    An Apology for the Life of Mrs. Shamela Andrews, or simply Shamela, as it is more commonly known, is a satirical novel written by Henry Fielding and first published in April 1741 under the name of Mr. Conny Keyber. Fielding never owned to writing the work, but it is widely considered to be his. It is a direct attack on the then-popular novel Pamela (November 1740) by Fielding's contemporary and rival Samuel Richardson and is composed, like Pamela, in epistolary form. Shamela is written as a shocking revelation of the true events which took place in the life of Pamela Andrews, the main heroine of Pamela. From Shamela we learn that, instead of being a kind, humble, and chaste servant-girl, Pamela (whose true name turns out to be Shamela) is in fact a wicked and lascivious creature, scheming to entrap her master, Squire Booby, into marriage.

    Redux has 30 more poems, reshaping the narrative created in the first book. This version tells a longer and more heartfelt story. Museum of The Soul is a collection of poems that tell a love story. These poems cover the real dynamics of romantic relationships, seen through my eyes. The title The Time IT Took originates from the time it took to put together a body such as this. The title also loosely represents my romantic relationship history. Museum of My Soul in that sense is a collection of artifacts (poems) from different periods of my life and relationships. The book still obliges to three exhibits set forth in the first book: Exhibit A: Falling, Exhibit B: Being broken, and Exhibit C: Ending

  • The Poetry of Katherine Mansfield - Poems from New Zealands greatest writer and her tragically young life - cover

    The Poetry of Katherine...

    Katherine Mansfield

    Katherine was born on the 14th October 1888 into a prominent family in Wellington, New Zealand, the middle child of five. 
     
    A gifted celloist, at one point she thought she might take it up professionally but writing gradually began to move to the forefront of her interests. Her first writings were published at an early age in school magazines. 
     
    At 19 Katherine left for England where she met and befriended the modernist writers D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf amongst others. She then travelled to Europe before returning to New Zealand. There she began to write the short stories that she would later become so famous for. Her stories often focus on moments of disruption and frequently open rather abruptly.  
     
    There was another less-heralded side to Katherine’s writings; that of poetry.  Her verse certainly reflects much of the themes of her life and interests.   Many poems are beautiful, thoughtful, tender and observant works on the human condition.  Some though seem out of kilter for so great a talent, almost child-like in form and content.  But taken as yet another facet of her work they accomplish much in helping us to understand her. 
     
    By 1908 she had returned to London and to a rather more bohemian lifestyle. Life was to be lived and enjoyed.  A passionate affair resulted in her becoming pregnant and in her being married off to an older man.   But she left him the same evening with the marriage unconsummated. She was then to miscarry and be cut out of her mother’s will (allegedly because of her lesbianism). 
     
    In 1911 she was to start a relationship with John Middleton Murry, a magazine editor, and although it was volatile he supported her work and she wrote some of her best stories. 
     
    During the First World War Mansfield contracted extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which rendered any return or visit to New Zealand impossible and led to her death at the tender age of 34 on 9th January 1923 in Fontainebleau, France.

    The Poetry of Cats

    William Wordsworth, Rainer Maria...

    The cat. Independent when it wants and making us dependent on its whims when it deems.  Cats are first thought of as being domesticated in the Near East in about 7500 BC.  A few thousand years later in Ancient Egypt they are worshipped as gods.  From a domestic cat’s point of view this is pretty much the life they want and that some cats lead right now.    
      
    Their larger cousins whether in forest, savannah, mountains or desert were fated for their speed, strength, beauty, feline powers and prowess.  They now live in a finely balanced world between freedom and declining numbers as their habitats are destroyed or taken from them.  
     
    Across the centuries poets have written verse that captures all manner of thoughts on our complex relationship with all cats, though mainly the humble moggy, on whose whims we slave over, eager for a look of recognition, the nod of thanks or the purr of gratitude.
