It’s a good thing you found this book when you did. As it is written for you, the person who loves music and lyrics and putting the two together to create beautiful works of art. The book you are holding in your hands right now is one of the most dynamic expressions of the modern-day poet—otherwise known as a lyricist. Herein lies not just words, but words that captivate your senses, catapult your imagination, and palpitate sensations you never knew you had. These lyrical twists and turns tell stories that make you laugh, pull at your heartstrings, push your imagination to the brim of existence, and takes you on a journey to the center of your mind. Listen as a whirlwind of characters come to life before your ears and eyes. “It’s just another hungry day in our hometown of thieves, begging the blind for some sweet sunshine...” “All is lost if nothing’s found.” “She was a butterfly by day and a firefly by night” “Take me to your island before all my passion drowns” “I’ve been waiting for your lonely tides to capture seasons out of time. Fold your gentle majesty into lone soliloquies.” There are also eighty songs, inspired by Jim Morrison, and fifty songs worth of lyrics inspired by Emily Dickinson, and a tribute to others’ section. Let these musical-lyrical rhymes be your guiding light on your way toward shining your own light.

Why are most British lone mothers unemployed? And is 'welfare to work' the right sort of policy response? This book provides an in-depth analysis of how lone mothers negotiate the relationship between motherhood and paid work. Combining qualitative and quantitative data, it focuses on social capital in different neighbourhoods, local labour markets and welfare states. Criticising conventional economic theories of decision-making, it posits an alternative concept of 'gendered moral rationality', and sets up new frameworks for understanding national policy differences and discourses about lone motherhood.

Spells of Solemn Songs is a collection of poems that raises strident voices of confrontation against the bastardisation of the space on political, economic, religious and foreign fronts as well as condemns without fear the lacklustre attitudes of some apathetic figures. It further redirects minds to some ideal African ethos and humane values that engender communal and social well-being and oneness. Carved in a language so mellifluous and so unreservedly resolute, its matchless rhythimic cadence enhances easy reading, flow and comprehension while critically challenging the readers’ perception of the world around.

The seeds of irreverent humour that inspired the likes of Wayne and Shuster and Monty Python were sown in the trenches of the First World War, and The Dumbells—concert parties made up of fighting soldiers—were central to this process. Soldiers of Song tells their story. Lucky soldiers who could sing a song, perform a skit, or pass as a “lady,” were taken from the line and put onstage for the benefit of their soldier-audiences. The intent was to bolster morale and thereby help soldiers survive the war. The Dumbells’ popularity was not limited to troop shows along the trenches. The group also managed a run in London’s West End and became the first ever Canadian production to score a hit on Broadway. Touring Canada for some twelve years after the war, the Dumbells became a household name and made more than twenty-five audio recordings. If nationhood was won on the crest of Vimy Ridge, it was the Dumbells who provided the country with its earliest soundtrack. Pioneers of sketch comedy, the Dumbells are as important to the history of Canadian theatre as they are to the cultural history of early-twentieth-century Canada.

Setting a deeply personal story against the tragic sweep of European history, this is at once a touching love story, an unforgettable account of the minutiae of day-to-day wartime existence, and a tribute to the survival power of the human spirit in the darkest of circumstances. It is the story of Ilse, a German-speaking Jew born between the wars in the Sudetenland. The emotional heart of the book resides in her love for her family - both her younger sister, whom she protects and cares for in person, and her parents, whom she attempts to free from persecution in Europe - and for Fred Tisch, the celebrated songwriter with whom she falls in love.
