Sinopse

In "Low Tide on Grand Pr√©: A Book of Lyrics," Bliss Carman intricately weaves a tapestry of lyrical poetry that reflects his deep connection to nature and the landscapes of his Maritime Canadian roots. The collection is marked by a vibrant literary style that employs rich imagery and musical cadence, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the serene beauty of Grand Pr√©. Interspersed throughout the verses are themes of transience and longing, as Carman captures the ebb and flow of life, imbuing the text with an ethereal quality that resonates with both emotional depth and philosophical inquiry. This poetic exploration is situated within the broader context of Canadian pastoral literature, reinforcing nature's influence on identity and artistic expression during the late 19th century. Bliss Carman, a revered figure in Canadian poetry, drew inspiration from his upbringing in New Brunswick and the lush landscapes of Canada. His experiences of solitude and reflection in nature often shaped his poetry, allowing him to articulate a unique voice that resonates with both personal and collective experiences. Carman became a central figure in the Confederation Poets and was instrumental in promoting Canadian literature during a time of cultural awakening in the nation. Recommended for readers who appreciate nature-infused poetry and deep introspection, "Low Tide on Grand Pr√©" stands as a testament to Carman's mastery of the lyrical form. This collection invites a contemplative engagement with the natural world, making it a cherished addition to the bookshelf of anyone seeking solace and beauty in poignant verse.

This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
I am beyond life, 
I am beyond strife, 
I am long beyond my last breath, 
I'm among the angelic host, 
some call me a ghost, 
I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.

In The Countess Cathleen, famine devastates Ireland, and a pair of mysterious merchants begin buying souls from starving peasants in exchange for food and gold. When Countess Cathleen discovers the growing spiritual crisis among her people, she tries to offer aid—but quickly realizes her wealth alone isn’t enough to stop their grief. In a final, deliberate act, she sells her own soul to the merchants, hoping to ransom the villagers’ salvation with her sacrifice. Drawing from Irish legend to explore moral choice, quiet heroism, and the uneasy space between good intentions and divine judgment, this debut play of W.B. Yeats would set him apart from other contemporary writers of his time and solidify the foundation for his works to come.

'You're not stupid for wanting things to change, Fanny – it's just that we have to play the music that gets handed to us.'
Meet Fanny Mendelssohn. You'll probably know of her younger brother Felix, from nineteenth-century smash hits like 'The Wedding March'. He was such a huge star that Queen Victoria requested a private concert, during which she sang her favourite of his compositions, a song called 'Italien'.
The only problem is, that particular piece was actually composed by Fanny, though it was published under her brother's name.
When Fanny intercepts the letter inviting Felix to play for the queen, she decides to hide it away, don her brother's clothes, and take his place at the palace…
Calum Finlay's play Fanny is a joyful and irreverent comedy celebrating music, family and – at last – the work of a composer overlooked because of her sex. It opened at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2024.
