message inside that may solve one of the greatest mysteries in the West African chronicles.  
  This is a radio version, and not a translation. It has been adapted for historyradio.org by Michael Henrik Wynn, and he also plays the part of the traveler.

  sun memos is the second self-published poetry book by platinum ARIA accredited, Australian singer-songwriter, Ziggy Alberts. Differentiating from his lyrical work, sun memos is an introspective look behind the mind of the musician on the road and at home. Featuring his signature environmental metaphors, sun memos, is split into four parts and allows readers to join him on a journey of personal realisations and is an invitation to enter into a vulnerable relationship between the writer and the reader with each page. 
  sun memos was brought to life amongst the relative chaos of Ziggy Alberts’ extensive touring the world.  As Ziggy said -  
  “it was almost lost in the years between, and I can breathe a sigh of relief now these sun memos are bundled into these pages. Writing poetry has nothing to do with publishing it. Writing poetry is what music has been for me since the very beginning: an outpour. 
  Minimal planning, maximum emotion.  
  Like my first book, brainwaves, this is another thoughtfully independent project made possible by my family & friends at Commonfolk Publishing.  
  Looking forward to connecting with you all for the second time, and again."

  Paradise Lost

  John Milton

  Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by the Puritan English poet John Milton between 1658 and 1663, and published in 1667. This is a period of English history which encompasses the end of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
  Perhaps reflecting some of his country's turmoil during Milton's life, Paradise Lost deals with revolution in Heaven by Satan and his followers against God, their defeat and banishment to Hell, and their subsequent plotting of revenge, leading ultimately to Satan beguiling Eve in Paradise to taste the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge against the explicit command of God. Milton's vivid and poetic description of these events is both dramatic and compelling. The work gained swift acceptance and has always remained a popular and important part of English literature.
  Originally published in ten books, a second edition was published in 1674 arranged into twelve books, the form in which it appears here.

  Pyth in love - A poem in form of...

  In the poems, Pythagoras is always searching for meaning in patterns—in the caws of crows, the flight of geese—but he is also visited by the random.  “But then, without a sign, the crow departs; this randomness of fate gives him a chill./He sees the beauty of wings merged with night …”  Was it a random coincidence that I was at the same time writing a book set on an estate with Italianate gardens?  Inspired by Lee, I created a poet named Zalman Bronsky who wandered through the Italian gardens composing sonnets, which Lee graciously agreed to write.  Immersed in researching the Italian gardens, we traveled to Rome and Sorrento in the summer of 2004.  While walking in the Roman Forum Lee discovered a bust of Pythagoras and was inspired to write “Counting Toward the End,” in which “Pythagoras divides the summer dawn/into the cosmos, multiplies by breeze/and quality of drifting yellow light/to calculate how many roses  thrive/within the boundary of circling sight.”  His calculation conflicts with what he sees and yet his “faith in truth of math endures despite/this failure.”
