Sex Augury is a collection that practices divination with the symbolism of our radically changed and changeable world. Exercising trans poetics, C. Bain denormalizes the violence embedded in the most intimate strata of American life. Confrontationally queer, urgently wounded, deeply political, and metaphysically transported, these poems create their own system of meaning in an environment that is increasingly hostile to meaning of any kind. This collection spans digital culture, gender reversals, and archetypal-mythic vocabularies, alongside close observation of the surround of “ordinary” urban existence. Sex Augury is a work of dyads, not binaries—concepts bound together which nonetheless refuse to form a coherent, harmonious whole; humor and despair, tenderness and brutality, desire and revulsion. These poems bristle with intelligence, acuity of feeling, and refusal to gloss the complexity of our moment into a false narrative of progress.
In the 1500s an almanac full of magic spells was put together by someone intent on bringing about The End Times. It has resurfaced and is being used indiscriminately.An unexpected lunar eclipse. A poisonous fog that cripples the capital. Statues that weep blood.As the catalogue of calamities mount, fear and paranoia provoke rumours of terrorist attacks. But from whom?History professor Juliet Harrington is an authority on sixteenth-century mysticism and a long-time believer in the existence of the Almanac of Forbidden Wisdom, a potent spell-book legend insists was compiled in that period by a cabal of powerful occultists. Its magic is summoned though only at disastrous cost, signalled by The Auguries. Juliet is convinced that the recent plague of disasters means someone reckless is using the book - and she has little time left to stop them.
I thought I was fighting to prove myself, but it turns out I've been duped. The traitor betrayed... I guess there's a certain poetic irony to that.Unfortunately, neither poetry nor irony is going to get me or the guy I inadvertently dragged into this mess to safety. I've got nothing left to bargain with. So when the worst of our betrayers offers us a way out, what choice do I have but to take it?There's a long journey ahead of us, one I couldn't have been prepared for. One that'll require I somehow trust the last person I want to. One that'll push all three of us to our limits-with no guarantee that we'll make it to the end alive.*False Augury is the second book in a new urban fantasy trilogy set in the Villain Academy world. Enter here for magical conspiracies, an outcast heroine, and a fraught romance where she'll get to keep both her suitors.*
Welcome to Amanar! As you enter Amanar during a time of upheaval you'll meet The Augur and learn of their secret allegiances with the giants, centaurs, healers and the race of men. Difficult times lie ahead for the Arcadians as they fight to restore the peace in Amanar which has been threatened by the Abaddonians. Will the clash among the Augur take this epic to the ultimate battle of good vs. evil?

Roman Republican Augury: Freedom and Control proposes a new way of understanding augury, a form of Roman state divination designed to consult the god Jupiter. Previous scholarly studies of augury have tended to focus either upon its legal-constitutional effects or upon its role in maintaining and perpetuating Roman social and political structures. This volume makes a new contribution to the study of Roman religion, politics, and cultural history by focusing instead upon what augury can tell us about how Romans understood their relationship with their gods. Augury is often thought to have told Romans what they wanted to hear. This volume argues that augury left space for perceived expressions of divine will which contradicted human wishes, and that its rules and precepts did not permit human beings to create or ignore signs at will. This analysis allows the Jupiter whom Romans approached in augury to emerge as not simply a source of power to be channelled to human ends, but a person with his own interests and desires, which did not always overlap with those of his human enquirers. When human will and divine will clashed, it was the will of Jupiter which was supposed to prevail. In theory as in practice, it was the Romans, not their supreme god, who were bound by the auguries and auspices.
We defy augury. There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come … the readiness is all. Under the sign of Hamlet’s last act, Hélène Cixous, in her eightieth year, launched her new book—and the latest chapter in her Human Comedy, her Search for Lost Time. Surely one of the most delightful, in its exposure of the seams of her extraordinary craft, We Defy Augury finds the reader among familiar faces. In these pages we encounter Eve, the indomitable mother; Jacques Derrida, the faithful friend; children, neighbors; and always the literary forebears: Montaigne, Diderot, Proust, and, in one moving passage, Erich Maria Remarque. We Defy Augury moves easily from Cixous’s Algerian childhood, to Bacharach in the Rhineland, to, eerily, the Windows on the World restaurant atop the World Trade Center, in the year 2000. In one of the most astonishing passages in this tour-de-force performance of the art of digression, Cixous proclaims: “My books are free in their movements and in their choice of routes […] They are the product of many makers, dreamed, dictated, cobbled together.” This unique experience, which could only have come from the pen of Cixous, is now available in English, and readers are sure to delight in this latest work by one of France’s most celebrated writer-philosophers.

