DOWNLOAD EBOOKA darkly humorous new collection of poems by the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Wideawake Field and Amity and Prosperity If Men, Then, Eliza Griswold’s second poetry collection, charts a radical spiritual journey through catastrophe. Griswold’s language is forthright and intimate as she steers between the chaos of a tumultuous inner world and an external landscape littered with SUVs, CBD oil, and go bags, talismans of our time. Alternately searing and hopeful, funny and fraught, the poems explore the world’s fracturing through the collapse of the ego, embodied in a character named “I”—a soul attempting to wrestle with itself in the face of an unfolding tragedy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe First World War was the biggest conflict in Irish history. More men served and more men died than in all the wars before or since that the Irish fought in. Often forgotten at home and written out of Irish history, the Irish soldiers and their regiments found themselves more honoured in foreign fields. From the first shot monument in Mons to the plaque to the Royal Irish Lancers who liberated the town on Armistice Day 1918, Ronan McGreevy takes a tour of the Western Front. At a time when Ireland is revisiting its history and its place in the world, McGreevy looks at those places where the Irish made their mark and are remembered in the monuments, cemeteries and landscapes of France and Flanders.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK[Illustrated with 47 paintings and photos] Walter Hale was a man of many talents - actor, writer, artist and war correspondent - before his life was cut short by cancer in 1917. It is fitting, however, that he was able to visit the front lines of the Western Front during the First World War, for the sights and stories that he recorded with pen, camera and paintbrush were well worth recording. That he was in the right time and place he put down to good luck; however, it seems only fair to record that he seems to have made his own luck on what would be a hard driven tour of the beleaguered front. As the author confirms in his introduction, his work is not a military history, but a portrait of the people, places, buildings and landscapes of Northern France and the effect of war on them.
