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.
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.

This book documents the impulses that drive Elisabeth Eaves' insatiable hunger for the rush of the unfamiliar. She is both restless vagabond and astute observer as she crisscrosses five continents, chasing the exotic in both culture and romance. She loses herself in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, rekindles old love and new passion in Cairo, and finds an intinerant brotherhood of raucous men in the land Down Under. Like the random possessions she leaves in her wake, from Australia to Yemen, she also leaves behind a string of lovers. But this is about more than just sensual conquest; it is also a journey of self-discovery, in which her pursuit ultimately guides her home - back cover.
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.

The animals get together for a costume parade where they each dress as other animals, including an elephant dressed as a parrot, a ladybug in a hippopotamus outfit, and a fish whose cat costume causes the others to dub him a "catfish."
