Juvenilia: Publish and be Damned.

Publish and be damned, the author of this book quotes, in the introduction to this startling collection of poetry, composed in a spirit of sincerity and satire.

This volume includes a biographical essay and some of the translated poems of Vladimir Alexox, a Russian nobleman who, after losing his intended and shooting his friend in a duel, finally finds peace when he takes his own life.

The anthology also includes In Memoriam, a series of poems tracing the heartbreak - and mental breakdown - of a spurned young poet.

The Letters is a sonnet sequence charting the love story of an Italian Duke and enigmatic Lady, who could prove either the Duke's salvation or damnation. The reader is free to choose.Also featured in this volume are a number of short poems, entitled Fragments, and the narrative poem, The Ballad of Benedick - a western, in the spirit of Shane, set to verse.'Juvenilia' is one of the most arresting and entertaining book of poems to be published in the last few years. The anthology is rich with narrative, psychological insight and sly satire.

Richard Foreman is the bestselling historical novelist of the Sword of Rome and Sword of Empire series. He has also written 'Band of Brothers: The Complete Campaigns', based upon Henry V and the Agincourt campaign, as well as a series of novels charting the rise of Augustus Caesar and Marcus Agrippa ('Augustus: Son of Rome' and 'Augustus: Son of Caesar'). He lives in London.

Praise for Richard Foreman's Books:

'Augustus: Son of Rome'

'Augustus: Son of Rome forges action and adventure with politics and philosophy. This superb story is drenched in both blood and wisdom - and puts Foreman on the map as the coming man of historical fiction'. - Saul David, Author of the Zulu Hart series.

'Raffles: The Complete Innings'

'Classy, humorous and surprisingly touching tales of cricket, friendship and crime.' - David Blackburn, The Spectator.

'Band of Brothers: The Complete Campaigns'

'Escapism at its best... A great read that tells much about the style of war and how the individuals fought.' - Michael Jecks.

'A rattling good yarn, requiring only the minimum of suspension of belief, and leaves one eagerly anticipating the next instalment of the adventures of the team as they accompany the King to Harfleur' - Major Gordon Corrigan, author of 'A Great and Glorious Adventure: A Military History of the Hundred Years War'.

'Warsaw'

Warsaw is a work of power. It has the authentic feeling that pulses from an important book. The meticulous research and psychological insights light up one of the most ghastly episodes in the history of man's inhumanity to man. - Patrick Bishop, author of 'Fighter Boys and A Good War'.
