Award-winning artist Jon J Muth retells the favorite tale of a selfish community who is tricked into creating a delicious soup from stones. Set in China in Muth's hauntingly beautiful watercolors. Three strangers, hungry and tired, pass through a war-torn village. Embittered and suspicious from the war, the people hide their food and close their windows tight. That is, until the clever strangers suggest making a soup from stones. Intrigued by the idea, everyone brings what they have until-- together, they have made a feast fit for a king! In this inspiring story about the strength people possess when they work together, Muth takes a simple, beloved tale and adds his own fresh twist.

In recent years, poetry and video games have begun talking to – and taking from – one another in earnest. Poets, ever in pursuit of meaning, now draw inspiration from digital-interactive fantasy worlds, while video game developers aim to enrich their creations by imbuing them with poetic depth. This book investigates the phenomena of poem-game hybrids and other forms of poetic-ludic interplay, making use of both a multidisciplinary critical approach and the author’s own experiments in building and testing hybrid artefacts. What emerges is the suggestion of a future where reading and playing are no longer seen as separate endeavours, where the quests for sensory pleasure and philosophic insight are one and the same.
The expectation of an end to time and the yearning for a millennial paradise have been recurring themes in Western religious thought. But when we speak of ""expectation"" of the world's end we are mindful of the fact that generation after generation of millenarians have been disappointed. Their endtime hopes and prophecies have not come true. What happens, one might ask, when prophecies fail? Does failure spell the end of the very movements that embrace such expectations? The aim of this anthology is to gather together in one volume the essential research from the fields of sociology and ps.
Jon Stone was Albert Camus, Errol Flynn and Tintin compounded into poet form. He wrote work of vigour and flair from the age of 16 up to his death at 21. In this, the first volume of his selected works to be published, Mary Read argues that this daring boy-poet, who compared himself to Caligula and claimed to write out of idleness, wrought a compelling, utterly contemporary poetic terrain, teaming with emotional architecture; the modern world translated into a place of sorcery, piracy, rebellion and tyranny. "Stone. He travelled surreal pathways and painted visceral pictures so that you could stroke the canvas. The women he touched were on the same journey, some calm, some uneasy. He laid false trails, grasped at the earth, held air, set all in words to last forever. Stone." - Ronnie Goodyer
