  THE FEATHERED EDGE Inner fence was beyond mending every animal in the barnyard went a different way. Completely connected but mostly confused he put the cutters in reverse; his soul a restless farmer condemned to farming, farmed no more. Weatherman's poetry is about a poet finding himself. It moves from a romanticization of a past life in Montana, trips to Alaska, and finally to Canada, where he would start a family. His poetry moves toward a mystical detachment from a troubled society and marriage, where his poetry becomes a personal refuge. Finally, he realizes the power of authenticity in our own voice, that we have always had each other, and that the only power we lose is the power we give away.

  'As long as you only have one sort of person telling the stories, well then our world will just end up looking very like that one sort of person. It makes sense, doesn't it?'
  1841. Mary Ann Evans is of marriageable age. Her father has recently moved with her to Bird Grove House, with the sole purpose of finding her a suitable husband. But Mary Ann's remarkable intellect and growing self-confidence are forming progressive new ideas in her mind; ideas that challenge her father's most strongly held beliefs.
  If she is to become the writer she has always dreamt of being, Mary Ann will have to break every societal convention expected of her.
  A funny and poignant exploration of family ties and self-determination, Alexi Kaye Campbell's play Bird Grove tells the untold story of the woman who was to become one of England's greatest writers: George Eliot. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Anna Ledwich.

  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.

  Don Quixote of La Mancha

  Don Quixote of La Mancha tells the story of Alonso Quixano, a middle-aged man from Spain who becomes so obsessed with tales of chivalry that he loses his sanity and decides to become a knight-errant. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he sets out on a quest to revive honor, defend the helpless, and live according to the ideals of heroic knights. 
  Accompanied by his loyal but practical squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote embarks on a series of misadventures where imagination and reality constantly clash. He famously mistakes windmills for giants, inns for castles, and ordinary people for characters in grand epics. While his actions often lead to comedic and sometimes tragic consequences, his unwavering belief in his mission gives the story a deeper emotional resonance. 
  Through humor, satire, and rich storytelling, Cervantes explores themes of illusion versus reality, the power of dreams, and the complexity of human nature. Don Quixote is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of literature ever written and a cornerstone of modern fiction.

  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.
