Sometimes described as the literate cousin of the Limerick, the
Clerihew has attracted and inspired writers from GK Chesterton and
Gavin Ewart to Craig Brown. WH Auden once wrote an entire book of
Clerihews. Invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956), the
Clerihew is a childish anti-panegyric, flat-footed, Hudibrastic,
eponymous quatrains designed to lower the tone and cut everyone down to
size. The Call of the Clerihew brings together fifty contemporary
exponents of this ridiculous form, including Ian Duhig, WN Herbert,
Jacqueline Saphra, Martin Rowson, Katy Evans-Bush, Michael Rosen and
Tim Turnbull, cocking a snook at the great and the good, the important
and the self-important, the religious and the royal, despots and
detectives, poets, philosophers and politicians.
Whaleback City is a unique anthology of poems inspired by the city of Dundee and its surroundings. In it you will find poems about the city, its history, its architecture and its landscape. There are poems spanning six centuries, capturing the spirit and temperament of its people, both celebrated and ordinary. Poets range from Sir Walter Scott and William McGonagall through to contemporary voices such as Douglas Dunn and Don Paterson. The poems themselves speak of subjects as diverse as the Tay and its bridges, the Jute industry, Liz McColgan, the People's Friend, Dens Road Market and a hundred other things that are uniquely Dundonian. Whether you love poetry or you love Dundee, this is a very special collection saluting Scotland's most industrious and enterprising city.

A failed suicide attempt at age eight left Ingrid with a broken arm but a healing heart. "I didn't die that day, but I wanted to. My mother had tried to sell me again," declares Ingrid Reeves, recalling her dark, desperate youth as the only white child in a mixed-race family. Ingrid lived to triumph over hate, hardship and prejudice. As a wife and mother, the contemporary pioneer woman lived without electricity for twelve years, carving out a Circle of Love sanctuary on a remote mountain in the California wilderness. For thirty years, she wore a hard hat, bravely working in a danger zone by her husband's side to build a business. Today, Ingrid invites you on an amazing journey to a land of bubble magic, beauty and rich bounty. Don your pink hard hat, dive into adventure and taste the sweet nectar of success!
