The Anchorage - Bernard O’Donoghue

Poetry of how we shape what is lost or past, and how it shapes us.Bernard Oâ ™Donoghue investigates anchorage as a place we build for ourselves out of memory and story. The Ireland of his youth is rich in colour and precise in detail, and while he acknowledges the power of the past, he also brings it into question: I wish I d never started on this story; / It may have been a dream, or maybe not . . . O Donoghue s informal and at times playful tone is that of a poet disarming themselves as well as their reader. Here are the paradoxes at the heart of human nature: what we are most attached to can be, in the end, what ties us down; the reluctance to return can arise out of the fear of finding ourselves locked out. O Donoghue s poems are an object lesson in how to write poetry that matters. PN Review The poignancy of O Donoghue s migratory imagination is . . . the perfect travelling companion. Times Literary Supplement Compelling and simple diction . . . full of gentle, sometimes undetectable flashes of humour. London Magazine As with everything O Donoghue writes, the more you look, the more you see. Scotsman

The Story of the Pony Express - Glenn D. Bradley

The Story of the Pony Express is a book written by Glenn D. Bradley. This tiny book s sole goal is to provide a reliable, practical, and readable overview of the Pony Express. This admirable endeavor made a significant contribution to history and showed what the American spirit is capable of. It demonstrated that not all of the heroes of 61 engaged in armed conflict south of the Mason-Dixon line. Strangely enough, hardly much formal writing has been done on the subject. The author has attempted to highlight and make accessible to all readers the more significant details of the Pony Express, including its conception, structure, and development, its historical significance, its background, and some anecdotes related to its operation. The subject introduces you to a wide range of fascinating material, much of it irrelevant but nevertheless fascinating. This information is disjointed and illogical on its own. It would be simple to fill many pages with western adventures that have no particular connection to the main subject.

We prove them wrong with accidentally vegan dishes like Smokey Crispy Tofu Miso Glazed Cabbage and Sweet Potato Coconut Stew.? They say our salads are only good for us if they are used as punishment. Charred Hearts Buttermilk Ranch and Broiled Hasselback Caprese beg to differ.? We’re told that all the foods we love from our childhoods are off-limits as adults. Homemade strawberry Pop-Tarts® and Kevin McCallister’s plain cheese pizza would like to speak to the manager.We’ve been slowly influenced away from our food joy without ever realizing we had a choice. This is our chance to reclaim the mental peace and connection that comes with cooking. It’s time to treat mealtime like the celebration it was always meant to be. It’s time to get off the diet culture highway at the next exit and head straight for The Trigger Kitchen.

Thomas Hardy and the Death of Emma - Andrew Norman

In many of his poems, the great Dorset poet and novelist Thomas Hardy referred to a certain romantic courtship, a marriage which became progressively more problematical, and finally to a bereavement in which a man loses his wife. So, who was Hardy writing about? The clue is to be found in his early poems, where the names of several locations in North Cornwall are mentioned, this being the very same place which featured in Hardy⠙s courtship of Emma Gifford, who was to become his first wife. The poems raise certain questions. Given that Hardy and Emma gradually drifted apart so that in the end they lived mainly separate lives, albeit under the same roof, why was he so grief-stricken when she died, bearing in mind that their marriage was so unsatisfactory?How did Hardy cope as he passed through the various stages of grief, which he articulated so poignantly and expressively in his poems? These stages are recognized today, thanks to the work of Swiss-US psychiatrist, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and US expert on grieving and loss, David Kessler. Finally, how did Hardy survive and come out the other side, and can his experience be a guide to others who find themselves alone and bereft after losing their partner?
