Fifty poems guide the reader through an individual's story. Each sonnet is a self-contained unit in itself, but the reader travels from poem to poem through the chapters of this love relationship. The reduction to this one chosen form enhances the intensity of different perspectives, insights and periods of time. We encounter passion and burning eroticism, but also contradiction, fear, misunderstanding and everything that happens between two people in love. The author always leads us back to the basic, deeply emotional love of the 'lyrical I', and draws the reflexes of it in all openness. The haunting voice of the poet allows the reader to appreciate and feel moved. The universality of love is illustrated by complex images and historical quotations repeatedly stretched into a wider temporal and iconographic framework. Like jewels, these Classical references - transposed into the present day - shines harmoniously with the events between the two lovers in an immediate sense. The masculine pull of attraction, which unleashes the passion of the 'lyrical I, ' pulsates through the lines and rhythms of the story with ever-new erotic moments and highlights. The goals were defined by the poet himself within one of the sonnets: "Goethe said mastery of form only shows when limitation of order is gained." And he fulfills it with these brilliant works of art.

2007 was a year to remember in Australian politics. It saw the dramatic fall of John Howard and the unexpected rise of Kevin Rudd. It saw the Liberal Party buckle under the inertia of incumbency and the Labor Party find new discipline and energy. It also saw the union movement at the center of one of the most effective and powerful political campaign the country has ever seen. With unprecedented access to the key players and countless hours of confidential interviews, Peter Hartcher reveals how Kevin Rudd secretly forged his alliance with Julia Gillard to topple Kim Beazley. He exposes the way Labor's factions intimidated Rudd. He lays bare the raging, unending struggle between John Howard and Peter Costello for control of the national budget. And he explains why Peter Costello believes Howard's defeat was the greatest humiliation of any prime minister in Australia's history. "To the Bitter End" is a penetrating, riveting, and above all revealing exploration of a year when the political stakes had never been higher.

I recommend this book, without reservation "MJ Hyland, award-winning author of How the Light Gets In, Carry Me Down, This is How."The novel is a love-note, and perhaps a battle-cry, to Liverpool.

A fresh (in more than one sense) and honest new voice in fiction is extravagantly displayed in this first novel that candidly dissects modern romance. Plagued with weird parents, an underdeveloped body, and a mind on the verge of self-deconstruction, Phoebe Fine feels ill-equipped for a journey through the hardening chambers of the late twentieth-century heart. But from fifth grade and Roger Mancuso, equal parts baby Brando and court jester, through her early adult life with New Media executive Neil Schmertz, a babytalker who prefers spooning to sex, Phoebe trudges defiantly through guyland, armed with a tart tongue, and propelled by an insatiable desire to be loved.
Written by Bill Hick's lifelong friend, producer, and co-creator, Kevin Booth offers the inside story into the man who was only along for the ride for a tragically short time, yet left an indelible mark on comedy enthusiasts and freethinkers everywhere. Bill Hicks: Agent of Evolution offers a rare fly-on-the-wall insight into the life of one of Britain's most loved US comedians. Adored in the UK for his unique style of savage, hilarious comedy, the one person who knew him inside and out tells of a man whose life was just as impassioned and off-the-wall as his comedy. Even back at High School, in Houston, Texas, Kevin was Bill's co-conspirator, as they sneaked out of Bill's strict Baptist home at night, and headed for the Comedy Workshop, where at the age of fourteen, Bill was going down a storm. They virtually shared every experience – from magic mushrooms to girls, but it was their music and their vision of comedy, which bound them so closely together. Kevin produced, engineered and performed on many of Bill's recordings, and it is largely due to him, that so much of Bill's comedy is readily available on CD and video. Michael Bertin, a hugely talented author from Austin, Texas, is co-writing Kevin's fly-on-the-wall biography of Bill Hicks.
