  Antwerp - From their pens to...

  Ford Madox Ford

  Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Hermann Hueffer on 17th December 1873 in Wimbledon, London, England.    
  Today he is best known for one book, ‘The Good Soldier’, which is regularly held to be one of the 100 greatest novels of all time.  But, rather unfairly, the breadth of his career has been overshadowed.  He wrote novels as well as essays, poetry, memoirs and literary criticism. Today he is well-regarded but known only for a few works rather than the grand arc of his career. 
  Ford collaborated with Joseph Conrad on three novels but would later complain that, as with all his collaborators, and those he so readily championed, his contribution was overshadowed by theirs.  
  He founded The English Review and The Transatlantic Review which were instrumental in publishing and promoting the works of so many authors and movements. 
  During WWI he initially worked on propaganda books before enlisting. Ford was invalided back to Britain in 1917, remaining in the army and giving lectures until the War’s end. After a spell recuperating in the Sussex countryside he lived mostly in France during the 1920s.  
  He published the series of four novels known as Parade’s End, between 1924 and 1928. These were particularly well-received in America, where Ford spent much of his time from the later 1920s to his death in 1939. 
  His last years were spent teaching at Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan. 
  Ford Madox Ford died on 26th June 1939 at Deauville, France at the age of 65.

  Sad musings, violent contemplations, and painful rhymes fill the pages of this unapologetically raw debut poetry collection. Inspired by the poet's most traumatic experiences, each poem offers an unfiltered glimpse into a mind shaped by loss, anger, and survival.  
  These pages reflect the poets desperate search for peace in the aftermath of chaos. Beautiful words with no minimising, no softened edges; only truth, pain, and the haunting echoes of a life lived in the shadow of trauma.  
  A poignant, powerful, and uncensored retrospective that invites readers to witness the healing found not in silence, but in the storm. 
  *This collection is strictly 18+ as it contains a wide range of triggers, including references to various kinds of abuse, as well as some explicit language.

  Gitanjali is a collection of 103 poems in English, largely translations by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. This volume became very famous in the West, and was widely translated into other languages. In England a slender volume was published in 1913, with an exhilarating preface by W. B. Yeats. In the same year, Rabindranath became the first non-European to win the Nobel prize. (summary by Hilara)"On many an idle day have I grieved over lost time. But it is never lost, my lord. Thou hast taken every moment of my life in thine own hands.Hidden in the heart of things thou art nourishing seeds into sprouts, buds into blossoms, and ripening flowers into fruitfulness.I was tired and sleeping on my idle bed and imagined all work had ceased. In the morning I woke up and found my garden full with wonders of flowers." 81, Gitanjali
