Beschreibung

In 'Selections from Modern Poets,' readers are invited to explore the dynamism of early 20th-century poetry through a carefully curated collection that traverses an array of themes and styles. Capturing the zeitgeist of modernism, these works encapsulate the transformative years surrounding World War I, imbued with the tension of tradition and innovation. From poignant war reflections to explorations of identity and introspection, the anthology juxtaposes varied literary movements within a singular, compelling volume. The diversity of poetic forms and the profound emotive depth present in this collection make it a rich tapestry of voices, inviting readers to immerse themselves into the stirring currents of modernity. The anthology brings together an impressive assembly of poets, offering a veritable who's who of the period's literary milieu. Figures synonymous with the era, such as James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence, stand alongside evocative voices like Rupert Brooke and Siegfried Sassoon. These authors draw from distinct backgrounds and experiences, from the trenches of war to the salons of literary discourse, unified under the modernist ethos. Collectively, they address the shifting landscapes of a world in flux, contributing to a broader understanding of the era's cultural and artistic undertakings. 'Representing an expansive range of perspectives, 'Selections from Modern Poets' serves as a crucial entry point into the world of early 20th-century poetry. It offers a microcosm of the divergent ideas, experiments, and emotions that characterize the modernist movement. For lovers of literature and students of history alike, this anthology presents a unique opportunity not only to witness the birth of new poetic expression but also to appreciate the varied voices that challenged and redefined a period marked by profound change. The collection invites readers on a journey through complex themes and compelling insights, fostering a richer dialogue about this pivotal moment in literary history."}

    Written for boys who like to eat other people's sorrows, or not eat at all, and for girls who love them regardless. 
    Nick and Mark are 20-something nihilists with nothing but Thursday evenings, a mattress, and the weight of their own thoughts. In one final attempt to find meaning, they give themselves a week to search. If they fail, they jump. 
    We’re Jumping Tomorrow is an intimate, hauntingly poetic novella designed to be read in one sitting, like stumbling upon a stranger’s tragic story online, finding empathy for them, and then scrolling away. Combining sharp cynicism with raw, visual prose, it captures the fleeting yet profound nature of human connection, mental illness, and the quiet desperation of young adulthood. 
    Never quite meant for the public eye, We’re Jumping Tomorrow holds enough importance to be released anyway. Though darkness and pessimism spread throughout its pages, an unshakable sense of humor and self-deprecation stand firm, reflecting this generation’s ability to face even the most gruesome thoughts with a grin.

    James Fritz's Skyscraper Lullaby is a haunting examination of the ways we cope with tragedy, complicity, and remorse. It was first produced as an audio play for Audible Original in 2022.

    Hope Beauty and Friendship

    This selection of poems by a new author was triggered by the tragic death of his 28-year-old daughter. So the collection begins with loss and the aftermath of loss: the hope of the author that his daughter and he may be reunited in the life to come. This hope underlies many of the poems. This is clearly articulated in ‘Osler and Son’, where a father grieves for loss of his son in World War I but in a stoical, unexpressed manner. 
    The author records his childhood experience of emotions being held back in ‘Boys Don’t Cry John’. While some poems look back, most are contemporary, such as those inspired by the lockdown and the Ukraine War. 
    The author advocates expression of feelings. This is powerfully expressed in relation to his experience of Friendship, both past and present. Transcendental beauty is a theme in the metaphysical poems ‘The Colour Blue’ and ‘Roman Glass’. 
    However, each poem is unique. Many of them speak from the heart and have an emotional impact. The author hopes that these will resonate with readers.
