Summary

Gitanjali meaning song offerings in Bengali, is a collection of poems by the renowned Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. It was first published in 1910 and won Tagore the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, making him the first non-European to win the prestigious award. The poems are written in lyrical prose, expressing themes of love, devotion, longing, and the quest for spiritual enlightenment. The collection is deeply rooted in Tagore's own spiritual journey and reflects his belief in the unity of all religions and the universal essence of humanity. 

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) was a multifaceted genius and one of the most prominent figures in Indian literature, art, and culture. He was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India, into a prominent Bengali family known for its contributions to literature, music, and social reform.

    This historical novel, told in two stories 20 twenty years apart, explores the relationships that unfold on the West Coast of Te Wai Pounamu New Zealand, in the mid-19th century, as isolated, difficult to access parts of the country are entered by European explorers guided by local Maori. 
    Set in the 19th Century, it plaits together as a flax-root narrative prose and poetic imagery to tell a timeless love story. It links people with the natural environment, and blends languages, cultures, shared endeavour and compassion in a vivid multi-cultural epiphany of life in Aotearoa-New Zealand. - John Weir

    Incorporating real-time happenings, "Bedeviled Nightingale" works to explain tragic times for even those people to whom we don't think it could happen. Brianna is an author, hunkered in her cabin for relaxation and work. She uses the cabin as her office and her home, away from the hustle from the city. 
    Divorced and focused, Brianna wants nothing to do but to take care of her world. She enjoys the nature around her and what it provides, until her ex-husband comes knocking down her door. Her Southern ways taught her many things, including ignoring people she doesn't want to be around or talk to. Nathaniel brings bad news from the lower country, cuing Brianna to pack and go with him to her father. 
    Family secrecy is one of many things found in this town. Brianna's family is no different. From the lack of communications to the destruction of other family members, this family was doomed from the start.  
    Desperation brings out the best in people, but not always in the best circumstances. Brianna and Nathaniel both find this out when Short Story Press and Ruth Pettite present "Bedeviled Nightingale". 
    Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
