  Edgar A Poe: The True Story of...

  “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 
  Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, 
  While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 
  As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 
  "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door - 
  Only this, and nothing more." 
   
  Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, 
  And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 
  Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had tried to borrow 
  From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - 
  For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore, 
  Nameless here for evermore.” 
   
  These are the first two verses of ‘The Raven’, a poem full of dark and disturbing images, rife with tension, fear, paranoia, terror and a yearning for a lost love that has returned to this earth as a ghost. As a poem ‘The Raven’ is without doubt more famous and widely known than the troubled author who penned it. His name was Edgar Allan Poe, and his work was directly responsible for shaping the modern horror industry as we know it. He was the Godfather of Gore, the Father of Fear, the Master of the Macabre, and the Guardian of the Gruesome. Poe was also one of the best mystery writers of all time, however the most fascinating puzzle he left us was that of his own life, and in this journal, we will follow in the great man’s footsteps to turn detective. 
   
  Edgar Allan Poe was born early in the 19th Century, yet still his legacy lives on. Throughout this celebration of his life and work, you’ll also get the opportunity to read extracts from his poetry and prose, some of which will be very familiar but just as terrifying all the same!

  Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Pamphlet Competition. In her second chapbook, And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson's delicate choice of words \'unlace restraint' and take us to the limits of the female body's potential.

  The Ramayanam, an itihasa of the highest order, is considered adi kavya, the first poem to have been composed. Written by Valm ki during Rama's time, and ratified by him, this timeless epic has been treated with utmost care by all acaryas in their famed commentaries. Since the advent of human civilization, it has inspired many poets and dramatists across the subcontinent and has been transcreated in almost all Bharat ya languages. Multiple layers of philosophy and theology are an embellishment to this classic. Its influence on Bharat ya music, dance, sculpture and textiles is unfathomable. 
  In this two-volume presentation, noted Vedic scholar Dushyanth Sridhar retells the Ramayanam as a conversation between Valmki and Narada. Infused with a dash of creativity that is accepted even by traditional scholars, and drawing upon interesting details from renowned and lesser-known works, this timeless epic has been recreated in a never-before manner. Furthermore, expressive sketches by eminent artist Keshav, and drawings of rare artefacts by Upasana add great value to this edition, making it the most trusted rendering of the Ramayanam for readers across all ages.
