DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The word, Eros, names not only a Greek god of love, but also an asteroid! What does an ecstatic filled epiphany of empathic compassionate fulfillment have to do with a hard and lifeless, rocky chunk of matter? Eros: Faces of Love fearlessly enters the spiral labyrinth of this paradox. With penetratingly tender reflection and bold confessional scrutiny, the author ponders whether love is the arrival of a “longed for gift” or the disaster of “an unexpected meteor”. As sensual descriptions reveal the ecstatic delight of “islands of paradise”, passionate metaphors uncover rocky “hidden coves of scorn”. Can unsettled dreams temper the hectic race to make space ‘to love’? Can fond remembrances call one home to rest and simply let space open ‘for love’? Eros: Faces of Love opens the space of the heart for both the lover and the beloved to find out.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Olga Broumas has chosen poems from the full range of Odysseas Elytis's Nobel Prize-winning poetry, including his early work when he was associated with the Surrealists, to the entirety of his long poem The Little Mariner, as well as a previously unavailable selection of his last poems, written shortly before his death in 1996. Elytis himself offers the best description of his work: If a separate personal Paradise exists for each of us, mine must be irreparably planted with trees of words which the wind silvers like poplars, by people who see their confiscated justice given back, and by birds that even in the midst of the truth of death insist on singing in Greek and saying eros, eros, eros.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The poem The Besotted Daemons ends with the line, ..".And I knew where they lived and how to get there. A tiny boat alone at night. Holes made by rabbits. A doorway drawn from chalk." An ode to three of Bayouth's favorite stories. The collection of poems is itself, transportive. Taking the reader through the land of her own creation, of doors and heart holes, beaus and Eros. A shimmering, painful glimpse of love and loss and a map of the dark underbelly which is the female psyche. Beau's & Eros isn't just a book of poetry, it is a portrait of another world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The world cannot fear what it does not know; a fact that has allowed the people of Dusk to exist in relative peace for centuries. Hidden behind a shroud of mystery on the distant continent of Xulrathia, the southern Kingdom is home to the most devout followers of Ayrelon's god and goddess of death; who take their church quite literally. Few know the true nature of Dusk's citizens, and fewer know the true nature of Queen Mordessa, the demonic creature who rules them.The only threat the immortal residents of Dusk might fear lies to the north, hiding within a veil of secrecy, deep within the Talaani Empire. Their ancient war long abandoned for reasons they cannot remember, Dusk's Undead and Unliving residents live in relative peace, completely unaware of what their Queen has done to hold the terrible, scaled empire at bay. Fate's memory is less forgiving. Relentless be the drive of a Kingdom made from bone. Vengeance be their fear, as Dragons wake from stone.
