Sinopse

"The Best of Byron" distills the essence of Lord Byron's poetic genius, presenting a curated selection of his most acclaimed works. This anthology showcases Byron's mastery of lyrical expression and his innovative use of the Romantic style, characterized by its emphasis on individualism, emotional depth, and nature. From the tumultuous verses of "Don Juan" to the haunting beauty of "She Walks in Beauty," readers are immersed in the profound themes of love, mortality, and existential reflection that underpin Byron's oeuvre. The collection not only reflects the poet's personal experiences but also serves as a mirror to the socio-political upheaval of early 19th-century Europe, marking Byron as both a literary icon and a cultural commentator.

Known for his charisma and rebellious spirit, Byron revolutionized the literary landscape, challenging social norms and embracing themes of heroic defiance and sensuality. His tumultuous life experiences undoubtedly shaped the passionate authenticity of his work, allowing him to resonate deeply with readers across generations. Highly recommended for both seasoned literary enthusiasts and new readers alike, "The Best of Byron" offers a stunning introduction to one of English literature'Äôs most celebrated poets. This anthology not only highlights Byron'Äôs artistic triumphs but also invites reflection on the universal themes that continue to speak to the human condition today. Engage with Byron's works and explore the intricate interplay of emotion, nature, and societal critique that solidifies his legacy as a titan of Romantic poetry.

    In [SQUELCH PROCEDURES], MLA Chernoff contemplates the ways that trauma, poverty, and strict gender norms rupture the concept of childhood. The tension of multiple meanings in the word “squelch” acts as a guide to Chernoff’s unique voice, which uses language to swaddle intrusive thoughts and mimic defense mechanisms such as avoidance, depersonalization, and derealization. [SQUELCH PROCEDURES] is an ambitious attempt to show how healing and regression are often indistinguishable, while the past is always predisposed to happen more than once: first as tragedy, then as farce.

    Meticulously documented and researched, based on facts LEGACY OF TERROR – AUSCHWITZ SEX SLAVE tells the story of 33-year-old beauty Eliza who goes from con artist on the French Riviera to soul-searching survivor in the bowels of the Nazi-created hell on earth, Auschwitz. This is a saga never before told in literature or feature films. 
    Eliza’s Auschwitz journal becomes a must read for a German woman – Anna, who’s on a mission for her son Wolfgang shortly after 1967’s 6-Day War in Israel. Anna hopes to clear him of accusations of being a war criminal while performing his duty as an SS officer during WWII. 
    Containing elements of a thriller, a petrifying war saga and an unconventional romance, this heart-searing novel evolves into a tapestry of brokenheartedness, self-reproach, and perhaps resilience and stalwart acceptance. What must these women do to keep their humanity intact? Its intended audience is any historical fiction lover who wishes to delve deep into the psyches of those who are able to survive this unimaginable hell at all costs.

    'these basements that taught me to breathe;my body happening in the space between moonlight &the leather straps wrapped round an old dyke's wristgender split open like a crass piñata on the sticky floor'
    Ciara Maguire's poems explore the bright fields and dark corners of love. They are heartbreaking, sexy and addictive.
    'Impossible Heat is a work of claustrophobia, heat, and longing. Sexual ideation extends from the mind of the speaker to colour and consume everything. Long lines and rich cadences hold the reader in a vice, just as the speaker is offered no reprieve from her own intensity of feeling. Amidst the erotic, there is a profound hopelessness that doesn't stop the poems being witty and manic, as the speaker struggles with privacy and performance, with a
    fear of perception but a desperate need to be perceived. The emotional incisiveness of this work is stark, its euphony sumptuous.' Susannah Dickey
    'A nest-making of threads and mirrors, sapphic rorschachs revealing everything and nothing that might be told in the salt content of sweat and the tonguing indent of lyric. These generous poems drift through the gap someone left in your bedroom window. Here are dreams, tragedies of homosexuality, domestic horror shows, a cascade of utopian performatives, moonlight, a summer that may or may not ever end. What innocence is lost or won in love is felt in the sensory plenitude of our speaker's imagination. Maguire is a master of anaphora, list and simile. Impossible Heat surrenders to its own melting, poems yielding
    magical hyperobjects which metabolise into tender adhesives, binding us irresistibly to this book. This is a work of devotion, connection, eclipse, desire and discovery. Its charm is quietly devastating.' Maria Sledmere

    …Today I discovered/what a group of butterflies is called./ Their name is Kaleidoscope,/” 
    begins the final nine-line stanza of Cat Russell’s “Kaleidoscope,” a poem sharing her book’s title. Its final three lines read, “…the everchanging pattern/ a perfect fusion of shifting compliments:/ the envy of artists, flowers, and clear-blue skies./” Russell’s delightfully accessible homage to butterflies is an ideal invitation into her poignant collection of 86 poems. They entice readers to savor every sip of them in a single sitting. 
    There is something for every palate: from the humor in “Cheapskate Midlife Crisis” and “F-Bombs,” to the understated predatory horror in “Servings,” to the anticipatory excitement of a thunderstorm in “Foretaste.” 
    Kaleidoscope showcases a writer whose talent is boundless! Cat Russell’s poetry is both beguiling and intellectually intoxicating. You’ll undoubtedly mark her collection a favorite. 
    -Sandra Feen, 
    State of Ohio Beat Poet Laureate (2022-2024)

    Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
     
    Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
     
    In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. 
     
    The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. 
     
    Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art.  Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.   
     
    The great state of Ohio, also known as the “Buckeye State” is a bell-weather state in most elections, famed for its history, manufacturing prowess and its contribution to the union in the arts and culture.  Times in the rust belt have undeniably turned harder buts its poetic history continues to illuminate with verse from such mighty pens as Paul Laurence Dunbar, Ambrose Bierce, Hart Crane and Alice Cary.  Genius in every name.
