Beschreibung

An illustrated book of poems about motherhood and caregiving.Circle of Life is the fourth book in the Twelve Poems to Inspire series, poetry gift books for special events, like Christmas or Valentine’s Day, and life occasions, including loss and new beginnings.The book is an ideal gift for a mother on Mother’s Day or anytime--and for anyone who nurtures or nurses, protects or pampers another.As in the other books in this series, some of the poems here celebrate beauty but they are not all sweetness and light. Orna Ross's inspirational poetry is true to life’s most elemental forces, as well as the spirit concealed within.This book understands that mothering is a practice, as well as an experience. Something we give as well as receive. 
 
Whether we are male or female, whether we had a loving or cruel or neglectful mother, or no mother at all, we can still mother ourselves. And being well-mothered is what gives us the capacity to mother others. Just like mother love, poetry love is best embraced as mystery and blessing. This book fosters both.

    ‘Better to have questions you can’t answer than answers you can’t question.’
     
    The author describes these poems as ‘stumblings’ because they are stumbling attempts to understand what can seem beyond understanding. In his writing he confronts the issues that are inescapably a part of being human, as he sees them playing out in the maelstrom of his own life. He takes us into areas of desperation, confusion, even despair, but also of acceptance, fulfilment, ecstasy, obstinate faith, and above all of tender love.
     
    The poems range widely through philosophical musings, urgent questioning about what it is to be human, irony, self-mockery, overwhelming passion – and always with an intensity that acknowledges that everything matters, everything has meaning if only we could decode it. And throughout this volume the writer attempts to comprehend and reach the elusive God who 
    he believes in but fails so comprehensively to connect with as deeply as he longs to. 
     
    Any readers who are prepared to stumble with the writer on this poetic journey through life may find themselves in a place where they can at least begin to understand, accept, and even glory in their imperfect humanity as the writer does. And maybe hope to stumble into Grace, 
    enlightened and affirmed.

    'A working-class woman inside the walls of Westminster? If that is not espionage, I do not know what is.'
    Forever on the right side of history, but on the wrong side of life, Labour MP Ellen Wilkinson is caught between revolutionary and parliamentary politics as she fights for a better world.
    Battling to save Jewish refugees in Nazi Germany; campaigning for Britain to aid the fight against Franco's Fascists in Spain; leading two hundred workers in the Jarrow Crusade against unemployment and poverty... she pursues each cause with a passionate, reckless conviction.
    And yet – despite a life spent running into the likes of Albert Einstein and Ernest Hemingway, serving in Churchill's cabinet, having affairs with communist spies and government ministers – she still finds herself, somehow, on the outside looking in.
    Caroline Bird's play Red Ellen is the remarkable true story of an inspiring and brilliant woman. It was first produced by Northern Stage, Nottingham Playhouse and the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in 2022.
