It is the month before Christmas, and Roman's class is preparing for the Christmas fete and the school pantomime. The new teacher at the helm, the awful Mr Le Salle, a flamboyant, theatrical and downright nasty piece of work, is the least of Roman's worries. He also has to contend with the most rubbish role in the panto (being a box) as well as organising the Santa's grotto stall at the Christmas fete with loose cannon Darren Gamble.

In his debut collection of poetry, H. K. G. Lowery explores a journey incorporating all the natural anxieties and pains of living, leading to an understanding of real forgiveness and redemption. From the first poem of the collection, An Ode to Father John Misty, he sets the scene touching on societal issues such as racism, homophobia, religion, addiction and consumerism. The darkness of such issues, as well as other emotional issues, are given light gradually when he journeys into the positive attributes of forgiveness, hope in the God, the wonderment of nature, self-acceptance and salvation. The collection begins to rotate towards the Sublime with A Requiem for St. Francis which holds a strong personal resonance from the time he visited Assisi in Italy. Each poem commences with an epigraph which summarises each individual poem. The final poem sees all twelve epigraphs combine into a conclusion of the collection which results in a cathartic outpouring where the delight of existence is realised. An Enquiry into the Delight of Existence and the Sublime is a personal journey, a rise from darkness to light, from despair to hope.

Un romanzo delicato e commovente che tocca nel profondo, un viaggio in treno che si trasforma in un’avventura imprevedibile come la vita stessa. Ci sono viaggi che non si dimenticano, momenti che restano scolpiti nel cuore. Come l’ultima vacanza che Martin e il fratellino Charlie hanno trascorso in un minuscolo paese sulle coste della Cornovaglia. Era estate, un’estate straordinaria, e ogni giorno i due bambini andavano al porto per vedere le spettacolari acrobazie del bellissimo delfino che con l’alta marea si spingeva nelle acque cristalline della baia. Sono passati molti mesi da allora, ma Martin e Charlie sono pronti a tutto pur di rivedere quel delfino, i suoi salti, le sue capriole. Anche a scappare di casa un sabato mattina e a percorrere quasi mille chilometri, tra avventure, fughe rocambolesche e incontri di ogni tipo. Martin adora il piccolo Charlie, sa che lui non è come gli altri bambini, che è speciale. È il motivo per cui Martin deve essere il miglior fratello maggiore del mondo e proteggerlo da tutto e tutti. Questo però non è sempre possibile, e Martin lo scoprirà proprio sulle spiagge della sua amata Cornovaglia. Dove lo aspetta, ancora una volta, l’alta marea. “Un romanzo semplicemente strepitoso. Una storia che vi farà piangere e ridere nello stesso modo.” The Sunday Timesaking.
