1000 tulosta hakusanalla Nicky Smith
Med sitt kärnfulla språk rör sig Nicko Smith ofta i staden med dess moderniteter. Emellanåt vandrar han bort längs en älv eller ut i skogen. Platserna får betydelse och dikterna blir till vykort, ömsom grå, kargt socialrealistiska – ömsom vackra och skimrande – kanske så som världen är.Dikter i urval är som det låter hämtade från hans tidigare sju diktverk. Här en av de avslutande dikterna:Poesin vecklas ut till en blodröd ros eller magiska kungariken Jag kan inte skriva poesi Jag kan bara dö för att återfödas i ordens paradisLäs mer om boken och Nicko Smith på www.fripress.se
Nicko Smith (född 1974) som är född i Stockholm, uppväxt i Norrland och numera bosatt i Vasa är tillbaka med sin nya diktsamling "Rollatorgnissel under den järnblå solen", som är den fristående avslutningen på den tilltänkta trilogin som blev fem böcker tillslut. Boken handlar om åldrande och döden och Nicko säger följande om sin nya bok som kan läsas fristående eller tillsammans med de senaste fyra böckerna: "Rollatorgnissel under den järnblå solen är en diktsamling som vuxit fram under åren som jag arbetat inom äldrevården. Det är min röst för alla gamla människor som sitter ensamma på sina rum med krämpor och försöker minnas livet som flugit förbi dem. Rollatorgnissel under den järnblå solen är dedikerad till alla er som lade grunden till framtidens generationer. Ni är så mycket mer än förbrukade människoruiner i ett råkallt samhälle, där bara de produktiva och konsumerande människorna tycks ha ett värde. Genom mitt diktande söker jag ljuset i era stjärnor bortom minnets raserade natt."
Järnjungfrupoesi är en diktsamling där Nicko Smith återupplever sin relation med Iron Maiden på 1980-talet. En tid när hårdrocken var underbar och farlig på riktig. En plats där musiken var så mycket mer än musik och där lyriken öppnade blicken för dramatiken.“Ännu en dag lika dramatisksom singelomslagettill Flight of Icarus”
Diktjaget i Nicko Smiths dikttrilogi har nått den avslutande delen - Evighetsnära. Här har dystopin och ångesten som genomsyrade ett julglittrande Hki Rött och det maniska sökandet i Bipolära skeppsbrott i Österbotten fått kliva åt sidan för Guds nåd.Följ med på en poetisk resa där den Heliga anden blomstrar genom poesin. En diktsamling där hallelujaropen ekar ut från Österbottniska församlingar och där himmelska blixtar slår ner över sidorna.

`This is an illuminating and topical study, which skilfully blends together theoretical and empirical analysis in search of the "citizen-consumer". It should become a key text for all with an interest in public service reform and the "choice" agenda, as well as consumerism and citizenship' - Ruth Lister, Professor of Social Policy, University of Loughborough Political, popular and academic debates have swirled around the notion of the citizen as a consumer of public services, with public service reform increasingly geared towards a consumer society. This innovative book draws on original research with those people in the front-line of the reforms - staff, managers and users of public services - to explore their responses to this turn to consumerism. Creating Citizen-Consumers explores a range of theoretical, political, policy and practice issues that arise in the shift towards consumerism. It draws on recent controversies about choice to examine the tensions of modernising public services to meet the demands of a consumer society. The book offers a fresh and challenging understanding of the relationships between people and services, and argues for a model based on interdependence, respect and partnership rather than choice. This original book makes a distinctive contribution to debates about the future of public services. It will be of interest to those studying social policy, cultural studies, public administration and management across the social sciences, as well as for those working in public services.

The Naked Hermit: A Journey to the Heart of Celtic Britain
Nick Mayhew-Smith
SPCK PUBLISHING
nidottu
Descending into the darkness of a long-abandoned hermit's cave, wading naked into an icy sea to pray, spending the night on a sacred mountain, Nick Mayhew-Smith recounts an extraordinary one-man mission to revive the ancient devotions of Britain's most enigmatic holy places. Based on ground-breaking research into the transition from Paganism to Christianity, this book invites the reader on a journey into the heart of the Celtic wilderness, exploring the deep-seated impulse to mark natural places as holy. It ends with a vision of how we can recover our harmony with the rest of creation: with the landscape, the weather and the wildlife, and ultimately with the body itself. Follow the footsteps of holy men and women such as Columba, Patrick, Cuthbert, Gildas, Aidan, Bede, Ninian, Etheldreda, Samson and others into enchanting Celtic landscapes, and learn the unvarnished truth behind the stories that shape our spiritual and natural heritage.
Britain’s Pilgrim Places captures the spirit of 2,000 years of history, heritage and wonder. It is the complete guide to every spiritual treasure, including 500 enchanting holy places throughout England, Wales and Scotland and covers all major pilgrimage routes.Produced in collaboration with The British Pilgrimage Trust, this book encapsulates the timeless quest of the human spirit to find meaning, connection and peace. Each listing is illustrated in full colour and written and presented in a way that appeals to everyone. From wild hermit islands to city-centre cathedrals alike, there is something to surprise and enlighten anyone with a sense of the sacred. 2020 is the Year of the Pilgrimage and the Year of Cathedrals, and events are being held throughout the year to mark a revival in pilgrim places, cathedrals and free-form spiritual expression. The British Pilgrimage Trust’s mission is to harness the quiet but powerful resurgence of interest in ancient ways of finding meaning and peace in the landscape.Britain’s Pilgrim Places follows on from best-selling Britain’s Holiest Places which became a 6-part BBC television series.
