  Finding one’s self is not a product of age or time. But, learning to love and accept ourselves can be. Every day we learn that we cannot deceive our self until we must face our truth. You need no mirror nor any outside help. You will only have you. 
  This poetry is written in various styles and on different subjects. It is inspired writing on spirituality, religion, history, romance, and social commentary.  
  "Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father, and the younger men as brethen". Timothy 5:1 (KJV) 
  After the Love is the ultimate reflection, once age and experience have become memories. Hope is now not what we await, but what we finally can give.

  Everyone knows something of Shakespeare’s sonnets, even if only in memorable fragments like ‘the darling buds of may’ or ‘remembrance of things past’ ‘the marriage of minds’. For centuries these wonderfully-crafted, intense lyrics have stood for something valued about youth, love and the emotional complexities belonging to that time of life. This new recording presents all 154 of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, using the New Cambridge Shakespeare texts.

  On the Waterfront: The Play

  Budd Schulberg’s Academy Award–winning screenplay, updated as a stage drama for modern audiencesFirst performed in 1988 and again on Broadway in 1995, Budd Schulberg and Stan Silverman’s stage version of On the Waterfront may represent the purest incarnation of his classic story. Produced forty years after the movie swept the Academy Awards, the subtly modernized stage play was a call to arms for a new generation. With this rendition, Schulberg and Silverman hoped to reach young people who seemed detached from the dehumanizing effects of poverty and the exploitation of society’s most vulnerable. Set in the 1950s and featuring original protagonists Terry Malloy and Father Pete Barry, On the Waterfront continues to stand as a masterful and uniquely American tragedy. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

  Loss, love and various severed body parts are scattered throughout Dragonish. The poems are rooted in family, friends and home while also reaching into other worlds: the circus of possibilities, an earth-bound heavenly host, London's dryads and a nineteenth-century French brothel. Infused with a warm humour, tinged with darkness, the poems tempt the reader to peep beneath the surface of things.

  The Poetry Of Charlotte Smith

  Charlotte Turner Smith was born on 4th May 1749 in London.  Her early years were dominated by her mother’s early death and her father’s reckless spending.  At age 15 she married Benjamin Smith in order to rid her father of his gambling debts.  Charlotte was later to write that she now became a "legal prostitute".   Benjamin was violent, unfaithful, more reckless with monies than her father and completely unsupportive with her writing that she had begun to spend more time on.  In 1766, Charlotte and Benjamin had the first of their twelve children. She helped with her father in law’s business and upon his death he left much to Charlotte and her children but this inheritance was tied up in legal wranglings that lasted for 40 years and became the inspiration for Dickens' central case in Bleak House.Her husband's spending landed him in prison and as was allowed at the time, Charlotte moved in to join him.  It was here in 1784, that she wrote and published her first work, Elegiac Sonnets.  It was an instant success, allowing Charlotte to pay for their release from prison and contributing to a revival of the sonnet.  Charlotte moved to Chichester where she began to write novels believing she could earn more from their sale and rather unusually publishing all her work under her own name.Her first novel, Emmeline in 1788, was a success and in the next decade she wrote nine more.  However, despite their initial success, her finances were a constant source of concern and she was often in debt being forced to move home frequently and impacting on declining health.  By 1803, Smith was again poverty-stricken with severe gout which made writing painful and later almost paralysed her. On 23 February 1806, Charlotte finally received some of the inheritance, but was too ill to do anything with it and died on October 28th 1806.  William Wordsworth described her as a poet "to whom English verse is under greater obligations than are likely to be either acknowledged or remembered".
