Sinopsis

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."}

    Life expectancy begins to fall

    Is your retirement plan dying in the climate wars? Are you getting on with things in the meantime? In Life expectancy begins to fall, Tom Sastry asks how we normalise an apocalypse, taking us on a tour of bad coping strategies, unwelcome epiphanies, and striking reminders of what we still have.
    Part-elegy and part-satire, these poems do not show you what to do in a crisis, nor do they promote the cliches of positive thinking that tell you how to be a good worker, an effective activist or a spiritual person. Instead, quietly and persuasively, Sastry develops a subtle meditation on hope. The poetry shows us as we mostly are, lost in the enormity of it all and busy with other things. Explore a world where 'pessimism is complicated by love' and optimism is found hiding in moments where 'nothing happens, in the most lavish way'.

    Elinor Morton Hoyt was born on 7th September, 1885 in Somerville, New Jersey and from age 12 grew up in Washington D C where her father served as assistant attorney general and later solicitor general.  Her early education together with her renowned beauty suggests she was being trained for life as a debutante but her life quickly found another route as she became absorbed in the world of books. 
     
    An early marriage following her graduation ended when, after being pursued by Horace Wylie, 17 years her senior and a married Washington lawyer with three children, she eloped to England with him.  His wife would not divorce him and the subsequent scandal was widely publicised further fueled by the suicide in 1912 of her abandoned husband. 
     
    With Wylie's encouragement she published in 1912, ‘Incidental Number’, assembled from poems of the previous decade. 
     
    Despite a child from her first marriage Elinor subsequently endured miscarriages, a stillbirth and a premature child who lived for only one week.  When Wylie’s deserted wife agreed to a divorce, the couple returned to the United States and married but they were already drawing apart. 
     
    In 1921, Elinor’s ‘Nets to Catch the Wind’, was published. It was an immediate success and a prize-winner.  In New York’s literary circles she found her next husband who acted as her agent – the poer William Rose Benét, brother of the famed Stephen. They married in 1923 and that same year ‘Black Armor’, was published. The New York Times said "There is not a misplaced word or cadence in it."  She also published her first of four novels, ‘Jennifer Lom’, to excellent reviews. 
     
    She worked for a time as the poetry editor of Vanity Fair, an editor of Literary Guild, and a contributing editor of The New Republic.  Her third book of poetry, ‘Trivial Breath’ arrived in 1928 as did the failure of her marriage with Benét.  
     
    She moved again to England and fell in love with a friend’s husband, to whom she wrote, and later published a series of 19 sonnets; ‘Angels and Earthly Creatures’. 
     
    Elinor Wylie suffered high blood pressure all her adult life and this eventually led to her death at Benet’s New York apartment on 16th December, 1928 where she suffered a stroke. She was 43.

    "O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."
    
    Experience the most intimate and devastating of William Shakespeare's great tragedies. Othello, a heroic Moorish general in the service of Venice, has won the heart of the beautiful and virtuous Desdemona. But their happiness is short-lived, as Othello's ensign, the brilliant and sociopathic Iago, begins to weave a web of lies designed to destroy the General's life.
    
    Through subtle whispers and the calculated use of a misplaced handkerchief, Iago poisons Othello's mind with unfounded suspicions of Desdemona's infidelity. The play is a terrifying masterclass in psychological manipulation, showing how easily noble love can be transformed into murderous rage.
    
    This definitive edition presents the original text of a work that remains shockingly modern in its exploration of race, domesticity, and the nature of evil. A cornerstone of the Elizabethan theatre, Othello features Shakespeare's most complex villain and a tragic hero whose fall is as inevitable as it is heartbreaking.
    
    Witness the power of a lie. Buy "Othello" today and experience a masterwork of suspense and tragedy.
