Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How should we live beyond what we can know Every journey eventually reaches a place where the road ahead is uncertain. The traveller must choose without knowing whether the choice is right. Between Knowing and Choosing is a collection of six narrative poems that use the journey as a metaphor for some of life's deepest questions. Travellers search for home, seek truth beyond the limits of their own horizons, struggle with freedom and responsibility, confront sacrifice and doubt, weigh purpose against mortality, and finally look back upon the choices that have shaped an entire life. As the journeys unfold, the questions become increasingly personal. The travellers discover that every choice closes other possibilities, that every horizon reveals another beyond it, and that understanding often arrives only long after the road has been taken. Written in a clear, reflective style, these poems will appeal to readers who enjoy philosophical poetry and meditations on identity, purpose, memory, and choice. They invite us to consider not simply how we choose, but how we should live when certainty lies beyond our reach.

Neuware - The Great Zoo Weigh-In: Poems of Tricks, Treats and Tallies Inspired by the annual weigh-in at London Zoo, this delightful collection of poems celebrates the personalities, peculiarities, and hidden talents of the animals in our care.

Perfect for reading aloud, independent reading, classrooms, and animal lovers of every age, this charming booklet reminds us that behind every measurement, every tally, and every statistic, there is a fascinating life waiting to be discovered. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Between Becoming and Belonging: Poems of Adventure, Love, Loss, and Longing What is a life for Inspired by the Odyssey and the questions it leaves unanswered, this sequence of poems explores the tensions that shape human lives: between endeavour and rest, witness and belonging, longing and fulfilment, certainty and change. Through journeys by sea and desert, pilgrimages undertaken in hope, battles that alter their ground, and roads that turn where we never intended to go, these poems ask what we bring home from our travels, what remains when home itself has changed, and how we continue when the horizons we once trusted begin to recede. As the sequence unfolds, its questions widen beyond the individual to embrace the communities and societies we build together: what we honour, what we destroy, what we pass on to those who follow us, and whether we can learn to live without becoming what has harmed us before. At once intimate and universal, these meditations on adventure, love, loss, fellowship, and longing invite readers to consider not only how we live, but perhaps, of greater importance, what we live for.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Little Lives of Aegina: Poems of Curiosity, Courage, and Escape Inspired by real events on the Greek island of Aegina, these poems invite readers into the surprising lives of the animals that share our world. Meet Tito the rabbit as he wrestles with an impossible dilemma; a skink that escapes both cat and man through Earth's narrow gate; a curious cat trapped in a chimney; hooded crows drifting through light and wind above the orchards; and the much-loved community cats of Kypseli, each with its own habits, rivalries, and charms. By turns amusing, suspenseful, affectionate, and thought-provoking, these poems explore curiosity, instinct, resilience, companionship, and the small dramas of everyday existence. Though written in language accessible to younger readers of reading age and upwards, they also offer older readers gentle reflections on mortality, freedom, belonging, and what it means to be alive. Perfect for animal lovers of all ages, Little Lives of Aegina celebrates the wonder to be found in the ordinary creatures around us, reminding us that even the smallest lives may have something to teach us about our own.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Aegina in Stone and Light is a sequence of lyrical poems set on a small Greek island whose history stretches from deep geological time to the present day. Moving across its shores, terraces, harbours and hills, the poems approach Aegina through its landscape-natural and built-its people, and the quiet recurrences of daily life. In these visible forms lie layered traces of earlier worlds: memory held in stone, path, wind and water.Across centuries the island has been shaped by geology and climate, by trade and empire, by war, abandonment and return. These forces have left their mark not only on the terrain but on those who inhabit it. The poems follow these interwoven histories, attentive to how human action meets larger currents of time.At the scale of individual lives, choice and responsibility remain central. At broader scales, change unfolds through accumulation, contingency and constraint. The island becomes a lens through which to consider how societies endure-formed both by deliberate acts and by circumstances beyond their control.Themes of continuity and fragility run throughout. Belonging emerges not as possession but as participation over time. Survival requires adaptation; endurance carries both cost and dignity. Human presence moves within rhythms that cannot be mastered, where meaning arises through attention rather than control.Taken together, these poems offer a meditation on place, memory and responsibility-on how landscapes carry what has preceded them, and how we live within limits that are never entirely of our own making.This book forms part of the Greek Continuum-a wider poetic chronicle of Greece's past and how it shaped modern Greece.