Manufacturer's product description

First published in 1998, Geoffrey Hill's The Triumph of Love and is reissued with a new introduction by Jeffrey Wainwright as part of the Poetry Book Society's Back in Print list. "Hill, always the heir of William Blake and D.H.Lawrence, more than confirms his calling as poet-prophet in The Triumph of Love. The poem is a great and difficult moral, cognitive, and aesthetic achievement - 'a sad and angry consolation' almost beyond measure." Harold Bloom. William Logan in New Criterion wrote: "Hill's poetry is the major achievement of late-twentieth-century verse." The Triumph of Love is a passionate and thoughtful response to the horrors of World War II in poetry by turns playful, punning, scorching and contemptuous. Although set in the context of the century, it ranges widely through history, literature and art. Born in 1932 in Worcestershire, Geoffrey Hill was for many years a university teacher, both in the UK and in the Unite States. In 1996 he published Canaan. The Triumph of Love was followed by Speech! Speech! (2000), The Orchards of Syon (2002), Scenes from Comus (2005) and Without Title (2006). His Selected Poems (Penguin) appeared in 2006.

Love in Notting Hill
Review of Notting Hill (DVD) by  Spottydog11

Advantages: great film, fun actors, great location
Disadvantages: None

...Have you ever sat at work daydreaming that one day Brad Pitt (feel free to delete/add name as appropriate) would walk in , see you an instantly fall in love and that you would marry and live happily ever after? Well that's exactly what happened to Hugh Grant or should I say, William Thacker in this movie Notting Hill. William is a book store owner in a cute little part of Notting Hill. Not many people visit his store so when Julie Roberts wanders in one day he thinks all his Christmases have come at once. Julie plays the part of Anna Scott, a multi award winning actress and Superstar (much like Julie Roberts herself). At first she does not see the cute side of William. At one of their first meetings he pours orange juice all over the front of her top. The she meets his room mate, Spike, played by the brilliant Welsh actor Rhys Ifans... Read review

First Light by Geoffrey Wellum - A Compelling & Evocative Read
Review of First Light - Geoffrey Wellum by  Hishyeness

Advantages: A moving, compelling and evocative personal account of a true hero.
Disadvantages: None

...INTRODUCTION We owe an immense debt of gratitude to the service men and women who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms, none more so than to the brave ?Few*? of the Royal Air Force (RAF) who defended our skies against the sustained waves of bombers that the Luftwaffe hurled at English cities during the Battle of Britain in the autumn of 1940. (*the phrase comes from a Winston Churchill's speech made on 20th August 1940, when he said "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few ".) Geoffrey Wellum was one of those men, patrolling the blue skies in his Spitfire with his fellow pilots of 92 Squadron at the tender age of 19, an age where for many of us, the most important decision revolved around which pub to go to with our mates on a Friday night. He left school, at 17, to join the RAF two... Read review

The Herald - A True British Triumph
Review of Triumph Herald by  the_mad_cabbie

Advantages: Ahead of its time
Disadvantages: Handled very poorly. Slow.

...~ ~ When I was a teenager back in 1963, the first car my father ever bought was an old Ford Anglia in which I learned my basic driving skills. Three years later it was traded in, and a brand spanking new car arrived on the doorstep. A Triumph Herald 12/50, in lovely gleaming white, matching white colour-coded rubber bumpers, with a canvas slide-back sunroof, and to top it all, a RADIO. This was nirvana for a 15-year-old boy heavily into the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and all the popular music of the time, and a vast improvement on the old Dansette transistor radio that had sat on the dashboard of the old Anglia, which had truly dreadful reception. ~ ~ In those days cars still had to be ?run in?, and great care was taken for the first thousand miles, with no heavy strain being put on the engine, and the top speed limited (by...
