Oz lily morton6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Oz banks on the fact that they’re from two very different worlds to stop himself falling for Silas. He’s also warm and funny and he draws Oz to him like a magnet. An earl belonging to a family whose roots go back hundreds of years, Silas is the living embodiment of duty and sacrifice. However, when he gets there he finds a house in danger of crumbling to the ground and a man who is completely unlike anyone he’s ever met. Six months there will alleviate a bit of his wanderlust and then he can come back to London as footloose and fancy free as the day he left it. Surely managing a stately home on a country estate will be easier than navigating the detritus of his relationships at home. Bored and jobless after another disastrous hook up, he decides to leave London for a temporary job in the wilds of Cornwall. Oz Gallagher does not do relationships well. ![]() What happens when temporary becomes forever? ![]() Wh auden poetry books6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The main text presents the poems in their original published versions. The book also includes poems that Auden wrote during his adult career with the expectation that he might publish them, but which he never did song lyrics that he wrote to be set to music by Benjamin Britten, but which he never put into print and verses that he wrote for magazines at schools where he was teaching. This volume traces the development of Auden’s early career, and contains all the poems, including juvenilia, that he published or submitted for publication, from his first printed work, in 1927, at age twenty, through the poems he wrote during his first months in America, in 1939, when he was thirty-two. Edited, introduced, and annotated by renowned Auden scholar Edward Mendelson, this definitive edition includes all the poems Auden wrote for publication, in their original texts, and all his later revised versions, as well as poems and songs he never published, some of them printed here for the first time. Published on the hundredth anniversary of the year in which he began to write poetry, this is the first of two volumes of the first complete edition of Auden’s poems. Auden (1907–1973) is one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, and his reputation has only grown since his death.
