  Headlong Hall is the first novel by Thomas Love Peacock, published in 1815 (dated 1816). As in his later novel Crotchet Castle, Peacock assembles a group of eccentrics, each with a single monomaniacal obsession, and derives humor and social satire from their various interactions and conversations. The setting is the country estate of Squire Harry Headlong Ap-Rhaiader, Esq. in Wales. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Here is a collection of nearly 100 of his best poems, including "Chicago," "Fog," "To a Contemporary Bunkshooter," "Masses," and "The Great Hunt," as well as other verses featuring themes like love, war, death, loneliness, immigrant life, and the beauty of nature.

  The Balcony - A Play

  Jean Genet

  A masterpiece of twentieth-century drama by the iconic author of Our Lady of the Flowers: “ingenious, intellectually exciting, and, yes, still quite shocking” (The New York Times).   In the midst of a city ravaged by violent rebellion, a brothel caters to the elaborate role-playing fantasies of men from all walks of life. A gas company worker pretends to be a bishop while, in the next room, another customer dons a judge’s robe to savor the erotic pleasures of meting out justice—and punishment. These perverse costumed masquerades parody the larger, more violent dramas of the outside world. But as the anarchic political struggle threatens to topple society, even the revolutionaries come to believe that illusions are preferable to reality.   A poet, novelist, playwright, and outlaw, Jean Genet helped define French existential theater of the mid-twentieth century. Deeply influential and widely acclaimed, Genet’s The Balcony presents an unrelentingly profound and critical reflection of contemporary society.

  Yoga is a poetry book about the different paths you can take to self realization and enlightenment. For those who are seeking the most aligned path to find their True Self. 
  This inspirational poetry book dives into the different yogic paths that lead to self realization and enlightenment. 
  Yoga The Science Of Self Realization is a poetry book about finding enlightenment through the practice of yoga. Yoga is the art and science of direct experience with the ONE that is infinite and eternal. By coming into union with the eternal source we learn to embody these qualities in our lives. 
  This book explores the three paths of yoga outlined in the Bhagavad Gita: jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge, bhakti yoga, the yoga of love, and karma yoga, the yoga of action. Any of these paths can lead one towards enlightenment, and they can also be used cohesively for faster spiritual growth. 
  When we come to know our true selves as energetic beings of light we will no longer be bound to the wheel of karma and the vagaries of the material world, this is true freedom. The highest goal of human life is to feel free. Anyone can find freedom through yoga and it makes no distinctions on age, gender, or religion, it is universal in it’s application. 
  Yoga helps you reach your infinite potential by helping you see the light within us all…

  St Georges Day - A Holiday in Verse

  The United States has July 4th, Ireland St Patrick’s Day and France Bastille Day. 
  Most Nations celebrate a particular day as ‘theirs’. That day is when they turn to themselves; to reflect on the past, to revel in the present and to look forward to the future. 
  For England 23rd April is St George’s Day. 
  St George, a hero from bygone days, who slays Dragons and pursues other mythic deeds, is part of childhood.  But for modern times, for modern Nations, a greater purpose is needed. 
  For England St George is best now described as a principle.  A small Nation grown large and respected for its brainpower, brawn and ingenuity and fighting for beliefs, misguidedly or not, that others can’t or won’t. 
  Of course England’s role has changed many times over the centuries but perhaps its basic tenets and desires haven’t.  Fair Play. A role for everyone on equal terms. Democracy.  Tolerance. A safe haven for those oppressed.  England ‘expects’ and sometimes succeeds.
