Sinopsis

In "Plays," Anton Chekhov unveils a masterful collection of dramatic works that profoundly explore the complexities of human existence and the subtleties of relationships. Renowned for his innovative use of subtext and his ability to evoke deep emotions through seemingly simple dialogue, Chekhov's plays such as "The Cherry Orchard" and "Uncle Vanya" offer a rich tapestry of life in late 19th-century Russia. Through a blend of humor and melancholy, he delves into themes of unfulfilled aspirations, social change, and the passage of time, illuminating the paradoxes of ordinary life while challenging the conventions of theatrical narrative. Chekhov's background as a physician and keen observer of human behavior profoundly influenced his writing. Born in 1860 in Taganrog, Russia, he used his insights from both medicine and personal experience to craft characters that are at once relatable and tragic. His belief in the power of the theatre to reflect societal issues propelled him to write plays that transcended mere entertainment, cementing his legacy as a pivotal figure in modern drama. Highly recommended for both casual readers and scholars alike, Chekhov's "Plays" provides an insightful look into the intricacies of the human condition. Engaging with these texts not only enriches one's understanding of theatrical history but also offers an opportunity to reflect on the timeless themes that resonate across generations.

The latest book by Gillian Sze, author of the Pat Lowther Memorial Award–winning book Quiet Night Think
		 
This prosimetrical work is a meditation on motherhood, language, and art. The central speaker witnesses the earliest utterances of her child and launches into a poetic inquiry of words themselves, asking, How to measure one’s mouth by its words? The speaker seeks an answer amidst the language that surrounds her — words misspoken, mispronounced, remembered, unwritten — and, in doing so, struggles with signification and significance.
		 
Each prose poem in the five-part collection darts between the many meanings of “fit” — as in “a sudden burst of emotion” or “to be the right size and shape,” and the archaic “fytte” (a section of a poem). A text becomes an open mouth, a square day of a calendar, or a bare fragment of a narrative. The final section of the book is an intimate and ekphrastic engagement with the work of Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi. Drawn to Hammershøi’s paintings of the empty rooms of his apartment, the speaker recognizes a familiar space of art’s insistence.
		 
An Orange, A Syllable details a period of maternal and artistic transformation.

PROFESSOR :: 
Poem about the dreamy chance that a Professor could takeover a Political theatre and become a World leader,  
with greater knowledge at his/her disposal. Imploring them to do so!  
Was originally created in 1999 when I was younger and more Politically conscious. ;)
