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.

    There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

    Hope within syllables was and always will be my "soul child". 
When I wrote my 1st ever Haiku, I knew that I would be counting syllables until my last breath. 
This book is a little sad but incredibly hopeful.

    In Saturn Peach, Lily Wang establishes a distinctive voice that is part heartbreak and part wise witness chronicling the strangeness of a technologized world. When asked to describe her book, Wang answered in her quintessential way, “There are things I never want to know but always know. Every day I live with them. Every day I live. I am like a young fruit. Like a peach, common, not the popular kind but oblate, saturn. I live and inside me this pale fruit, yellow and white. I take bites out of myself and share them with you. Maybe you taste like me. Maybe you hold this fruit and become a tree.” If ever there were a book that disarmingly – and seemingly effortlessly – encouraged its reader to become a metaphor, then Saturn Peach is it.
