The Chicago Race Riot of 1919, the most intense of the riots comprising the nation's Red Summer, has shaped the last century but is not widely discussed.In 1919, award-winning poet Eve L. Ewing explores the story of this event—which lasted eight days and resulted in thirty-eight deaths and almost 500 injuries—through poems recounting the stories of everyday people trying to survive and thrive in the city. Ewing uses speculative and Afrofuturist lenses to recast history, and illuminates the thin line between the past and the present.Show book
Richard le Gallienne was an English poet and critic, who, although unfamiliar with the Persian language, had a profound interest in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In 1897 he published a collection of 211 quatrains, which was based on earlier English translations, in particular the prose version by Justin Huntly McCarthy. A expanded edition, containing fifty additional quatrains was published in 1901, and this has been used for the present recording. (Summary by Algy Pug)Show book

The ghosts of lives lived and opportunities missed are laid to rest as new and ancient betrayals are confronted and forgiven. 'coarse, tart and funny' - The Times 'DC Moore is the laureate of disappointed blokes in boozers and Jim is one of his most accurate, compassionate inventions' - Time Out 'a savvy, worldly piece about deception and loyalty. Moore is one of the best thirty-something playwrights around, an expert analyst of half-truths and human weakness' - Evening StandardShow book
