Have you ever felt called to create something? Have you felt that nudge that becomes a desire? Then that desire becomes ambition, and then you’re almost compelled to complete what you started? From the beginning of time, God has called His children to share the Good News. One group of individuals He especially loves to call is artists. Looking at the sweeping majesty of a fiery sunset, or the delicate perfection of a single flower, I know that God is an artist.

‘Better to have questions you can’t answer than answers you can’t question.’ The author describes these poems as ‘stumblings’ because they are stumbling attempts to understand what can seem beyond understanding. In his writing he confronts the issues that are inescapably a part of being human, as he sees them playing out in the maelstrom of his own life. He takes us into areas of desperation, confusion, even despair, but also of acceptance, fulfilment, ecstasy, obstinate faith, and above all of tender love. The poems range widely through philosophical musings, urgent questioning about what it is to be human, irony, self-mockery, overwhelming passion – and always with an intensity that acknowledges that everything matters, everything has meaning if only we could decode it. And throughout this volume the writer attempts to comprehend and reach the elusive God who he believes in but fails so comprehensively to connect with as deeply as he longs to. Any readers who are prepared to stumble with the writer on this poetic journey through life may find themselves in a place where they can at least begin to understand, accept, and even glory in their imperfect humanity as the writer does. And maybe hope to stumble into Grace, enlightened and affirmed.Voir livre
'The world is stacked against women like me. But things are different now.' 1912. In an isolated house on the Sussex salt marshes, Connie Gifford lives with her father. Robbed of her childhood memories by a mysterious accident, she is haunted by fitful glimpses of her past – whilst her father has become a broken man, taking refuge in the bottle, since the closure of his once-legendary Museum of Avian Taxidermy. A strange woman has been seen in the graveyard – and a few miles away, two patients have, inexplicably, disappeared from the local asylum. As a major storm hits the coastline, old wounds are about to be opened as one woman, intent on revenge, attempts to liberate another from the horrifying crimes of the past. The Taxidermist's Daughter is a thrilling Gothic story of violence, retribution and justice, adapted for the stage by Kate Mosse from her own internationally best-selling novel, and first performed at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2022, directed by Róisín McBrinn.

James Russell Lowell was born on 22nd February 1819 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lowell graduated from Harvard in 1838, and thence on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. His literary life began in 1841 with his first published collection of poetry. Three years later he married Maria White and they had several children although, sadly, only one was to survive childhood. A consuming issue at the time was the abolition of slavery. Lowell was a staunch supporter even going so far as to move to Philadelphia to edit an abolitionist newspaper. His poems were fully in support of Emancipation and the ending of this terrible abomination. His later views were milder and came in for some criticism. His publication in 1848 of the long poem ‘A Fable for Critics’, satirising the poets and critics of the then current poetry scene caused an uproar. That same year came ‘The Biglow Papers’, which increased his fame and his finances. His use of the Yankee accent in his character’s dialogue was an inspiration for many. Maria died in 1853 and Lowell decided to travel to Europe for some time before returning to Harvard to take up a professorship of languages. In 1857 he re-married and also took on the editorship of that key periodical ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ whilst continuing to teach at Harvard. Lowell wrote and published poetry and essay collections throughout his literary career and is acknowledged as one of the ‘Fireside Poets’, a group of New England poets that rivalled the popularity of British poets. Their work was not controversial and suitable for whole families to enjoy hence their name and appeal. Whilst Lowell’s own work does not now attract the same praise as his then contemporaries, he was their equal. Towards the end of his life Lowell was appointed as ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain and later to the Court of St. James's. His last years were a return home to his estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts. By the summer of 1891 doctors had diagnosed cancer in his kidneys, liver and lungs. There was nothing that they could do except prescribe opium for the pain. James Russell Lowell died on the 12th of August 1891 on the Cambridge estate where he was also born.
