Harold Monro and the Poetry Bookshop chronicles the life and legacy of Harold Monro, a pivotal figure in literary London during the early 20th century. Monro's unwavering dedication to poetry shaped his multifaceted career as a poet, bookseller, publisher, and advocate for verse. Known for his idealism tempered by practicality, Monro’s efforts established him as a central figure in the poetry community. Through his Poetry Bookshop, he fostered a welcoming space for poets of diverse styles and temperaments, transcending literary factions and trends. Esteemed figures like Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Osbert Sitwell praised his impartiality, generosity, and commitment to poetry, with Pound lamenting his passing as a significant loss to the literary world. While Monro's personal poetic achievements have often been overshadowed by his role as a champion for others, this biography reveals the depth of his contributions. His poetry, though marked by melancholy and introspection, was central to his identity. Monro’s vision extended beyond individual recognition, as he prioritized the promotion of poetry as an art form over personal gain or fame. Despite his reserved demeanor and private struggles, Monro’s work left an indelible mark on the literary landscape, bridging gaps between poets and readers, and securing his place as one of the most influential advocates for poetry of his generation. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1967.

Practice what you preach For 20+years, I have been practicing and now it's time to share what has worked for me in the various Fortune 500 companies where I have been successfully employed, delivering results and engaging cross-functional teams to achieve those audacious corporate and personal goals. I have always been a proponent of engaging employees to drive business results. Even as a young engineer, I believed in the power of people and their desire to do their best to solve complex problems, execute major projects, and unearth ground-breaking ideas from within. This book outlines a simple roadmap that is from a practitioner's point of view. And, it is buoyed by the current research that supports the roadmap and its methods. My objective is to compel other managers, business leaders, and teachers to get on the employee engagement bus by providing a practical roadmap that yields results.
