The Machinery of Life
"I love that these words are about The Self - But not self-indulgent. There's no ego here, just words - Take 'em or leave 'em. There's so much hate in this world any bit of loving's gotta be alright." - Steve Ignorant "In 'The Machinery of Life' Darren J Beaney returns to the territory of his pamphlet, 'Honey Dew': drawing on myth, literature, and his own experience he explores the subject that has occupied poets through time: the nature of love. This is, however, love as lived in the twenty-first century captured in poetry that is inventive, witty, and frequently surprising but never slushy or sentimental. This is true love as experienced by a man with middle age spread who cannot believe h...
Honey Dew
"Honey dew is the debut pamphlet by Darren J Beaney a collection of twenty-one powerful love poems, Beaney has written a wonderful and emotionally charged pamphlet that savours the true expressions and empathy in love with all its up's and downs, the poems are sublime fragments and enchanting visions of true love and are sometimes confessional. A true and well written debut that will manifest its imagery in the mind with such lines as "it carried countless memories in the circular membrane made from battered water buffalo", and love is what we need more of today." Matt Duggan POET
Through Loving Words
In the second volume of Through Loving Words, each poet recounts the intense emotions of loving deeply and then losing that passionate connection. This collection of poems describes the deeply personal experience that comes with giving your whole heart to someone only to have it be crushed, leaving you feeling utterly broken and alone. But, losing a love does not always mean depression and despair. Some use heartbreak as a catalyst to learn and grow, resulting in an even greater love. For those who have nursed a broken heart, this collection of poems will surely resonate. After all, Alfred Lord Tennyson said it best when he quipped "'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Romantic regret can be hard to handle, but if you can learn from it and allow it to shape how you approach future relationships, you'll undoubtedly experience greater love in the future.

Postcards From The Hedge: A Bestiary of the Night
Do you remember closing your eyes to go to sleep only for your overactive imagination to take control and turn every shadow into a monster, every squeak of a floorboard into the footsteps of some strange and scary animal, every breath tasting of magic and mystery and no matter how tightly you squeezed your eyes shut, you knew not to open them? We have news for you. Something really was watching you. *** Including poetry from, Desmond Childs Val Ormrod Pratibha Castle Anna Teresa Slater Ceinwen E. Cariad Haydon Nick Toczek Genya Johnson Simon Buckland Anne Casey Darren J Beaney Karren Middleton

Cariad Haydon Elisabeth Kelly Sue Ibrahim Naomi Sterling Andrew Stickland Andy Eycott Brian McManus Phil Santus Susan Darlington Margaret Royall Merril D. Smith Patricia M.

Unmuted
Nigel Kent's collection of ekphrastic poems,"Unmuted", is inspired by a gallery of famous works by artists from the present and the past. Each artwork acts as a frame in a storyboard which he unfreezes and unmutes to reveal the narrative he imagines lies behind it. Even for those who have no interest in art these direct, accessible and moving poems will stand alone and promise to engage with issues that truly matter. With a gifted painter's deft touch coupled with an awareness that every brush stroke matters, Nigel Kent's ekphrastic poems are a masterclass in the use of telling detail. Each poem stands alone without need of the artwork that inspired it, and reading the pamphlet is as enrichi...
