Gay love poetry has enriched and enlivened our culture for more than two thousand years. This wide-ranging collection includes a generous selection of work stretching from classical times — Homer, Virgil, Catullus, Martial — to contemporary writers such as Edwin Morgan, Thom Gunn and Gregory Woods. The English Renaissance is richly represented, both by the major figures of Marlowe and Shakespeare and by less well-known but intriguing poets such as Barnfield and Drayton. The nineteenth century provides vital poems by Tennyson, Whitman and Wilde. Essential European texts, from Michelangelo to Verlaine, are given in translation. Many poems, by both new and established poets, appear here for the first time in book form. Gay Love Poetry is arranged thematically, whether focusing on the pastoral and elegiac, on different aspects of the gay life or on poems which may not have been conceived as gay love poetry by their authors but which have certainly been perceived as such by their readers. The result is above all a collection of marvellous poems, one which makes a compelling case for the central place of gay writing in our literary culture. Views: 145

Praise for Tracy’s romantic thrillers:
If you love a suspense filled romance, then definitely grab a copy
It’s a great read that will keep you in your toes and wanting to read more from the author.
Breathless,intoxicating,wonderful! Fulfills its promise! Read it in one sitting.
Non-stop adventure/suspense and a great love story, and as always, her secondary characters are well-drawn and memorable. I was truly sorry to come to the end, even though the story's tension had kept me reading as quickly as possible.
I love when an author can keep you turning the pages furiously and trying to read ahead, LOL!
Once again Ms. Cooper-Posey pulls the reader in immediately with her fast-paced romantic suspense.
A delightful blend of romance and suspense that with each page turned seems to hurtle along at full throttle holding the reader captive and with each twist and depth of emotion turns something ordinary into the unforgettable and impossible to put down.
It has everything -- action, suspense, surprises, romance! I could really see the scenes unfolding on a screen.

At the office of Safe Steps, Victoria's dedicated 24/7 family violence response call centre, phone counsellors receive a call every three minutes. Many women are repeat callers: on average, they will go back to an abusive partner eight times before leaving for good.'You must get so frustrated when you think a woman's ready to leave and then she decides to go back,' I say.'No,' replies one phone counsellor, pointedly. 'I'm frustrated that even though he promised to stop, he chose to abuse her again.'Women are abused or killed by their partners at astonishing rates: in Australia, almost 17 per cent of women over the age of fifteen – one in six – have been abused by an intimate partner.In this confronting and deeply researched account, journalist Jess Hill uncovers the ways in which abusers exert control in the darkest – and most intimate – ways imaginable. She asks: What do we know about perpetrators? Why is it so hard to leave?... Views: 145
