Stay Up Late is a collection of poems of varying lengths. Most of these poems have either Science Fiction or Fantasy as the focus of their essential themes. They are all concerned with the relationships between human beings, their evolving technological world and their place in it, and beyond. These poems were written over a period of time in several different countries, and seek to comment on the human condition in an international, global context.

Gregory Edwards follows up last year's 'Rotten Rhymes' with 'We're All In the Same Boat,' another brilliant little gem of contemporary verse. Again accompanied throughout by the author's corresponding illustrations, the poems in this series seek to inspire and amuse, while at the same time asking big questions. They were created for the modern world that we live in and are thus light and lively, but seek to give a taste of parallax with the velocity. Wry comments about the modes and manner...

Here is Rotten Rhymes blundering in to blighten up your day!

This playful collection also invokes a bit of the golden age of Mad Magazine and Harvard Lampoon. Accompanied throughout by corresponding illustrations, this is a work to be thrown against the wall a few times to soften it up, then devoured with a knife and fork. Enjoy this collection of p...

This Game requires nine Counters--four of one colour and five of another: say four red and five grey.Besides the nine Counters, it also requires one Player, AT LEAST. I am not aware of any Game that can be played with LESS than this number: while there are several that require MORE: take Cricket, for instance, which requires twenty-two. How much easier it is, when you want to play a Game, to find ONE Player than twenty-two. At the same time, though one Player is enough, a good deal ...

The look of a disenchanted neapolitan violinist is the thread that connects the nodes of its existence. The magic of Budapest as a backdrop to the sinking of his illusions; yet it is precisely the ability to react to any defeat will make him a kind of skillful surfer, able to ride the waves most impressive. In this eternal resume lies, perhaps, the harmony that governs his life.

Permit me in the first place to anticipate the disappointment of any student who opens this book with the idea of finding "wrinkles" on how to draw faces, trees, clouds, or what not, short cuts to excellence in drawing, or any of the tricks so popular with the drawing masters of our grandmothers and still dearly loved by a large number of people. No good can come of such methods, for there are no short cuts to excellence. But help of a very practical kind it is the aim of the following pag...

In a world rife with willful chaos, how can order be restored? Philosopher Thomas Hobbes’s answer, composed amid the violence of the English Civil War, revolutionized political thought. His solution was a commonwealth, or Leviathan, a body politic ruled and protected by an absolute sovereign. Its power would be dependent on the people to exchange their freedom for the security and order of a common law. Only with this social contract, Hobbes argued, can civil peace be established.A...
