Thomas Gray (1716–71) was one of the most influential poets of the eighteenth century, and is probably best remembered today for his Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. In this biography of Gray, first published in the first 'English Men of Letters' series in 1882, poet and critic Edmund Gosse (1849–1928) delivers a sympathetic account of his subject, offering both a traditional chronological narrative of Gray's life, from his schooldays at Eton, through his travels abroad and his academic career at Cambridge (though he was appointed professor of modern history in 1768, failing health meant that he never delivered any lectures), and an analysis of his poetry. In the book's last chapter, Gosse laments the lack of recognition that Gray had received in England since his death: Dr Johnson is criticised especially for his writings on Gray - 'barren and meagre of fact to the last degree'.

"Humans are far better than most immortals I've met, both good and honorable. If you're against them, I will stand against you." High school is hard enough when you're a normal human girl. When you're a Gray elf, masquerading as a human to stay away from the King of the Black elves, it can be downright unbearable. Shayla can't remember who she truly is, or where she had been taken eight years before. An ordinary human girl is just what she believes she is. Her abilities to speak with air, stone and water have been hidden away just like she was. The trouble is, Shayla is far more powerful than she knows and the truth just will not be kept down for long. The Black King has plans for her, but Shayla has plans of her own. She has to learn the truth about herself, learn to control the magic inside her and find a way to make it through high school without the Black King finding out where she is. Easy . . . not so much. Shayla, her sister, Ben and Dorian must learn to stand together or the Black King will win and Shayla will be an immortal weapon of the Black King's revenge.
Poetic words, evocative art, and die-cuts throughout combine to explore a child's moods through color--or the lack of color--and offer a reassuring message of love and acceptance. Today I feel gray. But that's OK. Some days you may feel sunshine yellow or orange-balloon bright. Other days you're gray, or even night-sky black--like a dark scribble on a page, a storm in the clouds, or a puddle in the road. Gray is when you don't feel like yourself, or like you don't belong. But however you feel, there are big hugs (red) and loving lullabies (blue) waiting, and even the grayest sidewalk is a canvas for you to fill with the colors you choose. A tender narration from British spoken-word poet Laura Dockrill and subtle, spare artwork from former UK Children's Laureate Lauren Child offer a comforting read for young children that addresses feelings of sadness and assures them that they are never alone.
A little grouping of poems from the mind of a twenty-something, about finding space between life's blacks and whites.
"David Kettlehake's Gray is a roller-coaster ride of suspense and horror for YA fans. Follow Scout and a small group of friends as they survive a world destroyed by catastrophic flooding and a shorted life expectancy known as GRAY. Kettlehake delivers a thriller with an original plot " -Johnnie Bernhard, author of A Good Girl, How We Came to Be, and Sisters of the UndertowThe Storm was a disaster of epic proportions. Billions perished and thousands of years of civilization were destroyed, gone forever beneath a hundred feet of water. Scout, Lord, and their small group of friends are some of the few still alive. Together, they have learned how to survive in this devastated world.Until people start to change.Scout allies herself with Singer, the shy boy with the gentle soul and melodic voice. Together they must find a cure for whatever is changing normal people into mindless, murderous creatures. They quickly learn that the biggest threat to their survival comes not from the wasted world outside, but from each other. "Kettlehake refrains from filling each chapter with gory scenes reminiscent of World War Z, instead showing Scout, Lord, and their cohorts in a distinctly human light ... A stylish and compassionate tale ..." - Kirkus Reviews
Vera Mine's father is dying. She sits beside his hospital bed and watches the parade of people come and go. Only a few are his travelers, the people he holds close as he passes on. Faced with questions of meaning and mortality, Vera reflects on her life and the travelers she has encountered on the way. Finally, she understands what she, and people like her, need to experience a satisfying life and a good death, or as good as a death can be. Hopelessly insecure, she is a realist, yet fragile: unable to sugarcoat and always fighting the demons that question what she sees, what needs to be done. She struggles to speak up, change the course of events. Considers herself a coward.After her father's funeral and still mending, Vera surprises her friends and family when she sets out with great gusto on a mission to fulfill her newly realized needs and makes her home on the honeyed Greek island of Naxos.In a place where everyone is a stranger, Vera finally has the opportunity to look inward and explore her own creativity. She forges connections and is treated like an honored guest by a local family, who become part of her everyday life. But the tranquility doesn't last. She immediately falls for Demetri, the island demigod, and finds herself caught up in hurtful lies and shocking secret plans that threaten to upend the idyllic island town. Soon she will be confronted with a choice to remain, once again, on the sidelines or make a judgment and find the courage within herself to act.In her exciting debut novel, Roy weaves a brilliant narrative latticework in striking prose with measured surprises of lovely lyricism. Gray is a poignant and original exploration of doubt, humility, and judgment.Giving Back20% of all royalties from hardcover book sales will be donated to the Worldwide Fistula Fund.

“An inventive, empowered, and thoroughly entertaining twist on a classic. Gorgeous, provocative, and damn hard to put down.” -- Diablo Cody (Oscar winning screenwriter of Juno, Jennifer's Body, and Young Adult)“I can resist everything except a really clever contemporary take on The Portrait of Dorian Gray." -- David Baddiel (Best selling British comedian and author of The Parent Agency, and The Secret Purposes)"Incisive, intriguing, wickedly funny. Every bit as clever as it thinks it is." -- Mike Carey (Eisner nominated writer of Unwritten, and Lucifer)A contemporary reimaging of the classic Oscar Wilde novel, “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” Gray is a supernatural revenge thriller about an alluring but violent woman, Dorian Gray, who seeks vengeance on a cabal of powerful men who wronged her years ago; and of the straight-laced African American detective with a past of his own, who is tasked with stopping her.The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde’s only novel and one of the classics of gothic literature, is the tale of the most beautiful man of his age, who sells his soul and his conscience in exchange for eternal youth, beauty and power — and who spends his life murdering, raping and corrupting. All the time in his attic, his picture degrades and rots.GRAY takes that basic idea but flips its moral framework and gender archetypes: our DORIAN GRAY is a Millennial social media princess who drifts through the coolest cliques of NYC, breaking hearts and turning heads wherever she goes. But Dorian has secrets. For one thing, she’s a violent criminal. For another, she’s an immortal creature of magic, who commits violent burglaries and assaults some of New York’s most powerful men. 30 years ago, whilst an innocent student, Dorian was sexually assaulted by these men. In that moment that she became something both more and less than human. 30 years later, but not a day older, she’s ready for her revenge. Then Dorian meets Detective HANK WUTAN, the African-American NYPD detective assigned to stop these crimes, struggling with his own loyalties as a Black cop in the era of Defund the Police. Despite the fact that Dorian is his suspect number one, and he is effectively working for her abusers, they fall for each other, hard.GRAY takes Wilde’s classic novel and reinvents it as a tale of cathartic revenge for the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter era, a violent fantasy about how powerful, super-rich white men don’t always win, how the powerless can find justice, and about how a murderous demon and a law-abiding detective can be soul mates.
