  Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at their command, it is not surprising that English poets have produced some of the most beautiful, moving, and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this collection we look at Daniel Sheehan, a frequent contributor to anthologies and collections.It is famously said that no man is an island—though many are still mysterious. Some seek limelight while others seek the shadows. In the case of Daniel Sheehan, either little is known of him or he wants little to be known; probably the latter. His work hints at a great love and a journey that is unknown—a journey both with someone and for someone.

  pbiA masterwork from one of Canada’s most important poets/b/i/p
  pReferencing the post-war neorealist film by Vittorio De Sica, Mary di Michele’s iBicycle Thieves/i commemorates her Italian past and her life in Canada through elegy and acts of translation of text and of self./p
  pThe collection opens with a kind of hymn to life on the planet, sung from the peak of that urban island, Montreal — an attempt to see beyond death. The book moves into a sequence of poems described by Sharon Thesen as the poet “envisioning the passage of time under the ‘full and waning’ moon of Mount Royal’s beacon cross, recalling her Italian immigrant parents in Toronto and her current life in Montreal [. . .] a sort of iDecameron/i.”/p
  pThesen’s description is apt for the collection as a whole, which moves into the poet’s autobiography — in search of catharsis through literature — and pays tributes to poets who have been part of the literary landscape di Michele now inhabits. iBicycle Thieves/i is poetry as time machine, transcending the borders between life and death, language and culture./p

  Up-and-coming poet Jamie Sharpe presents a finely tuned second collection
  
  Cut-up Apologetic, Sharpe’s second collection, explores aging in a world where youth is terrible and something we desperately want back. These are poems about failing to leave our mark while marks are left on us — about the collective insatiability of emptying surroundings in an attempt to fill ourselves.
  
  At the same time,  is naïve and playful even when examining fear expressed as discrimination or the ways restlessness transitions into an inertia spelling cultural death. Sharpe finds strange new horizons “extend(ing)/only backward, into memory.”

  In the heat of summer, Sonya and her Uncle Vanya while away their days on a crumbling estate deep in the countryside, visited occasionally by the only local doctor Astrov.
  However, when Sonya's father, Professor Serebryakov, suddenly returns with his restless, alluring, new wife, declaring his intention to sell the house, the polite façades crumble and long-repressed feelings start to emerge with devastating consequences.
  Olivier Award-winner Conor McPherson's stunning adaptation of Anton Chekhov's masterpiece, Uncle Vanya, is a portrayal of life at the turn of the twentieth century, full of tumultuous frustration, dark humour and hidden passions. It premiered at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in January 2020, directed by Ian Rickson.
