Was Macbeth a real person?

Macbeth did indeed ascend the Scottish throne after the death of King Duncan I, but Duncan was a fairly young man (unlike the old and wise Duncan of the play) and was by no means a very able ruler. He was not murdered in his bed, but defeated and killed by Macbeth at the Battle of Pitgaveny on the 14th August, 1040 in what was a generally popular dynastic coup. As king, Macbeth seemed to bring order and stability to Scotland, so much so that he was able to leave and go on a pilgrimage to Rome in 1050. However, the King of England, (Edward The Confessor) made an massive invasion bid under the command of Earl Siward in 1054 which severely weakened Scotland once again. Although Macbeth's regime survived that crisis, Duncan's son Malcolm Canmore (the future Malcolm III) was later able to defeat Macbeth at the Battle of Lumphanam on the 15th August, 1057. Mortally wounded, Macbeth died at Scone shortly afterwards and was succeeded as king by his stepson, Lulach (as opposed to Malcolm). Unlike in the Shakespeare play, Macbeth was not considered a tyrant by his contemporaries and had a generally very successful reign lasting 17 years. The reason this may have changed in Shakespeare's Macbeth is because Shakespeare made his plays to please the English monarchy, and the real history does not portray England as a very moral country.

What is it called if you're half mermaid half vampire?

Cats in general (house cats, wild cats, lions, tigers, etc.) are famously cross-fertile across species (if members of the cat family are physically compatible ... that is, adult members of the two species are about the same size ... there's a fair chance that they can interbreed), and there are creatures called "vampire bats", but bats are not even in the same biological order as cats (cats are in order Carnivora, bats are in order Chiroptera) and therefore are not at all genetically compatible.

Are Julian Bond's poems published in a collection?

No. I'm an academician with an interest in his poetry, and Bond has confirmed in an email to me that he doesn't have a poetry collection. (I'm Neil Graves, a professor of English, and can be reached at .) Bond has at least eight published poems, all done before 1965 or so, and he doesn't regard this as an adequate number for a collection; some of these titles, five of them actually, have been rather frequently anthologized and reprinted. The 8 titles are "The Bishop of Atlanta: Ray Charles," "Cambridge, Mass.," "Habana" (I have an article on this poem forthcoming in THE EXPLICATOR late 2008), "I, Too, Hear America Singing," "Langston Hughes," "Look at that Gal" (titled "#3" in one of its publications), "Miles," and "Rotation." Four of his poems appear in the anthology BEYOND THE BLUES: NEW POEMS BY AMERICAN NEGROES (1962); four of them appear in the journal UMBRA (issue 1.1), 1963; two of them appear in NEW NEGRO POETS, USA (1964, RPT. 1970); one of them appears in THE BOOK OF NEGRO HUMOR (1966); one of them appears in 100 PLUS AMERICAN POEMS (1970); and three of them appear in THE NEW CRISIS 107/1 (Jan-Feb. 2000): 32. Essentially Bond didn't publish new poems beyond his student days, but he continues to list some of his verse publications (and mentions "poems and articles") on his professional web site at U VA, and in his bio releases he mentions his role as one of the founders of THE PEGASUS, a student literary magazine at Morehouse. (He was an English major.) Bond reports in an email to me that his memory is not precise about exactly how many poems he published. I've not seen copies of THE PEGASUS (Bond doesn't have them) and don't know whether any poems published in that journal (if indeed there are any) are different titles from the eight I have located. Prof. Esta Seaton, one of Bond's mentors ca. 1960 or earlier, says that some friends through he might follow the role of poet rather than that of civil rights advocate. Langston Hughes saw him as one of the bright young African American poets of the 1960s.
