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.

Children of the Sun is the first installment of its self-titled trilogy. This recording is the first portion of the book, and more episodic installments will follow in the near future. In a reimagined precolonial Africa, a powerful king's nephew comes home to find his nation on the brink of war. Unsure of his own next move, he joins his royal warrior cousins on their westward march to stop an invasion. Though he has no plans to fight, other problems find him on the road, pushing him toward an instability of his own. Back in the kingdom, a more distant relative is called upon to keep the peace in a land missing most of its strength. As the overt invasion looms above, she leads the king's defense against an enemy they cannot see, gathering strength right there at home. All the while, old wounds inside the family and out are brought to the surface, threatening to unravel all the players involved. The demons of the past converge with the troubles of the present, giving way to an uncertain future for them all.Mostra libro
