The Golden String and Other Poems - John Moses - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Golden String and Other Poems - John Moses - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Lockdown was a wretched time for large numbers of people as the pandemic we know as Covid swept through the land. John Moses was the first to offer an apology for his delight in the space and time that lockdown gave him to write a number of poems which form the basis of this collection. It had long been his hope that the poetry he had discovered for himself might encourage him to write in a very different way from all he had previously done. He had come to see that poetry matters. But why? What is so special about it? Can it really capture the light and the darkness, the laughter and the tears, the height and depths of the human story? This book enables the reader to enter the mind and the experience of the writer. His use of free narrative verse allows him to explore every poem as a conversation with himself, with all who might read the book, and hopefully with God. Taking his cue from William Blake, he uses The Golden String as the centre piece of all he has to say.

Immigrants turned activists - Simone Battiston - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Immigrants turned activists - Simone Battiston - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

What do Australian celebrity chef Stefano de Pieri, former Labor state MP Giovanni Sgrò, and the late SBS Italian Radio host Umberto Martinengo have in common? They are all Italian immigrants who became political militants, along with several hundreds more, in left-wing organisations and parties before or throughout the 1970s in Melbourne, a key period of Australian political history in the post-Second World War period. This book offers a unique insight into the life trajectories of politically active Italian immigrants and their left-wing grassroots organisations. It does so in the light of fresh archival data and a string of oral accounts gathered from former and current members and collaborators of leading left-wing organisations, such as the Italian Federation of Migrant Workers and Their Families (FILEF). This study, which portrays successful pro-migrant lobbying as well as organisational failures and political sectarianism, is a telling example of the political potential and limits of immigrant activism in Australia.

Searching for My Shangri La - John Staniland - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Searching for My Shangri La - John Staniland - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Searching for My Shangri La is the author’s second of book on the region, after Midlife Meanderings in SE Asia . It is about continuing an independent and unstructured journey through this fascinating part of the world on a shoe-string budget. Largely using public transport, the author travelled from southern Thailand to Malaysia to explore the islands of Langkawi and Penang. A boat then took him across the Straits of Malacca to Medan, the capital of Indonesia, which is to the north of the large island state of Sumatra. After an exhilarating, and often uncomfortable, journey southwards, he found himself opposite Singapore and needed to take a ferry across to this city-state to continue his journey by air to Hong Kong. After a thorough exploration of this former British Colonial outpost, a fast ferry took him on to Macau. A couple of days are then spent in this exhilarating former Portuguese colony preparing to explore southwest China and a comprehensive voyage of discovery of the Yunnan Province to the edge of the Himalayas. Returning to Thailand meant undertaking a bizarre journey down the Mekong, flanked by Burma and Laos. Once reacquainted with northern Thailand there were a few days before it was time to head to Bangkok for the flight back to the UK.

Hannah and Soraya's Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip Across Americ - James Ward - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Hannah and Soraya's Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip Across Americ - James Ward - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

“PRE- OR POST-TRUMP? It made a difference. America wasn’t the land of Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses any more. So people said. Mind you, that wasn’t just the USA. It was the whole world.” Hannah and Soraya are in the business of making rock music with a social conscience. The way Britain currently works, that means they’re ‘snowflakes’, ‘social justice warriors’, ‘virtue signallers’. They’ve learned to live with the mudslinging, but not happily. Worse than that, it’s starting to overwhelm them. Then, out of the blue, they suffer a string of personal and professional crises. Their solution? A change of scene designed to keep the lid on a looming family cataclysm and draw artistic inspiration from the pre-musical roots of rock (but without the Beats’ misogyny, plus in an eco-friendly car). Hannah and Soraya’s Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip across America is about family, friendship, human mortality, the siren call of social media, celebrity vs. anonymity, creative integrity, true love, drugs ‘n’ alcohol, literature, sexuality, the ‘special relationship’, what it means to be a millennial, what kind of world Generation Y is set to inherit, the very meaning of life itself in the 21st century. Amongst other things.
