  In River of Rhyme, Roger Blakiston goes deeply into his quest for the meaning of life and connection to source. His inspirational poetry spans a wide variety of topics. He takes you on an exciting and enchanting journey into magical worlds, some fantasy, and others very real. You will encounter mystical realms of Angels, Wizards, Mermaids, Fairies, Elves, and Gnomes, as well as discover your own inner light that may have remained dormant for a while. 
  Some of his poems are in storybook form and frequently contain spiritual messages between the lines. The aim with his poetry is to inspire his listeners to think outside the box and be left with a positive feeling that, despite any darkness that may appear to be happening in their lives, there is always hope as they journey forward. His wish is to assure them that beyond the veil there is a passage to a place of peace, love, and joy. 
  He believes that River of Rhyme, his fifth book, is his most profound, powerful, and life-changing book to date. Roger is a trained actor and professional magician, with a soothing, theatrical British voice.

  What The House Taught Us - Poems

  Anne Bailey

  You never know how things really are in other people's families, in other people's homes. There's the public face and the private truths – the personal griefs and tragedies, whether festering or resting in peace. In her wry, engagingly strange poems, Anne Bailey takes the door off the latch and lets us inside.
  She shows us loss and disappointment, as well as hardness and resilience, particularly through the eyes of a daughter, wife and mother. We see the domestic sphere in such close-up detail that it becomes bizarre, an uncanny dimension that nonetheless rings horribly, weirdly true.
  "So you've put a picture on the lovely blank wall
  
  that used to go pink in the sun
  
  and feel like an ice cream.
  
  A wall on which I used to rest my eyes
  
  in pleasant contemplation."
  
  - from 'Domestic'

  – Every man for himself.
  – I'd say we're better off sticking together.
  In a mysterious dystopia, against a backdrop of war, a life raft filled with children is adrift at sea – their passenger liner sunk by an unknown and unseen enemy.
  As darkness falls and their rations dwindle, fear, superstition and madness start to take hold. Hours turn into days, and it becomes clear that not all of them will make it back to dry land alive...
  Life Raft is a thrilling contemporary adaptation of The Raft of the Medusa, Georg Kaiser's 1945 play, written during his exile from Nazi Germany, and inspired by a terrifying true story.
  Written by Fin Kennedy in collaboration with Bristol Old Vic's acclaimed Young Company, and originally performed by them under the direction of Melly Still, this large-cast play for young actors is a dark study in the psychology of survival – and an urgent allegory for our times.
  This definitive edition of the play is accompanied by a series of interactive games specially created by award-winning games designer Tassos Stevens, allowing young people a deeper exploration of the play's themes, and the opportunity to create their own new stories inspired by the scenario.

  Emotions felt to the bone

  Emotions. They drive us forward, striving to achieve the unthinkable. 
  But they can also drag us down, tear us apart, and leave us unwilling to barely lift our heads. 
  Well, I've experienced both sides of this spectrum. And in my first-ever full-length audiobook, Emotions Felt to the Bone, I share these journeys with you in the form of poetry. 
  Some are joyful; others are harrowing. Some evoke humor, and others, hopelessness. 
  Writing and narrating this compilation of poetry has been one of the better emotional experiences in my life. And I want nothing more than to share it with you.

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
  In this volume we explore those playwrights who within a few lines could turn and express their words as very distinguished verse and so become as known for poetry as were for their plays.

  Diary of an Old Soul - Annotated...

  "Be thou the well by which I lie and rest;
  
  Be thou my tree of life, my garden ground;
  
  Be thou my home, my fire, my chamber blest,
  
  My book of wisdom, loved of all the best;
  
  Oh, be my friend, each day still newer found,
  
  As the eternal days and nights go round!
  
  Nay, nay—thou art my God, in whom all loves are bound!"
  In 1880, the prolific author George MacDonald self-published a long poem in book form as a gift for his friends. He called it, in full, A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul. It contained a new seven-line stanza for each day of the calendar year, written as prayers expressing MacDonald's longings, struggles, and joys in everyday life.
  The Diary was originally printed with a blank page facing every page of poetry so that readers could supplement MacDonald's diary with their own. This feature in particular, along with the spiritual wisdom and literary artistry of the text itself, was beloved by C. S. Lewis, who gave a copy of the book to his future wife, Joy Davidman, as a Christmas gift in 1952.
  Now in this deluxe edition, MacDonald's classic devotional resource is again available with the blank pages he envisioned alongside the complete text. With a new introduction and explanatory notes by historian Timothy Larsen, the beloved writer's prayers find new life for enthusiasts and first-time readers alike.
  
  - Complete text of MacDonald's classic work—one poem for each day of the year
  - Thoughtful layout with a blank page for journaling opposite each poem
  - Introduction and annotations by historian Timothy Larsen
  - Deluxe features including cloth binding and bookmark ribbon
