Sinopse

In "Sonnets from the Crimea," Adam Mickiewicz presents a poignant exploration of love, nature, and the complexities of the human experience against the backdrop of the tumultuous Crimean landscape. Written during a period of personal loss and national upheaval, these sonnets intertwine lyrical beauty with profound emotional depth, employing a rich tapestry of imagery that reflects both Romantic ideals and a unique sense of place. The collection is marked by an interplay of light and shadow, capturing the duality of conflict and peace that defines the Crimean region's history. Mickiewicz, a central figure of Polish Romanticism, draws upon his experiences as an expatriate and a passionate advocate for Polish independence to infuse his poetry with a sense of longing and nostalgia. His travels to Crimea not only inspired these sonnets but also resonate with the broader themes of displacement and identity that permeate his oeuvre. With influences from classic poets and an acute awareness of the sociopolitical climate of his time, Mickiewicz melds personal reflections with universal truths. Readers seeking a rich, evocative exploration of love and longing will find "Sonnets from the Crimea" to be an indispensable addition to their literary repertoire. Its masterful blend of emotional resonance and cultural context offers insights into both the individual soul and national identity, making it a compelling read for lovers of poetry and history alike.

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
In this volume we collect together poets who, by the difference in the colour of their skin, were treated with such disdain and racism that it is difficult to believe that poetry of such tenderness, beauty and authority could exist.

On a wasted island in perpetual sun, the Father practices magic, laments his lost kingdom and commands a ragtag army of three: the passionate and damaged Daughter, the winged Spirit and an indigenous being known only as C. Behind their uniforms — white suits and full-face paper masks — the soldiers seethe with rebellion.
The arrival of the Boy, a hapless prince, and the Brother, the Father's rival, unleashes desire, betrayal, insanity and revenge — all of it witnessed by an irate sea.
Paper Crusade is a bold reinvention of Shakespeare's play, The Tempest. Michelle Penn's vivid imagery and startling, sensual language create an unforgettable dystopia for our own time.
