Synopsis

In "Brownies and Bogles," Louise Imogen Guiney delves into the enchanting world of folklore and mythology with a collection of poetic narratives that blend whimsy and poignancy. Guiney's literary style is marked by rich imagery and lyrical craftsmanship, seamlessly intertwining the narrative with themes of innocence, nature, and the supernatural. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Victorian Britain, a time when folklore was experiencing a revival, the work showcases Guiney'Äôs keen sense of the ethereal and the earthly, highlighting the interplay between the human experience and fantastical elements, such as the titular brownies and bogles that evoke both charm and menace. Louise Imogen Guiney, an accomplished poet and essayist, was deeply influenced by her Irish heritage and a lifelong fascination with the supernatural and mystic elements of Celtic culture. Her extensive travels and engagement with various literary circles in England and America further shaped her narrative voice. A strong advocate for literature that connects with the past, Guiney's passion for folklore informs her writing, making "Brownies and Bogles" a significant contribution to the genre. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate the delicate interplay between folklore and poetic expression. Guiney'Äôs work not only entertains but also invites reflection on the complexities of human emotion and the enchantment of our imaginations. Perfect for fans of mythic storytelling and poetic form, this book offers a timeless exploration of the whimsical barriers between reality and fantasy.

    The wedding.  The legal and public union of two people. 
     
    A very simple concept and one we all, at one time or another, have thought about. 
     
    In life that’s the easy part.   
     
    The difficult part is the ceremony, not for the dewy-eyed couple, family and friends but for those who are now called to stand and offer words of tribute, of jest and of satisfaction with the couple, on their past lives and future happiness.   
     
    Even the most socially hardened are certain nerves will fray and know the importance of confidence and delivery at this unique moment.  Expectations are high and a badly punch-lined joke or story has the glaring eyes of the room upon you.  
     
    In this volume our classic and well-loved poets take the work out of words and offer up lines and verse of unrivalled beauty, telling knowledge and the comfort of love.  Elizabeth Barrett Browning, W B Yeats, Rainer Maria Rilke, Khalil Gibran are but a handful of the poets who will speak for you and on behalf of us all.

    In The Rose, award-winning poet Ariana Reines navigates the intersection of power and surrender. Drawing on the history of "romance" as the troubadours knew it and the titular flower's ancient allegories for sexuality and mystery, Reines plunges into feminine archetypes to explore masculine pain: "I have always liked helpless / & terrible men because they break my mind." In these poems, inherited ideologies of gender performance are replaced with bold vulnerability: paradoxes of power and surrender transmute the speaker's understanding of suffering, desire, and the soul. 
     
     
     
    The voice in The Rose is wry and bare, approaching the connection between erotic love and spirituality with humor. Investigating war, maternity, violent sensuality, and the role of language in magical acts, Reines is unafraid to uncover the "secret / & terrible shovelings / Of love," and the result is a bloody and pulsing, sexy and unabashed bloom.
