  The Don't Touch Garden explores what it is to be adopted, both for the child and the adoptive parents, through a wide range of poetic styles and complex emotions.
  An absorbing account of the legacy of being an adopted child. Forthright and tender, this moving sequence reflects Foley's unflinching gaze into the mirror in a sometimes excoriating attempt to discern traces of her belonging, and to make peace with the past.
  
  Joy Howard, Poet, publisher and former Fostering Services Manager

  "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.

  Christina Georgina Rossetti – An Introduction. Christina was born in London in 1830 one of four children who were all to become artists and writers.  Educated at home, her life was filled with the Italian influences of her Father and the wide ranging interests of her mother.  She began to write at age 12 as her Fathers health broke and the family’s descended to near poverty.  She first published aged 18 and over the following decade her writing was to flourish and in 1860 her most famous work Goblin Market was released and her reputation was set.  A sufferer from Graves disease from the 1870’s she also developed breast cancer which subsequently recurred and was to cause her death in 1894.  She is buried in Highgate Cemetery.

  A child is born and everything is made anew. In this blur of new beginnings there are tears and laughter, new words and new silences: this is an unmaking and remaking of the self.
  From short stories about unnerved fathers and lost mothers, to poems about 'half-built Lego palaces' and friends who share their deepest secrets, Blood & Cord is a raw exploration of new parenthood. Voicing silenced conversations about loss, grief, and loneliness, as well as the joys and laughter that are part and parcel of becoming a parent, the stories told within offer a refreshingly honest account of life after new life.
  This collection is a hand in the dark, offering comfort and solidarity to any new parent.

  The Lovers

  Emily Dickinson

  LibriVox volunteers bring you 27 recordings of The Lovers by Emily Dickinson. This was the Weekly Poetry project for May 27, 2012.The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called "the Poetry of the Portfolio,"—something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and the unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was absolutely no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without setting her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a very few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print, during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiously indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness. (Summary from the Preface of Poems by Emily Dickinson )

  New and Selected Poems

  'His is "close-up" poetry - close up to thought, to the world, to the  emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the  sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does.' John Banville  'More than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand  that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of.' John  Carey 'Heaney's voice, by turns mythological and journalistic,  rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding,  curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness  itself.' Helen Vendler
