The mythology of the Train, the Railroad, those two shiny tracks running off into the far distance is a powerful symbol of the industrial age. The train was the first mass transit system to network the land and to carry people and materials of every class and of every shape. A sort of democracy with the only requirement of use being the price of a ticket. Poets who grew up with this pulsating leviathan of industry were quick to see its merits for their own lines and verse. Across these poems comes both an individual eye across a wide range of feelings, thoughts and ideas as well as, occasionally, the trainspotter’s delight for form and detail from poets such as Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas, Edna St Vincent Millay, Damon Runyon and a host of others. 1 - The Poetry of Trains - An Introduction 2 - A Song of the Rails by Damon Runyon 3 - Song of a Train by John Davidson 4 - Song of the Rail by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 5 - Rhyme of the Rail by John Godfrey Saxe 6 - Up the Line by Will Carleton 7 - From a Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson 8 - An Incident in a Railroad Car by Jamers Russell Lowell 9 - Railway Times by Martin Faraquar Tupper 10 - On the Engine by Night by Alexander Anderson 11 - The Night Journey by Rupert Brooke 12 - Travel by Edna St Vincent Millay 13 - Train Ride by Federico Garcia Lorca 14 - The Train by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge 15 - Homeward Ho! by Ada A Mosher 16 - The Rail Road by James Very 17 - The Railway Train by Emily Dickinson 18 - In the Train by James Thomson 19 - The Division Superintendent by Ambrose Bierce 20 - The Word of an Engineer by James Weldon Johnson 21 - The Train Among the Hills by Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts 22 - The Gospel Train.

Inspired by the mountains, forests, animals, and people of Appalachia, If Lost is Clint Bowman's exhilarating debut about how these elements collide and struggle to co-exist in an ever-changing landscape. Bowman's poems are a guide through this beautiful, brutal, and often misunderstood world where threats to the region come from all sides. Invasive species strangle the trees around corrupt churches and failing convenience stores, while truckers cry in parking lots and deer contemplate death along the highway. In If Lost, Bowman demonstrates how everyone and everything is lost in some way, but that it's possible to find a way out. Praise for If Lost “You can feel the thickness in the air, the smells, and the overgrown nature of it all. A poetry deeply connected to the place from which it comes.” —Keith Zarriello, musician and lead singer of The Shivers “In this astounding collection, truckers cry, milkweed and honeysuckle overtake, poinsettias wilt in winter frost, and bear hunters haunt the stories of our conscience...” —Garrett Ashley, author of Periphylla, and Other Deep Ocean Attractions “If Lost offers us a starkly honest and rarely seen western North Carolina, with all its diverse species in bitter harmony… We cannot know what the future holds for this delicate region and its people, but these poems will keep you warm and light your way.” —Leah Hampton, author of F*ckface and Other Stories “…Bowman encompasses the complexity and beauty of what it means to be from the American South, capturing the quiet, sometimes bleak magic that encompasses his world.” —Thomas Dollbaum, musicianVer livro
'Every one of us will be here for a different particular reason. I am here because I am passionate about history.' It is 2019, the Year of Return, marking four hundred years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in America. We are at a slave castle in Ghana. Samuel is our tour guide. It's his job to give tourists a really, really authentic experience of the castle's dark history, and to do it all with a smile. Thank you, Samuel! The tourists are Samuel's guests, and they're on a journey of self-discovery. But they're here, standing on soil, blood and bones, asking for a selfie. They want to buy trinkets from the gift shop. Samuel would never want to hurt the tourists. And they would never want to hurt him. Rhianna Ilube's Samuel Takes a Break… in Male Dungeon No. 5 After a Long but Generally Successful Day of Tours is a genre-blending play about colonialism, identity and the attempt to preserve the past. It was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting and the Verity Bargate Award, and was a finalist for the 2024 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It premiered at The Yard Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike.Ver livro
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 volume the English language reveals itself in a scale and depth that few others can compare with. It seems to be an advantage to be able to choose from over a million words and yet, it is not the words but the way in which they are used that resonate with us all. Is there some bond between the English and writing poetry? Maybe, maybe not, but let us celebrate these poems down the ages, not as one nation’s hoard but humanity’s gift.Ver livro
