Sinopsis

what if / I actually – am – a bird / my cupped hands / opening to release me... Phil Barnett's relationship with birds is so close that his poetry blurs the distinctions between himself and the birds - a kind of ornimorphology where rather than giving the birds human characteristics, the reverse happens, and he imagines himself as a bird. Phil Barnett is a photographer, writer, musician, artist and naturalist, who has a passion for the birds that kept him company through a long hard illness. His photography and poetry have quite a following on social media, which is where we found him, on The Daily Haiku. His skill as a photographer leads to an acute visual sensibility, and his slow recovery moves from a tick sheet his mother had to fill in for him, to extraordinary poetry - full of wit and wonder and spectacular language.

The basic idea of this book is to share life experiences, and thereby give comfort and encourage smiles, by showing my own and others’ reflections on different life-situations. I am sure that many of them are comparable to those that occur in your life, or to others around you. By sharing 
experiences, we all learn something. Women are probably sharing thoughts more often than men. Many of the events in this book have also been discussed in female groups. They have not all been personally experienced by me but are the consensus from these fruitful discussions.
 Now I am pleased to share them with you. Among the experiences discussed in this book: heartbreak, the #MeToo movement and my own experiences, divorce as its complication as a
 parent, and my own thoughts about the pandemic. I also share with you my thoughts about the aging process that we all must endure, if we are lucky enough to live that long, since life is still a gift given to us all. We ought to remember that and enjoy the journey.

Troilus and Cressida - cover

Troilus and Cressida

William Shakespeare

Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1602. It was described by Frederick S. Boas as one of Shakespeare's problem plays. The play ends on a very bleak note with the death of the noble Trojan Hector and destruction of the love between Troilus and Cressida. The work has in recent years "stimulated exceptionally lively critical debate".
Throughout the play, the tone lurches wildly between bawdy comedy and tragic gloom, and readers and theatre-goers have frequently found it difficult to understand how one is meant to respond to the characters. Several characteristic elements of the play (the most notable being its constant questioning of intrinsic values such as hierarchy, honour and love) have often been viewed as distinctly "modern". 
Among the most significant works William Shakespeare: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.

Featuring new translations of previously untranslated Chinese short stories, Memorandum maps out seven decades of Sinophone Singaporean Literature. From bargirls to student activists, from trishaw men to tea merchants, this collection provides a glimpse into a world that has been previously invisible to Anglophone readers. Paired with critical essays, these stories showcase the richness and diversity of Singapore’s Chinese community, but also its inherent interconnectedness with other cultures within Singapore. 
 
“Memorandum is a pathbreaking anthology that refracts over half a century of Singapore’s history through its lens. The translated stories do much more than simply bridge Sinophone and Anglophone worlds: they actively cross geographical, cultural, linguistic and class boundaries, causing us to think more deeply about the nature of social power, and the transformative interventions literary texts can make.” 
-Philip Holden, scholar of Singapore &Southeast Asian literatures

A love story called My Hell was inspired by my Muse, and many of the poets I have studied. It was originally written to be a narrated stage play. In this Narrative epic Love Story there are hidden messages that only your subconscious will perceive. I wrote this epic story with the intent to show the moral of the story, "Love Conquers All." The story is about a  journey through Hell and many personal confrontations with Satan himself. This is one Journey through Hell you will never forget. Welcome to My Hell.

The Onward Song - Poems

K. J. Paradis

The Onward Song is poet K.J. Paradis's stunning debut collection—six dozen exquisitely crafted poems that are at once classical and wonderfully contemporary, poems made remarkable by their effortless musicality and unexpected metaphors. Paradis crafts verse that celebrates old boots, sharp pencils, first kisses, freckled constellations, the complex pleasures of a daughter's dance recital, and much more. A lawyer, entrepreneur, jazz musician, and a devoted student of the classics, Paradis's work also limns the lives and passions of luminaries like Einstein and van Gogh, Gertude Stein and Frank Lloyd Wright, Edward Hopper and Dave Brubeck. Often brief yet always deeply evocative, these are poems that are tender and mysterious, laced with curiosity and feeling, and they can also be a bit irreverent. A major new talent emerges in these pages, and The Onward Song is a collection of gems that often delight, sometimes surprise, and always amaze, poems as expansive as they are precise and delicate.
