Things to Do in Hell

Beschreibung

The poetic companion to NBC’s The Good Place, this collection is Chris’s answer to the question of whether we live in a Hell replete with love and tenderness or a Heaven that’s utterly corrupted, and what that means for everyday life. The concept was born out of a conversation Chris had with one of his special needs poetry students, Soren, who coped with psychological trauma by provoking his teachers. Chris finally broke through by remarking how Soren's worldview made it seem like everyone was living in hell. To which he responded, “How do we know we're not?” This led to an unforgettable discussion of all the ridiculous and mundane things we do every day while unwittingly living in hell, from trying new flavors of yogurt to trolling on YouTube. Chris is an established Coffee House poet with a loyal readership. He also has a book of essays about his work with neurodivergent students coming from HarperOne in 2021. Chris is charming, articulate, and enthusiastic about promoting this book. He has lots of creative ideas for events and great connections in literary and artistic circles.

    Turned on its head, reality’s madness becomes a comical carnival of the ridiculous with intervals of creative, contemplative verse. 
    Within this collection of short stories and poems are the musings, struggles and cynicisms of those who see the political puppetry, the diminishing resources, the infinite greed, overconsumption, and violence that exists beneath the accepted patina of contemporary society. Through the power of spoken word, atmospheric soundscapes and musical melodies, these revelations represent the wilful recognition of truth and the rejection of falsity; they are the Murmurs of the Mad.

    Conversations with Good Men is a three-act drama, written in verse, that takes readers on a journey of love, longing, heartbreak, and hope.

Fans of poets from Elizabeth Barrett Browning, to E.E. Cummings, to Rupi Kaur and Charly Cox will appreciate Bethel Swift’s brevity, wit, transparency, and heart in this collection.

    Idealist, atheist, outcast, political radical and, of course, poet – Percy Bysshe Shelley was, in many ways, the epitome of the Romantic artist. His poetry was an outlet for his passionately-held and highly unpopular beliefs; beliefs which resulted in social exclusion, exile, and possibly even his premature death at the age of twenty-nine. His work is a monument to his convictions and to the power of the human spirit, and today it is recognised as a key contribution to Romantic literature. This anthology contains many of his best-known poems, including Ozymandias, The Mask of Anarchy and To a Skylark, as well as excerpts from (among others) Prometheus Unbound and Adonaïs, all read by Bertie Carvel, one of the most talented English actors of his generation.
