Summary:

Alan Seeger was born on 22nd June 1888 in New York. When he was one the family moved to Staten Island and nine years later onwards to Mexico for two years. After attending several elite preparatory schools he enrolled at Harvard in 1906, where he also edited and wrote for the Harvard Monthly.He graduated in 1910 and went to live the life of a bohemian in New York's Greenwich Village, and thereafter moved to Paris to continue his poetry writing in the Latin quarter. War's looming dark shadow was to have a transformative effect on the young poet and on 24th August 24th 1914 he joined the French Foreign Legion so he could fight for the Allies.On American Independence day, 4th July 1917 whilst urging on his fellow soldiers in a successful charge at Belloy-en-Santerre he was hit several times by machine gun fire and died.His poetry was published posthumously later that year, it although not a great success his poem 'I Have a Rendezvous with Death . . .' is now regarded as a classic.On the sixth anniversary of his death a memorial to the American volunteers was unveiled in the Place des Etats-Unis. The memorial was created by Jean Boucher who had used a photograph of Seeger as his inspiration. Also inscribed upon it are Seeger's moving words: "They did not pursue worldly rewards; they wanted nothing more than to live without regret, brothers pledged to the honour implicit in living one's own life and dying one's own death. Hail, brothers! Goodbye to you, the exalted dead! To you, we owe two debts of gratitude forever: the glory of having died for France, and the homage due to you in our memories."1 - The Poetry of Alan Seeger - An Introduction2 - I Have a Rendezvous with Death by Alan Seeger3 - Resurgam by Alan Seeger4 - The Hosts by Alan Seeger5 - Ode in Memory of the American Volunteers Fallen for France by Alan Seeger6 - Maktoob by Alan Seeger7 - On a Theme in the Greek Anthology by Alan Seeger8 - Sonnet I by Alan Seeger9 - Sonnet 3 by Alan Seeger10 - Sonnet 5 by Alan Seeger11 - Sonnet 6 by Alan Seeger12 - Sonnet 8 by Alan Seeger13 - Sonnet 10 by Alan Seeger14 - Sonnet 11 by Alan Seeger15 - Sonnet 12 by Alan Seeger16 - Sonnet 14 by Alan Seeger17 - With A Copy Of Shakespeares Sonnets On Leaving College by Alan Seeger18 - Juvenilia, An Ode to Natural Beauty by Alan Seeger19 - Tezcotzinco by Alan Seeger20 - On The Cliffs Newport by Alan Seeger21 - Do You Remember by Alan Seeger22 - All Thats Not Love by Alan Seeger23 - I Loved.... by Alan Seeger24 - Fragments by Alan Seeger25 - The Need To Love by Alan Seeger26 - Champagne 1914-1915 by Alan Seeger27 - Paris by Alan Seeger28 - Introduction and Conclusion of a Long Poem by Alan Seeger

Christmas may come but once a year but human emotions, the driving force of our characters are with us every day. Yet, somehow these same emotions when they happen at Christmas, seem amplified, we seem more tender to their touch, their words.Whether it's a long-lost returning soldier wondering how best to return to the arms of his family without too great a risk of shock ....... Or a prodigal son whose taken path has driven pain into his own and others hearts..... Or a murderer carrying out his thoughtless deed but then enmeshed in a dialogue for salvation.....These stories reveal much about the human condition. The landscape of our lives reveals that we all have choices, and how we use those choices influences, nourishes, or decays those around us.These stories are tidings of both joy and of terror .1 - Christmas Short Stories.

Summary:

