  Writing poetry always seems to be something we learn at school, usually beginning with a couplet of child-like rhyme that brings gales of laughter.  Later it may be agonising over a verse or two attempting to rhapsodise on love and then the years roll on with only an occasional desire to return.   
   
  In this volume we put together wordsmiths of the highest caliber as they write on Poets themselves.  Many of the poems provide valuable insights on how other poets are seen by their peers.  Some are deeply personal others are abstract.  Whether they speak at the celebration of a birth or the knowing tragedy of entering a slaughterous battle these poets take us into new uncharted territories revealing their inner selves in raw and tender ways. 
   
  Yeats, Flecker, Benet, Yeats, Dickinson, Coleridge, Millay, Levy, Gurney are but a few of their number who speak with the clarity, the eloquence and the truth that only a poet can know….but all can share.

  Jessica Parks is smart, compassionate, and a true maverick at the peak of her career as a London Crown Court Judge. The system needs to change, and she's challenging it one case at a time.

  A scalding examination of modern masculinity and motherhood, Inter Alia premiered at the National Theatre, London, in 2025, with Rosamund Pike as Jessica.

  Sally, a beautiful young pregnant woman, came to the hospital supposedly for pre-term labor pains but delivered a fully mature, healthy boy. Her face, smiling with relief after the stress of delivery, quickly changed to apprehension.  
  “Doctor, what will you tell my husband and family? Can you please tell them that the baby is premature?” She asked. 
  “How can I?” Dr. Thomas replied helplessly. “The baby is fully grown and mature, as anyone can see.” 
  “You mean to say that there is nothing wrong with the child, Doctor?” Johnykutty, her husband, asked in dismay and anguish. “But we’ve been married for just seven months!” 
  Her husband and his family go away, leaving Sally and the illegitimate child. 
  What will be her future? 
  What fate awaits the unwanted child? 
  This book is an enchanting story of a young doctor couple who ventured into a remote, rural forested village to re-open a defunct hospital, their involvement in the mysteries and conflicts of their patients, the daunting challenges - both nonmedical and medical, the agony of failures, and the ecstasy of triumphs.

  The basic idea of this book is to share life experiences, and thereby give comfort and encourage smiles, by showing my own and others’ reflections on different life-situations. I am sure that many of them are comparable to those that occur in your life, or to others around you. By sharing 
  experiences, we all learn something. Women are probably sharing thoughts more often than men. Many of the events in this book have also been discussed in female groups. They have not all been personally experienced by me but are the consensus from these fruitful discussions.
   Now I am pleased to share them with you. Among the experiences discussed in this book: heartbreak, the #MeToo movement and my own experiences, divorce as its complication as a
   parent, and my own thoughts about the pandemic. I also share with you my thoughts about the aging process that we all must endure, if we are lucky enough to live that long, since life is still a gift given to us all. We ought to remember that and enjoy the journey.
