  Playwright Maurice is on the very verge of having success and notoriety upon the opening of his new play. In fact, he's so elated at his future prospects that he's decided to propose to his mistress, Jeanne  once the evening is over. However, he comes into contact with a femme fatale named Henriette, who so beguiles him with danger and mystery that he doesn't attend his own show and instead spends the entire night with her, forgetting all about his mistress and child. Word spreads throughout France the following morning, and the public utterly shames the impromptu couple for spending the night together, causing the theater to pull Maurice's play, Jeanne to leave Maurice, and Henriette to scheme upon the molding of this now contemptible beast for her own means.... 
   Come see the consequences of actions and the impact of societal expectations in this strange yet unwavering comedy known as "Crime and Crime."

  Here are eight fundamental works by one of the few greatest English poets: three lyric pieces, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, Songs of Experience; the prose satire An Island in the Moon, the mystical prose poem The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, and three visionary poems: The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, a Prophecy.  William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great relevant figures of his time, who like Beethoven in music  bridges the classical and romantic, remaining himself uncategorizable.

  ‘Tarawih’ (Arabic) comes from the root word that means to take a rest, and take rest I did.Notes After Terawih is a series of word sketches I drew based on my distracted observation during night prayers, or terawih prayers, done in a single mosque during Ramadhan. Thousands of us here in Singapore engage in terawih for thirty nights in a row – that’s a huge multitude of experiences. Yet, all these experiences are tucked within the walls of the mosque and ultimately remain in Ramadhan... As a new kid in this terawih thing, I decided to take some notes. None of these were written on the spot. Instead, they were recalled and typed on my phone as I headed home for the night.

  The Things I Meant to Say

  Barrett began writing love poems in his early 20's. He is a distant relative of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and when introduced to her work became immediately inspired. This book is comprised of poems Barrett has written over the past 40 years. They are both love poems and inspirational poems which he hopes will be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Many of the love poems were dedicated to his first real love, Lynn, and others written to his late wife, Patricia to whom he was married for 37 years. Some of the poetry is lyrical and some prose. His hope is that you will be touched by the words, perhaps warming your heart and those around you, whether remembering past or current loves, friends and family. This book is meant to awaken your passion for life and the emotions that you have deep inside, and even perhaps "the things you meant to say."
