Sinopse

'Just let go. Let your body float. You'll still be here but it'll feel like flying in a dream.'
Bo is busy – balancing the pressures of work and the needs of her struggling daughter. When her mother, the irrepressible force-of-nature Beth, is admitted to hospital following a stroke, the practical realities of the present collide with the complexities of their past.
Backstroke is a kaleidoscopic and compassionate play, first performed at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2025. It was written and directed by Anna Mackmin, with Celia Imrie and Tamsin Greig playing mother and daughter.

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of A Health by Edward Coote Pinkney. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for February 19, 2012.Edward Coote Pinkney was an American poet, lawyer, sailor, professor, and editor. Born in London in 1802, Pinkney made his way to Maryland. After attending college, he joined the United States Navy and traveled throughout the Mediterranean and elsewhere. He then attempted a law career but was unsuccessful and attempted to join the Mexican army, though he never did. He died at the age of 26 in 1828.Pinkney published several lyric poems inspired primarily by the work of British poets. Critic and poet Edgar Allan Poe supported Pinkney's work after his death, quoting from his poetry in a lecture series. Poe also suggested Pinkney would have been more successful if he was a New Englander rather than a Southern writer.This poem is taken from the Yale Book of American Verse.  1912, Thomas R. Lounsbury, ed. (1838–1915)

    Tapping At Glass charts girlhood, multilingualism, and psychogeography from Hong Kong to Scotland. Myths, meditations on the arts and mass media, and migration stories entwine. Through protest-stricken urban spaces, love hotels, farming as activism, frog watching, alternative therapies, and seascapes where racial and social memories flow in all directions, the working class subjects in Cheng's poems reflect on what it means to exist in one locale and dream of elsewhere, where the past and future, interconnectedness and othering, are in perpetual negotiation. Tapping into various moods, Cheng's poems question the making of a self and a city, and the languages one uses to translate microhistories.
    Tapping At Glass is Tim Tim's debut pamphlet collection.
    "Tim Tim Cheng is a wonderful new voice in the poetry landscape. Playful, serious, complicating any attempt to pin her down – even in the short span of a pamphlet she dances through images and ideas. Already so accomplished, she is definitely a poet who is going places." – Niall Campbell

    Read by the author. 
    Do you feel like you live life looking in from the outside? From the way you speak, to the color of your skin, to the way you vote, or the way you pray, you don't fit the mold. And yet you find yourself still trying to prove yourself to others. In Set Me Free, New York Times bestselling author Lecrae invites you on a poetic and artistic exploration of how you can persevere against the lies of unworthiness to experience the freedom given to you in Jesus. 
    Under the weight of America's racial history, church traditions, and cultural pressures, Lecrae found himself trapped in the belief that he had to earn his freedom or prove his right to be on the stage, or even in the pews of a church. As he learns to shed these old ways of thinking, Lecrae beckons you to step out of the beliefs that are holding you captive and to reconstruct your faith. 
    Within this inspirational collection of poetry and essays, you will experience:Raw, lyrical expressions of what it means to be unfree in AmericaConfessional essays explaining Lecrae's personal journey to claim his freedom and his faithEmpowering words to help heal your wounded soulA testimony of God's unfailing love and eternal acceptance 
      
    This book is perfect for:Followers of Jesus who feel disillusioned or who are deconstructing from their church experienceSpiritual seekers who feel on the outside of modern religious institutionsFans of Lecrae's music 
      
    Provocative, vulnerable, convicting, and inspiring, Set Me Free is a poetry collection for our time.
