The mind is a steady stream of thoughts and images. These poems represent the steady stream of thoughts through my mind.
In England the Victorian Age was about to become the past and a new age of worldwide wars of horror and slaughter would envelop and decimate generations, forever staining mankind. The Century would see the World discover strengths. The Democracies would stand firm against Fascism and later Communism yet still keep its own elite and privileged in power and the rest of us underfoot. The World was more connected than ever before. Culture accelerated its kaleidoscopic and interwoven journey. Transport delivered people by car and train and then aeroplane to far flung corners of the globe. Empires were at their zenith and ready to fragment with new nations, many troubled, rising from their decay. The natural world continued to be plundered and pillaged for its resources by industries who pledged ‘more’ and ‘better’ and would clothe and feed a growing world yet sow the seeds now ready to devastate us in our current times. The globe was as vibrant and violent as troubled and tarnished as it ever was. But new ideas, new political systems, new times changed everything once again. 1 - The Poets of the Early Twentieth Century - Volume 2 - An Introduction 2 - The Lions by Joseph Mary Plunkett 3 - 1841-1891 by Joseph Mary Plunkett 4 - If We Return by F W Harvey 5 - The Soldier Speaks by F W Harvey 6 - The Negro Soldiers by Roscoe C Jamison 7 - Into Battle by Julian Grenfell 8 - Prayer For Those on the Staff by Julian Grenfell 9 - Hymn by Fenton Johnson 10 - Tired by Fenton Johnson 11 - Sonnet I by Fernando Pessoa 12 - If, After I Die by Fernando Pessoa 13 - I Have A Rendezvous with Death by Alan Seeger 14 - All Thats Not Love by Alan Seeger 15 - Maktoob by Alan Seeger 16 - The Unseen Planets by Raymond Chandler 17 - The Poet's Knowledge by Raymond Chandler 18 - I Saw A Man This Morning by Patrick Shaw Stewart 19 - Whispers of Immortality by T S Eliot 20 - The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock by T S Eliot 21 - Preludes by T S Eliot 22 - The Wounded Bird by Katherine Mansfield 23 - Stars by Katharine Mansfield 24 - A Fine Day by Katherine Mansfield 25 - I Taught Myself To Live Simply by Anna Akhmatova 26 - When I Write Poems by Anna Akhmatova 27 - Poetry by Claude McKay 28 - The White House by Claude McKay 29 - The Lynching by Claude McKay 30 - Strange Hells by Ivor Gurney 31 - Crucifix Corner by Ivor Gurney 32 - Serenade by Ivor Gurney 33 - Break of Day in the Trenches by Isaac Rosenberg 34 - Dead Man's Dump by Isaac Rosenberg 35 - August 1914 by Isaac Rosenberg 36 - Journey's End by Zora Neale Hurston 37 - The Dog Tupman by Stella Benson 38 - The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver by Edna St Vincent Millay 39 - My Heart Being Hungry by Edna St Vincent Millay 40 - What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, And Where, And Why by Edna St Vincent Millay 41 - Sonnet XVIII - I, Being Born a Woman by Edna St Vincent Millay 42 - Unity by Cesar Vallejo 43 - Love by Edith Sodergran 44 - On Foot I Had to Cross the Solar System by Edith Sodergran 45 - Insouciance by Richard Aldington 46 - Goodbye by Richard Aldington 47 - Grey Hairs by Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva 48 - Lady with Camelias by Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva 49 - To Mother by Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva 50 - Back To Rest by Lietenant William Noel Hodgson MC 51 - Before Action by Lieutenant William Noel Hodgson MC 52 - Past One O'Clock by Vladimir Mayakovsky 53 - So This Is How I Turned into a Dog by Vladamir Mayakovsky 54 - Verse for a Certain Dog by Dorothy Parker 55 - A Dream Lies Dead by Dorothy Parker<pVer livro
Chaos in paradise is a collection of fifty poems that dive deep into the duality of my mind as a person. Even though a healthy garden exists in my heart, inescapable darkness looms over it. Within this collection, I battle with self-identity, love, depression, a desire to escape from the confines of normal society, loss, and the contradictory nature that is me. I wrote this book to free my mind from every insane thought that lives within me and capture it on paper so that it liberates you from the chaos that may reside in yours. I believe everyone is fighting a mental battle under every smile they wear. There might be days when you want to give in to the darkness inside of you, do it. Drown in those thoughts until you embrace, accept, and come to peace with them because the dawn is on its way. And at the end of every moonlit path is a horizon where paradise exists. It might be closer than you think. Have you looked in the mirror lately?Ver livro
When Okumu's village in Northern Uganda is attacked by a guerrilla rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) led by Joseph Kony, he and his brother find that their lives are changed forever. Far Gone is a profoundly moving play for one actor which tells the story of a young boy's journey from childhood innocence to child soldier, seen through the eyes of those that love him – and those that betray him. Inspired by John Rwothomack's own real-life experience of nearly being kidnapped by the LRA, the play was co-produced by Roots Mbili Theatre and Sheffield Theatres, with support from Theatre Deli, Sheffield. It premiered at the Crucible Studio, Sheffield, in 2022, directed by Mojisola Elufowoju. 'This play is not about me, the kid who was lucky enough to escape. This play is for the hundreds of thousands who did not. For the parents whose children were either lost forever or forever changed. For the young girls who were forced to marry men old enough to be their fathers. For the brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, sons and daughters who lost the innocence of childhood, simply for being born at an unfortunate time in an unfortunate place. For the future generations who will continue to suffer the trauma the LRA has imprinted on them, for many years to come.' John RwothomackVer livro

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. “#1 bestseller on AMAZON (eating disorders)” “A book that will make you cry and leave you with hope and lifted spirits.” Ira M. Sacker, M.D., (author: Regaining Your Self, and co-author: Dying to Be Thin) “The Mirror Lied is a heartfelt account of individuals suffering from eating disorders. This insightful, engaging, and masterful book is a must-read for individuals suffering from eating disorders and their loved ones.” Judy E. Marshel, Ph.D., RD, is a nutrition therapist specializing in eating disorders. The Mirror Lied is based on the true story of Jessica Gordon. Told in Jessica's voice, and based on extensive interviews with her, The Mirror Lied has been called “gripping,” “compelling” and “heart-wrenching” (AMAZON reviews). Before she turned twenty, Jessica was raped by the woman entrusted to protect her and nearly killed by her brother. But those events pale in comparison to the life and death struggles she faced for twenty-five years as she fought for her life against her battles with anorexia and bulimia, laxative abuse, and cutting. Readers are pulled into Jessica’s world of pain and struggle as they witness her effort to overcome this debilitating disorder. They also meet the people fighting to save her life. To quote Jessica: “To those in recovery, stay there. To those who seek help, may you find a good therapist who knows how to help you. To those in denial of their eating disorder problem – heaven help you.” Marc A. Zimmer, Ph.D., is an eating disorders specialist and co-author of the best-selling book, Dying to Be Thin. Dr. Zimmer has lectured extensively and he has published numerous journal articles on eating disorders. N.R. Mitgang is the co-author (Haskins / Mitgang) of Mr. Bojangles (William Morrow) and an acclaimed playwright (New York Times).Ver livro
