Sinopse

In a poignant and captivating collection of sixty-three poems, Mark Powell pays homage to A. E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad, transposing it to his native Essex. Exploring similar themes that define Housman's seminal work - such as memory, myth, longing and mortality -- Powell presents his own insight into unrequited love, the dreamlike nature of youth, the implacability of nostalgia and the agony of loss.

    "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."
    
    Follow the life of David Copperfield from his idyllic childhood in Blunderstone to the harsh realities of a London bottling factory and his eventual rise as a successful author. Dickens weaves a sprawling narrative of hardship and triumph, populated by a cast of characters so vivid they have become archetypes of the English language.
    
    A Tapestry of Human Experience: Experience the warmth of the Peggotty family living in their upturned boat-house on the Yarmouth sands, and endure the chilling cruelty of the stepfather, Mr. Murdstone. Witness the eternal optimism of the debt-ridden Mr. Micawber—always waiting for "something to turn up"—and the "umblemished" villainy of the "umble" Uriah Heep.
    
    The Personal Masterpiece: David Copperfield is Dickens at the height of his powers, blending humor, pathos, and social critique. It explores the complexities of marriage, the cruelty of child labor, and the importance of perseverance. More than a story of one man, it is a grand observation of the Victorian era, filled with the "discipline of the heart" that transforms a boy into a man of character.

    Dr. Liz’ Pocket Book of Poems is subtitled a companion to Dr. Liz’ Life Launch series, which includes her Amazon #1, multi-international, best-selling memoir: Life Launch! Surviving the Storms of Physical and Sexual Abuse, Book One, and soon to be published Life Launch! Book 2: A New Dawn of Healing and Recovery. 
    In Dr. Liz’ Pocketbook of Poems, Book 3, she shares with her reader her entire body of poetry that she has written since she was 12 years old. The majority of these works were written as an outlet to self-soothe during her own teen and young adult years that Dr. Liz recounted in her best-selling memoir: living in abusive environments; navigating the tragic, accidental death of her older, only brother and other family and friends’ suicides; and her own struggles with drug and alcohol abuse. Indeed, in this book she shares through rhyme and prose her struggle to make sense of these traumatic experiences, and further, how they fuel her desire to help others (YOU) find hope, healing and a renewed passion for your lives and know that you are not alone in your journey. 
    This is Book Three of a 3-book series. Life Launch! Book Two (coming soon) will reveal the struggles Dr. Liz overcame during the 2nd half of her life: the suicide of her husband, the death of her father, abusive relationships, and being engaged at one time to a man who later became the Butcher of Brooklyn. 
    15% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITIES THAT SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH (through the author’s own BJD Memorial Rainbow of Hope Charitable Foundation for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention that she established in memory of her husband, as well as too many friends and family members, who died by suicide or other tragic means).

    A bold, mesmerizing debut collection exploring womanhood, the body, mental illness, and what it means to move between cultures  
    Renowned for her storytelling and spoken-word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka is also an exultant, fierce, and visceral poet whose work leaves a lasting impact. 
    Touching on themes from perceptions of beauty to the betrayals of the body, from what it means to give consent to how we grapple with demons internal and external, Woman, Eat Me Whole is an entirely fresh and powerful look at womanhood and personhood in a shifting world. Moving between Ghana and the United States, Diaka probes those countries’ ever-changing cultural expectations and norms while investigating the dislocation and fragmentation of a body—and a mind—so often restless or ill at ease. 
    Vivid and bodily while also deeply cerebral, Woman, Eat Me Whole is a searing debut collection from a poet with an inimitable voice and vision.
