Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lore and Verse is the first English-language book dedicated entirely to studying poems on history (yongshi shi) in premodern China. Focusing on works by poets from the entire range of early medieval China (220–589), Yue Zhang explores how history was disseminated and interpreted through poetry, as well as how and why certain historical figures were commemorated in poetry. In writing poems on history, poets retrospectively crafted their own identities through their celebration of historical figures, and they prospectively fortified a continuous lineage for transmitting their values and reputation to future generations. This continuous tradition of cultural memory informs a poet's reception of historical figures, which in turn shapes that tradition through further intertextual connections. Lore and Verse questions the sweeping generalization of early medieval Chinese poetry as consisting mainly of exuberant images and an ornamental style—an inaccurate characterization repeated by later historians and literary critics—and it provides translations, close readings, and analyses of selected poems on history that will be useful for students, instructors, and general readers interested in premodern Chinese literature and culture.

Book excerpt: Called "the flour of Cities all," London has long been understood through the poetry it has inspired. Now poet Mark Ford has assembled the most capacious and wide-ranging anthology of poems about London to date, from Chaucer to Wordsworth to the present day, providing a chronological tour of urban life and of English literature. Nearly all of the major poets of British literature have left some poetic record of London: Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Johnson, Wordsworth, Keats, Byron, and T. S. Eliot. Ford goes well beyond these figures, however, to gather significant verse of all kinds, from Jacobean city comedies to nursery rhymes, from topical satire to anonymous ballads. The result is a cultural history of the city in verse, one that represents all classes of London's population over some seven centuries, mingling the high and low, the elegant and the salacious, the courtly and the street smart. Many of the poems respond to large events in the city's history--the beheading of Charles I, the Great Fire, the Blitz--but the majority reflect the quieter routines and anxieties of everyday life through the centuries. Ford's selections are arranged chronologically, thus preserving a sense of the strata of the capital's history. An introductory essay by the poet explores in detail the cultural, political, and aesthetic significance of the verse inspired by this great city. The result is a volume as rich and vibrant and diverse as London itself.

Book excerpt: Entangled in a world of dragons, immortals and magic where nothing and no one is what they seem, seventeen year-old Toni Avaria, must embark on a life-changing journey to save both the dragon and human race from a demon goddess and an impossible prophecy that could swallow the world in darkness. Toni has always dreamed of living among the Viaxi dragons of the legendary Zalwa Realm, a world where dragons transform from beast to human at will. And after barely escaping an unforeseen danger, arriving at the Imarie Palace of dragons and meeting Bane Stormwing, a Moon Dragon, she believes her dreams have finally come true. But there is an impending war looming over the dragons as the demon goddess, Siamai, threatens to destroy both the Zalwa Realm and the human world. Soon, Toni finds herself at the center of a century-old prophecy and discovers that only she, the Viaxi priestess, can redeem the dragon race. Now she must find the power to save herself and her companions from a world of savage death and chaos, and deliver them to salvation before her own soul is damned.
