  I traveled the dirt road with no water in sight. 
  My lips parched and dry from the burning sun. 
  My feet cracked and rough, cut with sharp stones. 
  I had traveled this road many times. 
  I knew the trail, yet somehow this time 
  it seemed unfamiliar; 
  All around was desolation, bareness, and emptiness. 
  I was tired of the heat; I cried out to God 
  "Father please come rescue me." 
  He said, "I am right here." 
  He was just waiting for me to ask for help. 
  He gave me water for my thirst, 
  Food for my hungry soul, and he walked on with me. 
  I trust him more now, 
  I know I will never pass this way again.

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
  In this volume we collect together poets who, by the mere colour of their skin, were treated with such disdain and racism that it is difficult to believe that poetry of such tenderness, beauty and authority could exist.

  Notes from a Shipwreck

  Notes from a Shipwreck, the third collection of poetry by Jessica Mookherjee, is a richly detailed and illuminating voyage of dislocation and longing. By turns evocative, unsettling, and full of 'small acts of magic', Mookherjee simultaneously finds the past, present, and future in the tempestuous, lyrical tides that flow through her poems.
  Here, seafaring lore and shanties interweave with wreckage and survival, drawn by strong currents of history – where migration, colonialism, pandemics and climate change shape the course we are on. The sea is a territory of grief and transformation, alluring and dangerous, where safe harbours and landfall are not always certain. Mookherjee's enchanting, salt-sharp poetry encompasses the many journeys embarked on – whether seeking refuge, escape, or into exile – and consider not only the deep blue sea and its myriad mythologies, but to understand 'what makes a land and person,' – the keen human instinct to seek belonging.

  "All, Everything That I Understand, I Understand Only Because I Love."
  
  Leo Tolstoy stands as a giant of the literary world, a writer whose work is so vast and deeply human that it feels like life itself. Known for his ability to capture the grand movements of history alongside the most intimate flickers of the human heart, Tolstoy's novels are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of society, faith, and the soul. This comprehensive collection spans his entire novelistic career, from his early semi-autobiographical reflections to his massive historical epics and later spiritual awakenings.
  
  The Architect of the Human Soul: Tolstoy's genius lay in his "psychological realism"—the ability to portray characters with such depth and nuance that they transcend the page. His work explores the tension between the individual and the state, the search for meaning in a world of suffering, and the transformative power of love and simplicity. Whether he is documenting the Napoleonic Wars or the tragic constraints of aristocratic marriage, Tolstoy's prose remains a masterclass in observation and empathy.
  
  Tolstoy's influence on the world extends far beyond literature, impacting the thoughts of figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. This volume is the definitive cornerstone for any library of world classics, historical fiction, and philosophical literature.
  
  Experience the full breadth of a master. Buy "The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy" today and journey through the heart of the human experience.
