CITY O F COLOURED LIGHTS is a collection of poetry by Silver O’City written over several years. The poems are appealing to a wide range of readers. O’City’s writing is fast-paced and colourful. He employs various techniques of poetry writing. O’City’s poems cover many themes including Love and romance, politics, Spirituality/Christianity, family and daily events of human living. O’City is a keen observer of nature and human life everywhere he travels and lives. Some of the poems are unapologetically in your face while others are parabolic in nature and requires the readers to think a little deeper. This first book of poetry by O’City is engaging, intelligent and an easy to read poems that I enthusiastically recommend to all readers who enjoy fresh and unique international poetry.

All eleven stories illuminate the subtleties of Muslim immigrant experience in Britain: comic culture clash and deep spiritual struggles, from the title story, which tells of the tragic death of the narrator's brother; in another, romance is tentative in a Scottish kebab shop. One of the stories, 'The Museum', won the first Caine Prize for African Writing (2000). edition.

Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.

Poetic and sparse, a bedtime story told by the elements.
