  Sometimes we just want the best.  But that involves choices, judgements, decisions. And that all depends on our feelings, our mood at the time. 
  Even more so with Poetry.  Would we like a little more pathos, or love, or humour with that? Can we only choose one Keats?  And ’If’? Surely Kipling wrote something else? 
  So difficult to decide. This one or that?  Is it easier to choose your fifty favourite poets or your fifty favourite poems? 
  The argument can go on forever, certainly a few days.  However what we can all agree on is that poets have a way with words that almost all of us respect and admire and can’t compete with.  Who hasn’t wanted to quote some favourite lines to make a better point? 
  In this volume we made those choices, judgements and decisions for you.      
  Some you will love. Maybe not today but tomorrow. Others may not initially be your cup of tea.  But they will all make you think and bring you closer to something..…or someone. 
   This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Gibran’s book follows the final hours of the prophet Almustafa as he prepares to depart the city of Orphalese, offering distilled reflections on the fundamental forces of human existence—love, work, joy, sorrow, freedom, self-knowledge, and death. Each teaching arises from direct insight rather than doctrine, presenting life as an interwoven field of opposites whose tensions refine the soul. The text unfolds as a sequence of poetic addresses that cut through sentiment and moralism, pointing the reader toward inward clarity and responsibility.

  This mirror's selfie-proof, a machine that dams back the gloom.
    After a brief period of mourning, it was the afternoon.
    This mirror is selfie-proof, a machine that dams
    back the gloom. When machines dream they dream
    of stopping. But this bulimic is all hangnails
    with a hankering to throatsing.
    
    
    
    Following the Fratellini Family of clowns, Jeramy Dodds astonishes readers
    and non-readers alike. Techniques such as his patented triumph, the Grand
     Mal Caesura, along with other favourites, are on display inside. Dodds is a warlock of words, only to be outdone by them, enslaved by them, freed by them - maybe even loved by them. A haunting, yet hilarious depiction of a journey to and fro the furthest limits of the human experiment.
