Book Description
Excerpt from Town and Country Poems For we seem to hear the cymbal and the drum Of a corybantic chorus in the hum, From a hidden stream that chatters on the stones, With a wealth of tears and laughter in its tones. And the laughter oats around us as we climb, With the hoof-beats treading out a measured rhyme, As the bridles faintly Chink a steely thrill.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Country Town: And Other Poems When the author of Ludibria Lunae and the Paradise of Birds died, in the spring of 1917, after a short illness, a hope was expressed that some record would be forthcoming of a sunny and delightful life, rich in completed work, both official and literary. But Mrs. Courthope followed her husband after an interval of a few months, and many of the friends who would have shared the interest and supplied personal memories and connecting links are already beyond our reach. Though a ready and a very graceful letter-writer, Mr. Courthope is not known to have corresponded largely with those who might have preserved his letters, on matters of general importance. His opinions on literary questions, which he consistently faced in their connexion with life and national spirit, are fully and vigorously expressed in his own books and in the many articles which he contributed to periodicals; and his feelings for all that could touch the imagination, especially for home and the life of rural England, stand out in the occasional poems, many of them written in later life, which are represented by the specimens now offered. It is only necessary to supply the framework of facts underlying a happy and a worthy life. William John Courthope was born on July 17, 1842, at South Mailing in Sussex, of which parish his father, the Reverend William Courthope, was the rector. His mother, before her marriage Caroline Elizabeth Ryle, was a sister of the first Bishop of Liverpool. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A new collection about violence and the rural Midwest from a poet whose first book was hailed as “memorable” (Stephanie Burt, Yale Review) and “impressive” (Chicago Tribune) Flyover Country is a powerful collection of poems about violence: the violence we do to the land, to animals, to refugees, to the people of distant countries, and to one another. Drawing on memories of his childhood on a dairy farm in Illinois, Austin Smith explores the beauty and cruelty of rural life, challenging the idea that the American Midwest is mere “flyover country,” a place that deserves passing over. At the same time, the collection suggests that America itself has become a flyover country, carrying out drone strikes and surveillance abroad, locked in a state of perpetual war that Americans seem helpless to stop. In these poems, midwestern barns and farmhouses are linked to other lands and times as if by psychic tunnels. A poem about a barn cat moving her kittens in the night because they have been discovered by a group of boys resonates with a poem about the house in Amsterdam where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis. A poem beginning with a boy on a farmhouse porch idly swatting flies ends with the image of people fleeing before a drone strike. A poem about a barbwire fence suggests, if only metaphorically, the debate over immigration and borders. Though at times a dark book, the collection closes with a poem titled “The Light at the End,” suggesting the possibility of redemption and forgiveness. Building on Smith’s reputation as an accessible and inventive poet with deep insights about rural America, Flyover Country also draws profound connections between the Midwest and the wider world.