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - These poems follow the Greek Revolution of 1821 against the Ottoman Empire from its first spark to the moment a nation emerged from fire.A Dream Forged in Fire is a cycle of lyrical poems about the Greek War of Independence and the birth of modern Greece.Drawing on historical events, personalities, and landscapes, the poems trace the struggle from its uncertain beginnings to the turning points that reshaped Europe. They move from the uprising of 1821 to important moments such as the Battle of Navarino, and the fragile birth of the new state under Ioannis Kapodistrias. Figures such as Theodoros Kolokotronis, Lord Byron, and Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt appear alongside priests, sailors, merchants, and fighters whose lives were drawn into the uprising and centuries of Ottoman rule in Greece. The poems evoke moments that became symbols of the war-Chios, Psara, Missolonghi, Mani, and the campaigns of the Peloponnese-as well as the wider forces of diplomacy, faith, exile, and sacrifice that shaped the outcome.Rather than a chronological history, the book offers poetic interpretations of the war's meaning: how revolution begins, how nations are imagined, and how individual courage and suffering can alter the course of history. The poems explore the roles of the Greek diaspora, the Orthodox Church, European philhellenism, and the maritime island fleets of Hydra, Spetses, and Psara, whose fireships challenged the power of the Ottoman navy.Written by an author long resident in Greece, the collection reflects a deep engagement with the country's landscape, memory, and identity. Combining history and lyrical reflection, A Dream Forged in Fire presents the War of Independence as a moment when faith, language, and imagination helped turn rebellion into a nation.Together with The Long Reckoning: Poems of Greece Since Independence, this book forms part of The Greek Continuum-a wider poetic chronicle of Greece's modern history.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Land of Myth and Memory - A Poetic Portrait of Greek IdentityHow did a recognisable Greek world survive more than two thousand years of conquest, religious change, political fracture, and the disappearance of the states that once sheltered it, yet remain connected to its past Land of Myth and Memory explores the history and cultural memory of Greece through a sequence of poems spanning deep geological time, the emergence of human memory and imagination, Greek myth and sacred landscape, the flowering of philosophy and enquiry, the coming of Christianity, and the long centuries of Roman, eastern Roman, and Ottoman rule before the threshold of the Greek Revolution. Rather than offering a conventional chronological history, the book asks how a recognisably Greek world could take shape and remain connected to an exceptionally deep past. It follows the growth of that world through place and belonging, spoken and written Greek, enquiry into the natural world and human life, and the spread of Christianity into the Greek-speaking world. The landscape of mountains, islands, fractured coasts, caves, springs, and seas forms the beginning. Myth gives meaning to an uncertain world. Tragedy confronts fate, suffering, and responsibility. Philosophy turns inherited answers into questions. Greek speech carries memory across generations, while writing allows words to endure, be recovered, and be read again. Christianity becomes deeply embedded within Greek-speaking communities and adds another enduring form of belonging. The book then turns to how that world could survive through centuries of fracture. Place, spoken language, written language, and faith become central to maintaining continuity with the past despite continual change. The Greek world is repeatedly tested. It is absorbed into Rome; the Roman world divides and turns east; the eastern Roman state contracts and falls; eastern and western Christianity draw apart; and Greek-speaking Orthodox communities continue under Ottoman rule. Nothing survives unchanged. Yet enough remains for later generations still to recognise the past as theirs and, eventually, for revolution to become imaginable and increasingly possible. Combining poetry with historical and interpretative notes, Land of Myth and Memory is not simply a history of Greece in verse. It is an exploration of cultural continuity: how a people may remain connected to their past even as what they carry and the world around them change.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two centuries of Greek history-war, division, dictatorship, and the struggle for democracy. The Long Reckoning traces the turbulent path of Greece since independence through a sequence of poems that confront the nation's defining trials. From the fragile early years of the modern state to the crises of the twentieth century and beyond, these poems move through the events that shaped Greece: the national schism, wars of expansion and catastrophe, occupation and resistance during the Second World War, the Greek Civil War, and the long shadow of military dictatorship. In 1974, with the collapse of the junta and the rejection of the monarchy, Greece chose its own constitutional path as a democratic republic. Yet new challenges followed, including political instability and the pressures of economic crisis. Alongside these upheavals stand the voices of Greece's great cultural witnesses-poets, musicians, and artists whose work carried memory and conscience through years of conflict and change. Written in lyrical prose and narrative poetry, The Long Reckoning blends history and reflection to explore how a society confronts its past, and how the pursuit of freedom continues across generations. Together with A Dream Forged in Fire: Poems of the Greek War of Independence and Later Struggles for Freedom, this book forms part of the Greek Continuum-a wider poetic chronicle of Greece's modern history.