A collection of poems about the cycle of drug, alcohol, emotional and physical abuse both self-abuse and at the hands of others. How does it begin? What is the end? There are no answers in this book but a narrative of the storm itself. Dedicated to my sisters who died as a result and those who survived--the woman of White Rabbit Poetry Circle.

Volume 1 - Book 1 of the Tr Halsien ZjeurA Kiyron NovelAN ALLIANCE OF THREEThe first in a gargantuan series of books spanning millennia. *** "Let me focus this story upon but a few threads of the vast tapestry that is the world I know. Let me focus upon Tr Halsien Zjeur: The Three Augured Climacterics."Asju: Kkombinaar Yathesj to the Pire Ipre Nestled in Ristiek's lower mountains, Lieoptay-Noot, Nktlifl Seer to his people, friend and student of Iyr s, the not-yet-born Kajin Rabiel, foretells a multitude of events that will shape the future of Malkiyron and Dooskiyron, the outer and inner worlds of Kiyron. His cryptic prophecies include the Tr Halsien Zjeur. In the 1st Augured Climacteric, the War of Deceptions has arrived, the Central Kalayvyen States conquering one nation after another with ruthless efficiency. The outcome appears unstoppable and catastrophic. Zarith Gavet, a renowned seer with some powerful allies, may be Malkiyron's only hope for salvation. But only if he can utilise every resource at his disposal: Helier'Oasjaan, his most reliable android colleague and friend; Mumbles, the mysterious Ristiekaan Ninuuk, with a fondness for some of his most gifted students; and especially the talents of all the very unique students within Sjaarkrom Institute's Academy, all being groomed to put every meta skill they have and every other skill they learn, to full use across the planet. Three of those students are becoming increasingly important: twin sister and brother, Bisel and Padran, each developing at levels never before seen; and Koarvel, the Academy's newest recruit, with abilities that are virtually unknown, even to himself, and yet to be fully determined. But there's an unknown force at work, with incredible resources. They want the twins, dead if necessary. They know how to breach the Institute's defenses. They know how to control a person's mind. And they know how to kill with lethal brutality. In order to stop them, in order to even survive, Bisel and Padran must put aside their own growing differences and learn who these people are. And tied inextricably to that is a repeating question: "What is the meaning of 'SE'?" *** On Kiyron, the perpetual confrontations between the destructive manipulations of Ligil-Yabesj and the transformational will of Koazjuur'Iy rise and fall as they weave across the outer shell of Malkiyron, finally breeching the inner sanctum of Dooskiyron. Interlacing the chaos, threads of awakening may yet make a difference, if only the many disparate groups and individuals spanning the divides of time can recognise a deeper truth so heavily shrouded by the veils of their perception. Weaving through 4 different time-lines, each story interlaces with the others, as they all lead irrevocably to their own dramatic conclusion, each one changing the fate of the entire planet.

Volume 1 - Book 2 of the Tr Halsien ZjeurA Kiyron NovelARRIVAL OF THE KAJIN RABIELThe second in a gargantuan series of books spanning millennia. *** "Darkness can never withstand light, no matter how it might try. Through my brother's awakening are we all un-glamoured. Through his choice, we all grant ourselves permission to join him."Asju: Kkombinaar Yathesj to the Pir Ipr Nestled in Ristiek's lower mountains, Lieoptay-Noot, Nktlifl Seer to his people, friend and student of Iyr s, the not-yet-born Kajin Rabiel, continues to reveal a multitude of events that will shape the future of Malkiyron and Dooskiyron, the outer and inner worlds of Kiyron. His cryptic prophecies are dominated by the role of Iyr s and all the events that will become known as the Tr Halsien Zjeur. It is the time of the 2nd Augured Climacteric. All the nations of Malkiyron have moved on, with events from the 1st Augured Climacteric now considered little more than a footnote in time. The War of Deceptions is ancient history. The Banished Tribyoolien are considered little more than myth. But not everyone across the planet has forgotten. There are those who haven't slept while the world keeps turning. Their waiting is finally over. The one they've been anticipating has arrived. Raised in exile by his mother Til-Bray, one of the mythical Bayith Pir of Doothu, and educated by the multi-soul entity known as Zjuubi'iel, Iyr s' journey into the world and his destiny finally begins. If he survives his transformation during the Siyath Dooloa, and survives his own death during the final test of Nhom-Dmaar, the world will never be the same again. The Kajin Rabiel of ancient prophecy will have arrived. Be they enemies or allies, those forces aware of his pending arrival think they are ready. But how do you prepare for a person foreseen to unravel events from the end of the War of Deceptions? How do you control someone powered by the divine will of an entire planet? Or conquer an individual destined to be the conduit for a divine force even greater than that? Yasj and his family certainly have no idea. But he's suddenly, inextricably, in their lives, and they'll do whatever they can to help. Especially Yasj. Feeling trapped on his family's farm, and aching for adventure, he wants more than the restricted life he sees before him can ever hope to provide. Somehow Iyr s is key to finally understanding his own life, and more significantly his own purpose, and he'll journey wherever Iyr s goes for answers. Threads in a very large tapestry are inter-weaving, drawing people inexorably together from across the planet: young Kiyr , a child just entering her thirteenth aurb t, discovering abilities developing that she didn't think were even possible, nor what she really wants; her parents Zjolet and Diyal, each with their own secrets which are about to unravel; Zjuubi'iel weaving their own particular tapestry, one they've been progressing since the War of Deceptions; and Helier'Oasjaan, quietly manoeuvring events from Fath s, even as he attempts to comprehend the true intent of Zjuubi'iel and the unanswered questions of Lieoptay-Noot's Augurs. *** On Kiyron, the perpetual confrontations between the destructive manipulations of Ligil-Yabesj and the transformational will of Koazjuur'Iy rise and fall as they weave across the outer shell of Malkiyron, finally breeching the inner sanctum of Dooskiyron. Interlacing the chaos, threads of awakening may yet make a difference, if only the many disparate groups and individuals spanning the divides of time can recognise a deeper truth so heavily shrouded by the veils of their perception.

