John Hudson's poetry collection, Rogue Seed, follows the cycle of the seasons to tell stories written from the author's isolated and geographically remote location in the South of France. Ninety-seven poems detail the writer's hope and despair, confusion and revelation as the year moves from the shoots of spring rich with nightingales to the overwhelming, stormy heat of summer and into the depths of an icy winter and back towards spring.

On February 15, 1946, the life of US Army Technician Fifth Grade Floyd O. Hudson Jr. was cut short by fellow soldiers--all over a thrown beer bottle while still on active duty. Private Hudson's life had such promise. He and his brothers, who lived an idyllic life growing up at the Llangollen estate in Upperville, Virginia, were a successful music trio that had caught the eye and ear of Gene Autry, who was prepared to mentor them in the music industry. Unfortunately, those dreams suddenly ended for the Hudson brothers that awful night in Asperg, Germany.Unfriendly Fire provides details of that night, gleaned from actual trial transcripts, which resulted in the conviction of three soldiers, who were sentenced to be hanged. It also includes a mysterious attempt by high-level politicians to commute the death sentences to hard labor. Due to a successful FOIA request on the eventual fate of these soldiers, we now know if that attempt succeeded.But Unfriendly Fire also serves as a repository of a young soldier's musings on life and love, through dozens of letters written to his mother back home. Included in this book are images heretofore unpublished, which help tell the story--photos, newspaper clippings, Nazi memorabilia, and other period images.
The Dream of Pilate's Wife is a poem written by John Hudson in 1890. The poem is inspired by Gustave Dore's famous painting of the same name, which depicts the dream of Pilate's wife as described in the Bible. In the poem, Hudson explores the emotions and thoughts of Pilate's wife as she experiences her dream and the impact it has on her. The dream is a warning about the consequences of Pilate's actions towards Jesus, and the poem reflects on the guilt and regret that Pilate's wife feels as a result of her dream. The language of the poem is rich and evocative, with vivid descriptions that bring the dream to life. The Dream of Pilate's Wife is a powerful work of poetry that explores themes of morality, guilt, and redemption, and is a must-read for anyone interested in literature and religious themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

In industrial Lancashire, as in few other English communities, the turn of the twentieth century could be seen as modern times dressed in bowler hats and moustaches. Photographs of street scenes taken in Manchester and Burnley, Oldham and Accrington in the 1890s take us to a world that had been disciplined and regimented by factory work for a century or more. Already, by then, the best cafes and restaurants in town were suggesting that customers book a table by telephone. Highly organized public transport by road, rail and sea was tempting more and more factory workers to widen their horizons, and in the pubs the talk would be of the prospects of Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers and, from 1902, Manchester United. This, then, is a world we would recognize instantly. But there are aspects of it that would seem alien to us - the poverty, the filth, the insularity of Communities -and we would soon appreciate that for all its museums and swimming baths, art galleries and Gothic town halls, this was a society still only half 'grown up' in comparison with today's. That is what makes this time just beyond living memory so intriguing and fascinating. More than one hundred and fifty superbly reproduced photographs are included here, matched with contemporary descriptions from the years spanning the turn of the century. The emphasis is on working lives, and the ways in which our forefathers fought on, with the grim good humour for which Lancashire is famous, at a hard time when they could claim with some truth that what they were doing today, the world would do tomorrow.
While Northern Rhodesia was preparing for independence as the Republic of Zambia in 1964, impoverished villages in the remote north east of the country were divided by a bitter conflict fuelled by apparently irreconcilable political and religious convictions. This book describes the origin of the dispute and how it led to skirmishes, defiance of authority, massacre, torture and displacement: a previously unreported mutiny. It is as such an important contribution to Zambian history, with a significant proportion of the material being published for the first time. The author was a district commissioner at Isoka during the time of the massacre and was personally involved in the peace settlement. He argues that the situation need not have escalated had the authorities acted to prevent it; and that for different reasons, both the colonial government and its independent successor tried to distort the gravity of what occurred.

Amelia Bassano Lanier is proved to be a strong candidate for authorship of Shakespeare's plays: Hudson looks at the fascinating life of this woman, believed by many to be the dark lady of the sonnets, and presents the case that she may have written Shakespeare's plays.
By December 1914, it had become clear to even the most optimistic observer that the war would not be over by Christmas. In Europe, Mons, the Marne and Ypres had given a taste of the devastating power of modern warfare - a reality to which troops in the trenches on both sides tried to turn a blind eye in the famous Christmas truce.
A poetry collection by John Hudson that focuses on the ways in which our lives find meaning in the context of the natural world.
