Publisher: Ginninderra Press
The latest collection by Mark Willing, a writer who lives in Melbourne, Australia. He has had two poetry books and one chapbook published by Ginninderra Press. He is currently working on a verse novel.
He is a famous author, a man who has penned best sellers. A man with a wife and a safe, sedate life. What drives his inner sorrow, then? What fuels his hidden frustration? Perhaps the answers start with the strange one-worded statements other people keep making at him. Maybe the truth lies in the reason why he is so extraordinarily afraid of answering back to those statements the wrong way. In this modern world, he is beyond the modern man, understanding far more than the average person, able of communicating far more than the best orator, the most talented blogger, or the greatest novelist. Yet all his thoughts are imprisoned within him because of the fear they can cause, that is, until the man meets two strange twin girls. What is the twin girls’ secret? How does the writer find out about it? How will these girls prove to be either his salvation... or his greatest doom? In a world that cannot understand him, does he finally have a chance to be understood? Witness the perils of a life where evolution and linguistics combine, where hopes can be forged and disappointed simply by using a sentence, where nothing may be Better than Syntax, not even a kiss from someone you are supposed to love. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.Show book

Emily Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the quintessential poets of 19th century America. A very private poet with a very quiet and reclusive life, her poetry was published posthumously and immediately found a wide audience. While she echoed the romantic natural themes of her times, her style was much more free and irregular, causing many to criticize her and editors to "correct" her. In the early 20th century, when poetic style had become much looser, new audiences learned to appreciate her work. Here collected are many of her most contemplative, most rebellious, and "dark" works, expressing her frustrations with the behavioral confines of her times, and the confines of being human and unknowing of eternity.

Love. What is love? The question is asked by each of us but the answer remains elusive. Dictionaries summon up many words but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of Love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; its ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another. Love is perhaps best expressed through poetry. As Plato said 2500 years ago “At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet”. Writing a love poem for ones’ partner is seen as the most romantic of gestures. It opens our hearts to another's. Lovers love. Here, in this volume history’s greatest poets convey thoughts, feelings and sentiments of love to you in quick (or bite-size) conversations of verse that can slip into your day and your partner's heart. 01 - Fifteen Minutes of Love - Volume 1 - How Do I Love Thee & Other Poems 02 - How Do I Love Thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 03 - First Love by John Clare 04 - Go Lovely Rose by Edmund Waller 05 - An April Love by Alfred Austin 06 - The Sad Shepherd's Passion of Love by George Peele 07 - To His Coy Love by Michael Drayton 08 - Modern Love I by George Meredith 09 - Unbosoming by Michael Field aka Katherine Bradley & Edith Cooper 10 - Unending Love by Tagore 11 - To The Beloved by Alice Meynell 12 - When You Are Old by W B Yeats 13 - Sweet Evenings Come And Go Love by George EliotShow book
