Some of the poems are critical and challenging. Some are humorous, as dark humour is a well-recognised resilience tool of the soldier. All are observationaland all are grounded in the realities of crisis and conflict.It is likely you have read war poetry from the perspectives of the combat soldier: but this book is the alternative perspective of those who manage the consequences of war. The work exposes that saving lives in conflict, picking up the human pieces, takes a toll on the carers. Writing these poems has been a means for the author to sustain mental resilience and to cope with serial morally injurious events.

This volume comprises the full poetic works of one of our wittiest, most beloved writers, and includes many previously uncollected poems. When Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis was published in 1986, Wendy Cope became that rarest of creatures: a celebrated poet who was also a best-seller. Her artful combination of insight and wit made an extraordinary impact in poems that cocked a gentle snook at the pomposity of a literary world hitherto dominated by men. Through four further collections, Cope has continued to delight her readers while finding a whole new generation of enthusiasts when her poem The Orange went viral. Together these poems catalogue the desires and fears that underlie our ordinary existences - love and heartbreak, disappointment and a hard-won capacity to find happiness, even if only in the form of a poem.. In their profound attention to and encapsulation of the everyday, these poems serve to make our own lives the more remarkable and memorable. Collected Poems celebrates a lifetimes achievement by a poet who has been original and distinctive from the very start, and provides the perfect accompaniment to the trials, tribulations and joys of our all too human lives. This collection also features Nick Garlands original illustrations for The River Girl (1991).We can love Wendy Copes words . . . for the rhymes they reveal but also for the sad truths they speak. Adam Gopnik, New Yorker One has to go back to Byron to find a poet as consistently witty, wide-ranging and technically outstanding as Cope.Los Angeles Review of BooksWe need not wonder at Wendy Copes continued, wide appeal.

The encounter with Jasmin was to change Renatos life decisively. It marks the beginning of many small episodes in which the author describes events from different points of view. People from different cultures are confronted with sometimes unfamiliar conditions. Be it as lovers, as parents, as employers and employees or as friends. Language barriers must be overcome and different views must be tolerated. No culture is favored, no country is singled out. The author "anonymizes" the countries in his own way: warm country, wet country, mountain country, but also pass country, there is no more concretization. It is left to the readers imagination whether or which countries or characters he prefers.

Em quase todos os aspetos da nossa vida social, a capacidade de interpretar eficazmente os sinais da linguagem corporal e de gerir a impresso que transmitimos aos outros podem ser decisivas.Quando existe uma discrepancia entre aquilo que e dito e os sentimentos que so transmitidos de forma indireta atraves das expresses faciais e da linguagem corporal, damos mais relevancia aquilo que vemos do que aquilo que nos e dito. Isto deve-se ao facto de a linguagem corporal deixar escapar certas emoçes e atitudes que poderiamos ter preferido esconder daqueles que nos observam.O processo de receço e imediato e, em grande medida, inconsciente, apesar de se poder tornar consciente por intermedio de um processo de analise que podera conhecer neste livro.Aqui ira descobrir tudo o que precisa para:1-Compreender a mensagem que a sua aparencia transmite.2-Desvendar e compreender a linguagem no-verbal dos outros, e saber projetar os sinais certos, para poder gerir a impresso que lhes quer passar.3-Conduzir conversas e discusses com inteligencia e saber. 4-Falar melhor em publico e ter sucesso em entrevistas.5-Ver alem das aparencias e descobrir quando lhe esto a mentir.INCLUI EXEMPLOS DO MUNDO REAL, DICAS E ESTRATEGIAS PRATICAS PARA O DIA A DIA
