The Story of a Boy, a Girl, a Quest, and a Dragon Geoffrey's Queen is a non-stop adventure that will grab your heart and demand your full attention. When an American woman finds herself in a world where dragons once roamed the skies, she teams up with the one man she knows. A man who doesn't know her. When the orphaned prince of Kaveg finds himself in a world with one moon and no magic, he teams up with a woman he knows. But Nanda doesn't know him. Whether a prince or a nobody, everyone searches for a reason to live. Nanda and Geoffrey find one. And then they lose it. A complex tapestry of true love woven from action, drama, horror, and destiny told through two separate journals, reveals the secret truths behind the legend of how Geoffrey and Nanda met and saved Kaveg. To find out more about Kaveg and why the dragons are sleeping, read Hardt's Tale.
The work of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016) often provokes bemusement or even hostility; however, he was often referred to as ‘the greatest living poet’ and variants thereof. Oxford Professor of Poetry from 2010-2015, Hill published in 2013 his collected poems, Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952–2012, which included four previously-unpublished collections and substantial expansions and revisions of existing works, and in 2008 published his Collected Critical Writings, a volume comprising all his published criticism and two new major collections of essays, Inventions of Value and Alienated Majesty. This book sets this later work – from 1996 to 2016 – in its contexts. Providing exegetical and interpretive readings of this work, it reflects, and refracts, its dazzling radiance, setting it within its literary, cultural, intellectual, and historical contexts, and bringing it to specialists on Hill and modern poetry and to a wider audience.

The idea of the end is an essential motivic force in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932–2016). This book shows that Hill’s poems are characteristically ‘end-directed’. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's poetry.This is the first book on Hill to take account of his last works. It is a significant contribution to the study of Hill's poems, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value: what are its ends and where does it wish to end up?
Captain Frank Gaffrey is fighting demons inside and out in this western adventure. Plagued by injuries from the Civil War, his search for a place to heal has led him to a beautiful Montana valley. Gaffrey wants to be left alone, but trouble seems to follow his every move. Whether an angry cattle baron bent on revenge for the death of his son or two sadistic trappers determined to kill him for rescuing an Indian girl from their clutches, Gaffrey struggles to outwit his pursuers and stay alive. And then there's the Grizzly, who makes it clear that anyone who enters his valley does so at their own risk. The hunters and the hunted meet in a final violent confrontation with a surprise ending.
