A broken heart still loves unconditionally. Even though it gets cautious, it never runs out of love. A broken smile still tries to reassure everyone that everything is fine. Even though your mind is in pieces, it never lets those feelings of being lost and hurt through. A broken home still hopes that it will all be okay. Even though times are tough and there is no one around, it never gets too cold in those times when you are somewhere between a broken place and your safe haven. A broken soul still heals, given time. Even though it tests your patience, it never stops you from your redemption. Beautiful Carcass is a collection of coming-of-age poems. It is a reminiscence of a young girl as she sees a few faces of love, how she has her heart and soul broken, and how she eventually picks herself up again and creates a warrior out of the broken pieces to fight battles with the ugly side of life. It is the journey of acceptance of an innocent mind that not everything is unicorns and rainbows, but it is okay. Not everything has to be.

Poetry. "A town is a tin of children in an ocean," writes Anna van Valkenburg in her debut poetry collection, QUEEN AND CARCASS, a rich, unpredictable, and deeply surreal exploration of identity and the multiple contradictions we each embody. These poems, set in locations real and imaginary, magical and banal, inhabited by figures out of Slavic folklore and a Boschian landscape, strive to unearth truths, especially those that are difficult or uncomfortable, using Bertolt Brecht's maxim "Do not fear death so much as an inadequate life" as a touchstone. At once ecstatic, meditative, and grotesque, the poems in QUEEN AND CARCASS confront some of the most fundamental existential questions.

By the age of eight, Charlotte Brontë had lost first her mother and then her two older sisters. Later, in a second wave of deaths, her brother and two younger sisters died, leaving her a sole survivor. With subtlety and imagination, Robert Keefe examines Brontë’s works as the creative response to these losses, particularly the loss of her mother. Terrified and yet fascinated by death, struggling with guilt, remorse, and a deep sense of rejection, Charlotte Brontë found in art a way to come to terms with death through its symbolic reenactment. In her earlier writings she created a fictional world marked by devices that allow her to control or deny death. In her later works these mechanisms evolved into mature expressions of a profound psychological reality. Brontë’s preoccupation with death is seen in her fiction in the recurring patterns of separation and exile. Keefe traces the development of these motifs in the juvenilia and the four novels: The Professor, Jane Eyre, Shirley, and Villette. Unique in its emphasis on the maternal relationships in Brontë’s life and art, this study also explores certain aspects of her life that have often puzzled biographers.

Why do some people succeed and others fail under the same conditions and circumstances? Put in another way, why do some people with limited resources, opportunities and potentials fare better in life than others who seemed to have it all? What accounts for the difference between successful people and ordinary people, between successful companies and the also-rans, and between successful nations and kleptocracies? In The Difference, Leadership Coach and Strategy Consultant Dr Maxwell Ubah writes that successful people are not different from ordinary people; they only do things differently. Using an ancient parable between an entrepreneur and his three employees, he identified ten principles of success that set successful people apart from ordinary people. Dr Ubah Maxwell has hit a home run with The Difference. It challenges individuals to leave the beaten path of mediocrity and live a life of personal significance. I strongly recommend it to all who desire to achieve the extraordinary with their lives. Sonny Allison, founder/director, Red Star Express Plc. Dr Maxwell Ubah has packaged a little dynamite that could blow off the shell shielding success. Or put more appropriately, The Difference is a roadmap to success and fulfilment in life, as long as were ready to blow off the lid. Simon Kolawole, editor, Thisday (newspaper)

Journey through these abysses, reader. Make yourself available to the paladin. Walk to the threshold and open the door. Here youll find pain, sin, redemption, debauchery, vulnerability, subtlety, solitude, addiction, and the mysticsof course, everything pliable to the human heart. Use your senses to understand the ideas of the beast. These are also visions of my phantasm, but very much so accessible real realms to the senses. Real poetry either soars to the heavens or plummets through the earth. Poetry is violent and apocalyptic. I know none other as sure.
