A Double Act draws upon various intoxicating books - Airborne Dogs, Nutters Without Fetters, Poems of Relative Unlikelihood, their verse novel The Ferrara Poems - later filmed - and The Gutman Variations, a study of Lacan.Warning: will produce exhilaration, euphoria, general systemic excitation, scorn, weeping, laughter. Parodic, yet intense - poems terse, thoughtful, complex or pellucid, philosophical, and not unacquainted with beauty, but always sharp, always funny - A Double Act."Due perhaps to their collaborative nature there is a remarkable freedom from anxiety here. But a deal of intelligence." - Stephanie Trigg, Island"Lucid, breathtakingly, drastically reductive - like Weil, like Brecht - caring and bare-knuckled, canny and guileless, winsome and ruthless - I love these guys!" - Suzy Treister, Frieze magazine

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was an Italian poet and philosopher. He was the greatest poet of Italian literature, the greatest Western poet between antiquity and the modern era, and one of the half-dozen greatest poets of all time. It is no exaggeration to say that Dante is to Italian what Shakespeare is to English. The Divine Comedy is Dante's magnum opus. It is an epic, allegorical poem recounting Dante's journey through the afterlife, guided by the Roman poet Virgil and Beatrice Portinari, Dante's ideal woman. The Comedy encapsulates late Medieval thought on subjects such as religion, philosophy, politics, and science. The translation here given is that of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), a prominent American poet and translator. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).

Alexander Pope (1688-1744) was an English poet, best-known for his translation of Homer and other works in heroic couplets. He is the most-quoted English writer after William Shakespeare. The Rape of the Lock is a satiric poem and mock-epic, based on a scandal caused when a nobleman, Robert Petre, cut off a lock of Arabella Fermor's hair without her permission. By recounting the incident in the elevated style of Homer's epics, Pope trivializes it in the hopes of ending the schism between the two families. The Dunciad, another mock-epic, pillories many of the then-prominent but now-forgotten literary figures of the day by describing their devotion to the goddess Dulness. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).

In his eleventh poetry collection, John Jenkins displays a boldness and creative variety, across a wide sweep of subject matter, which should hold great appeal to readers. Here are poems of heartfelt emotion balanced against playful humour, plus jabs of fast wit and satirical asides, plus serious reflection on some pressing political and social issues of our times. There are also long-form prose poems, often of considerable imaginative daring, and also mini poems and shorter lyrics. Many have a lively formal balance and hypnotic beauty. Altogether, Jenkins takes us on a rich and engaging journey, into the heart of modern Australian poetry.

These poems are words expressed Love scripts and love thoughts That can withstand any task As you read them, internalize Understand them and feel them Don't try to memorize Let them be apart of you Cling on strong no letting go So one day you can be a better you To the one you love so deeply and so much A complete perfect circle made In complete awareness never out of touch Enjoy my loved shared, my thoughts My anger spared, my faults My cries aloud to the heavens above.

This very lively collection contains a wide sweep of poems, many of them prize-winning, taking readers on a remarkable journey. Some look to the past, others to the future, but all are of their time: the reverberating now. The tone is contemporary and bold, while the poet's sensibility tends to favour an eclectic inclusiveness. Uniformly, this wide-ranging and poetically engaging collection demands to be enjoyed."As striking and triumphant in current poetry as a Gauguin in a gallery of Flemish still life." - Robert Harris, generally on Jenkins' work, in Overland."There's a whole-heartedness about how he embraces the world he sees: aware of its faults, but never stinting..." - Sharon Olinka (USA) Thylazine website."The wit, language play and urbane imagery we are used to from Jenkins, as well as emotional repth and an infectious delight in language..." - Mike Ladd, reviewing Dark River in Australian Book Review."Innovative, intellectually sprightly, and artistically refreshing." - Heather Cam, reviewing A Break in the Weather in Sydney Morning Herald.John Jenkins is the author of nine collections; he also writes non-fiction, short stories, radio plays and sometimes for live performance.
