Get Closer

Sinossi

In his latest collection, Ryan Van Winkle uses photographs to access themes of abandonment, generational incomprehension and the very notion of how we end up where we are. This collection is a poetic photo album.
Through these poems, Van Winkle looks at life through a lens – to get closer – to meditate on the anxieties and insecurities of a life. He reckons with how we remember and misremember, and how memories and people can be difficult, and at times painful, to hold on to. In reading this collection it becomes clear that while photographs can be carefully ordered, the emotions and impressions surrounding them cannot.

Adventures of a Countryside...

Dr. Thomas T Thomas

Sally, a beautiful young pregnant woman, came to the hospital supposedly for pre-term labor pains but delivered a fully mature, healthy boy. Her face, smiling with relief after the stress of delivery, quickly changed to apprehension.  
“Doctor, what will you tell my husband and family? Can you please tell them that the baby is premature?” She asked. 
“How can I?” Dr. Thomas replied helplessly. “The baby is fully grown and mature, as anyone can see.” 
“You mean to say that there is nothing wrong with the child, Doctor?” Johnykutty, her husband, asked in dismay and anguish. “But we’ve been married for just seven months!” 
Her husband and his family go away, leaving Sally and the illegitimate child. 
What will be her future? 
What fate awaits the unwanted child? 
This book is an enchanting story of a young doctor couple who ventured into a remote, rural forested village to re-open a defunct hospital, their involvement in the mysteries and conflicts of their patients, the daunting challenges - both nonmedical and medical, the agony of failures, and the ecstasy of triumphs.

Ascension The Path To Liberation

Justin Wesenberg

Ascension is a channeled poetry book about finding freedom so that you can realize your highest potential in this lifetime.  
This poetry book is for those who are ready to liberate their soul and find complete freedom. 
How can I thank 
All these teachers of mine 
For sharing with me 
A love that is divine 
So that I could find 
My inner light 
Trust myself 
Learn to shine bright 
And radiate love 
To all that I meet 
To the people of Earth 
I bow at your feet 
So that I may discover 
The Most High 
Trust the guidance 
And let myself fly 
To the land beyond 
That which we know 
An infinite space 
To learn and grow 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by my time living at an ashram receiving teachings from Shiva, the Archangels and Ascended Masters, and the Divine Mother. 
If you’re on the path to creating more freedom, love, and joy in your life, Ascension The Path To Liberation will guide you on your journey to liberate your soul!

Queers: Eight Monologues

Various Various

A young soldier returning from the trenches of the First World War recollects a love that dare not speak its name. Almost one hundred years later, a groom-to-be prepares for his gay wedding.
Queers celebrates a century of evolving social attitudes and political milestones in British gay history, as seen through the eyes of eight individuals. 
Poignant and personal, funny, tragic and riotous, these eight monologues for male and female performers cover major events – such as the Wolfenden Report of 1957, the HIV/AIDS crisis, and the debate over the age of consent – through deeply affecting and personal rites-of-passage stories.
Curated by Mark Gatiss, the monologues were commissioned to mark the anniversary of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which decriminalised homosexual acts in private between two men over the age of twenty-one. They were broadcast on BBC Four in 2017, directed and produced by Gatiss, and starring Alan Cumming, Rebecca Front, Ian Gelder, Kadiff Kirwan, Russell Tovey, Gemma Whelan, Ben Whishaw and Fionn Whitehead. They were also staged at The Old Vic in London.
This volume includes:

- The Man on the Platform by Mark Gatiss
- The Perfect Gentleman by Jackie Clune
- Safest Spot in Town by Keith Jarrett
- Missing Alice by Jon Bradfield
- I Miss the War by Matthew Baldwin
- More Anger by Brian Fillis

Edna St. Vincent Millay, Hilda...

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
In this century The Pulitzer and other elite prizes shower down on poets who use words in ways that help to explore and explain the ever-changing world in which they live.
