  Over the Years - Selected...

  The fifty poems collected in Gillian Bickley’s Over The Years have been chosen by Verner Bickley from her five previously published collections. 
  “Sensitive, serious, sincere and sometimes a little sad...." (Dumitru M. Ion ( Romania), Member of the Arts and Sciences Academy in R. Macedonia, etc.,2014) 
  "Driven by curiosity as a poet but also by responsibility as the president of "The International Festival Curtea de Argeş Poetry Nights" in Romania (There have been twenty editions, attended in total by over fifteen hundred guests from about a hundred countries), I read and translate the lyrics of hundreds of poets. That's how I discovered the exceptional poet Gillian Bickley from Hong Kong. What firstly drew my attention was the savant level of her poetry; the science of balancing the rational with the sentiment. Each of her poems is sometimes a small novel, an essay or at other times a lyrical sublimate. Her poems are remembrances: from the past (an ancient past, a medieval past, and so on), from her own past or a possible reader's past. The way of shaping her poetry especially fascinates the professional reader. Because, of course, a professional poet (as Gillian Bickley is) will always need a professional reader.” – Dumitru M. Ion, 2016.

  Izabela the Valiant: The Story...

  A Spectator Best Book of the Year 
  Trawling through a vast family archive and arcane sources in half a dozen languages, Adam Zamoyski has revealed the dramatic life of his great-great-great grandmother, an uneducated, vulnerable girl cast into a man’s world. 
  Her aristocratic position enmeshed her in high politics and close encounters with Frederick the Great, Benjamin Franklin, Rousseau, Joseph II, Marie-Antoinette and Tsar Alexander I, and earned her the enmity of Catherine the Great. She lived through revolution and no less than five wars, in which her cherished homes were devastated, her possessions looted and her children scattered. Caught up in tempestuous love affairs which led her to nervous breakdown and the brink of suicide, exploited by her lovers, she remained undaunted and liberated herself through education. And, unusually for her time, she became a caring mother devoted to her children. 
  She learned much by travelling extensively around Europe at a time of political and ideological change, and her observations, particularly on Georgian Britain, are remarkable. She gradually won the admiration of learned men and intellectual honours. She pioneered schooling for children of the poor and developed her own educational methods. Fascinated by the power of objects to kindle memories and arouse emotions, she was an avid collector of anything with a sensuous association and built two unique museums to act as teaching aids. 
  This is a story of triumph over adversity and betrayal. It was not achieved by her looks: ‘I have never been beautiful, but I have sometimes been pretty,’ she wrote. It was achieved by force of character and resilience. 
  This non-fiction biography of Izabela the Valiant, a woman of character and resilience, takes the reader on a journey through the rebellions and revolutions of her time. Her story, deeply intertwined with the history of Poland, is a captivating exploration of royalty, politics, and personal strength. 
  For fans of Christopher Clark (Kaiser Wilhelm II), Martyn C. Rady (The Habsburgs), Norman Davies (George II), Tom Holland (Athelstan), and Simon Sebag Montefiore (Jerusalem).

  Gentleness - The Soft Strength -...

  Gentleness is often misunderstood as a sign of weakness, yet it embodies a strength that is both quiet and profound. In this chapter, we explore the true nature of gentleness and its essential role in fostering resilience, growth, and meaningful connections in our lives. Gentleness is not about being passive or submissive; rather, it is an active choice to approach the world with a tender heart, an open mind, and a compassionate spirit. 
  The concept of gentleness invites us to slow down, listen carefully, and respond to life’s challenges with grace. It is a deliberate practice of choosing calm over chaos, empathy over judgment, and understanding over reaction. In a world that often values speed, assertiveness, and dominance, gentleness offers an alternative path—a path that emphasizes mindfulness, care, and the beauty of subtle influence. 
  Throughout history, many influential figures have demonstrated that true strength can be found in a gentle approach. Their lives remind us that power does not solely reside in loud voices or aggressive actions, but also in the quiet determination to remain kind and compassionate even in the face of adversity. This perspective shifts the focus from the external measures of success to the inner quality of one’s character. It is through gentleness that we can nurture our own well-being and create a ripple effect that transforms our relationships and communities.

  From surfer and writer Stuart Holmes Coleman, Eddie Would Go is the compelling story of Eddie Aikau's legendary life and legacy, a pipeline into the exhilarating world of surfing, and an important chronicle of the Hawaiian Renaissance and the emergence of modern Hawaii. 
   
   
   
  In the 1970s, a decade before bumper stickers and T-shirts bearing the phrase Eddie Would Go began popping up all over the Hawaiian islands and throughout the surfing world, Eddie Aikau was proving what it meant to be a "waterman." As a fearless and gifted surfer, he rode the biggest waves in the world; as the first and most famous Waimea Bay lifeguard on the North Shore, he saved hundreds of lives from its treacherous waters; and as a proud Hawaiian, he sacrificed his life to save the crew aboard the voyaging canoe Hokule'a.
