  Aristotle’s Poetics is the earliest-surviving work of dramatic theory and the first fully intact philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, the respected Greek sage offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (which the Greeks understood to literally mean "making"), examining its "first principles" and identifying its genres and basic elements, including what he terms drama-comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play–as well as lyric poetry, epic poetry, and iambic pentameter, which he always associates with wit.

  A collection of poems inspired by a time of uncertainty, purpose, youth and question.These poems were mostly written in 1989 while living in Oxford. A very small number of them were done in 1990, just as I moved to London. I had been through a difficult couple of years, but life was starting to look up again. I was on the dole, waiting to become a rock star. London seemed like the right choice, and I was done trying to make Oxford work out for me.Hazy futureI'm not sure that I know anymore,just what’s fair, what's right at all.There's a long way to go on this open road,at the mercy of all the world may throw.I'm not sure that I feel anymore.When my home is gone in misty stories,my body is broken by men I don't know.Sometimes I feel like a puppet, in a loser’s show.I'm not sure of what I do anymore,though I've been avoiding it for so long.The reason’s lost, why I go on.Can I build it back, when I keep getting it wrong?Hazy future, yeah, it looks like another misty dawn.I salute you - all those who carry on.When the bed you lie on, isn't your own,and the life you live is no longer normal.

  Many giants of Literature originate from the shores of these emerald isles;  Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer, The Brontes and Austen to which most people would willingly add the name Thomas Hardy.   Far From The Madding Crowd, Tess Of The D’Urbervilles, The Mayor Of Casterbridge are but three of his literary masterpieces.  But let us go further and add to his canon his Poems.  Hardy himself thought he was a poet who wrote novels purely for the money. Indeed his poems were not published until he was in his fifties after his major novels were published and his reputation set.   Today his poetry is more rightly regarded in its own right.  These poems are ready for you by James Taylor, Gideon Wagner, Richard Mitchley, Tim Graham and Ghizela Rowe.

  The Iliad is an epic Greek poem written by philosopher Homer, and is considered one of the oldest pieces of western literature still in existence. The story takes place during the last weeks of the ten year Trojan War, with a focus on the quarrels between King Agamemnon and the legendary warrior Achilles. However, this tale's most famous scene is when the Greek's give a gift to the Trojans of a large wooden horse, but one that is filled with soldiers, that allows the Greeks to infiltrate the high walls of the city of Troy. Many Scholars believe the Iliad was originally composed in an oral tradition, intended to be heard, not read, making this epic classic a must have for audiobook listeners!
