The Fourth Step is a huge literary project recorded to the music of more than forty artists and fifty-one instrumental tracks spanning over five and a half hours. Prose, poetical prose and lyrics combine in an unusual way to tell a story of love that bridges mystical experience and human affection. The borders of love blur, stretch and expand, or contract and enclose, freeing us or enslaving us. They extend from boundless and selfless to personal and narrow, from bliss to sorrow, from joy to pain. They can make us powerful or powerless, limit us or make us limitless.

De comum, estes dois ensaios têm o mesmo objeto: a arte. Em "Estética e eletricidade", o alvo do autor são os críticos das artes plásticas, cujo conhecimento de ciência acaba por turvar a adequada avaliação das obras. Já em "Flaubert", o autor francês é que está na mira da crítica dura – incomum – à sua obra. Teria de fato autor do célebre "Madame Bovary" desmerecido o prestígio que alcançou?

Dois ensaios em que Tristão de Alencar de Araripe Júnior explora personagens públicas de seu tempo. Em "O fetiche", a Rainha Vitória está no centro de seus comentários (críticos), ao tempo em que ela celebrava seu jubileu de ouro. "Viagens de Gulliver", por sua vez, nada fala da obra de Johnattan Swift, mas a obra clássica que empresta seu título ao ensaio serve como metáfora para enaltecer a figura do pedagogo Carlos Jansen, que valorizava a literatura infanto-juvenil entre os jovens estudantes brasileiros do final do século XIX.

"Um livro como o que agora oferece o poeta Alberto de Oliveira (...) não é um vômito de histerismo orgiático; esse livro é um perfume" – eis o tom deste ensaio do crítico Araripe Jr. sobre livro "Versos e rimas", de seu contemporâneo Alberto de Oliveira, marcado pelo erotismo e pela musicalidade de seus versos. E música é justamente o tema do segundo ensaio aqui reunido, onde o autor questiona a importância dada a esse gênero artístico: "A baqueta de um maestro vale hoje mais do que um cetro."

In Awakening, Awakening, Safire Rose shares the universal quest for enlightenment that aims to guide listeners along the intricate path of inner exploration and personal growth. Like walking a complex maze, the rhythmic cadence of Safire Rose's verse draws you inward, connects you to the wisdom of your higher self and offers energetic support as you navigate the twists and turns of your spirituality. With each poem, you will find yourself delving deeper into the essence of your being, accepting your wholeness, and returning to the world with a renewed sense of purpose and joy.

In the quiet moments between breaths, where memory lingers and time falters, lies a world often unseen—a tapestry woven from the echoes of what is left behind. Unfinished Things invites you to wander through this realm, where absence has shape and silence has voice.

Poetically Yours est une anthologie en hommage aux compositeurs et interprètes rencontrés et découverts au travers du web magazine Sounds So Beautiful. L’ouvrage compile une série d’écrits autour de thèmes existentiels pour des artistes… et pour le commun des mortels en général. Je contemple ainsi dans mon livre les idées de conscience de soi et de confiance en soi, sans écarter la foi et le sens de la reconnaissance.

Hay obras maestras, como el Quijote, que los autores empiezan sin plan preciso ni determinado: van haciendo de la necesidad virtud, rizando el rizo de la invención. Pero la Comedia pertenece a otra categoría: es el resultado de la deliberación y la perseverancia de Dante. Exiliado de Florencia y condenado a la hoguera, fue incluso contumaz, pues insistió en el imperdonable "error" de crear algo profundamente nuevo y personal.

Life is frenetic. Everything is running faster which usually means we are running later. Everything should have been done 5 minutes ago or better still yesterday. We are slowly falling behind, overwhelmed by busy lives in an ever-exacting world. In these more modern times, time is everything. There’s never enough of it. Classic poets down the decades and centuries have wisely observed that there are many things, both great and small, that bring a sense of stillness, an aura of calm, a chance to re-engage with our feelings and emotions purely by taking time for moments that matter.

Una estrofa popular abre este poemario: «Llamadme amparo,/ el enfermo buscaba el alivio/ malito, y yo no lo hallo». A continuación, Niño de Elche empieza a hilvanar distintas estampas poéticas dedicadas a la idea del hogar, imagen que caldea la memoria y la imaginería de cada uno, lo que nos ampara contra los embates de la vida.

The ballad is one of the oldest poetic forms in English and are simply poems or songs that tell a story. Maybe it’s because of childhood associations or that we all enjoy a cracking good story told in rhyme but as this volume demonstrates, the ballad has endless appeal. We include favourites such as Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s The Ballad of the Harp Weaver, Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee as well as classics such as Sir Patrick Spens, the Ballad of Reading Gaol by Wilde and La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats.

In 1890 W. B. Yeats and Ernest Rhys founded a poetry club. Based mainly at Fleet Street’s immortal ‘Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese’ pub, with occasional appearances at the Domino room in the Café Royal, poets gathered together to dine and drink. Whilst it was based on a core of poets, many others attended on an ad hoc basis including Oscar Wilde, Francis Thompson & Lord Alfred Douglas. The camaraderie, banter and poetry that played out in their dreams, ambitions and for many, their difficult lives led Yeats to call them ‘the tragic generation’.

Silence is rare in Nature. When we really listen, Nature is conducting symphonies of sound as her world goes about the day and night. Her invisible heartbeat is everywhere, for everyone. Our eyes are constantly bathed in the wonder of her ways, the soft drizzle of rain from soft grey clouds, the bleached harsh desert sand of a noon day, a wave caressing the shore, to the ravenous colours of a departing sunset. Indeed, whenever we look and listen to the vastness of our world Nature’s beauty is always there for us. In these 60 minutes Nature takes us through her world of wonder.

Here we journey with our classic poets from Christina Georgina Rossetti and Thomas Hardy to Frances W. Harper and Kipling, not only the ways, the wonders and the women who take on the responsibility to raise children no matter the problems or dangers to themselves, but also the difficulties and sometimes desperate tragedies that motherhood can involve. We hope these poems inspire every generation to reach out and better themselves and those around. This is our tribute to mothers everywhere.

As the 1900’s begin women are in a difficult situation. Whatever the pretence of society the reality for almost all women is that they are second class and the property of men. Whilst women have created enduring works of literature and poetry for centuries, much has remained hidden and voiceless. But technology and the mass distribution of printed materials has allowed new ideas and thoughts to circulate, to demand a voice. In this volume their talents and voices speak with determination, wisdom, courage and love on many subjects through their extraordinary verse.
