Sinopse

Frieze by Olga Dermott-Bond is an astonishing and spellbinding debut poetry collection. Goddesses, saints, dead girls, creatures, mothers, and muses all gather in this collection to confide their secret histories and desires. Voices are recovered from canvas, from behind museum glass, from the pages of literature and the tales of Irish folklore, to explore what can be recaptured and what remains still out of reach.
'In these tender poems, Olga Dermott-Bond conjures a gallery in which we enter every painting, a museum where we slip inside glass cases and come out changed.' - Miriam Nash
From a bold voice in women's poetry. Frieze is art obsessed and darkly magical, with a touch of gothic. Akin to poets like Victoria Kennefick, Helen Ivory and Pascale Petit.

Samadhi is a channeled poetry book about finding enlightenment, and awakening the world through the divine light of your soul.  
This poetry book is for those who are ready to rise as leaders of the new earth, and awaken the world. 
It's time to discover 
Your highest light 
As the stars illuminate 
The dark of the night 
And guide the way 
For those who explore 
It's time to open the gateway 
And unlock the door 
To a life of prosperity 
And inner bliss 
Your reality will change 
When you experience this 
No longer will you 
Limit your soul 
You will discover your essence 
And find you are whole 
Allow yourself to reunite 
With the light of the divine 
It's time to rise 
And let yourself shine 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by my search for enlightenment, and how yogis achieve this state in samadhi. 
If you’re ready to shine your divine light upon the world, Samadhi The Divine Light will be your lighthouse in the dark!

Lady, the first full collection of poems by Laurie Bolger, arrives 'all giddy with endorphins' and explores the many roles girls and women are asked to play and the dressing-up outfits they try on for size – whether housewife or hen, sister or mum, landlady, exercise instructor or best friend forever. Bolger's poems turn her bold, funny and wise words on boys, body image and the pressure to make yourself fit into a pigeon-hole, when all you really want to do is soar away on your own wings.
Here, these gritty and effervescent poems look to the things that sustain us when navigating an imperfect world obsessed with perfection. Whether dancing in the kitchen, crying in the bath or eating crisps, these poems are equal parts delicious, joyous, and bittersweet. A celebration of the resilience of working-class women and the solidarity and love found in friendship and family, Bolger's poems dare to dream and be wild – and invite us all to join her.

For she knows that she is his creation, a monster herself.

So she tries to fit in and become somebody else.

The forced noise of happiness births from her stapled lips.

She ravages and mauls at her skin, not a sound of pain as she begins to rip.

Even with her mask in place, she does not belong here, even when in disguise.

They can see straight through to her soul through her transparent eyes.

There they source innocence and naivety, hope, and ignorance.

And so, the man they call Narcissus, asks her to dance.

And so, begins the story all over again.

Into his arms she was beckoned in.

Hope raped by Narcissus birthed a gorgon conception.

Birthed a child who shook her head at love and any form of affection.

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on."

Transport yourself to a remote, enchanted island in William Shakespeare's final masterpiece, The Tempest. Prospero, the usurped Duke of Milan, has spent twelve years in exile, mastering the occult arts and commanding the spirits of the isle. When a magical storm brings his treacherous enemies to his shores, Prospero finally has the chance to settle the score.

The play is a breathtaking blend of spectacle and soul-searching. Guided by the ethereal spirit Ariel and hindered by the earthy, resentful Caliban, Prospero orchestrates a series of illusions to confront his brother's betrayal. Yet, amid the schemes of revenge, a tender romance blossoms between his daughter, Miranda, and the shipwrecked Prince Ferdinand.

A profound meditation on the nature of authority, the bond of family, and the power of mercy, The Tempest is often seen as Shakespeare's farewell to the stage. This definitive edition captures the play's unique atmospheric beauty and its timeless message of reconciliation.

Surrender to the magic of the isle. Buy "The Tempest" today and experience the Bard's final, visionary work.

This is a thriller which traces the history of the Stevens family from 1916 to 2020, covering four generations. What is so unusual about this family is that they are all special intelligence operatives and serve in an ultra-secret unit answering to senior military officers appointed directly by the King. In each generation, the eldest son is selected to carry on the tradition when he reaches the age of 21 years.The operatives are highly-trained as intelligence agents, and their role is to act as judge, jury and executioner of the targets selected. The targets are men and women who have been engaged in treasonous activities or conducting espionage for a foreign power, but the agent has been given the discretion to satisfy himself that the charges are justified before he executes the offender.
