Lavender Jessamine - Memories Of A Heart On The Mend

Anderson Jr. Banks

Editorial: Spines

Sinopsis

In the deep embrace of emotional tides, Andrew navigates the labyrinth of recovery and self-discovery. What began as two Panic Attacks in high school turned out to be the beginning of something much more serious. Weathering the storms of a tumultuous past, this narrative unwinds the delicate strands of pain, endurance, and resilience that form the web of his existence. Andrew's journey begins in the Yellow Jessamine state of South Carolina, the home of Parris Island. His journey is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to mend, to emerge from shadows with clarity and strength. Through the disciplined chapters of Marine Corps training and the reflective ink of journal entries, readers are guided through a transformative odyssey where one man confronts the specters of abuse, the whispers of first love and first heartbreak, and the unspoken covenant of familial bonds. Enter a world where the Marine Corps' rigid framework becomes a crucible for change. Here unfolds a tale of one man's indomitable will to reclaim his humanity and step into the light of self-acceptance, armed with the understanding that even in solitude, connections run deep and every heart is a battleground of its own.

Selected Poems of Calvin C Hernton

Calvin C. Hernton

This volume promises to be the definitive guide to Calvin C. Hernton's unparalleled poetic career, re-introducing readers to a major voice in American poetry. Hernton was a cofounder of the Umbra Poets Workshop; a participant in the Black Arts Movement, R. D. Laing's Kingsley Hall, and the Antiuniversity of London; and a teacher at Oberlin College who counted amongst his friends bell hooks, Toni Morrison, and Odetta. As a pioneer in the field of Black Studies, Hernton developed a theoretical and practical pedagogy with lasting impact on generations of students. He may be best known as an anti-sexist sociologist, following in the footsteps of W.E.B. Du Bois, but Hernton viewed himself, above all, as a poet. This volume includes a generous selection of Hernton's previously published poems, from classics like the often anthologized "The Distant Drum" to the visionary epic The Coming of Chronos to the House of Nightsong, reprinted in full for the first time since 1964, alongside uncollected and unpublished material from the Calvin C. Hernton papers at Ohio University, a new critical introduction, and detailed notes, chronology, and bibliography.[sample poem]The Distant DrumI am not a metaphor or symbol.This you hear is not the wind in the trees.Nor a cat being maimed in the street.I am being maimed in the streetIt is I who weep, laugh, feel pain or joy.Speak this because I exist.This is my voiceThese words are my words, my mouthSpeaks them, my hand writes.I am a poet.It is my fist you hear beatingAgainst your ear.

As winter's first snow falls, there's not much Christmas cheer in Sherwood Forest. Cupboards are bare, the nights are cold, and the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham squeezes his citizens for every penny they're worth.
But deep in the forest, in the heart of the Major Oak, Robin and Marian are plotting an audacious scheme to bring some festive joy to all…
This charming retelling of the Robin Hood legend by Chris Bush, with music by Matt Winkworth, was first performed at Rose Theatre, Kingston upon Thames, in 2024, directed by Elin Schofield.
Robin Hood and the Christmas Heist was commissioned by the Rose to be performed by members of the Rose Youth Theatre alongside four professional adult actors – and offers a wealth of opportunities for other theatre companies who want a merry Christmas classic that hits the target.
