Sinossi

In "The Heart of England," Edward Thomas weaves a rich tapestry of prose that captures the essence of the English landscape and its profound impact on the human spirit. This contemplative work merges memoir with poetry, employing vivid imagery and a lyrical style that invites readers to explore the interplay between nature and the psyche. As Thomas reflects on various locations, the book emerges not just as a geographical journey but as an exploration of identity and belonging, offering insights into the social and cultural context of early 20th-century England, a time marked by rapid change and introspection. Edward Thomas, a key figure in the early modernist movement, was a poet and essayist who often drew upon his deep love for nature and personal experiences in his writings. His own struggles with identity and purpose, amplified by the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, imbued his work with a sense of urgency and introspection. Thomas's life, marked by a passion for walking and observing the English countryside, inevitably shaped the heartfelt observations and philosophical musings that characterize this seminal work. I highly recommend "The Heart of England" to readers seeking to connect with nature and reflect on their own emotional landscapes. Thomas's evocative prose not only invites appreciation of the natural world but also encourages a deeper understanding of one's place within it, making this a timeless read for both lovers of literature and nature.

Saved to Cloud

Kate Foley

The algorithm
of my own life, faded
and spidery,
is written,
not keyed in.
From bombsites used as childhood playgrounds to lockdown FaceTime calls, Kate Foley looks back on almost nine decades of life – a life characterised by curiosity, resistance and a strong connection with the natural world.
Appreciation and concern for the planet runs through this frank and moving collection, which muses on the notions of faith and belief, ultimately rejecting both Whitehall politics and traditional religion as inadequate to deal with environmental crisis.
Simultaneously nostalgic and highly concerned with the future, Kate Foley's candid reminiscence and simple use of language draw us softly into consideration of life's big questions: What's it all for? How will we be remembered?
Will it build again, our earth?

Driftwood

Tim Foley

'I should've seen him. Felt him. Walking across the sand. His antlers, twisting, reaching up to the moon. But the Mariner didn't come. The Mariner didn't come.'
Mark and Tiny go for walks along the beach at Seaton Carew, County Durham. Their dad is dying, and their town is crumbling. Family rifts and political divides try to pull them apart, and a figure made of driftwood stalks the shore at night.
Tim Foley's Driftwood is an intoxicating and mystical play about love, belonging and the tides within us. It was premiered in 2023 by Pentabus and ThickSkin on a tour of the UK, co-directed by Neil Bettles and Elle While.
