Sinossi

In "A Day with Samuel Taylor Coleridge," May Byron crafts a vivid and engaging portrait of the eminent Romantic poet through a day in his life, blending biographical elements with imaginative fiction. The narrative is rich with atmospheric detail, revealing Coleridge's profound thoughts, emotional depths, and his complex relationships with contemporaries like Wordsworth and Lamb. Byron's elegant prose mirrors the lyrical qualities of Coleridge's own work, weaving together a tapestry of philosophical musings and poetic inspiration that portrays the essence of the Romantic era, marked by its exploration of nature, imagination, and the human condition. May Byron, an accomplished novelist and biographer, was deeply influenced by the literary currents of her time, particularly the Romantic movement. Her interest in Coleridge is evident not only in her passionate exploration of his life and works but also in her understanding of the intricate interplay between a poet's personal struggles and creative genius. Byron's own experiences in the literary milieu of the early 20th century fuel her empathetic portrayal of one of English literature's most enigmatic figures. For readers drawn to the psychological nuances of literature and the rich tapestry of artistic inspiration, Byron's "A Day with Samuel Taylor Coleridge" offers a compelling glimpse into the poet's world. This book is a must-read for those seeking to understand the mind behind the poetry, making it an essential addition to any Romantic literature collection.

Days and Days - A Story about...

Chris MacDonald

It might seem odd—a punk band introducing poetry into someone's life. But what if this lyrical influence was the reason you became a writer in the first place? 
 
Days and Days weaves together two stories. One is a tale of friendship and self-discovery that occurs during a backpacking adventure through England, Scotland, and Ireland. The other celebrates the highly influential yet underestimated United Kingdom band Leatherface, a group that The Guardian called "the greatest British punk band of the modern era." Without so much as a single hostel booked, Chris MacDonald and his friend Jason cross the Atlantic. They sleep in train stations, endure a haunting on top of a volcano in Edinburgh, are driven out of Belfast by the IRA, and witness the mother of all storms. They also find themselves in the rehearsal space of their teenage punk idols, a building steeped in cultural significance for the Sunderland music scene. 
 
Days and Days is about the silver thread that connects us even after drifting apart. It's a story about forgiveness and reflection, how beauty can be found within callous cladding. Leatherface band members, colleagues, and friends generously share personal insights that guide the listener into the melancholy, darkness, and humor that surround Sunderland's best-kept secret.

Bang Bang Crash

Nic Brown

In the mid-1990s, fresh out of high school, Nic Brown was living his childhood dream as a rock and roll drummer. Signing a major label record deal, playing big shows, hitting the charts, giving interviews in Rolling Stone, appearing on The Tonight Show—what could be better for a young artist? But contrary to expectations, getting a shot at his artistic dream early in life was a destabilizing shock. The more he achieved, the more accolades that came his way, the less sure Brown became about his path. 
 
 
 
Only a few years into a promising musical career, he discovered the crux of his discontent: he was never meant to remain behind the drums. In fact, his true artistic path lay in a radically different direction entirely: he decided to become a writer, embarking on a journey leading him to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop, publish novels and short stories, and teach literature to college students across the country. 
 
 
 
Bang Bang Crash tells the story of Nic Brown's unusual journey to gain new strength, presence of mind, and sense of perspective, enabling him to discover an even greater life of artistic fulfillment.
