The Top 50 Poems - Fifty of the...

Rudyard Kipling, Wilfred Owen,...

Sometimes we just want the best.  But that involves choices, judgements, decisions. And that all depends on our feelings, our mood at the time. 
Even more so with Poetry.  Would we like a little more pathos, or love, or humour with that? Can we only choose one Keats?  And ’If’? Surely Kipling wrote something else? 
So difficult to decide. This one or that?  Is it easier to choose your fifty favourite poets or your fifty favourite poems? 
The argument can go on forever, certainly a few days.  However what we can all agree on is that poets have a way with words that almost all of us respect and admire and can’t compete with.  Who hasn’t wanted to quote some favourite lines to make a better point? 
In this volume we made those choices, judgements and decisions for you.      
Some you will love. Maybe not today but tomorrow. Others may not initially be your cup of tea.  But they will all make you think and bring you closer to something..…or someone. 
 This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

parsetreeforestfire

Hamid Roslan

parsetreeforestfire is a bilingual book of poetry in which poems in Singlish occupy one side of the book, and poems in English on the other. Conventionally such a book functions as a way for a person to learn a new language, but it remains to be seen if translation has successfully occurred, or if the book even intends to teach any reader how to speak either language. Instead, if poetry is intense attention to language, then this book can be considered to be the product of such scrutiny on the languages the book is written in.

Two Billion Beats

Sonali Bhattacharyya

'The smaller you are, the quicker your heart beats. But it doesn't matter what size your heart is, we all only get an average of about two billion beats over our lifetime. It's just a pump at the end of the day, right?'
Seventeen-year-old Asha is a rebel, inspired by historical revolutionaries and unafraid of pointing out the hypocrisy around her – but less sure how to actually dismantle it. Her younger sister, Bettina, wide-eyed and naive, is just trying to get through the school day without having her pocket money nicked.
With essays to write, homework to do, and bus journeys home, the two sisters meet every afternoon, outside the school gates, to tackle the injustice of the world.
Sonali Bhattacharyya's play Two Billion Beats is an insightful, heartfelt coming-of-age story and a blazing account of inner-city, British-Asian teenage life. It was originally presented in the Inside/Outside season, livestreamed from the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, before receiving a production there in this full-length version in 2022, directed by Nimmo Ismail.

The Snow Storm

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The storm arrives, unbidden yet unstoppable, sculpting the world in reckless white. The north wind, a faceless mason, works without plan or patience—bastions rise, wreaths drape, roads vanish. No symmetry, no restraint, only the wild hand of winter shaping chaos into fleeting grandeur.
By dawn, the architect is gone. What remains is a frozen wonder, a masterpiece of whim and force, too perfect to last, too wild to be remade.

Disconnect - Chapter 6

Open Boundaries

Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in. In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside.