Christmas, they say, comes but once a year. In these days it seems to also last for much of that year.For the religious amongst us this annual celebration of the Birth of Christ must seem bitter sweet; it's acknowledgment by billions of people countered by the pervasive spread of material possessions translating the event to little more than a sales pitch for their own wares. Most religions celebrate their founders but Christianity seems somehow to have lost possession of one of its key rituals in an ever more secular West. The spread of globalisation seems to have hindered rather than helped the true meaning of the festival. Children today are much more interested in what presents they might receive than any spiritual message. As parents too, most of us buy into this and we seem to indulge our offspring rather than the themes and aims of the festival's meaning common to us all. In this collection we rely on the words and wisdom of such fine poets as John Milton, Emily Dickinson, Sir Walter Scott, Daniel Sheehan, Wordsworth, Longfellow and a whole host of others to absorb us in a Christmas time of hope and togetherness set amongst a landscape of winter wonderment and Nature's palest palette. The experiences and memories they share with us speak of a time, of a world that did have a common purpose and an ambition to share good fortune with everyone. - 1 - Christmas Poetry - An Introroduction2 - On the Morning of Christs Nativity by John Milton3 - Nativity by John Donne4 - Carol by Ben Jonson5 - A Christmas Carol by Samual Taylor Coleridge6 - The Nativity by Henry Vaughan7 - An Ode of the Birth of Our Saviour by Robert Herrick8 - New Prince New Pomp by Robert Southwell9 - A Christmas Carol by Aubrey De Vere10 - The Nativity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Christopher Smart11 - The Three Kings by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow12 - A Christmas Carol by G K Chesterton13 - The Beautiful Mother by Jacopone da Todi14 - Upon Christ His Birth by Sir John Suckling15 - No Mercy Here by Daniel Sheehan16 - A Nativity by Rudyard Kipling17 - God Rest by Daniel Sheehan18 - The Oxen by Thomas Hardy19 - A Visit From St Nicholas ('Twas The Night Before Christmas) by Clement Moore20 - Old Christmastide (An Extract) by Sir Walter Scott21 - Christmas Eve by Christina Rossetti22 - The Snow Storm by Ralph Waldo Emerson23 - The Snow Man by Wallace Stevens24 - The First Snowfall by James Russell Lowell25 - The White Snow by Guillaume Apollinaire26 - Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow27 - Ring Out Wild Bells.

Summary:

Katherine was born on the 14th October 1888 into a prominent family in Wellington, New Zealand, the middle child of five.A gifted celloist, at one point she thought she might take it up professionally but writing gradually began to move to the forefront of her interests. Her first writings were published at an early age in school magazines.At 19 Katherine left for England where she met and befriended the modernist writers D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf amongst others. She then travelled to Europe before returning to New Zealand. There she began to write the short stories that she would later become so famous for. Her stories often focus on moments of disruption and frequently open rather abruptly. There was another less-heralded side to Katherine's writings; that of poetry. Her verse certainly reflects much of the themes of her life and interests. Many poems are beautiful, thoughtful, tender and observant works on the human condition. Some though seem out of kilter for so great a talent, almost child-like in form and content. But taken as yet another facet of her work they accomplish much in helping us to understand her.By 1908 she had returned to London and to a rather more bohemian lifestyle. Life was to be lived and enjoyed. A passionate affair resulted in her becoming pregnant and in her being married off to an older man. But she left him the same evening with the marriage unconsummated.

Summary:

Nature is always on the move. Evolution over untold generations moves, streamlines, sometimes mutates.Since the dawn of life there is little doubt that at any given time disease can strike, slowly growing over time or with a sudden instant ferocity that catches any given species in a consuming catastrophe.The human race has been on the receiving end of many viral and bacterial diseases from the Black Death, to smallpox, polio and a myriad of others that have slaughtered millions in their trail. And as medicine brings them to heel, eradicates their power, so Nature and Evolution brings others to the fore in a ceaseless march to weaken some, to strengthen others.And, as our race understands their mysteries so we begin to weaponize them for our own malevolent use as biological weapons. The movement of the Global Pandemic in the modern age is overwhelmingly quick both in reach and transmission. Covid merely the front runner in the early years of this Century.Authors have always been drawn to this global scale and individual human response. In this collection virus and plague are given their head and the responses must see cure or capitulation within a few short pages.Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, Fred M White and H G Wells unleash words and thoughts in four startling tales of war with an unseen enemy.1 - Pandemic!

Summary:

Alice Christiana Gertrude Thompson was born on 22nd September 1847 in Barnes, London.Her family travelled widely meaning that Alice's early years were spent around England, Switzerland, and France before finally settling in Italy. Her dedicated interest in religion brought a conversion to the Catholic faith. Much of that viewpoint is seen in her first published volume in 1875, 'Preludes'.In 1876 she married Wilfred Meynell, the newspaper publisher and editor and together they set up and published a number of magazines as well as publishing the initial works of several poets including Francis Thompson.Despite a hectic lifestyle of her own poetry and essays together with the family business she gave birth to eight children. Her health though was erratic, and she was frequently incapacitated by illness including migraines and depressions.As the new century dawned she along with many other artists began to question the colonial needs of Empire with its segregation and oppression. In particular she sought and gained a role in the Women's Suffrage movement as it attempted to obtain greater equality for women. Today Alice is often overlooked for the quality and stature of her poetry which, during her career brought serious official consideration. She was twice considered but passed over for the post of poet laureate after the deaths of Alfred Lord Tennyson and Alfred Austin.Alice Meynell died on 27th November 1922.
