The Trials of Orpheus
A revealing look at how the Orpheus myth helped Renaissance writers and thinkers understand the force of eloquence In ancient Greek mythology, the lyrical songs of Orpheus charmed the gods, and compelled animals, rocks, and trees to obey his commands. This mythic power inspired Renaissance philosophers and poets as they attempted to discover the hidden powers of verbal eloquence. They wanted to know: How do words produce action? In The Trials of Orpheus, Jenny Mann examines the key role the Orpheus story played in helping early modern writers and thinkers understand the mechanisms of rhetorical force. Mann demonstrates that the forms and figures of ancient poetry indelibly shaped the princip...
Moving Day
Jenny King was born in London during the Blitz. Her parents, both teachers, encouraged her to write poetry as a child and overcame wartime paper rationing to make her a book to write them in. Her poems view the world calmly, thoughtfully. They consider memory, peace and its opposite, the inwardness and variety of the natural world, and how an individual relates to others. All the poems are concerned with the interest and excitement of language itself. Some use traditional patterns in unexpected ways, sometimes including rhyme, sometimes in more fluid forms. They work for clarity and memorable perception. Accessible language and natural rhythms are always important though used variously. Looking into the known - or half known - past of family history, the poem can disclose the fallibility of memory but also how present relates to past and how the present with its difficulties intrudes on any consideration of how to live. These poems result from a long writing life and study of both past and contemporary poets.

Blotted Lines
Blotted Lines rebuffs centuries of mythologization about the creative process—the idea that William Shakespeare "never blotted out line"—to argue that by studying how early modern writers faced the challenges of writing poetry, instructors today can empower their students' approaches to critical writing. Adhaar Noor Desai offers deeply researched accounts of how poetic labor intersected with early modern rhetorical theory, material culture, and social networks. Tracing the productive struggles of such writers as George Gascoigne, Philip Sidney, John Davies of Hereford, Lady Anne Southwell, and Shakespeare across their manuscripts, Desai identifies in their work instances of discompositio...
Fighting Evil
Enter a world where demons still stalk the earth. Fortunately, the Vatican Elite Force is there to make sure that they don't steal souls without a fight. Now, one of the Vatican's best special agents and assassins - Father Domenico Marsala - is on his most important mission yet: He's tracking down Asmodais Winters, the demon prince of lust who has already survived four assassination attempts. Iblis, the self-proclaimed King of the Jinn, has ordered Asmodais to revisit America in a bid to draw more human followers to the evil side. The mission holds special significance to Asmodais, who wants to find his daughter and former lover so he can bring them back to Paris. The Vatican Elite Force thinks that it has a good shot of ridding the world of the demon prince once and for all, but Father Marsala is about to face evil on a scale that he never imagined. Join him as he follows a path that features plenty of intrigue, lust and unexpected twists on the way to Fighting Evil.
