  This debut poetry collection comes from a writer born before World War II. Though not deeply affected by the war itself, she grew up during a time of hardship for much of Europe. A lifelong sense of not quite belonging in the many places she lived as a child eventually led her to settle in Suffolk, where she found her first true sense of home.
  
  Her love of poetry was sparked by a schoolteacher and nurtured by her father, who enjoyed playful verse like The Hunting of the Snark.
  
  Today, we are fortunate to live in an age of easy communication and travel, where rural life no longer means isolation. Suffolk, with its thriving poetry scene, has provided her with both inspiration and community.
  
  This collection reflects a life shaped by place, memory, and human connection. Some poems explore landscapes like the King's Forest, while others bring to life people and moments from her past, such as Granny and Rhos-on-Sea. The collection concludes with a medley of light-hearted poems, crafted to bring a smile to the reader's face.

  The Conscious Lovers

  The Conscious Lovers by Richard Steele is a refined eighteenth-century sentimental comedy that explores themes of virtue, moral integrity, love, and social responsibility. First performed in 1722, the play represents a shift in English theatre toward more emotional and ethically driven storytelling, emphasizing sincerity and moral awareness over satire and cynicism.
  
  The story follows a young woman of noble character who finds herself at the center of romantic and familial expectations. Her path toward love is shaped not by manipulation or deception, but by honesty, compassion, and moral clarity. As the narrative unfolds, she must navigate misunderstandings, social pressures, and competing suitors, all while remaining true to her principles.
  
  At the same time, a young gentleman grapples with questions of identity, responsibility, and emotional restraint as he seeks to prove himself worthy of genuine affection. His journey reflects the broader moral framework of the play, in which personal growth and ethical behavior are central to achieving happiness and fulfillment.
  
  Steele's writing is marked by elegance, emotional depth, and a strong didactic tone. The play contrasts moral virtue with superficial charm, encouraging audiences to value sincerity and goodness over appearances and social ambition. Through its carefully constructed dialogue and sympathetic characters, it presents a vision of love grounded in integrity and mutual respect.
  
  The Conscious Lovers remains an important work in the development of sentimental drama, offering a thoughtful and uplifting exploration of human relationships. Its enduring appeal lies in its emphasis on moral reflection, emotional sincerity, and the ideal of virtuous love within society.

  A lyrical wilderness of power, wealth, leisure and desire, the poems of Country Club freewheel across state lines with panache and flagrant feeling. In this bold debut from Andy McGuire, all passions – even unpleasant ones – stare down the barrel of a world in which freedom is the fifty-first state, and love is the eleventh province.
    
     
  The manatee wades out of the water and roars at the sightseersThat one of them owes him a drink.From the beach below the boardwalk, cock-a-doodle-do!What about a Christmas bowlcut over by the mangrove manatees!Because in Florida there are FloridiansAnd they are born Floridians at large.Every motionCan’t stop its own ocean.The oceans' motions make mistakes.Some of the dying are unspeakableIn their thinness, poorly disguised meat mannequins.The mosquitoes are so bigThey bleed you like a pig.Being eaten alive is an acquired taste.
