Sinopse

"Specimens with Memoirs of the Less-known British Poets, Complete" is a compelling anthology that delves into the works of British poets who, despite their rich contributions to the literary landscape, have largely remained overshadowed by their more illustrious contemporaries. The collection features a rich tapestry of poetic forms and themes, revealing a diverse array of voices and styles, from the Romantic reveries to the early Victorian sentimentality. The editors provide insightful memoirs that contextualize the poets' lives and works within the broader trajectory of British literature, thus offering a richly layered reading experience that invites both emotional engagement and intellectual inquiry. The anthology is curated by various literary figures who share a passion for unearthing hidden gems within the British poetic canon. Their dedication to shedding light on lesser-known poets not only rescues these voices from obscurity but also reflects a broader movement within literary studies that seeks to reevaluate cultural narratives. This undertaking is inspired by the belief that every poet, regardless of fame, contributes uniquely to the richness of literary traditions. For readers seeking to enrich their understanding of British poetry, this anthology is an essential resource. It serves not only as an introduction to lesser-known poets but also as a testament to the enduring power of poetry to capture the complexities of human experience. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or a curious newcomer, this collection will deepen your appreciation for the diverse tapestry of voices that form the backbone of British literature.

    A Haunting short horror story Excerpt: Walking up the golden stairs, with clouds on either side. All my burdens lifted, then, I heard a sob behind. The gates of heaven opened, I stop, I turn, I sigh. From my lips comes a moan, as tears fall from her eyes. Heaven would become my Hell if I walk through those gates. I cannot leave my love behind, forever we are mates. 
    Come walk with me through this terrifying journey of "MY Hell." There has never been a story written like this before. This short story takes about an hour to read. Enjoy

    Award-winning author Verlyn Flieger takes readers through a series of insightful short stories exploring tragic aspects of human nature. A few of the tales are dark, others a bit lighter, but all celebrate the creativity of storytelling. The second part of the book is a collection of new poetry unearthing the wonders of language, the mundane, and grief and mourning as part of life—the dark spot within the light. Death is the inevitable, inescapable result of mortality, and grief is the price the living pay for that condition. Readers are invited to join in the journey, take some comfort in the knowledge of shared darkness, and know that even within the dark moments, there is always at least a speck of splintered light.
