Sinossi

The Elizabethan playwright, poet and satirist, Thomas Nashe was the author of ‘The Unfortunate Traveller’, the first picaresque novel of English literature. His masterpiece was ‘Pierce Penniless, His Supplication to the Divell’, a prose satire that was among the most popular of the Elizabethan pamphlets. Employing a free and extemporaneous prose style, full of colloquialisms, neologisms and fantastic idiosyncrasies, Nashe entertains the reader with a story in which immediate entertainment is favoured over narrative structure. Complex, witty and colourfully anecdotal, Nashe’s work is as brash and bitingly sharp today as when it was first penned over four centuries ago.  For the first time, this eBook presents Nashe’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, 
          Ere the sorrow comes with years ? 
    They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, — 
          And that cannot stop their tears.

    Unlock the power of the Indian accent and bring your characters to life with authenticity and confidence. Whether you're preparing for a specific role or expanding your range as an actor, mastering this accent can set you apart in auditions and on screen. This audio-based training guides you through every step, helping you sound natural, nuanced, and believable — without falling into stereotypes. 
    The course breaks down the unique sound patterns of Indian-accented English, teaching you how to shape vowels, soften consonants, and replicate the musical rhythm that defines the accent. You'll learn how regional languages influence speech, giving your delivery a natural flow that goes beyond surface imitation. With a focus on ear training and vocal drills, you'll fine-tune every sound while developing an instinct for the accent's melody and pacing. 
    This training is designed to help actors create rich, layered performances. You'll understand not only how the accent sounds, but why it sounds that way — from the influence of Indian language structure to the subtle shifts in emphasis and intonation. By connecting the accent to character and context, you'll avoid clichés and build performances that feel grounded and authentic. 
    Every lesson is crafted with actors in mind, combining technical precision with practical exercises. Dialogue practice helps you integrate the accent into performance, preparing you for auditions, rehearsals, and on-camera work. The flexible audio format fits easily into your daily routine, letting you learn at your own pace. 
    With the right training, an accent becomes a powerful tool for storytelling. Mastering the Indian accent will give you the confidence to step into any role and deliver performances that are both compelling and true to life.

Crews features new poems from popular writers such as Natalie Goldberg, Mark Nepo, Ted Kooser, Naomi Shihab Nye, Jane Hirshfield, and Jacqueline Suskin, along with selections from emerging poets. Readers are guided in exploring the meaning and essence of the poems through a series of reflective pauses scattered through the pages and reading group questions in the back.

    This book is a heartfelt mixture of spiritual and encouraging poetry. Some of the poems draw from my own life experiences, spanning from childhood to adulthood. I have poured warmth, love, and care into these words, with the intention of reaching people who may be struggling with depression or hardship. My hope is to point them toward their Creator, offering comfort and understanding. I want to remind readers that everyday disappointments are a natural part of life, but we will get through them and be just fine. 
    One of the poems, “What Is The Fabric of Your Love,” explores the love between a man and a woman, highlighting the deep emotional connections we as humans need in order to feel whole. Throughout the collection, I offer analogies and perspectives that encourage us to think about the world around us and our shared humanity. It is a call to show compassion and belief in humanity—something we often forget in the busyness of our lives. My poems aim to touch the psyche, shedding light on the things we are too busy to think about, but that we all experience in one way or another. I strive to keep the work relatable and touching, offering a message that can bring a smile to your face or inspire you to bless someone else with kindness. 
    One poem that is very dear to me is a tribute to Mr. Tyre Nichols, who tragically lost his life at the hands of police. The poem, titled “My Skateboard and Me,” is a heartfelt expression of grief and reflection. Another poem, “We All Begin and End with Each Other,” calls for greater unity and connection across ethnic lines, encouraging us to reach out to our neighbors, no matter their background. In “Who’s on Third,” I reflect on the time when we all must leave this earth, while “Banana Fritters Makes Me Smile” takes the reader on a nostalgic journey back to childhood memories.

    Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
     
    Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
     
    In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
     
    England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
     
    In this volume our poems come from the East Midlands in the centre of England. Once a vast manufacturing hub whose industries invented, created and exported the future to the entire world.  From its industry and grime came poets of the first rank including Alfred Lord Tennyson, D H Lawrence, Anne Bradstreet, John Dryden, John Clare and many others.
