Summary

Poetry: that fifth element: essential for human eyes to read, human ears to hear, and human hearts and souls to feel.  Four elements as envisioned by Linda Imbler within poetry’s arc: from the myth of Theros to the reality of tornadoes [Air,] within the depths of despair at the loss of flood victims to the beautiful imaginativeness that can develop while watching clouds [Water,] following the trail from horrible domestic violence to paranormality [Fire,] seeking truth about a present day metaphorical earthquake or the theory of a future apocalyptic world [Earth.]
Available since: 11/15/2019.

    Terence Rattigan's epic and probing drama about the man immortalised as Lawrence of Arabia.
Arrogant, flippant, withdrawn and with a talent for self-concealment, the mysterious Aircraftman Ross seems an odd recruit for the Royal Air Force. In fact the truth is even stranger than the man himself.
Behind the false name is an enigma, a man named Lawrence who started as a civilian in the Map Office in 1914 and went on to mastermind some of the most audacious military victories in the history of the British Army. These victories earned him an enduring and romantic nom de guerre: Lawrence of Arabia.
Rattigan's 1960 play reveals the unusual and deeply conflicted Englishman behind the heroic legend. This edition, with an Introduction by Dan Rebellato, was published alongside the revival at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2016, directed by Adrian Noble and starring Joseph Fiennes as Ross.

    Benjamin "Ben" Jonson was born in June, 1572. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, he is best known for his satirical plays; Volpone, The Alchemist, and Bartholomew Fair, and his equally accomplished lyric poems.  
A man of vast reading and a seemingly insatiable appetite for controversy, including time in jail and a penchant for switching faiths, Jonson had an unparalleled breadth of influence on Jacobean and Caroline playwrights and poets. 
In 1616 Jonson was appointed by King James I to receive a yearly pension of £60 to become what is now recognised as the post of the first official Poet Laureate.    
He died on the 6th of August, 1637 at Westminster and is buried in the north aisle of the nave at Westminster Abbey. 
A master of both playwriting and poetry his reputation continues to endure and reach a new audience with each succeeding generation. 
 This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    pbiPoems that challenge the depths of perception/b/i/p
pDazzle camouflage, at the beginning of the 20th century, was an attempt to answer the question, iHow do we hide those things that are too big to hide?/i Ships, often containing thousands of soldiers, were done up in a confusing array of lines to perplex and distort the viewer’s perspective (in this case, German submarines). “Razzle dazzle” was art attempting to hide life./p
pJamie Sharpe’s iDazzle Ships/i is also concerned with art’s relationship to life. It questions how we build poems from the material of mass culture. And in asking whether authentic modes of expression can be found in an increasingly automated world, Sharpe creates a poetry that is at once as disturbing as it is hilarious and as deeply profound as it is subtle./p
