This title tells how a family survived one of the tempestuous periods in English History.

Описание:

With the death of Edward VI in 1553, England, for the first time, would have a reigning queen. The question was: Who?

Four women stood upon the crest of history: Katherine of Aragon's daughter, Mary; Anne Boleyn's daughter, Elizabeth; Mary, Queen of Scots; and Lady Jane Grey. But over the centuries, other exceptional women had struggled to push the boundaries of their authority and influence--and been vilified as "she-wolves" for their ambitions. Revealed in vivid detail, the stories of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou, and the Empress Matilda expose the paradox that England's next female leaders would confront as the Tudor throne lay before them--man ruled woman, but these women sought to rule a nation.

Описание:

Castor is a renowned musician with the band Vigil & Thieves, and presents this hardcore look into life on the road, heavy drinking, and all the bedroom music one desires. These are poems of love and all its problems, the joy of makeup after the horror of breakup, the self abuse, loyalty and the big question of what does love look like. This is an unflinching look into a queer relationship, vulnerable and brave.

"With both the warmth of nostalgia and the urgency of lust, Bedroom Music is a refreshing new breed of poetry. Steph Castor's poems burst with an eager aesthetic energy. Here, the reader is invited into one poet's road trip through memory, into landscape, dogma and generational inheritance. The lyrical and often unpredictable narrative weaves through secret lusts, confessions and cinematic meditations. One part memoir and one part poetic discourse--Bedroom Music is rigorous yet fleeting, elusive while still candid. It's an experience to read, one which draws the reader in only to breaks their heart. Perhaps it is this breaking that is a central theme in the collection--the reminder that we must break before we mend."
