  The Complete English Poems

  Donne created new forms of lyric, satire, elegiac and religious verse, and his independence of view, compact manner of expression encompassing conflicting moods, impassioned paradox, outbreaks of cynicism and wry humour make his work particularly appealing to the twentieth-century mind.

  Fairoz (eBook, ePUB)

  Fairoz is a book-length poetry sequence in which Moniza Alvi explores an imagined teenage girl's susceptibility to extremism. The book's fragmented, collaging narrative draws together fairytale elements, glimpses of Fairoz's thoughts, and pieces of dialogue. A folkloric representation of God and the devil acts as a wry counterpoint, touching on questions of morality. Fairoz is a powerful portrayal of human vulnerability.

  The Importance of Living

  A wry, witty antidote to the dizzying pace of the modern world. Lin Yutang's prescription is a classic Chinese philosophy of life: Revere inaction as much as action, invoke humour to maintain a healthy attitude, and never forget that there will always be plenty of fools around who are eager to be busy, to make themselves useful, and to exercise power while you bask in the simple joy of existence.
