Ten
This groundbreaking anthology of ten new poets truly reflects the multicultural make-up of contemporary Britain. At a time when less than 1% of all poetry books published in the UK are by black or Asian poets, the work of these writers testifies to the quality and versatility of vital writing that should not be overlooked. These new voices draw on cultural influences and multiple heritages that can only enrich and broaden the scope of contemporary British poetry. This anthology is the culmination of a much needed initiative by literature development agency Spread the Word to support talented new Black and Asian poets. The poets' histories are to be found in Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Guya...
China
Digby Walton was once the heir to an English pottery company. Now in old age he contemplates the history of that company as he reflects upon the modern world. He stares with Ruskin's tragic eye at the society that surrounds him. His own heir is Theo, who wishes to ignore history and simply play trumpet in his jazz band Zeno. Theo wants to live entirely inside the perfection of songs, but the question is, will reality let him? Meanwhile Digby's next-door neighbour, Daisy Gresham, famed as one of the great film beauties of her day, seeks her own elusive son, perilously engaged in the international anarchist movement as he brings Ruskin's critique dangerously up to date. Alan Wall's novel weaves back and forth between the present and the twentieth century that formed it, its wars and industries, industries that once propelled an empire but now appear in permanent decline, asking constantly what art contributes to life and whether life can ever survive for long without it. Beneath the humour the range of themes is vast, from the Somme to contemporary rock music, from the first world to the third, from the Battle of Britain to September 11th.

Woman Alone
Woman Alone is a vision and dream of mine out of experiences of feeling alone within my marriage. It tells of both my personal struggles in my marriage and my attempt to help women and men to understand their completion of each other through their spiritual growth from wisdom found in the Holy Bible. There is a deep hurt and a deep longing in our hearts. When we feel alone - that hurt can only be fixed by God Himself. There are Bible Scriptures to help us to be healed and feel His love. There are scripture answers to all relationship questions. I believe that reading and studying the bible will bring total family victory. We can overcome the issues of life and come up to a greater family unit. I believe that through the plan of God we can develop an unconditional love for each other and be happy and stay in the marriage for a life time. -Gladys L. Jackson
