Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How should we live beyond what we can know? Every journey eventually reaches a place where the road ahead is uncertain. The traveller must choose without knowing whether the choice is right. Between Knowing and Choosing is a collection of six narrative poems that use the journey as a metaphor for some of life's deepest questions. Travellers search for home, seek truth beyond the limits of their own horizons, struggle with freedom and responsibility, confront sacrifice and doubt, weigh purpose against mortality, and finally look back upon the choices that have shaped an entire life. As the journeys unfold, the questions become increasingly personal. The travellers discover that every choice closes other possibilities, that every horizon reveals another beyond it, and that understanding often arrives only long after the road has been taken. Written in a clear, reflective style, these poems will appeal to readers who enjoy philosophical poetry and meditations on identity, purpose, memory, and choice. They invite us to consider not simply how we choose, but how we should live when certainty lies beyond our reach.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Great Zoo Weigh-In: Poems of Tricks, Treats and Tallies Inspired by the annual weigh-in at London Zoo, this delightful collection of poems celebrates the personalities, peculiarities, and hidden talents of the animals in our care. Join penguins, sea lions, ants, meerkats, monkeys, snakes, parrots, elephants, piranhas, tarantulas, giraffes, and Galapagos giant tortoises as keepers tackle the curious challenge of weighing creatures great and small. Behind every number lies a living creature with its own habits, instincts, appetites, and ways of seeing the world. Blending real animal facts with imagined antics, these poems introduce readers to the extraordinary diversity of animal life. Discover what the animals eat, how they move, where they live, and some of the remarkable adaptations that help them survive-all accompanied by inventive and often hilarious weighing methods that are part of the fun. Written for young readers of reading age and upwards, yet equally enjoyable for the adults who share them, The Great Zoo Weigh-In combines humour, wonder, and scientific curiosity in a lively celebration of the natural world. Perfect for reading aloud, independent reading, classrooms, and animal lovers of every age, this charming booklet reminds us that behind every measurement, every tally, and every statistic, there is a fascinating life waiting to be discovered.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Between Becoming and Belonging: Poems of Adventure, Love, Loss, and Longing What is a life for? Inspired by the Odyssey and the questions it leaves unanswered, this sequence of poems explores the tensions that shape human lives: between endeavour and rest, witness and belonging, longing and fulfilment, certainty and change. Through journeys by sea and desert, pilgrimages undertaken in hope, battles that alter their ground, and roads that turn where we never intended to go, these poems ask what we bring home from our travels, what remains when home itself has changed, and how we continue when the horizons we once trusted begin to recede. As the sequence unfolds, its questions widen beyond the individual to embrace the communities and societies we build together: what we honour, what we destroy, what we pass on to those who follow us, and whether we can learn to live without becoming what has harmed us before. At once intimate and universal, these meditations on adventure, love, loss, fellowship, and longing invite readers to consider not only how we live, but perhaps, of greater importance, what we live for.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Little Lives of Aegina: Poems of Curiosity, Courage, and Escape Inspired by real events on the Greek island of Aegina, these poems invite readers into the surprising lives of the animals that share our world. Meet Tito the rabbit as he wrestles with an impossible dilemma; a skink that escapes both cat and man through Earth's narrow gate; a curious cat trapped in a chimney; hooded crows drifting through light and wind above the orchards; and the much-loved community cats of Kypseli, each with its own habits, rivalries, and charms. By turns amusing, suspenseful, affectionate, and thought-provoking, these poems explore curiosity, instinct, resilience, companionship, and the small dramas of everyday existence. Though written in language accessible to younger readers of reading age and upwards, they also offer older readers gentle reflections on mortality, freedom, belonging, and what it means to be alive. Perfect for animal lovers of all ages, Little Lives of Aegina celebrates the wonder to be found in the ordinary creatures around us, reminding us that even the smallest lives may have something to teach us about our own.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A powerful poetic journey across mountains and islands, through loss and love, toward meaning.The Stars Beyond Me spans three decades of lived experience-from rock faces and glaciers to hospital rooms and Mediterranean light. What begins in the high mountains as a celebration of landscape and mountaineering gradually deepens into a meditation on memory, mortality, and the search for meaning.The early poems are rooted in climbing and ski-mountaineering: in the Lake District and Scotland, in the Alps, and on expeditions to the Andes and the Himalaya. These are poems of wind, ice, judgement, and the fellowship of the rope-where beauty is inseparable from risk, and where confronting danger brings mortality sharply into view.Then life turns.The illness and death of the poet's first wife transform outward adventure into moral trial. A promise made in fear becomes a defining act of love. The poems move from summits to hospital rooms, from physical exposure to emotional reckoning, exploring responsibility, devotion, and the limits of control.Out of loss comes unexpected renewal: a meeting on a Greek island, the return of love, and a life reshaped in luminous Mediterranean light. Yet even this is tempered by a later incurable illness, bringing the sequence full circle-back to the question first asked in a northern valley: what more could there be than natural beauty?Personal yet universal, grounded in real landscapes yet reaching beyond them, The Stars Beyond Me is a poetic memoir of mountaineering, memory, love, and acceptance. It traces a journey from ambition to perspective, from outward risk to the quiet courage required when mastery is no longer possible.It ends beneath the quiet radiance of the night sky-suggesting that what endures is love.
