Download or read book Masquerade Love Loss and all the Dross written by Gloria Bradley and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masquerade – Love, Loss and all the Dross, a follow up to Gloria Bradley’s debut poetry collection Shadowlands – Mind, Mood and Memory is an expression of love and loss, of angst and ecstasy, experienced in the daily dramas that colour our emotional lives; of hopes and dreams submerged beneath a veil of armour, a mask we use to obscure our inner truths, fears and insecurities. Throughout this anthology, hopefully the reader will recognise and connect with the writer’s sentiments and observations. The rhymes interspersed between the more sombre subjects are meant to amuse, as a gentle reminder that we’re simply human in a world of fear and chaos, but one where love survives – dancing in the masquerade.
Download or read book The Devil Gets Lonely Too written by Thomas R. Langton and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devil Gets Lonely Too is the debut collection of poetry by Thomas R. Langton. Containing a wide range of themes, the book offers everything from hope to despair in an exploration of the darker side of life. ‘Wrap me in darkness sweetheart Darkness is my shroud The black calls to me’ Using a colloquial style, Thomas writes a succinct collection with poems about happiness, depression and the monotony of everyday life. This work explores more serious subject matter, including bringing light to deeper issues such as anxiety and suicide. Themes range from love and lust to happiness, heartache and depression, and explore issues such as anxiety and suicide. Thomas punctuates his poetry with references to biblical and historical figures to help illustrate his writing. A dark, twisted and at times sobering read, The Devil Gets Lonely Too takes inspiration from the work of Charles Bukowski and George Orwell, and from the music of Patti Smith. Thomas’ book stems from a lifelong passion for writing and a love of gritty literature. The book will appeal to fans of poetry, especially those that enjoy mature and honest literature.
Download or read book The Most Hated Man in the World written by Andreas Stavrinides and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and poignant poetry collection which with raw honesty, seeks to tell the truth. The poems are insolent, funny and clever. They are also compassionate and kind. The collection wants its readers to think, to question, to be daring. There are poems about God and poems about man, there are poems about death and poems about truth, poems of sorrow, and poems about how we should live. It sneers at the pompous and self-important, at those who think they have an innate right to be in charge and who hate to be questioned. “So easy it would be to lose myself in despair of mankind,The vile and ceaseless hypocrite, with its mafias, gangsterGovernments and insufferable religions. Man was born inChains, captured in a social concrete that rarely softens.” – ‘When I Think Of Giving Up.'

Download or read book The Loneliness of Being written by Gary Randolph Stimson and published by Troubador Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Loneliness of Being is as much a diary in verse form as it is a collection of poems; hence the chronological approach. Most of these poems I have written have been either under the influence of my favourite tipple: beer, or under the influence of existentialism, or both. As a student, I studied existentialism through the works of Sartre, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, Husserl, etc. This influence seems to have struck a deep chord with me as I have been left with the great desire to make sense of individual existence and how we deal with concepts such as choice and freedom; how we define our own meanings in this gorgeously rational and irrational universe we live in. The loneliness I refer to in the title of this collection is not so much pertaining to that state of being alone, as in feeling lonely, but more connected to the existentialist idea of nothingness: living with absence as an experienced reality. There are, of course, many other influences that come to bare on life: loved-ones, family, friends, places, time and memory. And, of course, God: Who, what, why and where is He? She? It? Not a noun, even? Maybe a verb: Being? Existence? So, threading through most of the collection is the theme of existence in its most questioning sense. How it questions us as well as how we question it. It asks of life, society, religion, thinking, even, that big question: Why? But also, how wonderful! Although at times serious and cynical, at other times it is mocking and funny. The five decades it covers shows the poet as thoughtful and introspective but also as uncommonly human and humorous.

Download or read book The State written by Anthony De Jasay and published by Collected Papers of Anthony de. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State is a brilliant analysis of some of the fundamental issues of modern political thought from the perspective, not of individuals or subjects, but of the state itself. The author poses the query, "What would you do if you were the state?" The state usually is understood as an instrument, not a personality, and it is presumed to exist so that people can achieve their common ends. However, Jasay asks, what if we suppose the state to have a will and ends of its own? To answer these questions, the author traces the logical and historical progression of the state from a modest-sized protector of life and property through its development into an "agile seducer of democratic majorities, to the welfare-dispensing drudge that it is in many countries today ... Is the rational next step a totalitarian enhancement of its power?" The State presents what has been termed "a disturbingly logical 'agenda' for the state in pursuit of its 'self-fulfillment.'"--Inside jacket flap.

Download or read book Motherhood written by Lisa Marchiano, LCSW, NCPsyA and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join a respected Jungian analyst for a deep dive into the emotional and symbolic journey of motherhood. Motherhood is the true hero’s journey—which is to say that it can be as harrowing as it is joyful, and enlightening as it is exhausting. For Jungian psychoanalyst Lisa Marchiano, this journey is not just an adventure of diaper bags and parent-teacher conferences, but one of intense self-discovery. In Motherhood, Marchiano draws from a deep well of Jungian analysis and symbolic research to present a collection of fairy tales, myths, and fables that evoke the spiritual arc of raising a child from infancy through adulthood. After all, this kind of storytelling has always been one of the most important conduits of humanity’s collective wisdom—and Marchiano provides each tale alongside keen insights into the timeless archetypes they represent. Balanced with real-life case stories from Lisa’s own practice and in-depth questions for personal reflection, Motherhood explores how events like pregnancy, the calamities of childhood, and the empty-nest experience are invitations to an adventure into the wild frontier of your own soul. Here you will discover: • How the challenges of motherhood send you on journeys into your innermost source • Seeing the value of conflict with your child even while working to solve it • “The dark passage” of confronting and dispelling the energy of childhood wounds • “The thirteenth fairy”—how to recognize when we are resisting inconvenient or uncomfortable truths • Understanding how anger, rage, and aggression arise in parental relationships • Recognizing the ways that you have been taught to ignore your deepest instincts • How to navigate the inevitable periods of grief that accompany your child’s many life changes • Why much of successful mothering requires surrendering your sense of control With Lisa’s gentle but straightforward guidance, you’ll return from this inner journey in possession of the treasured knowledge needed to clarify your values, embrace your disowned parts, and claim the mantle of motherhood in the full bloom of your empowerment.
