Cath Notes

Sinopse

I’ve come to the realisation that adulthood is when you have payed your respects to your last trauma. Once you’ve closed the struggle chapter. Anything that happens afterwards, though it may ruin your heart, will never cause any damage to your mind. The capacity to allow yourself to cry, and finding a solution by the following that prevents you from sobbing about the same thing again is where it all begins.  
Therefore meaningfully, adulthood has no starting age for debut. Instead, you’ll come across a person’s ductility. How far they can stretch and bend until they draw their sword and call misfortune on guard. A person can be 45 years old and hate the wind for the way it blows; just like how a person can be 10 years old and have already tried to take their own life.

Impossible Heat

Ciara Maguire

'these basements that taught me to breathe;my body happening in the space between moonlight &the leather straps wrapped round an old dyke's wristgender split open like a crass piñata on the sticky floor'
Ciara Maguire's poems explore the bright fields and dark corners of love. They are heartbreaking, sexy and addictive.
'Impossible Heat is a work of claustrophobia, heat, and longing. Sexual ideation extends from the mind of the speaker to colour and consume everything. Long lines and rich cadences hold the reader in a vice, just as the speaker is offered no reprieve from her own intensity of feeling. Amidst the erotic, there is a profound hopelessness that doesn't stop the poems being witty and manic, as the speaker struggles with privacy and performance, with a
fear of perception but a desperate need to be perceived. The emotional incisiveness of this work is stark, its euphony sumptuous.' Susannah Dickey
'A nest-making of threads and mirrors, sapphic rorschachs revealing everything and nothing that might be told in the salt content of sweat and the tonguing indent of lyric. These generous poems drift through the gap someone left in your bedroom window. Here are dreams, tragedies of homosexuality, domestic horror shows, a cascade of utopian performatives, moonlight, a summer that may or may not ever end. What innocence is lost or won in love is felt in the sensory plenitude of our speaker's imagination. Maguire is a master of anaphora, list and simile. Impossible Heat surrenders to its own melting, poems yielding
magical hyperobjects which metabolise into tender adhesives, binding us irresistibly to this book. This is a work of devotion, connection, eclipse, desire and discovery. Its charm is quietly devastating.' Maria Sledmere

The Poetry of the Moon & Stars -...

A. E. Housman, Christina...

The sun has descended below the far horizon.  The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land.  Day has gone and the nocturnal times reveal themselves.  But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves.  We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. 
Our gloried poets are on hand though to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.  Among our ranks of astounding talents are Keats, Byron, Wordsworth, Hardy, Poe, Shelley, Longfellow and many more beside.  Their descriptions capture what they see and feel and describe as perhaps only a poet can. 
 This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

Peak Stuff

Billie Collins

'I like having things. I like having lots of things. It reminds me that I'm... Y'know? A person.'
Alice is done with fast fashion. Ben can't stop buying trainers. And Charlie just wants to sell out… one organ at a time.
Billie Collins's play Peak Stuff is a fast-paced, funny, fearless deep-dive into consumer culture. In an age of retail therapy, climate crisis and click and collect - how does our 'stuff' define us? And have we reached peak stuff?
The play was commissioned by ThickSkin and Lawrence Batley Theatre, was a winner of the New Play Commission Scheme, and was first presented on tour of the UK in 2024.

Comedie Hell

Dante Alighieri

Dante Alighieri's*Inferno*, here titled *Hell*, is the first canticle of his great narrative poem *Commedìa* (1314-1321), considered by many to be the foundation of modern vernacular literature, which consigned to the past the literary use of Latin. Dante's visionary description of the afterlife and the profound humanity of his characters have been admired by many generations of readers and writers, and the beauty of its verse has never been surpassed. The translation presented here is by Leon Stephens, who is also the reader.