Volume 1 - Book 3 of the Tr Halsien ZjeurA Kiyron NovelDAWN OF THE FINAL PROPHECIESThe third in a gargantuan series of books spanning millennia. *** "And now, in the third of Lieoptay-Noot's Augured Climacterics, is the final path directly upon us, for that final door has been opened wide."Asju: Kkombinaar Yathesj to the Pir Ipr Even as Lieoptay-Noot deepens his own understanding of life and all things esoteric, through his infrequent visitations from Iyr s, he educates and guides his student Faresay-Des on the mysteries of their world and how he pierces the veil of time. He knows there is still much to learn, with yet more to reveal. He knows also, that there is much he may never reveal. But perhaps some things must remain hidden to reach their optimal conclusion. Dooskiyron. The secret heart of Kiyron. Home to those who fled their surface world of Malkiyron at the end of the Second Iraath, during the devastation of Zaurbaar's Havoc. Their path may have diverged from that of the surface survivors, but their fates remain inextricably entwined. Thesik Zlaif knows of Malkiyron. She knows all anyone could know about Lieoptay-Noot, for she has spent a very long lifetime studying him. For her it has always been no less than a lifelong obsession. Then she discovers hidden layers within the prophecies of Lieoptay-Noot. And for the first time, his augurs relate directly to Dooskiyron, alluding to individuals and events that will change the fate of everyone on the planet, both within and without. Somehow, Thesik is central to it all. If only she understood how. And why. But time is limited. VERY limited. They only have nine days to unravel what was foretold. Nine days to discover how to save Kiyron and all who inhabit it from destruction. Nine days to learn the most important lessons that their saviour Koazjuur'Iy imparted so very long ago. Nine days for Thesik to hold onto her faith in Koazjuur'Iy's words, as the world and life she thought she knew is challenged beyond all expectations. As the augurs are interpreted, with shocking new secrets being slowly revealed, unexpected allies gather. Many have been summoned from across a divided world. Androids. A Nktlifl Seer. One of the Bayith Pir . One of the elusively alien Zos Taurzjlaas. Even the unfathomable Tabitiyt race are in attendance, and they may be central to the biggest surprise of all. Why else would they so unexpectedly make their presence more known? Meanwhile, on Malkiyron, war is coming, with an enemy that they're failing to comprehend. They could be central to these new predictions. An enemy determined to subjugate or destroy all of Kiyron, inside and out. Defying every efforts and all expectations, their power is spreading. But how can you win a war if you don't even know your enemy? And how do you trust your allies when they don't reveal all they know? *** On Kiyron, the perpetual confrontations between the destructive manipulations of Ligil-Yabesj and the transformational will of Koazjuur'Iy rise and fall as they weave across the outer shell of Malkiyron, finally breeching the inner sanctum of Dooskiyron. Interlacing the chaos, threads of awakening may yet make a difference, if only the many disparate groups and individuals spanning the divides of time can recognise a deeper truth so heavily shrouded by the veils of their perception.
