Beschreibung

In "The Dread Voyage: Poems," Wilfred Campbell intricately weaves a tapestry of maritime themes and existential inquiries through potent, lyrical verse. This collection presents a series of poems reflecting both the physical and metaphorical journey of sailors braving treacherous waters, an apt metaphor for the human condition itself. Campbell employs vivid imagery and rich symbolism, engaging with Romantic and Symbolist literary traditions, while also echoing the influence of American transcendentalism in his contemplations of nature and the self amid the challenges of life. Wilfred Campbell, a significant figure in Canadian poetry, drew inspiration from his own experiences and the rich landscapes of his homeland. Born in 1858, his upbringing during an era of burgeoning national identity fueled his explorations of Canadian themes in literature. Campbell's multifaceted career as a poet, journalist, and civil servant provided a profound understanding of the societal currents of his time, which he adeptly reflects in this work. His commitment to evoking a distinctly Canadian voice enriches the poems, inviting readers to ponder their own journeys. Readers seeking an evocative and reflective exploration of the human spirit will find great value in Campbell's "The Dread Voyage." This compelling collection serves as a reminder that life's tumultuous seas, while fraught with peril, lead to personal growth and discovery. New and seasoned poetry enthusiasts alike will appreciate Campbell's masterful command of language and his ability to convey deep emotional truths.

    The Soul´s Journey Home is a collection of poems borne out of a spiritual journey brought about due to the pandemic a few years ago. The resulting awakening provided me with the answers to many questions I was unsure about with regards to faith and spirituality and the discovery can have widespread benefits within every aspect of a persons life. The purpose of my poetry is to encourage curiosity within the reader and convey how our answers are well within our reach and closer than we might have imagined.

    Five insomniacs try to make it through the night. From dusk to dawn, they struggle with a crisis in their lives which they must resolve by morning. Increasingly conscious of their shortening futures and lengthening pasts, they fill their nights with distracting activities, desperate sleep techniques, evaluations of their lives, delusions, fears, panics and utter foolishness as they prepare to face the day.
    Five Characters in Search of a Good Night's Sleep was first performed by ViSiBLE Theatre Ensemble at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2022, in a production directed by Mike Alfreds. It was devised and written by Mike Alfreds with Sonja Linden and members of the company.
    ViSiBLE is a theatre company dedicated to creating performance work that throws fresh perspectives on later life and living longer. A key aspect of its identity is creating work collaboratively, drawing on the creativity and talent of Britain's huge wealth of experienced older actors.

    Enjoy this captivating journey into the life and poetry of Robert Frost, as his dear friend and farmhand, Carl Burell, shares stories about Rob with the people of Derry, New Hampshire at the Derry Centennial Celebration of 1927. 
    This fictional reenactment provides an enlightening and entertaining look inside the early years of Robert Frost through the eyes of his childhood friend, farming mentor and hired hand. Carl’s intimate view provides a unique perspective on Frost’s life as a novice farmer among the people of Derry, whom Frost freely appropriated in much of his poetry. As he reflects, Carl muses on his own appearance in some of Frost’s poems, and the manner in which the poet transformed his experiences on a hardscrabble New England farm into revered, monetized literature. Along the way, Carl also reads many of his favorite Frost poems, masterfully capturing the transcendent power of these enduring masterpieces in his native voice. 
    For lovers of poetry, Frost enthusiasts, teachers and students, The Rob I Knew is a unique and absorbing way to explore and appreciate one of our great American poets. 
    Eric Copenhaver, author and performer of this compelling audiobook, is a displaced New Hampshire native and lifelong Frost devotee—who is delighted to be channeling the colorful Carl Burell.
