The Light Box places the personal alongside classic myths, the imagined lives, and afterlives, of ordinary people, cultural icons, and those depicted in their art. Stanley Spencer, Margaret Thatcher, two men kissing in an airport arrivals hall; in Rosie Jackson's hands, 'the ordinary becomes unfamiliar and scarred with legend'. Rosie Jackson works with creative writing and the arts in community and health settings. She has degrees from Warwick and York, has taught at the University of East Anglia, and is widely published. She lives near Frome in Somerset. "It's a long time since I was so enchanted with a body of poems; these haunt my imagination with their deft sleights-of-hand, shifting personae, lightly-handled depths of wit, heart-intelligence, compassion, perceptiveness. They intrigue, seduce, move, invite question. What gives Jackson's work its strength and rarity is her merging of the numinous with the power of the sensory world." Roselle Angwin, author of All the Missing Names of Love "Stonking good poems." Jo Bell, author of Kith "The Light Box expertly explores the territory of both heart and spirit. Confidently crafted poems, by turns intimate and expansive, bring together emotional authenticity and sparkling imagination. A richly rewarding collection." Stephen Boyce, author of The Sisyphus Dog "Detail after stunning detail exposes rapture, fear, longing. These poems will make your battered heart beat fast again." Claire Crowther, author of Silents

Peppered with snapshots of Germaine Greer, Roger Deakin, Lorna Sage, Elspeth Barker, Angus Wilson, Christopher Bigsby et al., THE GLASS MOTHER illuminates the literary life of the university that gave birth to the world's first creative writing course and famously Ian McEwen, Kazuo Ishiguro and WG Sebald among many others. Working at the University of East Anglia alongside Malcolm Bradbury and Lorna Sage, Rosie Jackson, in her twenties, was racing towards the top of the academic ladder. But success, she discovered, came at too great a cost: estrangement from her son. THE GLASS MOTHER is also an intimate account of soul-searching and survival which takes us into the world of the revered Indian spiritual master Meher Baba. THE GLASS MOTHER is a deeply personal, fearlessly honest memoir which defies intellectual fashion and questions our glittering aspirations.

THE COMPLETE SERAPHIN MESSAGES, VOLUME 2 DO YOU REALLY WANT CHANGE? AND DO YOU WANT REAL CHANGE? Are you genuinely happy with EVERYTHING you see around you? Are you at ease to fully dedicate yourself to a worthy occupation which brings 100% satisfaction, which fills you with absolute joy when you open your eyes every morning, which exhilarates you and all those you encounter, and which benefits all equally? Or are you content to lead monotonous, meaningless lives of useless and unappreciated drudgery? Seraphin is an angel who tells us that we have endless potential. This is the second volume of four, documenting over 400 messages from Seraphin to artist and author, Rosie Jackson. Imagine talking to a person of great wisdom who always listens, always offers impeccable advice, always exercises compassion and always explains everything with ultimate patience. Seraphin takes us by the hand and shows us the way back to our own inner truth, thus furthering our soul growth. A very enlightening read for anyone who has the distinct impression that there is something terribly wrong with this world, and who wants to find out the true reasons, as well as the true solutions which are in accordance with the GREATER COSMIC PLAN "Will you help to rebuild the new earth? Only if you are capable of recognising and ferreting out the roots of destruction will you be able to reconstruct. We are not into temporary cosmetic repairs. We are into building eternal paradise. Instead of your humdrum existence, you will experience the DEPTHS OF DESPAIR and the HEIGHTS OF JOY" Seraphin
