Sinopse

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Sonnets from the Portuguese" is a profound collection of love sonnets that meticulously chronicles the passionate evolution of her relationship with fellow poet Robert Browning. Written in the Petrarchan form, these sonnets diverge from conventional Victorian norms, employing a deeply personal and intimate tone that reflects the poet's internal struggles and emotional depth. The collection stands as both a celebration of love and a contemplation of the self, intertwining themes of desire, vulnerability, and transcendence through its lyrical beauty and emotional authenticity. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) emerged as a prominent figure in Victorian literature, often marked by her tumultuous personal life and her intellectual rigor. The backdrop of her relatively reclusive existence, shaped by her health issues and oppressive familial constraints, fueled her quest for personal freedom and artistic expression. It was through her passionate love affair with Robert Browning that she found the voice to articulate her innermost sentiments, crafting sonnets that convey both the joy and tumult inherent in love. "Sonnets from the Portuguese" is a compelling invitation for readers to explore the intimate workings of love and identity. Its timeless themes engage and resonate, making it an essential read for anyone interested in poetry that transcends emotional boundaries. This work's exquisite language and heartfelt expression promise to inspire and touch the hearts of readers across generations.

    "The most amazing trips are made are within an open heart! Intimate and universal, Love Talks is more than a poetry collection. Fall upon a caveat. A cue. A call to action. Harshada Pathare's vast verses honor existence and its lifeblood: honest interconnection—art, as formed by melding separate souls. Prepare for a pilgrimage. The terminus: unknown. Along the way, you'll wander hallowed halls and navigate nature's raw splendor. Cozy cafés, spattered studios, and delicious dreamscapes await. Take a moonlit promenade beneath a pantheistic sky that glints with possibility. Discover—rediscover—what it means to truly feel . . . Surrender to the sacred spell of love — 
    Like a messenger from gentler times, Harshada reminds readers to slow down, settle in, and drink of the sweetest enigmas. Dreamers, modern mavens, lovers — set aside a slate of time, and contemplate the timeless."

    When examining his own poetry Reinfred Dziedzorm Addo often finds he is merely a conduit for the words, the inspiration source itself being a force or another being. In acknowledging a poem’s inspiration source, he calls the resulting work a ‘dedicada’, meaning something written in dedication or in recognition of another. 
    A debut full poetry collection, Washed Over expands upon Addo’s chapbook The Dedicadas and is a journey through a space filled with a breadth of forces and beings active in one’s existence. Identity, chaos, autumn colors, exile, people learning from the universe itself...these and other dedicadas make this collection an exploration of the experiences of someone washed over by life’s many inspirations.

    The award-winning first book of poetry by Chris Tse – now available as an audiobook.
    Winner – Jessie Mackay Award for Best First Book of Poetry at the 2016 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards
    The world is full of murder
    
    and words are usually
    the first to go
    In 1905, white supremacist Lionel Terry murdered the Cantonese gold prospector Joe Kum Yung to draw attention to his crusade to rid New Zealand of Chinese and other East Asian immigrants.
    Chris Tse uses this story – and its reenactment for a documentary a hundred years later – to reflect on the experiences of Chinese migrants of the period, their wishes and hopes, their estrangement and alienation, their ghostly reverberation through a white-majority culture. Along the way we visit the gold fields of the south, a shipwreck in the Hokianga that left the spirits of 500 Chinese goldminers in an unmemorialised limbo for a hundred years and the streets of Newtown, Wellington, where Lionel Terry went out one night ' looking for a Chinaman' .
    Chris Tse' s flickering use of imagery, resonant language and flexible pronouns are particularly suited to the historic events he describes and the viewpoints he shifts through.  How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes  is a welcome poetic addition to New Zealand literature.

    'Something is shifting between you – again.
    Something terrifying
    and comforting.'
    Dre and Des. Young. Gifted. Black. He stayed. She left.
    Years later, Des and Dre come crashing back into each other's lives, carrying new secrets and old scars. With the clock counting down until Des has to leave again, memories of their past collide with their present and they're forced to question if destiny has brought them back together for a reason.
    Benedict Lombe's play Shifters is a fierce, funny and beautifully intoxicating celebration of the enduring power of memory and first love. It was performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Artistic Director Lynette Linton, before transferring to the Duke of York's Theatre in London's West End.
    Benedict Lombe's other plays include Lava, also for the Bush Theatre, which won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for Playwriting.
