  What the Living Do - Poems

  • 0

  Informed by the death of a beloved brother, here are the stories of childhood, its thicket of sex and sorrow and joy, boys and girls growing into men and women, stories of a brother who in his dying could teach how to be most alive. What the Living Do reflects ““a new form of confessional poetry, one shared to some degree by other women poets such as Sharon Olds and Jane Kenyon. Unlike the earlier confessional poetry of Plath, Lowell, Sexton et al., Howe’s writing is not so much a moan or a shriek as a song. It is a genuinely feminine form…a poetry of intimacy, witness, honesty, and relation”” (Boston Globe).
  
  
  
  This audio edition of What the Living Do is beautifully read by the author. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  "The Black Mom" by Ifeanyi Njoku is a tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering love of Black mothers. The poem portrays a mother who endures hardships with grace, building a legacy from struggle while nurturing her children with wisdom and love. She instills strength in them, teaching them their worth beyond societal expectations. 
  Her presence is deeply connected to ancestral wisdom, carrying the spirit of warriors who came before her. Despite challenges, she fights for her children’s future, balancing prayers, tears, and perseverance. Even in adversity, she finds moments to smile, embodying the history, pride, and struggles of her people. 
  The poem urges readers to truly see and acknowledge the power in Black mothers—not just as individuals but as the foundation of their families and communities. She is not just a mother; she is the roots, the branches, and the strength of generations. 
  With an additional Voice by Njoku Juliet Nwanyichukwu

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  He did not wear his scarlet coat, 
  For blood and wine are red, 
  And blood and wine were on his hands 
  When they found him with the dead, 
  The poor dead woman whom he loved, 
  And murdered in her bed.

  England's Martyr

  Based on true events, England's Martyr is the opening book in a trilogy depicting the rise of the historically existing English hero, Edmund Ironside. 
  1010 AD: After years of inept rule and incessant invasion, England is on the brink of ruin, its people brutalised and its lands ravaged from wave after wave of Norse marauders. 
  As the country cracks under yet another assault – this time from the fearsome hordes of the cruel heathen warlord, Thorkell the Tall – a single nobleman, Ulfcytel, has set himself to raising an army, thinking it better to fight and perhaps prevail rather than wait for his ill-advised king, Ethelred, to make himself useful. 
  Whilst Ulfcytel rallies his forces, he is surprised to find reinforcements arriving from elsewhere, some of them led by Alaric – a heroic and Godly man from the lands of Wessex. Inspired by Alaric’s fortitude, Ulfcytel agrees on a daring plan, thinking he has a chance to eliminate Thorkell and thus cut the head from the heathen horde before battle is joined. 
  Unbeknownst to either Ulfcytel or Alaric, their absent King Ethelred has plans of his own, plans that will leave them at risk of not only their foreign enemies but the blades of traitors from within their own ranks. 
  Before all is lost, the two heroes realise they must confront the corruption beating at the heart of England, and in doing so set the stage for the emergence of a new contender for the throne. A man known to history as Edmund. Edmund Ironside. 
  Caution: This book is set during a particularly traumatic episode in English history that involved extreme military and societal upheaval. The story thus depicts repeated instances of physical conflict/violence, including some which are of a sexual nature. Reader discretion is advised.

  Kevin Goes to Japan 4 - Stories...

  This book is the last volume of "Kevin Goes to Japan."　Now Yukio, Tomoko, and Yumiko have arrived in London. How could Yumiko talk to Kevin with her honest feeling toward him? 
  1. London After 17 Years  
  2. Yukio's Yukio's Nostalgic Memories  
  3. It Is Like a Moth Flying into the Flame?  
  4. Mature Woman  
  5. Are You a Hetare?  
  6. Jumping Off the Stage in Kiyomizu Temple  
  7. Eternal Love  
  8. The True Identity of Tomoko the Yandere  
  9. Already Being a Domineering Husband?  
  135 JLPT sample questions and word lists come with the story. 
  This reading level is almost N1 level because the story goes towards an end, and I wanted to focus on more plots and how the characters feel. Also, the setting is in the UK, which makes word lists longer. Reading my book does not mean that you will be able to speak Japanese fluently, but I believe you will have improved your reading comprehension skills because I made it progressively more difficult from 1 to 4. 
  The paperback versions will be released soon to check the word lists and practice sample questions for some of you. 
  I hope you keep learning Japanese through the bilingual novel entitled "Parasite Man," a story about Yukio and Tomoko. (Kevin and Yumiko will be there, but not soon.) Five of Yukio's colleagues weave love stories where they want to be loved. Can they find true love? The first volume will be released in August/September 2022. 
  Thank you again, and good luck studying Japanese and reading bilingual novels.

  'What happened then, some would say, was almost magic.'
  Disregarded and disobedient, ten-year-old Mary Lennox is sent from India to Yorkshire, and put into the care of an uncle she has never met.
  At Misselthwaite Manor, a brokenhearted house full of secrets and strange noises, Mary discovers a garden as lost and neglected as she is. If she can learn to make friends with robins, grumpy gardeners and a boy who speaks to animals, Mary might be able to bring more than just the garden back to life…
  The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett's tale about the magic of nature and the nature of magic, has been a beloved and quietly radical classic of children's literature since its publication in 1911. Holly Robinson and Anna Himali Howard's thrillingly adventurous adaptation was first performed at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, London, in 2024.
