After years of writing poetry and being published in various magazines and online publications such as Gothesque Magazine, Aurora Desmond has published her first anthology of poetry and prose. She blends the macabre with raw emotions, tackling issues such as gender identity and depression. As a transgender woman, Desmond does not hold back on such issues. Blending personal issues with her love of horror and fantasy, her poetry is truly unique, bringing to mind such writers as Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, and Edgar Allen Poe. In the only short story of the collection "Bloodlust", four teenagers meet a drifter and are tempted with sex, drugs, rock & roll, and eternal life. The strikingly vivid erotic tale is set in New England with plenty of musical references and Desmond's lyrical, precise prose.
Records the experience of the 1939-45 conflict, and its unending consequences. With poems from over twenty countries, this work brings out the chronological and cumulative human experience of the war: pre-war fears, air raids, the boredom, fear and camaraderie of military life; battle, occupation and resistance; and, surviving and the aftermath.

Desmond Beckwith is not a happy man. A financial wizard with an international investment empire, he's also in love with his lifelong-but-straight friend Roger. At forty-five, in spite of a circle of supportive friends and an elegant New York townhouse full of antiques, he feels isolated and cut off from humankind. And with good reason. Desmond Beckwith is a two-hundred-fifty-year-old vampire. For nearly two centuries he has lived in New York, looking vainly for love and seeking to satisfy his twin thirsts for blood and sex in those places where men of his kind have always met to find release and solace. Into Desmond's sheltered, lonely world stumbles Tony Chapman, an unemployed museum curator, down on his luck and one step away from being out on the streets. Brutalized by the unforgiving nature of New York City, Tony is on the edge of despair when he meets this darkly handsome older man in the smoky dimness of a Greenwich Village bar. To their mutual astonishment, Tony proceeds to turn Desmond's protected little world on its head, and to unlock pieces of Desmond's past lives and loves that were deeply buried in Desmond's memory.
These beautifully illustrated books, now reissued with all new 4-color covers, present the best of what's new in poetry, carefully chosen for children between the ages of 8 and 13. Many of the poems were written especially for these volumes, and among the poets included are Roald Dahl, Grace Nichols, Judith Viorst, Jack Prelutsky, David McCord. Foster provides a variety of themes with strong associations for children: from the fun and light-hearted (Vampires, Pets, and Holidays) to the provocative (One-Parent Families, Technology, and War). Drawings, cartoons and photographs--most in color--draw attention to every page.
