MAURI DORBEK: Ma ei ole kirjanik ega pea ennast loomeinimeseks. Pole elus ühtegi päevikut pidanud, blogipostitust teinud või luuletust kirjutanud. Kogu see lugu, ca 300 lehekülge, sai kirja pandud sellepärast, et mul oli valus. Kannatamatult valus! Praegu, kui ma seda lugu ise loen, siis näen, et see on lugu armastusest! Armastusest minu ja Kristi vahel, armastusest, mida meie pere ja lähedased pakuvad. Terapeut, kelle juures käisin, soovitas kirjutada. Ütles: Kirjuta endast kõik välja. Oma kõige madalamas punktis istusin arvuti taha ja hakkasin kirjutama, õigemini näpud vajutasid klaviatuuril neid nuppe, mida emotsioon välja lasi. Aju ei sekkunud. Ma ei lasknud. See kõik on tulnud otse valuallikast. Ehe ja aus! Võib-olla ehk liigagi, vabandan selle eest juba ette. Mingil hetkel jagasin oma kirjutatut mõne olulise inimesega, kes andsid mõista, et see lugu peab kaante vahele saama. Äkki keegi leiab siit abi, kasvõi üks inimene? Võibolla saab tähelepanu tõmmata teemadele, mis varasemalt on olnud pigem tabud? Võib-olla õnnestub selle kaudu rohkem inimesi aidata? Kui sa mitte midagi ei tee, siis midagi ka ei muutu. Olen tänaseks elus kaotanud palju, väga palju. Olen kaotanud suure tüki endast, oma hingest, oma südamest, oma elust. Minu lapsed on kaotanud enda looja ja teerajaja. Kas on raske? On muidugi! Kas läheb kergemaks? Arvan, et läheb. Aeg parandab haavad kui perses ütlemine see on? Aga jah, pean tunnistama, tundub, et kahjuks ja õnneks toimib! Kuidas aeg meiega edaspidi käitub, ei tea keegi. Mis on aga oluline elu läheb edasi ja mul on siin maamunal veel palju vastutust võtta, palju kogeda. Olen megatänulik selle 18 aasta ja meie kolme lapse eest! Igatsen sind, kallis Kristi! Oled armastatud. Autorid: Mauri Dorbek

On March 6th 1984 miners at Cortonwood Colliery in Yorkshire went on strike. Six days later, on March 12th, NUM President, Arthur Scargill, made the strike official across Britain. And so began the UK’s biggest strike since the General Strike of 1928. It ran for almost a year until March 1985 - a year of bitter conflict between the miners and Margaret Thatcher and her government and marked the end of the mining era in Britain.24 year-old Michael Kerstgens was studying photography in Germany at the time. But he had strong links with South Wales having been born in Llanelli and spending his early years there. His father had also spent twelve years working in South Wales for an engineering company involved with the mining industry. As a sixteen year old Gerstgens took a summer job at the company’s Swansea office. He also experienced the underground life of the miners at Cynheidre Colliery. It’s not surprising therefore that once Kerstgens heard about the strike he went to South Wales to find out what was going on and to start what would be his first major photography project.Kertsgens’ friends and contacts enabled him access to much that was closed off to the press and when he later moved on to Yorkshire he lived with the family of a striking miner whose wife, Marsha Marshall, was one of the leading lights of Woman Against Pit Closures (WAPC). He even met Arthur Scargill. The resultant photographs offer a powerful insight into what was a brutal strike that tore a rift through British society, entire mining communities, and even individual families.

Mycocosmic offers intricately woven incantationsprayers, hexes, and charmsall of which call for a transformation of language, grief, and the self. Good things come to you through fire, a Tarot reader told Lesley Wheeler as she was composing what became her sixth poetry collection, Mycocosmic. But how could that be true, while the planet was burning and life slamming her with one loss after another? Then she learned about pyrophilic fungi that lurk in soil until activated by fire. Enter mycelia and a teeming underground world that metabolizes death, changing what remains so that life can begin anew.Mycocosmic offers intricately woven spell poemsprayers, hexes, charms, and invocationsthat call for transformation. A parents death gives Wheeler the freedom to reveal difficult truths about family violence and her sexuality; a midlife mental health crisis transforms her sense of self. Incantatory language channeled through a wide variety of formsincluding free verse, litany, sonnets, the bref double, the golden shovel, and the villanelleempowers these shifts. Beneath these poems runs a book-length essay in verse, Underpoem (Fire Fungus], sending tendrils across the footer of each page. This poetic mycelium nourishes metamorphosis and highlights its urgency. As Merlyn Sheldrake writes in Entangled Life, Mycelium describes the most common of fungal habits, better thought of not as a thing but as a process: an exploratory, irregular tendency. Poetry is rooted in real and imagined communities and conversations. Mycocosmic demonstrates how interdependence binds us together. Autorid: Lesley Wheeler
&;Tanbûr Long-Necked Lutes Along the Silk Road and Beyond&; explores the origin, history, construction, and playing techniques of tanbûrs, a musical instrument widely used over vast territories and over many centuries. The diffusion of the tanbûr into the musical cultures along the Silk Road resulted in a variety of tanbûrs with two or more, occasionally doubled or tripled courses, a varying number and variously tuned frets, each having its own characteristic sound, playing technique, and repertory. Since the last century, tanbûrs spread beyond the Silk Road while new versions continue to appear due to changing musical and tonal demands made on them. Similar or identical instruments are also known by other names, such as saz or bağlama, dotâr or dutâr, setâr, dömbra, and dambura. This book is divided into two main parts: `The Tanbur Tradition' discusses the origin, history, construction and playing techniques of tanburs; `The Tanbur Family' focusses on long-necked lutes as a family of musical instruments. After a short introduction, the construction, playing technique, and musical traditions are discussed. Autorid: Hans de Zeeuw

Jessica Streeting and her family - sister Alice, mother Judith and father Revered Paul Farnham - move east in their ancient London taxi to the deep countryside of Norfolk. It is 1975 and the rector has a new position at the church of St Agnes in the village of Cawston. Here they find a world populated by people who embody both the ancient and new of late 20th century rural life. Children of the soil, whose parents work it and depend on it, living a simple life as old as their church. The musical ones. The clever ones. The artists, accountants, shopkeepers and publicans. Among it all, their vicar plays a role for all people; guide, educator, lighter of the way. Admired and adored he strove to buoy his congregation week after week, unwittingly mythologising himself as he went. The hole he left then, when in a moment he was ripped from the community, was vast. In this epic poem Jess revisits that place, for the first time addressing the grief she so quickly suppressed in the manner of the age. She brings to life in heart-breaking clarity the joy of a world made by industrious children and their imaginations, until unforeseen tragedy muted the colours of that golden time. With a foreword by Stephen Fry - for whom Paul Farnham played an inspirational role - Sea-Change is a book whose potency reminds us not only of the power of shared stories, but also that how they are told can make us all feel like players in their drama.
