Building for the Butterfly is a collection of spontaneous poetic compositions that explore themes of uncertainty and crisis, the city and nature, with immediacy and degrees of objectivity. The language and diction are bound by determinate and indeterminate symbolism and idioms.Hughes writes rapidly and fiercely, often compounding layers and countervailing juxtapositions. The collection is a verse journal examining fear, anxiety, and confusion with veracity against a backdrop of sudden change, when the writer's child was suddenly hospitalised with an undiagnosed sickness. Inspired by Ted Hughes's Moortown Diary's search for a sense of place and a fleeting glimpse of a Red Admiral butterfly that flew by during a late summer Oslo rush hour commute, Building for the Butterfly is both a remarkably tender premonition and a raw and protective healing poultice intended to be applied by being read out loud. Enjoy its bold candour and waspish reflections.

Replicas is a kaleidoscopic collection riven together with a wide range of traditional poetic forms and techniques. The vast majority of the poems have a twin. The work as a whole acts as a mosaic of mirror images, intertextual reflections and thematic refractions. The poems are a rich blend of magic and realism. Hughes is fascinated by physical, psychological and ideological boundaries, the possibilities they present, and how we navigate them. There are symbolic existential odysseys and anecdotal parables garnered from the poet's assignments as a press photographer. He is both a Romantic and a cynic, his language and ideas peppered with intimate compassion, brazen humour and playful candour. It is a spaghetti junction of a world, but to stand alone gives the individual the potential for self-determinism and hopeful curiosity.

Inescapable Insatiable Shit Happens All the Time is a collection of poetry with prose interludes by a writer inspired by poets like John Cooper Clarke, Charles Bukowski, and Gil Scott-Heron. Hughes transgresses boundaries and bastardizes attitudes, combining the guttural and humorous colloquial voices of present-day streets and bars into a knot of parallels and paradoxes. In prose narratives like Guide to the Hamartons, two friends, John Joe B. Albino and Pavo la Terriblé, meet an alcoholic Cumbrian as they flâneur around the small town. In poems like Mr. Hyper, The Coal Man, and Hermes, for example, he embodies the subjects and presents personae in the way that Fernando Pessoa developed his numerous pseudonyms. This approach creates poetic elements layered with honest introversion and pugnacity in the face of defeat. The reader is shown rituals of seeing, much the same as John Berger intimated in his 1970s book Ways of Seeing. For Hughes, a leaf has 'clouds for pillows', poetry is the 'wind passing through fences', and time is 'calm as a cathedral's echoes'. The writing flows then pinballs at tangents and complications ripe with scorn, fortitude, sassiness, and candour. Often, an enigmatic sting is in the telling, and although each endgame may resolve, 'one hip bar's like another's destiny's near or far', and there is a pervading sense that you might as well be hung for a lamb as a sheep.

Heart Like A Bonfire is a confluence of poignant tales from within a hospice company. Based on the author's 13 years as a spiritual care provider and bereavement specialist in a hospice, it explores dying, death, grief, and bereavement from several perspectives, facing these with a blend of gritty honesty and loving spirituality.As patient Ezra comes very near death, a nurse prescribes fentanyl for him as painkiller, and Ezra's son Bob objects. Bob calls for an ambulance, and Ezra perishes in the back of same. The patient Beth approaches death with fears of hell, saturated as she is with Roman Catholic guilt over her sexuality. Youthful patient Benjamin, married to devoted Mabel, pancake waitress, has a rebellious, off-color outlook on life and proceeds through the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross five stages of dying. Chaplain Richard and Nursing Aide Mona tell the story of their involvement with these, in alternating, sometimes quirky and original voices. They explore their own feelings about mortality, and the work they are doing, and describe their evolving perspectives on these characters, and five others. The others are brought in for extra color, poignancy and a sense of the context of the work of hospice.The patients and their families have their own say, as well, describing in unvarnished tones what it is like for them to be dying, or having a loved one dying.This novel evokes in a listener feelings of deep-seated emotion, as they grapple with the deaths they see emerging on the page. Also, imparted is a sense of peace over the fact that we are all facing this perennial challenge together. Insights about the nature of the death process, and the corporate nature of the American hospice industry, are shared.

This profound text is concerned with the philosophy and practice known as Kashmir Shaivism. On account of its size and scope it is a veritable encyclopedia of non-dual Shaivism.Why was the Tantraloka written? In answer to this question Abhinavagupta tells us that, although in the schools of Kashmir Shaivism there are many wonderful and important ways and methods for attaining the supreme reality, yet in his time not even one was still existing. All of those ways and methods were lost. It is for this reason that he was requested by his colleagues and disciples to create a text that would illuminate and clarify all of these ways and methods of Kashmir Shaivism. To accomplish this, Abhinavagupta composed the Tantraloka, a text, which he tells us is filled with the complete explanation of the ways and methods associated with Kashmir Shaivism. That is to say that the philosophical understanding on the level of the intellect might have been existing, but the actual practical means or methods to be used to attain the supreme reality - oneness with Universal Being - to which they all pointed was lost. Abhinavagupta was intent, therefore, to revive the true understanding of these very important teachings, to make the practices that they embodied live again. For what is the use of a map if you have no way to reach the destination? Thus, Abhinavagupta gave us the Tantraloka to remedy this situation.The Tantraloka is composed of thirty seven chapters (ahnikas). Each chapter has it's own distinct topic. In this present volume - chapter one - Abhinavagupta lays the groundwork for the rest of his Tantraloka. Here are some of the topics Abhinavagupta examines in the first chapter: - The important Masters of the schools of Kashmir Shaivism. - The differentiated perception of all the means and methods (upayas). - The difference between knowledge, ignorance and liberation. - The essence of what is to be recognized, i.e., the real object to be known. - The oneness of Shiva and His energy (Shakti). - Introduction to the means and methods (upaya) for attaining full and pure knowledge where you perceive your nature as one with the universe. - True liberation in Kashmir Shaivism. - A discussion of the four states of means (upayas).- Three variations of absorption or trance (samavesha) as mentioned in the Malinivijaya Tantra. - The contents of each of the thirty seven chapters of Tantraloka.

Letters of Abelard and HeloiseBy the late John HughesHeloise was a brilliant scholar of Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and had a reputation for intelligence and insight. Abelard writes that she was nominatissima, "most renowned" for her gift in reading and writing. Not a great deal is known of her immediate family except that in her letters she implies she is of a lower social standing (probably the Garlande family, who had money and several members in strong positions) than was Abélard, who was originally from the nobility, though he had rejected knighthood to be a philosopher.It is very surprising that the Letters of Abelard and Heloise have not sooner appeared in English, since it is generally allowed, by all who have seen them in other languages, that they are written with the greatest passion of any in this kind which are extant. And it is certain that the Letters from a Nun to a Cavalier, which have so long been known and admired among us, are in all respects inferior to them. Whatever those were, these are known to be genuine Pieces occasioned by an amour which had very extraordinary consequences, and made a great noise at the time when it happened, being between two of the most distinguished Persons of that age.These Letters, therefore, being truly written by the Persons themselves, whose names they bear, and who were both remarkable for their genius and learning, as well as by a most extravagant passion for each other, are every where full of sentiments of the heart, (which are not to be imitated in a feigned story, ) and touches of Nature, much more moving than any which could flow from the Pen of a Writer of Novels, or enter into the imagination of any who had not felt the like emotions and distresses.
