Beschreibung

In "The Phoenix and the Turtle," William Shakespeare presents a profound reflection on love, death, and the transcendent power of purity. This poem, consisting of a series of rich allegories, explores the symbolic union of the mythical Phoenix and the moralistic Turtle Dove, embodying the ideals of eternal love and fidelity. Composed in a lyrical and evocative style, the work holds a place within the context of the Renaissance, where humanist themes and classical references flourished, allowing Shakespeare to delve into philosophical and metaphysical inquiries related to the nature of beauty and truth in love amidst a changing social landscape. William Shakespeare (1564-1616), a towering figure of English literature, drew upon his extensive experiences in theater, poetry, and the cultural vibrant milieu of Elizabethan England. His fascination with the complexity of human emotions and relationships is evident throughout his oeuvre. "The Phoenix and the Turtle," written in 1601, is a remarkable testament to his ability to distill profound concepts into accessible verse, showcasing themes of idealism and spiritual union while reflecting the cultural tensions of his time. This exquisite poem is highly recommended for readers who seek to explore the depths of love and the intricacies of human connection. With its strong symbolic resonance and lyrical beauty, "The Phoenix and the Turtle" invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of love and loss, making it a timeless piece worthy of study and appreciation.

    "Chattering at School" is a series of animal poems that invites the reader to learn and marvel at all the wonders of the natural world. The poems include fun narratives on the surface, while containing learning and teaching moments as the poems unfold. The book has lovely illustrations and is full of moral lessons.The introduction to "Chattering at School:  Nature poems for children" explains that these poems were written by a schoolboy aged 11 to 18 (1951-58) during his annual summer holiday visits to his grandmother on her small farm in Ireland. She had been his carer and guardian from the time of the German Blitz of London where he was born, and lived with her until the war ended in 1945. He then returned to his unknown parents, who had been unable to visit him in Ireland from the UK during the war.Over 60 years later, the author of these poems - Edward Forde Hickey - discovered them (his own schoolboy attempts at writing poetry) lying in the attic and felt they were worth recording publicly.

    Blackbird Singing at Dusk by Wendy Pratt is an illuminating and lyrical exploration of place within nature; of Northern rural working-class lives, the female body, and of the ancestors and history still close to the surface, just beneath where our feet touch the earth. Moving through both landscapes and human lives, these poems weigh the impact of loss and consider the circular, deep nature of time itself; how lifetimes can be measured – whether in jackdaw, beech tree or even glacier time.
    From the silent sentinels of boulders to peels of birdsong "stopping the world", Wendy Pratt's archaeological attention to detail draws us into an intimate elegy, mindful of the connections of earth and people, the living and the dead. The wide horizons of her poems weave the heartbeat of working days and the rich inheritances of love in scribbled notes and domestic prayers – all that remains behind long after, marking us with grief for a lost parent or a baby daughter. These remarkable poems of solace consider what it is to endure and find reassurance in a rural land "quartered by barn owls and kestrels," with its ever-shifting seasons and skies, its permanence of stone and soil.
