Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all of my poems are a result of observation as well as imagination but are not targeted to any specific age group, class or family member. Some will most certainly appeal to children, whereas others are of interest to adults. They will sometimes challenge popular moral or spiritual standards and beliefs, but they are definitely thought-provoking. These poems are different to many because they were not written to glorify words hard to understand. They are a result of my life experiences. I was born in the Welsh Valleys. I left school at 14 on a Friday, now in the Midlands, and started work immediately in a Brickworks the following morning at 6 a.m. The working week was 6 a.m. til 6 p.m.—half an hour for breakfast and half an hour for dinner. Saturdays were 6 a.m. until 12 noon. It amounted to a 63-hour working week for just a couple of coppers an hour! It was 1940 and the war was on. The experience of running away from home back to Wales at the age of 15 also encouraged pragmatism in my poems as well as quite a bit of humour. Reading ‘Under Milk Wood’ by Dylan Thomas was inspirational to me in grasping how words—simple words—can convey the complexities of life into realism. I have written poetry for more than 85 years, never with the idea of publishing, but friends of a variety of educational standards and stations in life have for years badgered me to do so. So now at the age of 97 with the help of my granddaughter, Madelyn, who has put the poems in order after editing and proofreading, plus taking the initiative to publish, they are now in print, otherwise remaining undiscovered. I am known as Pal to my family, and I am grateful for their help and encouragement. ~ A. Taylor

Download or read book The Marlowe Papers written by Ros Barber and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2013 Desmond Elliott Prize Longlisted for the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction You're the author of the greatest plays of all time. But nobody knows. And if it gets out, you're dead. On May 30, 1593, a celebrated young playwright was killed in a tavern brawl in London. That, at least, was the official version. Now Christopher Marlowe reveals the truth: that his "death" was an elaborate ruse to avoid a conviction of heresy; that he was spirited across the English Channel to live on in lonely exile; that he continued to write plays and poetry, hiding behind the name of a colorless man from Stratford—one William Shakespeare. With the grip of a thriller and the emotional force of a sonnet, this remarkable novel in verse gives voice to a man who was brilliant, passionate, and mercurial. A cobbler's son who counted nobles among his friends, a spy in the Queen's service, a fickle lover and a declared religious skeptic, Christopher Marlowe always courted trouble. In this memoir, love letter, confession, and settling of accounts, Ros Barber brings Christopher Marlowe and his era to vivid life in The Marlowe Papers.

Download or read book Open Boundaries written by John E. Cort and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Boundaries provides a new perspective on Jainism, one of the oldest yet least-studied of the world's living religions. Ten closely-focused studies investigate the interactions between Jains and non-Jains in South Asian society, with detailed studies of yoga, tantra, aesthetic theory, erotic poetry, theories of kingship, goddess worship, temple ritual, polemical poetry, religious women, and historiography. Viewing the Jains within a South Asian context results in a strikingly different portrait from the standard models represented in both traditional Western and Indian scholarship.
