From The Heart is a collection of poetry and prose with illustrations. Since my youth, the ability to write creatively has fascinated me. That words can be powerful enough to describe inner emotions, recall memories and create a beautiful image inspires me to write. 'FROM THE HEART' explores aspects both real and imaginary in my life. It is left to the reader to decide which is which. But in the reading, I hope emotions will be shared and memories stimulated, that awareness of nature will be discovered and thoughts of life's mysteries will be provoked.
In WHOSE BIRTHDAY? the published poet and author Yvonne Ruby Hughes combines practicality and creativity to make a book which is a pleasure to read and use. Here dates of family and friends' birthdays can be recorded in a clear and simple layout. Each month opens on a double page and so can be viewed at a glance. There is ample space for each date to record names.Their zodiac signs and basic character traits are included too.Each month is accompanied by a seasonal, atmospheric poem and full colour photographs help make this book a treasure to keep.
This book is the first book devoted entirely to Hughes as an environmental activist and writer. Drawing on the rapidly-growing interest in poetry and the environment, the book deploys insights from ecopoetics, ecocriticism and Anthropocene studies to analyse how Hughes’s poetry reflects his environmental awareness. Hughes’s understanding of environmental issues is placed within the context of twentieth-century developments in ‘green’ ideology and politics, challenging earlier scholars who have seen his work as apolitical. The unique strengths of this book lie in its combination of cutting-edge insights on ecocriticism with extensive work on the British Library’s new Ted Hughes archive. It will appeal to readers who enjoy Hughes’s work, as well as students and academics.

In collaboration with Hay Festival and Wom@rts. Introduced by Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project. ‘To be European,’ writes Leïla Slimani, ‘is to believe that we are, at once, diverse and united, that the Other is different but equal.’ Despite these high ideals, however, there is a growing sense that Europe needs to be fixed, or at the least seriously rethought. The clamour of rising nationalism – alongside widespread feelings of disenfranchisement – needs to be addressed if the dreams of social cohesion, European integration, perhaps even democracy are to be preserved. This anthology brings together 28 acclaimed women writers, artists, scientists and entrepreneu...
