Sinopse

In "The Three Taverns: A Book of Poems," Edwin Arlington Robinson explores the depths of human experience through a series of poignant and introspective verses. Published in 1920, this collection showcases Robinson's sophisticated use of blank verse and his keen observation of life's ephemeral nature. The poems, often infused with the ambiance of small-town America, reflect themes of loneliness, mortality, and the complexity of personal relationships. Robinson's literary style combines a lyrical quality with philosophical undertones, giving voice to the struggles and triumphs of everyday life, all while drawing on the rich tradition of American realism. Edwin Arlington Robinson, a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, drew from his own experiences of isolation and longing throughout his life, particularly during his early years in Gardiner, Maine. His personal encounters with loss and disappointment often permeated his work, providing a deeply empathetic lens through which he examined the human condition. These themes resonate powerfully in "The Three Taverns," as Robinson crafts a narrative that is both universal in its emotional depth and unique to his own experiences. I highly recommend "The Three Taverns" to readers who appreciate poetry that marries psychological insight with artistic expression. Robinson's masterful craftsmanship and emotional authenticity invite reflection and provoke thought, making this collection a lasting contribution to American poetry.

As disaster befalls the spacecraft and planet Earth falls apart, Silas and Lin's love is tested to the limit.
Timothy X Atack's DELAY is a love story. A suspenseful, heartwrenching yet hopeful queer sci-fi stage play about saying what you mean and saying goodbye. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2025.
