Synopsis

In "The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar," the enduring voice of African American literature is powerfully encapsulated. Dunbar's poetry, characterized by its rhythmic cadences and profound emotional depth, navigates the experiences of African Americans in post-Civil War America. Through a juxtaposition of dialect and standard English, he eloquently conveys themes of identity, struggle, and resilience. His use of innovative forms and vivid imagery reflects the socio-political landscape of his time, making his work a pivotal commentary on race relations and cultural identity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) was a pioneer in American literature, often celebrated as the first African American to gain national prominence. Raised in Dayton, Ohio, by formerly enslaved parents, Dunbar's experiences profoundly influenced his writing. His early exposure to the racial injustices of society, along with his extensive education and literary ambitions, fueled his desire to give voice to the African American experience through poignant verse and compelling storytelling. This collection is a crucial addition to any literary canon, offering readers both historical insight and artistic brilliance. For those interested in the intersections of race and literature, "The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar" is an essential read, providing a timeless reflection on the resilience of the human spirit and the complexities of cultural identity.

Domesticated Volume Two

James Domestic

In the second Domesticated instalment, East Anglian punk poet, James Domestic, is once again taking potshots at work, so-called-punk-rock, outdoor and indoor pursuits, aging, right wing lunatics, politics, feet, and himself. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also find his trademark surrealism, sarcasm, and quintessentially British whimsy applied to animals, emails, food, and the power of music, alongside his idiosyncratic illustrations, and photographs from his murky past. 
  
A man in too many bands to count, a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, and a punk. James Domestic failed miserably at school through the distractions of music, alcohol, and girls, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD. A square peg in life’s round hole. A face that never fitted. He couldn’t care less. Come along for the ride. 
  
“A sardonic, sarcastic wit, a penchant for the surreal, and a dynamic pace” (Nathan Brown, Louder Than War) 
  
“Words that bite, belch, and bleed in their brilliance” (Mark Grist, multi-award-winning poet and battle rapper) 
  
“A unique collection of poetic ventures into the human condition, with humour, anger, and a canny use of language: inspired and inspiring!” (Dick Lucas, Subhumans, Culture Shock etc.) 
  
“Relentless” (Attila the Stockbroker, social surrealist poet and songwriter).

Kaleidoscope

Mallory Rowse

Come  and marvel at how life at large can be encapsulated into a microcosm in  the form of poetic license.  Let this book be your companion when seeking to have some me-time and to chill out in your own chosen surroundings. 
 
Or,  discuss Mallory’s poems in more depth with others. Poetry can truly dazzle and serves as an equal alternative to the excitement of reading novels. 
 
The  beauty of poetry is the choice given to read any extract to another appropriate age group that can introduce them into this wonderful genre of literature. Similar  to music, the titles stay with the reader and will, in virtual speak, stamp its date and location to induce its messages across the wide spectrum of what everyone likes to imagine or likes to encounter. 
 
Poetry is the perfect treat or gift for anyone who would like to travel on a magic carpet away from the madding crowd. Soothe yourself instead - in contrast to an edge of seat thriller novel or film. 
 
Enjoy!
