  The Poetry of Hymns

  John Donne, James Thomson, Ann...

  Through the centuries in the solace of a church we hear music.  These soaring vaulted often beautiful pieces of architecture have borne witness to hymns that change our emotions and fortify our spirit through life, death and celebrations and memorials of every type in between.  Whether you are of a Christian faith or not, it is difficult to deny that these hymns create something stirring something magical which shouldn't be surprising when you hear the original poems.  They speak with clarity and purpose, uplifting the heart and the soul, rejoicing God’s work and man’s pledge to do better in His eyes.  But Hymns also have a wider duty to perform as there are many facets, themes and help on how to live lives as ourselves and appreciate each other as well as nature.  In listening each of us can be swayed and persuaded on a number of levels. 
   
  However many poets have called their work ‘a Hymn’ and have explored its theme and its definition, in different ways. They can be more irreverent and suggest that hymns can come not from churches but other places - even watermelon pavilions. 
   
  One of the purposes of poems, of verse, of words, is to bring a subject into our view, imbue it with a little understanding and perhaps help us to confirm our opinions or hear in a way we might not have originally thought of it.  Seeing and hearing through others can be a way to find more complex ripples of knowledge or to challenge what we hold and adjust that thinking. 
   
  In this volume we bring you a wide range of Hymns from the religious and the devotional to the humane and the wonderful.

  Melissa Bubnic's Beached is a darkly funny comedy about modern freak shows, love and cream buns. Loads of cream buns.
  Arty is the world's fattest teenager. At sixty-seven stone, he is a young man literally going nowhere.
  All that is set to change when a reality TV crew moves in to ruthlessly document Arty's supposed transformation from bedridden walrus to trousered sophisticate.
  But with the cameras rolling, something totally unexpected happens – Arty falls in love.
  Beached had its British premiere at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, in 2014 before transferring to Soho Theatre, London. It won the 2010 Patrick White Playwrights Award at the Sydney Writers' Festival.
  'Funny but thoughtful... a moving and sensitive exploration of extreme obesity' - The Stage
  'Touching and sensitive... a satisfyingly chewy four-hander' - Evening Standard
  'A very funny, recognisable and hugely entertaining play' - Daily Telegraph Australia

  With fifty new, original poems, Northern Moons emerges as a continuum to Rob Taylor’s previous books. The spiritually-based essence of Taylor’s poetry speaks to the layers of consciousness that compose our soul. Each line is constructed (regardless of content or perceived context) as an inspiration for the reader to engage in a mindfulness approach to understanding the dynamics and worth of human influence across the spectrum of creation. The outcome of that effort is a greater capacity for love of each other and eventually cultivating a “human” community.
