Sinopsis

The Poetry Hour – Volume 5. Poetry is often cited as our greatest use of words.  The English language has well over a million of them and poets down the ages seem, at times, to make use of every single one.  But often they use them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the human condition.  Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings. Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to children’s textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to our lives today. Where to start? How to do that? Poetry can be difficult. We’ve put together some very eclectic Poetry Hours, with a broad range of poets and themes, to entice you and seduce you with all manner of temptations.  In this hour we introduce poets of the quality and breadth of Shelley, Edith Nesbit and Alfred Austin as well as themes on Wales, Summer and more. All of them are from Portable Poetry, a dedicated poetry publisher. We believe that poetry should be a part of our everyday lives, uplifting the soul & reaching the parts that other arts can’t.  Our range of audiobooks and ebooks cover volumes on some of our greatest poets to anthologies of seasons, months, places and a wide range of themes.  Portable Poetry can found at iTunes, Audible, the digital music section on Amazon and most other digital stores. This audio book is also duplicated in print as an ebook. Same title. Same words. Perhaps a different experience. But with Amazon’s whispersync you can pick up and put down on any device – start on audio, continue in print and any which way after that.  Portable poetry – Let us join you  for the journey.  The contents of this volume are: The Poetry of Thomas Hood (An Introduction, To A False Friend, False Poets and True – To Wordsworth, Flowers, I Remember I Remember, Death), The Poetry of Letitia Elizabeth Landon (An Introduction, Revenge, The Soldiers Funeral, The Pilgrim), The Poets of 19th Century America (An Introduction – Volume 1, I Found the Words To Every Thought by Emily Dickinson, A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Wild Honeysuckle by Philip Freneau, A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe, The Berg, A Dream by Herman Melville), The Poetry of Edith Nesbit (An Introduction, The Beatific Vision, Mayday, The Day of Judgement, Prayer in Time of War, Hop Picking, Wedding Day), The Poetry of Summer (An Introduction, Shall I Compare Thee to a Summers Day – Sonnet XVIII - by William Shakespeare, Summer Song by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, A Night Rain In Summer by James Henry Leigh Hunt, Dog Days by Amy Lowell, Summer by Kahlil Gibran, Summer is Ended by Christina Rossetti), The Poetry of Alfred Austin (An Introduction, In Praise of England, Sorrow’s Importunities, A Farewell to Youth, Spiritual Love, By The Fates), Welsh Poetry (An Introduction, Faith by George Herbert, Expecting the Lord by Ann Griffiths, In The Valley of the Elwry by Gerard Manley Hopkins, The Kingfisher by W H Davies, Friends Departed by Henry Vaughan), The Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley (An Introduction, Stanzas April 1814, Love’s Philosophy, Ode to the West Wind).

    Lover's Vows

    Lovers' Vows (1798), a play by Elizabeth Inchbald arguably best known now for having been featured in Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park (1814), is one of at least four adaptations of August von Kotzebue's Das Kind der Liebe (1780; literally "Child of Love," or "Natural Son," as it is often translated), all of which were published between 1798 and 1800. Inchbald's version is the only one to have been performed. Dealing as it does with sex outside marriage and illegitimate birth, Inchbald in the Preface to the published version declares herself to have been highly sensitive to the task of adapting the original German text for "an English audience." Even so, she left the setting as Germany.The play was first performed at Covent Garden on Thursday, 11 October 1798, and was an immediate success: it ran for forty-two nights, "making it by some distance Covent Garden's most successful venture of that season," and went on to be performed in Bristol, Newcastle, Bath, and elsewhere. It was likewise successful as a print publication, though it also aroused controversy about its "levelling" politics and moral ambiguity. Anne Plumptre, who translated Kotzebue's play as The Natural Son, wrote (perhaps not disinterestedly as the production of Inchbald's work effectively precluded the production of her own) that Inchbald had transformed the character of Amelia into a "forward country hoyden." Others, however, defended the morality of the play. And indeed, various characters indulge in considerable moralizing about charity, honour, and forgiveness. (Summary by wikipedia)

    Bayview is the only B&B closed for business on the busiest weekend of the year in this faded seaside town. Greasy fish 'n' chips, sticks of rock and pot-bellied Spiderman is throwing himself off the pier. The annual 'Birdman' competition is in full flight.
    Alison Carr's play Caterpillar is a darkly funny, searing and tender drama about the moment when we find ourselves standing on the edge, and wonder if we dare to step off.
    A finalist in the prestigious Theatre503 Playwriting Award, Caterpillar premiered at Theatre503, London, in August 2018, prior to the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough.

    Absalom and Achitophel

    John Dryden published Absalom and Achitophel: A Poem in 1681. It is an elaborate historical allegory using the political situation faced by King David (2 Samuel 14-18) to mirror that faced by Charles II. Each monarch had a son whom a high-ranking minister attempted to use against him. James Scott, first Duke of Monmouth, Charles II's illegitimate son, was detected planning a rebellion late in 1681, supposedly instigated by the Earl of Shaftesbury, who was tried for high treason, and it is believed that Dryden wrote the poem in an effort to sway the jury in his trial. The fates of both Absalom (Monmouth) and Achitophel (Shaftesbury) are left unspecified at the end of the poem (Monmouth did rebel in 1685, after his father's death, and was executed, and Shaftesbury was acquitted), but we are left to surmise that their fates would resemble those of their Biblical counterparts: Absalom was killed against David's instructions and Achitophel hanged himself.The poem can be enjoyed without any special knowledge of either the Bible or seventeenth-century English history, but it is useful to understand why Monmouth (AKA Absalom) was such a useful tool to use against his father: Charles had many illegitimate offspring, but his wife was barren, so at his death the crown would pass (did pass) to his brother, James, who was Catholic, but Monmouth was Protestant as well as well-beloved by both the king and the people. England had good reason to dread a return of officially enforced Catholicism. The narrator's urbane attitude toward David's amatory adventures in the opening of the poem and his burlesque of the supposed Jebusitical plot (the "Popish Plot" of 1678) establish clearly his Tory bias in favor of the Establishment and his disdain of the panic caused by fear of Catholicism (Dryden himself converted to the Catholic faith at some time before 1685).
