Beschreibung

Dorothy Parker's "Enough Rope" is a seminal collection of poetry that deftly captures the wit, cynicism, and emotional depth characteristic of her literary style. Published in 1926, this compilation encompasses a range of themes, including love, disillusionment, and the complexities of the human experience. Parker's sharp, acerbic verses are marked by their brevity and precision, revealing an adept play with language that resonates with the modernist movement of her time. Through her incisive observations of societal conventions and personal malaise, Parker presents a poignant critique of the roaring twenties' superficiality and the often melancholic undercurrents of urban life. Parker, a central figure of the Algonquin Round Table, was renowned for her sharp intellect and cutting humor, traits that permeate her writing. Her experiences as a journalist and social commentator, alongside her tumultuous personal life, informed her poetic voice'Äîimbuing her work with both a sense of irony and deep emotional resonance. The struggles faced by women in the early 20th century prominently influence her exploration of relationships, making her work timelessly relevant. "Enough Rope" is essential reading for those who appreciate the evolution of American poetry and the indelible impact of feminist thought. Parker's unique ability to blend humor with pathos invites readers to navigate their own reflections on love and loss, making this collection a transformative literary experience.

    Reflecting on the career of a prominent poet, this biography focuses on Canadian wordsmith Barrie Nichol — more commonly known by his pen name, bpNichol — who was a practicing lay psychoanalyst and vice president of one the largest and long-lasting North American communes for more than a decade. Recognizing his international influence as both a visual and sound poet, Nichol's literary achievements are reviewed, including The Martyrology, a renowned, seven-volume poem, four novels, two musical comedies, six children's books, hundreds of hand-drawn visual poems, and even 10 episodes of Jim Henson's hit television series Fraggle Rock. Penned by one of Nichol's numerous literary collaborators, this account reveals the close connections among the writer's various activities, particularly how the autobiographical inquiries and Freudian dream theory linked with the young poet's biographical self-awareness. The book demonstrates how the Subject's main psychoanalytic client was his own writing, following Nichol as he explored its slips, accidental puns, and unintended meanings and implications for the communal future of the human species, both in high literature and comical prime time television.

    Hamlet and Macbeth are two dramas by William Shakespeare that have been thrilling audiences for centuries. Both have been adapted to radio and film and continue to be taught in high schools and universities. But as with most of Shakespeare' s works, modern audiences sometimes need some help absorbing elements of both plays. In a series of lectures, literary scholar Elizabeth McNamer provides engaging insights into these two Shakespeare classics.
    Providing glimpses into each play' s most compelling moments, Dr. McNamer first focuses on Hamlet, regarded by many as the greatest drama ever written. Because he is given much to philosophizing, the Danish prince fails to act— and this procrastination becomes Hamlet' s downfall. McNamer then tackles Shakespeare's most gruesome tragedy. Macbeth, who has murdered his way to the crown, finds there only a murderer's reward— no peace, no love, no honor, no friends— only curses. While these lectures are grounded in scholarly research, they are also accessible for contemporary audiences, helping them appreciate more fully these two great works.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Gibran’s book follows the final hours of the prophet Almustafa as he prepares to depart the city of Orphalese, offering distilled reflections on the fundamental forces of human existence—love, work, joy, sorrow, freedom, self-knowledge, and death. Each teaching arises from direct insight rather than doctrine, presenting life as an interwoven field of opposites whose tensions refine the soul. The text unfolds as a sequence of poetic addresses that cut through sentiment and moralism, pointing the reader toward inward clarity and responsibility.
