Lord Byron - Selected Poems

Lord Byron

The epitome of the Romantic literary hero, Lord Byron was as well-known in his time for the revolutionary panache with which he lived as for his extremely popular verse. “As a myth,” wrote Bertrand Russell, “his importance, especially on the continent, was enormous.” His many tempestuous relationships were the subject of scandal which only added to his celebrity. His name has even entered into our language to describe a man of deep passion and defiance. 
Satirical, shocking, romantic, and dramatic, Byron’s poetry is replete with witticisms, surprise rhymes, and editorial comment. 
Poems in this collection include: 1. From “Don Juan” 2. From “English Bards and Scotch Reviewers” 3. “The Destruction of Sennacherib” 4. “She Walks in Beauty” 5. “Remember Thee! Remember Thee!” 6. “To Thomas Moore” 7. “So, We’ll Go No More a Roving” 8. “Epigrams” 9. “Churchill’s Grave” 10. “Epistle to Augusta” 11. “Lines on Hearing That Lady Byron Was Ill” 12. “Beppo” 13. “The Vision of Judgment” 14. “The Spell Is Broke, the Charm Is Flown!”

Easter - A Drama in Three Acts

August Strindberg

Set against the backdrop of a small college town, the Heyst's familial tensions converge during the holiday weekend; not only is the family's livelihood at stake, but the debt collector has just come into town, the youngest daughter has returned from an institution unprompted, and there's even a question of fidelity to boot. However, against the simplicity of communal gatherings and the warmth of familial bonds, the worries that once seemed insurmountable begin to fade. And through the lens of Easter's promise of renewal, Strindberg suggests that life's burdens may be lighter than they appear, offering a glimpse of hope amidst the chaos of everyday existence.

Short Story Press, Ruth Pettite

Incorporating real-time happenings, "Bedeviled Nightingale" works to explain tragic times for even those people to whom we don't think it could happen. Brianna is an author, hunkered in her cabin for relaxation and work. She uses the cabin as her office and her home, away from the hustle from the city. 
Divorced and focused, Brianna wants nothing to do but to take care of her world. She enjoys the nature around her and what it provides, until her ex-husband comes knocking down her door. Her Southern ways taught her many things, including ignoring people she doesn't want to be around or talk to. Nathaniel brings bad news from the lower country, cuing Brianna to pack and go with him to her father. 
Family secrecy is one of many things found in this town. Brianna's family is no different. From the lack of communications to the destruction of other family members, this family was doomed from the start.  
Desperation brings out the best in people, but not always in the best circumstances. Brianna and Nathaniel both find this out when Short Story Press and Ruth Pettite present "Bedeviled Nightingale". 
Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

Nell

Penelope Todd

Nell is born to a new century, her life forged in the expanses of the New Zealand High Country. She yearns to go beyond the confines of family expectation and vows to keep alive the flame of her inner freedom. Yet that freedom is tested: by her husband’s pride and the rigours of family life on a Maniototo sheep station. Her trust is betrayed. Another love must be reckoned with. Tragedy befalls her. Two wars, a pandemic and the Depression keep Nell tethered by duty. Is it even possible for a woman of Nell’s era to carve her own path? Nell dares to step beyond the bounds; she revels and stumbles in love; encounters the perils of a woman’s life and of motherhood; she embraces the consolation of friendship and seeks a worldview that can hold it all. Readers will resonate with the quintessentially New Zealand character of Nell – her failings and her integrity, her compassion and strength.
