In Memoriam A.H.H. is a poem by Alfred Tennyson. The original title of the poem was "The Way of the Soul", in memory the poet's beloved friend Arthur Henry Hallam.
Literature is a world of words and wonder, able to take us on almost unimaginable journeys from the wild and fantastic to the grind and minutiae of life. An author’s ideas are his building blocks, his architecture of the mind, building a structure on which all else will rest; the narrative, the characters, the words - those few words that begin the adventure. In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem. In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything. But ideas, these grains and saplings of the brain, need to roam, to explore and find their perfect literary use vehicle. Our authors are masters of many literary forms, perhaps known for one but themselves favouring another. Story. Poems. Story. Within these boundaries come all manner of invention and cast of characters. And, of course, each author has their own way of revealing their own chapter and verse. 1 - Chapter & Verse - Rudyard Kipling - An Introduction 2 - Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling 3 - If by Rudyard Kipling 4 - My Father's Chair by Rudyard Kipling 5 - My Boy Jack by Rudyard Kipling 6 - Mother O' Mine by Rudyard Kipling 7 - A Death Bed by Rudyard Kipling 8 - The English Flag by Rudyard Kipling 9 - Tommy by Rudyard Kipling 10 - Mandalay by Rudyard Kipling 11 - In Springtime by Rudyard Kipling 12 - To the City of Bombay by Rudyard Kipling 13 - Cities and Thrones and Powers by Rudyard Kipling 14 - The Prairie by Rudyard Kipling 15 - The Way Through the Woods by Rudyard Kipling 16 - Mary Postgate by Rudyard KiplingShow book

'I don't visit the past. The past visits me.' The sharp-tongued Miss Myrtle is trying to manage her unkempt garden in a rapidly changing neighbourhood. Her grandson Rudy and his 'close friend' Jason need a place to stay, and local drunk Eddie keeps relieving himself against her garden wall. When Rudy starts delving into the past, Myrtle resists – all she wants is some peace and quiet. But as her brain begins to play up, far more complicated questions about grief, love and understanding demand her attention, and she's running out of time. Miss Myrtle's Garden is a wonderfully warm and witty exploration of how acknowledging the past helps us live life in the present. It was written by Danny James King and first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Taio Lawson.Show book
PICASSO : Poetesque A poem about the cubist painter of the last Century (20th). He was a surrealist artist, and in his earlier works painted in the neoclassical. Born in Spain, he escaped Franco's regime by being in exile in France. Some of his cubist art may have been influenced by his knowledge of the atrocities committed during the Spanish Civil war, especially in his Masterpiece Guernica.

'This is the story of how we met, fell in love, and fucked it up. But it's not just our story. It's his, and his and theirs. Maybe it's yours…' Manchester, 2017.

Together, they form a bond so tight, they might just survive it all. But sometimes survival means knowing when to leave. Pulling back the glittery curtain of pride to reveal the devastating impact of generational HIV stigma, racism, homophobia and repressive gender norms, Nathaniel J Hall's Toxic is a powerful, passionate play celebrating survival and the resilience of the queer spirit. Inspired by true events, it was first performed at HOME, Manchester, in 2023, before touring the UK in 2025, directed by Scott Le Crass, and performed by the playwright alongside Josh-Susan Enright.
