  Fifty Shades of Spring - 50 of...

  William Wordsworth, Khalil...

  Nature’s year begins.  Temperatures slowly rise.  Green gradually becomes the dominant colour of the landscape.  Rain from drenching showers to windy squalls help nourish the land.  Nature has embarked on her epic symphony of the year.   
   
  Each year, each season, each day is a little different from her previous work.  Days lengthen as her canvas and palette grows more confident. Colour emerges from the shades of monochrome.  She is at work on tasks everywhere. 
   
  Naturally our classic poets rise to the challenge knowing that they will only be able to detail fragments or broad brush stroke the whole.  They ponder, they write, they wonder.

  #aiww: The Arrest of Ai Weiwei

  Howard Brenton

  A timely play based on the true story of an imprisoned Nobel Laureate.
  On 3 April 2011, as he was boarding a flight to Taipei, the Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei was arrested at Beijing Airport. Advised merely that his travel "could damage state security", he was escorted to a van by officials after which he disappeared for 81 days. On his release, the government claimed that his imprisonment related to tax evasion.
  Howard Brenton's new play is based on Ai Weiwei's account in Barnaby Martin's book Hanging Man, in which he told the story of that imprisonment - by turns surreal, hilarious, and terrifying. A portrait of the artist in extreme conditions, it is also an affirmation of the centrality of art and freedom of speech in civilised society. The play premiered at Hampstead Theatre in April 2013, in a production directed by James Macdonald.

  Finally, in printed form, the poems from Louise's BBC3 commission 'Love is a Battlefield' make a wonderful pamphlet
  The Uniform Factory is modern war poetry marching to it's own syncopated rhythm.
  Anti-war. Pro-soldier. It documents and dreams the after-affects of economic conscription, war in Afghanistan and PTSD. Gallows-humour standing shoulder to shoulder with bitter anger.
  The collection is punctuated by landays- a Pashtun poetic form, traditionally spread woman to woman, changing, rebelling and re-mixing in the telling.
  Written from the perspective of the families left behind in Northern England
