A land lost in the distanceThe fact that Atlantis is a lost land has made of it a metaphor for something no longer attainable. For the American poet Edith Willis Linn Forbes (1865-1945), "The Lost Atlantis" stands for idealisation of the past; the present moment can only be treasured once that is realised. Ella Wheeler Wilcox finds the location of "The Lost Land" (1910) in one's carefree youthful past. Similarly, for the Irish poet Eavan Boland in "Atlantis, a lost sonnet" (2007), the idea was defined when "the old fable-makers searched hard for a word/ to convey that what is gone is gone forever".For some male poets too, the idea of Atlantis is constructed from what cannot be obtained. Charles Bewley in his Newdigate Prize poem (1910) thinks it grows from dissatisfaction with one's condition, And, because life is partly sweetAnd ever girt about with pain, We take the sweetness, and are fainTo set it free from grief's alloyin a dream of Atlantis. Similarly for the Australian Gary Catalano in a 1982 prose poem, it is "a vision that sank under the weight of its own perfection".W. H. Auden, however, suggests a way out of such frustration through the metaphor of journeying toward Atlantis in his poem of 1941.While travelling, he advises the one setting out, you will meet with many definitions of the goal in view, only realising at the end that the way has all the time led inward.so here is "Atlantis", by the author Phillip Michael Callaghan, a collection of thought provoking poetry, filled with imagination, beneath the waves of the past, a time long gone but forever set in stone.

Humanity's interest in the heavens has been universal and enduring. Humans are driven to explore the unknown, discover new worlds, push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits, and then push further. The intangible desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know and where we have been has provided benefits to our society for centuries.Human space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system. Through addressing the challenges related to human space exploration we expand technology, create new industries, and help to foster a peaceful connection with other nations. Curiosity and exploration are vital to the human spirit and accepting the challenge of going deeper into space will invite the citizens of the world today and the generations of tomorrow to join Me on this imaginative journey of poetry and short stories into our space .

Love, The Fifth Season...."...words are said every day, they can have most profound effect, throughout our lifetime, words come and go, but the seasons that surround us always remain, each one bound by the next, summer, spring, autumn and then winter. They never fail each other, bound by natures love. "Love: the fifth season" sees a collection of words come together just like the seasons, they may mean nothing at all, but everything in the end. As time passes from "Morning Blue" the first sunrise, through "Days Unknown" and into "Autumn Stars" The cold light of "This December Day" and the warm embrace of "Lullaby".Including Foreword By Phillip Presswood...A collection of lyrics and poems with a collaboration of music from Phillip Presswood( search Love: the fifth season to hear the music)
