Poets of all eras and ages have sought their inspiration in the vagaries of life. The concept for Walter J Wojtanik's first full poetry collection plays on these varied aspects of everyday living. From the moment we come to capture life, it becomes this passion play that waits for us to find the purpose in our years. We come to love and find love in this life and learn how to live in love with it. Explorations are made through the soundtrack of our lives, lives that are harmonious and humorous, and often taken way too seriously. It is colored by the inclusion of family and friends. Life has a definite beginning and an ultimate end. Inspired by the concept of a "Dead Poet's Society", these works of poetry peek into the window of our collective souls to find the connection that binds us together, and makes living a true adventure. The classic "dead" poets seemed to have gained a cult status many years after their passing by merely "sucking the marrow out of life" and committing it to their pages. As the title of this collection conveys, Wojtanik considers himself a humble poet once removed from being a dead poet; he is standing one step from the grave without the dread and circumstance of his actual demise. Using loving tenderness, sarcastic wit, twisted humor and heart rending emotion, Walt draws upon his personal experiences as the fodder for these verses to take that next step, still standing on solid ground... a future "Dead Poet", currently once removed.

Somme. Cambrai. Harry Arthur, and Walter. Brothers in arms, as well as life.New with photo-pictures (permissions requested) and added postscript.Walter Mepham: born 14th March 1894 killed 30th November 1917 Cambrai France: The Battle of Cambrai 1917, and the life of Walter and his family. With references to the works and words of Conan Doyle, Bertrand Russell, and Winston Churchill, through the true lives of two brothers and their family in the First World War. Walter's family, from Napoleonic Times in Kent and Sussex, England, to London, and to France and to the Western Front, 1917.Walter and his brother Harry Arthur, along with their father Mark Henry Mepham, fought with 'the other ranks' the 'poor bloody infantry' and only Harry survived to tell this story; and through him, to continue their history to the present day.The first decades of the 21st century; a hundred years since the start of the first world war where Walter and his father were killed; two hundred years since the Napoleonic Wars split Europe in bloodshed; seventy since the end of the second world war, Walter, and his brother Harry's family survive.With his brother Harry Arthur, at the commencement of the new 21st century, the Cambrai Memorial at Louverval, remembrance is made.The title and subtitle of this book are taken from the back of the postcard pictured bearing Walter's image before joining-up in 1916, and at nineteen years old enough to be sent to the Western Front; killed Cambrai 30th November 1917.Born 14th March 1894 killed 30th November 1917, this is Walter, and Harry Arthur's re-imagined by their distant cousin, the author Malcolm Stow. This is not an ordinary story. What Walter did, to be killed for his family, and country, was not remarkable. What Harry, and their mother Caroline Mepham (nee Wells) conspired to do, was treason, treachery, a capital crime throughout the first world war: desertion from post. Refusal. Conscientious Objection, and then to abscond from the field of duty.What both brothers did was for their country was to save their family from extinction. Harry by surviving. Walter By dying. And then, by remaining alive The family story continued...From the Battles of Waterloo 1815 with Walter and Harry's great grandfather to Cambrai, 1917; then through family relationships to 2017 from the new battlegrounds of Europe and the World, recounted with personal credence, with a passion for lasting peace.New with photo-pictures (permissions requested) and added postscript.M.Stow 2016.
In this incisive new work, Eli Friedlander demonstrates that Walter Benjamin's entire corpus, from early to late, comprises a rigorous and sustained philosophical questioning of how human beings belong to nature. Across seemingly heterogeneous writings, Friedlander argues, Benjamin consistently explores what the natural in the human comes to, that is, how nature is transformed, actualized, redeemed, and overcome in human existence. The book progresses gradually from Benjamin's philosophically fundamental writings on language and nature to his Goethean empiricism, from the presentation of ideas to the primal history of the Paris arcades. Friedlander's careful analysis brings out how the idea of natural history inflects Benjamin's conception of the work of art and its critique, his diagnosis of the mythical violence of the legal order, his account of the body and of action, of material culture and technology, as well as his unique vision of historical materialism. Featuring revelatory new readings of Benjamin's major works that differ, sometimes dramatically, from prevailing interpretations, this book reveals the internal coherence and philosophical force of Benjamin's thought.

Walter decides to create a new home on Mouse Island. His froggy friends live nearby, and Walter tries to teach them things. With his own island—and friends who depend on him—Walter must learn to take care of himself. There is no time to be lazy! But will Walter ever see his family again?
