Iris Therese Smith Reid has a growing reputation as a poet, particularly in and around Grimsby, Lincolnshire. As well as having written several books of poetry, her work appears from time to time in local magazines and periodicals. The poems here cover a wide range of themes, from the experience of being a small child in a Grimsby air-raid to Iris's thoughts on retirement. On every page, what comes through is a passion for life in all its rich variety and a love of family, friends and the natural world. There are also some accomplished poems contributed by members of Iris's family: her granddaughter Clair Smith and daughter-in-law Kim Brennan.
A young widow, Betsy Abbot, goes to Alderney to manage a small bistro, hoping to find a way to move on from the sadness that threatens to overwhelm her life. There she meets and falls in love with a Guernsey yachtsman, Allain Laubert, but once again Betsy's life is devastated by sudden tragedy. The Jonquil of the title is Allain's yacht, and the story centres on the St Anne Challenge, a biennial yacht race around the island of Alderney. Allain gives Betsy new hope. Her life once again is brightened by love. But subsequent to the tragedy there are complications and misunderstandings, and Allain’s former girlfriend, Francesca, is determined to keep them apart.

In the tradition of a decade of bi-annual gatherings of the International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry, this volume serves as the fifth refereed symposium anthology. Enchantments of Place celebrates poetry and poetic voices--theorizing and exploring poetic inquiry as an approach, methodology, and/or method for use in contemporary research practices. Poetic inquiry has increased in prominence as a legitimate means by which to collect, assimilate, analyze, and share the results of research across many disciplines. With this collection, we hope to continue to lay the groundwork internationally, for researchers, scholars, graduate students, and the larger community to take up poetic inquiry as a way to approach knowledge generation, learning, and sharing. This volume specifically works to draw attention to the ancient connection between poetry and the natural world with attention to broadening the ecological scope and impact of the work of poetic inquirers.
Poetic Inquiry: Vibrant Voices in the Social Sciences, co-edited by Monica Prendergast, Carl Leggo and Pauline Sameshima, features many of the foremost scholars working worldwide in aesthetic ways through poetry.
Edward McCoul's love for writing creative, inspired poetry is the basis for writing this book. He has written about his favorite topics and he has divided the book into poetry chapters that have appeal to young and old. The chapters in the book are Family, Children, Presidential, Inspirational, Christmas, and Adult Poems. There is also a special last chapter, Poems Make Romantic Songs, that should appeal to music lovers or to those of you who are just helplessly romantic. Whatever your varied interests are, you will find great satisfaction reading Edward McCoul's Poetry
The Enchantment of Poetry marks an intriguing collaboration between an artist and a poet. Dr Georgios D. Kordis, a professor, theologian, and important artist of his time, created the fine art drawings. A renowned, world-class iconographer in the Byzantine tradition, Kordis has introduced surrealistic and impressionistic influences that create amazing images that add to Byzantine art traditions. In this volume, the works of Kordis are accompanied by the ideologies and scenarios presented by poetess and muse Lady Sarah Paris. Her poems topics range from historical and religious subjects to romantic and mythical imagery. Lady Pariss poetry encompasses her insights, opinions, fantasies, research, and experiences to realize the depth of the connection between Kordiss art and her writings. Finding inspiration in the Master Painter, Lady Paris has written very special poems, songs, and stories referencing these wonderful fine art treasures. The Enchantment of Poetry brings together two art forms that benefit from the presence of the other in this enchanting illustrated collection.
A lively examination of the spirit and practices that have made the indie movement into a powerful cultural phenomenon You know the look: skinny jeans, Chuck Taylors, perfectly mussed bed-head hair; You know the music: Modest Mouse, the Shins, Pavement. You know the ethos: DIY with a big helping of irony. But what does it really mean to be "indie"? As popular television shows adopt indie soundtracks and the signature style bleeds into mainstream fashion, the quirky individuality of the movement seems to be losing ground. In Slanted and Enchanted, Kaya Oakes demonstrates how this phase is part of the natural cycle of a culture that reinvents itself continuously to preserve its core ideals of experimentation, freedom, and collaboration. Through interviews and profiles of the artists who have spearheaded the cause over the years—including Mike Watt, David Berman, Kathleen Hanna, and Dan Clowes—Oakes examines the collective creativity and cross-genre experimentation that are the hallmarks of this popular lifestyle trend. Her visits to music festivals, craft fairs, and smaller collectives around the country round out the story, providing a compelling portayal of indie life on the ground. Culminating in the current indie milieu of music, crafting, style, art, comics, and zines, Oakes reveals from whence indie came and where it will go next.
Departing from a survey on the post-modern landscapes of tourism, this book explores the transformations the city has undergone and the way it has become a simulacrum offered to tourists, spectacularised with the aim of increasing its capacity for attraction. The experiences dealt with in the papers of authors belonging to different disciplinary fields, emphasise the city’s tendencies to create “stage-set contexts” of the private type, be it historic quarters, theme parks or hypermarkets. Issues like aestheticisation, thematisation and genericity are dealt with, conceptual categories that highlight the weak resistance cities put up against the rules of the leisure industry and, more generally speaking, the consumer economy. The book inquires into the capacity of the urban and territorial project to construct a perspective for a public dimension of space. This is linked with ethical action of the project involving an active relationship with places and a capacity to understand the dynamics of different urban populations. In this sense capacity for innovation and creativity can contribute to transforming “islands” of leisure into places of the city and consumers into citizens.
