Summary

In "The Essential Works of Lord Byron," readers are presented with a meticulously curated selection of Byron's most significant poetry and prose that encapsulate the spirit of the Romantic era. This anthology highlights his themes of love, nature, and the human condition, showcasing Byron's innovative use of verse, including his characteristic use of the Byronic hero—a complex figure often marked by rebellion and introspection. The inclusion of powerful narratives and lyrical poetry reflects Byron's mastery of language, enabling him to convey profound emotional depth while engaging with contemporary societal issues, from politics to personal identity. Born George Gordon Byron in 1788, Lord Byron was not only a pivotal figure in English literature but also a product of his tumultuous times. His experiences, such as his aristocratic upbringing, personal tragedies, and political aspirations, greatly informed his works. Byron's life, filled with scandal and adventure, echoes in the themes of many of his writings, as he wrestled with his own identity and the complexities of the human experience in a rapidly changing world. This collection is an invaluable resource for both newcomers to Byron's work and seasoned readers. It invites exploration of his lyrical genius while offering insights into his life and the societal backdrop of his creations. Readers will find themselves captivated by Byron's captivating voice and profound exploration of existential themes, making this anthology a must-read in the canon of English literature.

    From acclaimed poet Franny Choi comes a poetry collection for the ends of worlds—past, present, and future. Choi’s third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival. 
    Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples. 
    With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi's signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.

    David is gay, disabled and profoundly horny. He can't eat, drink or shower by himself – or wank. Totally inexperienced, he embarks on a sexual and romantic odyssey, armed with a fierce brain, and dick pics that he has to get someone to take.
    Can he keep it casual whilst also relying on round-the-clock care? And will he manage the thrill and uncertainty of random hook-ups after a lifetime of knockbacks?
    Animal is a hilarious, challenging and heartbreaking play by Jon Bradfield, from a story by Bradfield and Josh Hepple. It won the inaugural Through the Mill Playwriting Prize, was shortlisted for the Papatango Prize, and was first performed at the Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester, and Park Theatre, London, in 2023.

    Poems Of Peace

    Wordsworth held that every true poet was a teacher; and he said, “I wish either to be considered as a teacher, or as nothing.” The poems in this volume are designed to teach; and as instruction is best administered by methods which please while they elevate, the immediate object of these poems is to comfort, to bless, and to make happy; and, being framed on the principles of Truth, I doubt not that they will inspire men to embrace loftier ideals of life, draw them to a closer acquaintance with virtue, and lead them to a more intimate union with that perfect Wisdom whose ways are “ways of pleasantness,” and whose paths are “paths of peace.” 
    - James Allen 
    In this unusual departure from his usual practical and direct style, Allen here writes a series of thoughtful, reflective and inspirational poems laying out his unique thoughts in a new style.  
    Spiritual, secular, and deeply embedded in the genuine practice of faith, the book begins with Eolaus, an extended work following a man struggling through the depths of his spiritual sorrow, comforted and assailed by the vocies of earth and nature.  
    ------------------------------------- 
    James Allen wrote nineteen self-help books combining Buddhism, Confucianism, and classical Christianity between 1903 and 1912. Born to improvrished parents, one of whom was murdered when searching for work in America when Allen was fifteen, he went on to combine the esoteric and philosophical slant of eastern religions with the solid practicality and common-sense approach of a Victorian Englishman from Leicester.
