    Poems For Cecilia / Poemas Para Cecilia
    Byron Stratford Davis

    Dr. Byron Marshall Hyde was a family doctor in Ottawa, a researcher and world-renowned specialist of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) originally and falsely called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In 1988, he founded the Nightingale Research Foundation to explore and understand ME and fibromyalgia-type illnesses. Dr. Hyde intertwined qualities of compassion, kindness, loyalty and sensitivity. He always took the necessary time with his patients to find out exactly what they were suffering from. He had a very generous sense of welcome and an astounding memory for people and events with surprising accuracy and detail, which made him a great scientist, doctor and a prolific and unique author of short stories and poetry.

    Byron Hyde was a true Renaissance man, with wide interests beyond medicine: visual arts, short stories, poetry, horticulture. Dr. Hyde’s medical books are signed as Byron Hyde, his stories and poetry as Byron Stratford Davis. He passed away on November 17, 2024, at the age of 88, survived by his beloved wife Lone, his children Christophe, Christian, Dominique, Martin, and his grandchildren, Alessandra, Augustin, Cléo, Felix, Isabelle, Lucas, Noé, Octave, Sébastien and Zéphyr.


    The posthumous release of Poems for Cecilia pays homage to the marvellous writing and important medical research of Dr. Hyde.

    Life in Love, Hopelessness and Healing
    J.A. Wilbraham

    Love. How fickle. Yet our lives are spent surrounded by it, chasing it in its many forms and losing it over and over again. Dealing with it in all its aspects is a unique and honest endeavour. This is a hopeful message to all those who have felt love, heartache and abandonment at any point in their lives following the curves of love and loss.


    the hard choice
    to love yourself
    and within your own journey
    to rely on yourself
    proving
    you deserve the world
    not
    accepting anything less

    Growing Pains
    Sophie Faria

    “Let’s face it, life is often tough.Sometimes, it’s wonderful.But it’s always absolutely extraordinary.”Growing Pains explores some of the challenges young people face as they navigate the often-slippery journey of growing up – the funny, the serious, and the deeply heart-wrenching.Young people are many things: nervous, scared, and excited, but also brave, insightful, and strong. I hope these poems, in some way, paint a picture of these incredible young souls.

    This story delves into the aftermath of a summer romance between two women, poetically exploring the enduring emotions and where they lead. It asks: where does love go when it slips away too soon?

    Light a Candle in My Soul: Poems and Poetic Sketches
    Kerry Wade

    What is it that touches your soul, warms your heart or enlightens your mind? Do you dream and do you wonder? What do you seek and what comes of your thoughts? The Greeks sought, according to Aeschylus, to ‘tame the savageness of man, and make quiet the life of the world.’ The Earth itself is a Being, radiating outwards a consciousness that, no matter the vineyard in which you toil, each of us can reconnect with, refresh and renew ourselves, and perhaps even remake the world around us. In an Age of Absurdity, the soul’s longing has an uncommon degree of strength in the beauty of expression. Your thoughts and words change the world.

  • The Endless Wars

    The Endless Wars
    David Lubari Biar Lominyo

    Human civilization has come of age. Today, we enjoy unprecedented comfort and convenience compared to our predecessors a couple of centuries ago. Yet, human relationship, like animals in the wild, has largely remained primordial in nature. Regardless of the narratives and justifications, brutal methods are still in use to dominate weaker people and societies to unscrupulously access their resources and usurp power for territorial control and/or influence to survive and thrive. Those who accumulate more resources, climb higher up the societal dominance hierarchy which further guarantees access to more resources and power. The struggle is endless!This poetry book, The Endless Wars, is a “must read book!”. The author, David Lubari Biar Lominyo, based on his experience living through numerous civil wars in his own country, the Republic of South Sudan, as well as his long international humanitarian experience working in armed conflict situations in Africa and the Middle east, presents powerful, immersive poetic reflection of brutal action of man in armed conflict environment. He poetically and emotionally highlights the struggles, and the cries of vulnerable people. He further reflects on the determination of nations such as Ukraine now, fighting for freedom against external invasion. Lubari notes that where poor people have struggled and installed a democratically elected government in power, the primordial instinct of the leaders, colluding with the unfair world, may still take advantage of the unequal power relationship with their impoverished population. He offers tools for peace building and leadership skills to improve on societal stability and performance.
