The dreaming spires of Oxford may be one of the great educational establishments of the Centuries. But it is also a place where the Nation’s young learn much more. Within its walls, courtyards and cloisters these 10 Poets mused and illuminated on the beauty of poetry with eager yet tender words.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on the 16th October 1854 in Dublin Ireland. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890 and he then moved on to writing for the stage with Salome in 1891. His society comedies produced enormous hits and turned him into one of the most successful writers of late Victorian London. He died destitute in Paris at the age of forty-six sipping champagne a friend had brought with the line ‘Alas I am dying beyond my means’.

A great collection of short stories based on the theme of love. Stories by famous writers including Katherine Mansfield and Oscar Wilde.

Although grief is at the forefront of these poems, The Wild Delight of Wild Things is a simple love letter to Turner's late wife, poet Ilyse Kusnetz (1966-2016). The poems are also a love letter to our planet during the ongoing sixth mass extinction. Intertwining this immense grief, Turner explores the hybrid borderlands of genre, and the meditations on love and loss blur the boundaries between poetry and lyric prose. In Italian, the word "stanza" is rooted in the word "room."

The Irish are known the world over as friendly and engaging talkers with a word here and a few words there to each and every soul they meet. Their poets dazzle with talent and verse that few other nations dare compete with. What follows demonstrates why.

Wilde's first collection of verse, published in 1881, contains many poems which had already been published individually. Among the 61 poems can be found four major works, "The Garden of Eros", "The Burden of Itys", "Charmides", and "Humanitad". Although the initial critical reaction was not particularly enthusiastic, Wilde's poetry aroused enough attention for him to become the object of ridicule in the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera Patience, in which he is characterized as the "fleshly poet", Reginald Bunthorne.

"Wir waren ein halbes Dutzend Reiter, nämlich Mister Neal, mein Freund, ich und drei Neger. Unsere Aufgabe bestand darin, die Tiere dem Hause zuzutreiben, wo die für den Markt bestimmten mit dem Lasso eingefangen und sofort nach Brazoria abgeführt werden sollten. Ich ritt meinen Mustang. Wir hatten uns der ersten Herde, die aus etwa fünfzig bis sechzig Stück bestand, auf eine Viertelmeile genähert." Charles Sealsfield, ein Pseudonym von Karl Postl, war ein mährischer Schriftsteller und wurde 1793 in Poppitz bei Znaim geboren. Sealsfield stammte aus einer bäuerlichen Familie.

Our quoted authority is not the people in white coats but those with a quill, a heart and a soul that can take these feelings of love and loss and with the ink of words put to verse feelings and emotions that can be re-lived and shared by all. As they venture through depression, war, slavery to heartache and the loss of loved ones our eyes may mist and tears gently fall at what collectively we have done, have experienced, have witnessed and lost.

The ballad is one of the oldest poetic forms in English and are simply poems or songs that tell a story. Maybe it’s because of childhood associations or that we all enjoy a cracking good story told in rhyme but as this volume demonstrates, the ballad has endless appeal. We include favourites such as Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s The Ballad of the Harp Weaver, Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee as well as classics such as Sir Patrick Spens, the Ballad of Reading Gaol by Wilde and La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats.

Ein Sommer in Rom, 231 Jahre und acht Monate nach Goethe. Mit seiner Ehrlichkeit, seinem Blick für das Wesentliche und tiefer Romantik hat sich Atticus auf seinem Instagram-Account @atticuspoetry in die Herzen hunderttausender von Menschen geschrieben, er gilt als einer der bekanntesten Instagram-Poeten. In eindringlichen Worten hält er sowohl die kleinen als auch die allergrößten Augenblicke des Lebens fest: den ersten flüchtigen Blick einer neuen Liebe in Paris, Nacktbaden in einer lauen Sommernacht, während einer nächtlichen Autofahrt laut einen Song im Radio mitsingen.

Keats. A short life but a legacy of works that few, if any, can rival. And of course his end was to be tragically Romantic. Keats was returning one night to his home in Hampstead when he coughed. He coughed a single drop of blue blood upon his hand and said, ‘I know the colour of that blood, it is arterial blood, it is my death warrant, I must die’. And so it was that tuberculosis took its slow, devastating hold.

En 1891, Oscar Wilde aide un jeune étudiant d'Oxford, Lord Alfred Douglas (Bosie), fils du Marquis De Queensberry et entame une relation avec lui. Le père, membre de la chambre des Lords, a besoin de voir son nom réapparaître dans les journaux avec un rôle entièrement nouveau : Celui du père affectueux défenseur de la pureté et de la moralité, protégeant son fils des assauts de l'artiste pervers et dépravé. La loi anglaise, à cette époque, ne badinant pas avec l'homosexualité, il est condamné à deux ans de travaux forcés.

Testament artistique d'Oscar Wilde, "La ballade de la geôle de Reading" est un poème réquisitoire contre la peine de mort et les horreurs de la vie carcérale. Mais c'est surtout une ode à la compassion et à l'humanité. En décrivant les derniers jours d'un condamné à mort, Wilde nous fait toucher l'essence de notre humanité, Il fixe la "petite tente de ciel bleu", la paix possible qui suit même les plus grandes tourmentes ; il aborde les grands mystères de la vie : l'amour, la mort et la rédemption.

Celtic Poets breathes vitality into the works of Swift, Burns, Wilde, and more. Cosham's finely honed delivery brings verdant valleys, quaint villages, and drunkards' and maidens' conversations to listeners' ears. What is not to love?

When tensions veer between hope and despair, the ensuing fracture can swing like a scythe and cut a ragged seam between past and present. In One Wild Word Away, Geffrey Davis weaves a deft set of poems about illness, family, loss, and rebirth. The luxurious sonics and crisp descriptions in each line are haunted by grief and buoyed by love as the speaker confronts generational trauma and the potential loss of a loved one while in the process of raising his own son.

First published in 1913, more than a decade after the author's death, Charmides and Other Poems is a collection including the long narrative poem "Charmides" (1881), and a number of shorter poems, and sonnets, many written when Wilde was at the height of his powers as an author.
