There is (still) love here

Dean Atta

Synopsis

There is (still) love here, the compelling new collection of poetry by Dean Atta, is a personal and powerful exploration of relationships, love and loss, encompassing LGBTQ+ and Black history, Greek Cypriot heritage, pride and identity, dislocation and belonging.
Atta's tender, precisely-crafted and generous poems seek consolation and affirmation. These are poems as an antidote for challenging times, whether facing prejudice or the challenges of the pandemic, experiencing grief or recovering from heartbreak. Here, we encounter blue feelings and homesickness, things lost in translation and the pressures of the many roles we play in life. We also find the recipes of home, gifts and giving, the togetherness of community and connection to help us to heal. There is still love here - and journeys towards forgiveness, acceptance, queer joy and the power to unapologetically be yourself and fully embrace who you are.

The Tragedy of Coriolanus

William Shakespeare

The Tragedy of Coriolanus by William Shakespeare is a powerful political drama that explores pride, power, loyalty, and the fragile relationship between leaders and the people they govern. Inspired by stories from ancient Roman history, this gripping tragedy reveals the rise and fall of a brilliant but deeply flawed warrior whose strength on the battlefield cannot save him from his own pride.

The story follows Caius Martius, a fearless Roman general whose unmatched courage and military success earn him great honor after a decisive victory against Rome's enemies. For his achievements, he is given the name Coriolanus, a title celebrating his triumph in battle. Admired by the Roman elite for his bravery and discipline, Coriolanus appears destined for even greater power.

However, the same qualities that make him a formidable soldier also become his greatest weaknesses. Coriolanus despises political compromise and openly scorns the common citizens whose support he must gain in order to rise in Roman politics. His arrogance and refusal to flatter the people create tension between him and the public, as well as with the tribunes who represent them.

Encouraged by his ambitious mother, Volumnia, Coriolanus seeks the position of consul. Yet his inability to hide his contempt for the masses quickly turns public opinion against him. Manipulated by political rivals and angered by his pride, the citizens ultimately banish him from Rome.

Driven by rage and betrayal, Coriolanus makes a shocking decision—he allies himself with Rome's former enemies and prepares to lead an attack against the very city he once defended. As war looms, the fate of Rome rests not on soldiers or politicians, but on personal loyalty, family bonds, and the emotional struggle within a proud warrior who must choose between revenge and mercy.

Through intense conflict and unforgettable characters, Shakespeare examines themes of leadership, political power, public opinion, and personal honor. The Tragedy of Coriolanus offers a timeless reflection on the dangers of pride, the complexity of political life, and the challenges faced by those who hold great power.

Both a gripping historical drama and a profound psychological tragedy, this remarkable play continues to resonate with modern readers, reminding us that the greatest battles are often fought not on the battlefield, but within the human heart.

There Are Still Woods

Hila Ratzabi

There Are Still Woods is a radiant appraisal of life at the precipice of climate crisis and a haunting elegy for all we stand to lose. Through alternating lenses, from the speculative to the spiritual, from motherhood to science to mythology, Hila Ratzabi looks out at our wounded but vibrant planet and the animal experience of living on it. These poems bear witness to the force and fragility of the natural world and grapple with the complexities of being a human in that landscape: being implicated, vulnerable, humbled, dazzled. These poems are ways of framing and enduring loss, personal and collective and cultural, real and potential and anticipated. They impart a heightened appreciation for the solid and fleeting beauty that surrounds us. Here is an ode to the earth, a vision of its end, a celebration of its endurance, an aching and eloquent plea for intercession on its behalf. Ratzabi’s first collection is a howl, a prayer, a premonition, a reawakening, and an urgent call to action.
