Synopsis

In "A Book of Nonsense," Edward Lear crafts a rich tapestry of whimsical verses that revolutionized the genre of children's literature. Utilizing a unique blend of clever wordplay, limericks, and absurd imagery, Lear presents a series of playful and nonsensical poems that defy conventional logic. The vivid illustrations accompanying his words create a delightful visual experience, enhancing the text's playful spirit. This book is not only a celebration of imagination but also reflects the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in childhood and creativity, marking a departure from didactic literature that previously dominated the scene. Edward Lear was not only a poet but also a gifted artist and illustrator, whose experiences traveling across Europe deeply influenced his work. Known for his own bouts with illness and a lifelong struggle with mental health, Lear's perspective on life's absurdities permeates his writing. Through his unique lens, Lear invites readers to find joy in nonsense and to appreciate the beauty of the illogical, an outlook shaped by his personal and artistic journey, which encompassed both laughter and sorrow. I wholeheartedly recommend "A Book of Nonsense" to readers of all ages. Its playful absurdity and rich illustration encourage a love for language and imagination, making it a crucial addition to any literary collection. Lear's work offers a refreshing respite from reality, inviting readers to embrace the delightful chaos of his nonsensical world.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore those playwrights who within a few lines could turn and express their words as very distinguished verse and so become as known for poetry as were for their plays.

Written in elevated verse and shaped in the tradition of Romantic and Pre-Raphaelite drama, Anesidora illustrates the duality of spirituality and passionate love. Anesidora, at its heart, is a symbolic play that signifies the tempestuous awakening of passionate love within a young girl. 
    Performed by a full cast with immersive sound and dramatic narration, this dramatised version captures the passion and intensity of the play, drawing the listener into its romantic and hypnotic verse.

    The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare first performed in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, such as Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.
    Set in Rome in 44 BC, the play depicts the moral dilemma of Brutus as he joins a conspiracy led by Cassius to murder Julius Caesar to prevent him from becoming dictator of Rome. Following Caesar's death, Rome is thrust into a period of civil war, and the republic the conspirators sought to preserve is lost forever.
    Although the play is named Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines as the title character; and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship. 
    Among the most significant works William Shakespeare: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.

    Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Collection Competition.
    Through visceral and vulnerable poetry, Ricky Ray meditates on the pain and gratitude that arise from a keenly felt awareness of our fleeting existence. Recognizing his humanity as a facet of natural processes, Ricky measures the ache of living in a disabled body against the joy of \'being lived\' by the places he inhabits. As we accompany him and his soul dog, Addie, through the scenic woodlands of New England, the concrete jungle of Manhattan, and the swamps of the Deep South, the lines between humans, animals and nature begin to blur and move in concert. Shifting between forms both physical and elemental, we read of an existence lived not 'upon / but as one' with the Earth, \'whose being we are throughout and beyond our brief sojourn as human\'. At the heart of this collection is the transformative experience of Ricky's life with an old brown dog, which teaches that soul isn't merely something we possess—it's an animacy deeply shared.
