Ireton a Poem

Thomas Bailey

Sinopse

In "Ireton, a Poem," Thomas Bailey embarks on a deep exploration of the historical and political nuances surrounding the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. The poem stands out for its rich imagery and emotive language, inviting readers to experience the fervor of revolutionary fervor and the moral complexities faced by its protagonists. Bailey's narrative style is characterized by a blend of lyrical expression and keen philosophical insight, reflecting his engagement with Romantic ideals while threading in historical realism. Thomas Bailey was a poet deeply influenced by the socio-political landscape of his time, as well as by the Romantic movement that sought to reconcile human passion with historical reality. His background in literature and history affords him a unique perspective on the events that shape human experience, particularly in relation to themes of justice and individual agency. This context enriches "Ireton" and underscores the author's dedication to articulating the struggles of his characters through a historically informed lens. Readers of both poetry and history will find "Ireton, a Poem" to be an invaluable addition to their collections, offering a profound interpretation of the human condition during a formative moment in British history. Bailey's masterful command of language and his ability to evoke emotion make this work essential for anyone interested in the interplay of history and poetic expression.

Stories to Share With My Partner...

J. F. Nodar

An anthology of stories can be a fun thing or a scary one. 
Deciding what goes into an anthology can be daunting. Too much romance and some folks may decide it is ‘too mushy’. Put too much humour in, and others will say, ‘there is no substance’. Go with more science fiction, or fantasy, or horror, and you will have some folks just not pick up the book. 
Finding the perfect ‘mix’ is a challenge for sure. 
‘Stories to Share with My Partner – Book 3’ presents what I hope is a good mix of stories and poetry to make everyone happy. 
You have some love stories, ‘The Red Bug’ and the ‘The Coat’, for example, while science fiction is covered in ‘When the Future Arrives’ and ‘Coordinates’. 
Funny stories are what I enjoy writing about, and there are few in this book. 
‘So That Is When the Fight Started’ is something many can relate too and in ‘Jerk’ I take a different approach to ‘superheroes’. 
I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did when I wrote them. 
As always, any comments are welcome, so shoot me a quick email to info@jfnodar.com.au

For the Marriage of Faustus and...

Hart Crane

Harold Hart Crane was born on the 21st July 1899 in Garrettsville, Ohio.
Crane was drawn to literature at an early age, becoming a voracious reader and pursuing self-education rather than attach himself to a more formal college education, although he did attend East High School in 1913. His developing love of poetry was nurtured with the works of the English Romantics and the French Symbolists, as well as near contemporary American poets.
Much of his youth was spent shuttling between Cleveland and New York as his parents’ marriage descended into continuing conflict before they separated with Crane still in his teens. Shortly after Crane attempted to enlist in the U S Military but was rejected for being a minor.
His first published poem also came in 1917 with ‘C33’ and its reference to the cell number that Oscar Wilde was incarcerated in.
Crane now centred more of his time in New York and immersed himself in the vibrant artistic scene of Greenwich Village. Alongside this he dabbled in various jobs to support himself, including copywriting and work in a munitions factory, as he continued to develop his ambitions for a poetic career.
His early work was already being noticed for its lush and rich use of words and by the time ‘White Buildings’ was published in 1926 he was being critically acclaimed.
Despite this success his personal life was troubled. It was both nourishing his work and fuelling complex patterns of despair as he sought to establish his identity. In a time when homosexuality was openly condemned his openly gay attitude sat uneasily as he pursued relationships that were both intense and emotionally fraught.
His acclaimed work ‘The Bridge’ in 1930 was both ambitious and a foundation stone for new American poetry. Against this his battles with depression and alcoholism were being lost.
Hart Crane died on the 27th April 1932 by jumping from the deck of a steamship into the Gulf of Mexico upon his return to the United States from Mexico. He was 32.
