Sinossi

Europe, Love Me Back is a collection of relentlessly questing, sharply satirical poems about the continent, and the poet's fraught relationship with it. Hurting yet clear-eyed, Rizwan explores and exposes what it means to be a small brown woman in Dutch suburbs, hospitals and academia

This is an angry love letter, to a place left behind yet always there, continuing to matter and hurt and shape the poet's identity.
"But no one was interested in eliciting my testimony;
after all I wasn't dead – I wasn't ill – and hadn't this
country treated me so well?
For it is not a human right to be much more than Agamben's bare life,
to exist in the hallowed halls of the academe,
because there comes a point when our wanting
is simply too much, obscene –"

    "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."
    
    Experience the most intimate and devastating of William Shakespeare's great tragedies. Othello, a heroic Moorish general in the service of Venice, has won the heart of the beautiful and virtuous Desdemona. But their happiness is short-lived, as Othello's ensign, the brilliant and sociopathic Iago, begins to weave a web of lies designed to destroy the General's life.
    
    Through subtle whispers and the calculated use of a misplaced handkerchief, Iago poisons Othello's mind with unfounded suspicions of Desdemona's infidelity. The play is a terrifying masterclass in psychological manipulation, showing how easily noble love can be transformed into murderous rage.
    
    This definitive edition presents the original text of a work that remains shockingly modern in its exploration of race, domesticity, and the nature of evil. A cornerstone of the Elizabethan theatre, Othello features Shakespeare's most complex villain and a tragic hero whose fall is as inevitable as it is heartbreaking.
    
    Witness the power of a lie. Buy "Othello" today and experience a masterwork of suspense and tragedy.

    Leaves of Grass is a groundbreaking collection of poems by Walt Whitman, often hailed as the most influential American poet of the 19th century. Known for its unconventional themes and free verse style, the work challenged traditional poetic conventions and established Whitman as a revolutionary figure in American literature. 
    At the heart of Leaves of Grass is a celebration of the individual, the body, and the natural world. Whitman's poetry often explores themes of democracy, equality, and the interconnectedness of all things. The collection is filled with vivid imagery, powerful metaphors, and a sense of boundless optimism. 
    One of the most striking aspects of Leaves of Grass is Whitman's use of free verse. By abandoning traditional poetic structures, he was able to capture the rhythm and cadence of everyday speech. This innovation allowed him to express his ideas with greater freedom and spontaneity

    Asphyxia - The Story of a Life...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Asphyxia is a hauntingly lyrical novel that unfolds like a cinematic screenplay in parenthetical time and conditional mood. Told through the voice of Nefeli—a young woman observing her life on a mental screen—this work blurs the boundaries between memory, myth, narration, and madness. Set in a literary universe where authors are tyrants, muses are merciless, and reality is often just a rumour, the story follows Nefeli’s metaphysical descent into guilt, obsession, and poetic hallucination. 
    Through the echo of voices—narrators, poets, and ghosts—the book explores the invisible lives of the mentally fragile, those who vanish quietly between diagnoses and metaphors. With a cast of characters both archetypal and painfully human, Asphyxia is not a love story, nor a murder mystery, though it flirts with both. It is a philosophical narrative about stories themselves: who writes them, who performs them, and who suffers them. 
    Written by Tomazo Pagonis and originally crafted in Greek, this audiobook has been translated into rich British English by Marilu Pagoni. It is recommended for lovers of experimental fiction, metafictional narrative, and those who sense their own lives unfolding in parentheses.

    The sun has descended below the far horizon.  The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land.  Day has gone and the nocturnal times reveal themselves.  But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves.  We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. 
    Our gloried poets are on hand though to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.  Among our ranks of astounding talents are Keats, Byron, Wordsworth, Hardy, Poe, Shelley, Longfellow and many more beside.  Their descriptions capture what they see and feel and describe as perhaps only a poet can. 
     This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
