Summary

In "The Best of Byron," the renowned Romantic poet Lord Byron compiles a selection of his most celebrated works, showcasing his mastery of verse and his innovative embrace of the lyrical form. With his characteristic blend of passionate emotion and sharp wit, Byron's poetry navigates themes such as love, loss, nature, and the complexities of the human experience. Rich in imagery and structured with a blend of classic forms and inventive meter, this anthology illustrates Byron's pivotal role in the evolution of 19th-century literature, standing as a testament to his influence on subsequent generations of poets and writers. Lord Byron, born George Gordon Byron in 1788, was not only a poet but a leading figure of the Romantic movement. His tumultuous life, marked by personal struggles, societal rebellion, and a voracious appetite for adventure, informed much of his writing. Byron's exposure to the cultural upheaval of his time, combined with his own experiences of heartbreak and disillusionment, fueled his poetic voice and emotional depth, allowing him to connect profoundly with readers both then and now. "The Best of Byron" is an essential collection for lovers of poetry and those interested in the Romantic era. Through Byron's eloquent and often provocative verses, readers are invited to experience the unparalleled beauty and depth of emotion that has secured his place as one of literature's most enduring voices. This anthology serves not only as an introduction to Byron's work but also as a celebration of a poet who continues to resonate with the complexities of human emotion.

    Improvised Explosive Device

    Improvised Explosive Device is a startlingly innovative exploration of extremism, hate crime and violence by poet Arji Manuelpillai. In this powerful and unsettling first collection, Manuelpillai presents a vision of the contemporary haunted by Melville's image of the whale – the terror beneath the surface of the sea. His uncompromising focus on violence is laced with gallows humour and the surreal, framed against the mundane detritus of modern life: two boys playing Mortal Kombat; a field of old trainers; the lonely glare of laptop light; a suspicious looking package in the back seat of a van.
    The poems in Improvised Explosive Device emerged through research and interviews with academics, sociologists, and former members of extremist groups and their families – from the English Defence League and the National Front to ISIS and the Tamil Tigers. These complex, unnerving texts ask a series of important questions. What drives a person to commit a radical act of violence? How is that violence mediated through screens and social media? And how does the British government police marginalised groups? Improvised Explosive Device is a brave, surprising and risk-taking book; it will change the way you look at the world.
    "Refusing glib analysis and easy answers, Improvised Explosive Device is a work of radical empathy, fuelled by honesty and compassion, both for those stirred to violence against minorities, and those who suffer from it." Rishi Dastidar
    "The project of Arji Manuelpillai's Improvised Explosive Device leans into the mighty disciplines of poetry, sociology, and reportage to formulate an arresting debut which contests the ways we're conditioned to internalise notions of terrorism, nationalism and belonging...a bold and startling new work." Anthony Anaxagorou
