Sinossi

In "The Triumph of Music, and Other Lyrics," Madison Julius Cawein delivers a rich tapestry of lyrical poetry that celebrates the emotional and transcendent power of music. The collection reflects a profound engagement with natural imagery and the theme of harmony, drawing connections between the human experience and the ethereal realm of sound. Cawein's literary style is characterized by its melodic quality, intricate rhyme schemes, and vivid imagery, resonating with the aesthetics of the turn-of-the-century American Romanticism, a context in which he sought to bridge personal emotion and universal themes. Cawein, often referred to as the "Keats of America," was deeply influenced by the natural landscapes of his native Kentucky, which permeate his work. His experiences with music, both as a passionate admirer and an amateur musician, inspire the poems in this collection. Through these verses, Cawein grapples with the relationship between art and nature, revealing insights into the human soul's longing for beauty and connection. This collection is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the interplay of music and poetry, and it will resonate with lovers of lyric verse. Cawein's masterful ability to capture the essence of sound as a conduit for emotion invites readers to reflect on their own encounters with music and nature.

Saki's Plays

Saki Saki

The undisputed master of the short story, Saki's name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society, and his plays were no exception. In his only full-length play, 'The Watched Pot', Trevor Bavvel, sole heir to a country estate, is in want of a wife, but must operate under the strict attention of his miserly mother Hortensia. 
Although wildly neglected today, Saki's plays met with widespread acclaim in his day, and he was even compared favourably with the great Oscar Wilde. This complete edition of Saki's plays – the first complete edition ever published – demonstrates the great writer's prowess as a playwright, and sparkles with the same wit as the short stories that have enchanted generations of readers.

Gods Of Miami

Antonio Knowles

In the scintillating underworld of Miami, Zeus rules with an iron fist. As the formidable leader of the Family of God (F.O.G.), his ambitions stretch far beyond the city's glittering lights, aiming to monopolize both the United States and the Caribbean.
But Zeus's reign isn't just about power—it's about style, elegance, and high-stakes sophistication.
By his side is Destiny, his girlfriend and lover, whose beauty and cunning are matched only by her loyalty to Zeus. Together, they navigate a world where every move is a calculated risk, and every relationship is a fragile alliance.
Their lives are a mix of high fashion and deadly deals, blending the art of luxury with the ruthlessness of their operations.
Standing as Zeus's unwavering right hand is his best friend, Reel.
His loyalty to Zeus is unshakeable, forged through years of shared victories and narrow escapes.
Zeus is the tactical mastermind, the silent force behind F.O.G.'s most daring exploits.
His strategic brilliance and unflinching resolve make him an indispensable pillar in the F.O.G. empire, always ready to dive into the fray and turn the tide in their favor.
As the F.O.G. expands its influence, threats loom on the horizon. Rivals challenge their authority, and law enforcement inches closer, driven by a relentless desire to dismantle their empire.
The stakes are perilously high, and as love and loyalty are tested, Zeus and Destiny must use every ounce of their wit and charm to stay ahead.
"Gods of Miami" is a dazzling tale of power, seduction, and ambition, set in a city that is as dangerous as it is beautiful.
In this world, the boundaries between elegance and evil blur, and only the most cunning will rise to divine h
eights.

Sophocles

'Vengeance will be taken on the killer, then the land will be clean. The contamination will be washed away. The rains will come and the people will be healed.'
According to the Oracle, if the murderer of old King Laius is found and punished then all will be well. The people turn to their new ruler, Oedipus, the man who solved the riddle of the Sphinx, to hunt down the perpetrator and bring salvation.
He vows to succeed whatever the cost – and so begins an unstoppable pursuit of the truth through a harrowing labyrinth of fear and love.
Intimate and revelatory, Ella Hickson's version of Sophocles' transcendent tragedy premiered at The Old Vic, London, in 2025, produced by The Old Vic in association with Hofesh Shechter Company. It was co-directed by Matthew Warchus and Hofesh Shechter, and starred Rami Malek and Indira Varma.

The Prayer Beads - Poems for the...

Barry Hunt

Prayer is universal. It is common to all cultures and all religions. It is the way we reach out to the Divine. 
I think of prayer as a clay urn we lower hand over hand into the well of our hearts, the well that opens to the unlimited water table of blessings. 
There are different reasons we go the well. There are dark times when we face doubt and loss. There are times when the fire of inspiration lifts our minds and hearts to a new possibility. And there are times when we celebrate the feeling of being at one with all around us. 
The Prayer Beads is divided into three sections: Poems for the Dark Night; Poems for Renewal; and Poems for the Harvest. 
I encourage you to linger on each poem as if it were a prayer bead, to linger on each poem until you feel it in your fingertips.
