    Come  and marvel at how life at large can be encapsulated into a microcosm in  the form of poetic license.  Let this book be your companion when seeking to have some me-time and to chill out in your own chosen surroundings. 
     
    Or,  discuss Mallory’s poems in more depth with others. Poetry can truly dazzle and serves as an equal alternative to the excitement of reading novels. 
     
    The  beauty of poetry is the choice given to read any extract to another appropriate age group that can introduce them into this wonderful genre of literature. Similar  to music, the titles stay with the reader and will, in virtual speak, stamp its date and location to induce its messages across the wide spectrum of what everyone likes to imagine or likes to encounter. 
     
    Poetry is the perfect treat or gift for anyone who would like to travel on a magic carpet away from the madding crowd. Soothe yourself instead - in contrast to an edge of seat thriller novel or film. 
     
    Enjoy!

    Shakespeare's Greatest...

    William Shakespeare, long hailed as the history's greatest dramatic writer, has been lauded for his mastery of poetic expression, his insight into the human condition and his deep exploration into the psyche and motivations of his characters. These skills are perhaps best exemplified in the monologues he gives his various protagonists, villains and bit players.   From King Henry V's inspiring speech to his soldiers on the field of Agincourt to the villainous Merchant of Venice Shylock defending his own cruelty, to the shepherdess Phebe from "As You Like It" grappling with her sudden attraction to a young courtier, to Nick Bottom from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," awaking from the strangest dream in history, Shakespeare's monologues are short distillations of his larger themes - love and loss, fairness and inequity, power and envy, lust and purity.   Fort Raphael Publishing is proud to present - in this complete volume - the best of Shakespeare's greatest monologues, each of which captures a shining, brilliant moment from his plays that gives us a deeper understanding of each character, whether flattering, damning or inspiring.   Enjoy this collection of monologues from the greatest theatrical writer in the English language - William Shakespeare - performed by some of the finest classical actors in the business.

    Hail, The Invisible Watchman is haunted poetry—Oliver’s formal schemes are as tidy as a picket-fence and as suggestive; behind the charm of rhyme is a vibrant, dark exploration of domestic and social alienation.
    		 
    The poems in Hail, the Invisible Watchman are as tidy as a picket-fence—and as suggestive. Behind the charms of iambs lurks a dark exploration of domestic and social alienation. Metered rhyme sets the tone like a chilling piano score as insidiousness creeps into the neighbourhood. A spectral narrator surveils social gatherings in the town of Sherbet Lake; community members chime in, each revealing their various troubles and hypocrisies; an eerie reimagining of an Ethel Wilson novel follows a young woman into a taboo friendship with an enigmatic divorcée. In taut poetic structures across three succinct sections, Alexandra Oliver’s conflation of the mundane and the phantasmagoric produces a scintillating portrait of the suburban uncanny.

    This Poem is Titled 'Beauty of the Human Form.  ::  
    It is a poem about the never ending fascination of People with the Human body. 
    Some might say, its in our DNA. That maybe so.  
    The Greeks knew how to display it, as both eroticism and as an Art form. 
    Showing both sexes in the 'Perfect' perfection of Beauty! 
    Unfortunately; the human form, especially the female human form has been in the last few decades 
    since the new renaissance or as we call the sexual revolution or as is now the 'free society'. 
    Denigrated to an object not of art but purely of desire, or descended into the more pornographic exploitive realms of decor art. 
    *NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. * As for all his poems & s/stories.* 
    *Just the purity of thought of the Author.
