Sometimes venting, sometimes ranting, and sometimes raving. This book takes you through three distinct styles; part inspirational, part personal feeling and part universal thought. This poetry is uncensored, uncorrupted and serious food for thought. Deep and meaningful the words capture more than her essence but share her voice. Innocent and confident at age twelve. She almost commits suicide over religion and world affairs. She was saved by angels that knew that knowledge for the sake of knowing, then teaching yourself to write and loving researching the answers would save her life. Elevation started where her life began, as a twelve-year old girl discovering the world. Troubled by life she became a writer to express her inner thoughts and emotions. In researching these thoughts for enlightenment, a life of harmony followed. Finding completion in a quest for world peace and humanity these poems share an open heart and mind. Being raised by: "Speak only when spoken to" and "Be seen not heard". She learned to express the desire to be seen and heard. The passion to be heard became habit and necessity to write. Whether by choice or chance she wrote about everything concerning life. What people said, what they didn't, and showed in body language. She watched and with that; saw a purpose. Elevation became habit and then purpose. She found freedom because the paper did not control her desires. Expression, love and desire were free to move from page to page. "By habit I wrote about the problems that which would come and go. Write through it, about it, and write a new way of seeing life." "Purpose ... it reminds me to keep writing for truth and reality. To show that life is worth a living record." The principle that she believes is "Now is now". Staying in the now and the present is the conclusion. To stay in the moment, to stay in motion and into the next moment are a perpetual motion of thought, reality and in personal poetry. Finally realizing that it is her childhood dream to be a book on the shelf, she shares the moments of her life as young person to adult. - A liberation of the three decades of the learning and feeling through these living pages.

ISBN: 1913689018

A memoir about the recovery from alcoholism, habitual drug use and mental illness, from broadcaster, and co-founder and editor of The Quietus website, John Doran. Jolly Lad is a memoir about the recovery from alcoholism, habitual drug use and mental illness. It is also about the healing power of music, how memory defines us, the redemption offered by fatherhood and what it means to be working class. “This is not a 'my drink and drug hell' kind of book for several reasons—the main one being that I had, for the most part, had a really good time drinking. True, a handful of pretty appalling things have happened to me and some people that I know or used to know over the years. But I have, for the most part, left them out of this book as they are not illuminating, not edifying and in some cases concern other people who aren't here to consent to their appearance. Instead this book concentrates on what you face after the drink and the drugs have gone.” Jolly Lad is about gentrification; being diagnosed bipolar; attending Alcoholics Anonymous; living in a block of flats on a housing estate in London; the psychological damage done by psychedelic drugs; depression; DJing; factory work; friendship; growing old; hallucinations; street violence and obsessive behaviour—especially regarding music and art.

Life is about as good as it gets for an anxious and depressed bastard stripped of any social benefits of her caste. Farzana has a cushy job, a wonderful best friend, and a mother and younger brother who love her to bits. Then the faerie who abandoned her mother before she was born—the father she always hoped to meet—returns, brutally murders the royal family, and seizes the crown for himself. That comfortable life? Shattered. Slowly but inevitably, both the country and Farzana’s life are dragged into a terrifying and lethal storm of chaos. If someone doesn’t step up soon to set things right, there won’t be much left worth saving. Farzana’s Spite is a queer dark fantasy featuring a diverse cast doing their best to stay alive during a traumatic and tumultuous period. A blend of tragedy, romance, and mystery, this story was written for anyone ever made to believe they were broken beyond repair, and who needs a story to kill that thought once and for all.
