Sinossi

The Works of William Cowper is a compendium that showcases the evolution of Cowper's poetic thought, marked by both his personal struggles and the broader social issues of his time. Through a rich tapestry of verse, letters, and prose, Cowper explores themes of nature, faith, and the human condition, often imbued with a profound sense of melancholy and introspection. His literary style combines classical influences with a distinctly personal voice, reflecting the transitional nature of 18th-century poetry as it moved towards Romanticism, engaging readers with its emotional depth and striking imagery. William Cowper, a central figure in the landscape of English literature, battled profound mental health issues throughout his life, which deeply influenced his writing. Growing up in an era that combined Enlightenment rationalism with burgeoning Romantic sensibilities, Cowper was intimately aware of the tensions between reason and emotion, crafting works that resonate with vulnerability and authenticity. His faith journey, punctuated by crises and a deep reliance on divine grace, lends a spiritual dimension to his poetry that captivates readers and invites reflection. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of the human psyche will find The Works of William Cowper both enriching and transformative. Cowper's mastery of language and profound contemplation of life's complexities render this collection not just a literary endeavor but a journey into the depths of the soul. This volume is essential for those looking to understand the interplay of faith and doubt, nature and humanity, in the context of both personal and societal struggles.

    The subject of Menopause is just beginning to break the barrier of taboo, and become a mainstream discussion point, but that discussion has until now been very serious, medical, and, we would argue, heterosexual and white. This anthology of poems and short fiction aims to address that, with wild and wonderful writing from humour and anger, relief and distress, by women who have experienced menopause, whether naturally or as a result of surgery; with a healthy dose of views from the global majority and the lesbian, bisexual and trans communities.

    "Poetry for people who hate reading poems." 
This book of poetry explores the divide between urban and rural America from the perspective of someone who has lived in and loved both. It is for anyone who has experienced the dissonance of feeling at home in two very different places at once, or who has felt caught in between cultures, ideologies, religions, morals, values, or ideas.

    Building Bridges

    Building Bridges is set in 1965 in Anderston, Glasgow and examines the reaction of deserted husband, Billy Speirs, and his family to the return of his estranged wife, Bernie, whose mother has been taken seriously ill.  
It is a tale of bitterness, betrayal, and the absolute enduring strength of love when a community was sliced up to make way for a stretch of inner city motorway and the Glasgow Kingston Bridge. Just as the earmarking of Anderston as a Glasgow Comprehensive Development Area faced mixed reactions, the couple’s tentative and nervous steps back to one another faced opposition and difficulty and like the opinion of much of the community at that time, it was clear that things were never going to be the same again.  
The heart was getting ripped out of the place, just as it had been ripped out of Billy. Decisions have to be made, loyalties examined, and painful truths faced. Better days were coming, however, in the promise of new corporation housing, and it is against this backdrop of demolition and renewal that Building Bridges opens.
