Sinopsis

Edward Thomas's "Last Poems" presents a poignant collection of verse that encapsulates the profound beauty and transience of nature, love, and mortality. Strikingly lyrical, the poems resonate with a sense of longing and introspection, often marrying rich imagery with an atmospheric depth that reflects the tumult of early 20th-century England. This anthology stands as a testament to Thomas's mastery of language and his ability to evoke emotion through detailed observations of the natural world, offering readers both a reflective and a meditative experience. Edward Thomas, a pivotal figure in the Georgian poetry movement, drew heavily from his own experiences and a deep connection to the English countryside. His life was marked by inner conflict and existential contemplation, elements that permeate his work in "Last Poems." Thomas's transition from prose to poetry, influenced by the tumult of war and his personal struggles, adds a layer of urgency and depth to each piece, making this collection a culmination of his artistic journey. I highly recommend "Last Poems" to scholars and lay readers alike for its lyricism and emotional resonance. Thomas's ability to articulate complex human experiences through the lens of nature provides invaluable insights, making this collection an essential exploration of the human condition and an eloquent farewell to a life deeply felt.

Most poets recollect or describe the present. In her third book of poems, Laura Quinney (whose “superbly spare meditations” Harold Bloom compared to the poetry of Paul Celan and Emily Dickinson) does something more uncanny: recalling what it once was like to anticipate the future, she remembers what she thought the past would look like from the present moment, and in so doing deepens the meaning of memory. This is her third book of poetry.

Tara is Kathleen Gallagher's first published book of verse. The twenty-six poems in the collection were written between 1979 and 1986. during this period Kathleen participated in poetry readings and workshops throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, and in Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco. Alongside this poetry, during this period Kathleen has also written plays for performance in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. 
"The presentation of these poems is exquisite, the work itself is interesting and image laden, often delicate in style." Fiona Kidman, NZ Listener 09/04/1988. 
"Kathleen Gallagher is not new to the poetry scene although this is her first published book, a promising collection. The poems illustrate a breaking free from the confines of the city and the return to the freedom of the coastline. Here the poet can feel free at ease with rocks and sea and gulls and at one with tangata whenua, as in the last poem - "I feel heavy with the sounds of tall buildings/ and hills/ hiding the sky/ and long for gulls/ and you/ easy in my heart/ holding my hand/simple as rain/washing the scars/ from my hair." Rangi Faith, The Press 20/7/1988

'Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.'
Christmas Eve, 1946, Bedford Falls. Down-on-his-luck banker George Bailey feels life has passed him by, and he's at the end of his rope.
But when George's guardian angel pays him a visit, he's amazed to discover what life in his beloved town would be like without him. Maybe it's a wonderful life, after all?
Based on the critically acclaimed Frank Capra movie, Mary Elliott Nelson's reimagining is a joyful story of love, hope and community.
Commissioned by New Perspectives Theatre, It's a Wonderful Life has been produced around the UK, including a revival in 2023 at Reading Rep Theatre. Written for four actors, but suitable for many more, it offers other theatre companies a heartfelt adaptation of a much-loved classic to charm and delight audiences – at Christmas or any other time of the year!
