The poem begins with the speaker introducing himself in a quite unusual way. He has walked until the stars are gone and conclude his wanderings by laying down beside another ghost.Īnd through the cavernous slaughter-house, In the second half of the poem, the peaceful imagery has come to an end, and the speaker describes the turmoil he feels as night ends. Additionally, he says that his eyes are like the reflections of lights in the water of the Thames. He still feels things, and his skin is cold to the touch. He continues on to state that while he may be a ghost, he is not without physical form. He considers himself to be “the shadow” that walks and lives there. The poem begins with the speaker stating that he is in fact a ghost, and spends his nights walking the “wharves” and “slaughter-house” around Shadwell Stair. ‘ Shadwell Stair’ by Wilfred Owen describes a haunted track of docks in London and the emotional turmoil of the ghost that frequents them.

What’s funny is that we’re still in partial lockdown in Jakarta as the vaccine rollout is going pretty slowly due to supply issues, so in terms of daily life, 2021 hasn’t been that different from The Year Which Shall Not Be Named. How is your 2021 going in comparison to that other year? My hobbies include…psych! I don’t have hobbies because all my time is spent writing or looking after my two little ones, lol. I’m an Indonesian writer living in Jakarta with my ridiculously huge family. Hi! I’m Jesse, author of Dial A For Aunties and the YA thriller The Obsession. We chat with Jesse about her latest release Dial A For Aunties, releasing her first two published novels in the space of a few months, writing, book recommendations, and more! Hi, Jesse! Can you tell our readers a bit about yourself? Dial A For Aunties is a hilariously quirky novel that is equal parts murder mystery, rom-com, and a celebration of mothers and daughters as well as a deep dive into Chinese-Indonesian culture by author Jesse Q. Jeffrey Nguyen on designing Galloway's Justice. I try to create a cover that can sit within its genre while being striking and unique. I wanted the use of integrated photography, lettering, and illustration to make a compelling design. I chose to create an empty silhouette shape on top of a photograph to portray a missing piece. Designers who succeed often play it against the cover typography (as in David Nicholls’ Us) or make the silhouette itself exceedingly arresting (as in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian.)įor Galloway’s Justice, it was important to convey a mysterious tone and the idea of a missing girl. It’s so common that it can be tough to make it original these days. That said, you could say that the silhouette is a victim of its own nebulous triumph. Who wouldn’t glimpse a shadowy figure and automatically go, “Who’s THAT?” There’s a reason why it’s so ubiquitous on covers: it’s really, really effective at getting a reader’s attention.

MMT, as Kelton shows, shifts the terrain from narrow budgetary questions to one of broader economic and social benefits. Kelton busts through the myths that prevent us from taking action: that the federal government should budget like a household, that deficits will harm the next generation, crowd out private investment, and undermine long-term growth, and that entitlements are propelling us toward a grave fiscal crisis. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country. Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory - the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades - delivers a radically different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society.

It is infused with bruised, loving and confused humanity. The most staunch of atheists would find inspiration and, if I may use the hackneyed phrase, life lessons in its pages. If I had a teacher like Ã? Tuama, I might have kept my soul's wagon hitched to Jesus, instead of switching to Buddha.

Interweaving everyday stories with analysis, gospel reflections with mindfulness, and Celtic spirituality with poetry, this book explores the practice of welcoming as a spiritual discipline. "Hello," he said, welcoming people locked in a room of fear to a place of deep encounter encounter with themselves, with their fear, with each other, and with the incarnate one in their midst. He does not chide or admonish instead he says "Peace be with you," which, in the Aramaic of his day, was simply a greeting. The fourth gospel tells of Jesus arriving in the room where the disciples are gathered, full of fear, on Easter Sunday. There's an old Irish proverb: "It is in the shelter of each other that the people live." This book applies ideas of shelter and welcome to journeys of life, using poetry, story, biblical reflection, and prose to open up gentle ways of living well in a troubled world.
