Emily Brontë

Beschreibung

In "The Complete Poetry of Emily Bront√´," readers are presented with a profound collection that unearths the lyrical depth and emotional intensity characteristic of Bront√´'s oeuvre. This compilation showcases her unique use of meter and rhyme, often intertwined with themes of nature, isolation, and passionate yearning. The poems, steeped in the Romantic tradition, resonate with personal and universal struggles, providing insight into Bront√´'s inner world and the broader human experience. Often overshadowed by her notable novel, "Wuthering Heights," this poetry reflects Bront√´'s keen observation of the natural world and her exploration of the sublime, all while challenging the conventional constraints of 19th-century literary norms. Emily Bront√´ (1818-1848) emerged from the moors of Yorkshire, a landscape that deeply influenced her artistry. As one of the Bront√´ sisters, she was part of a literary family that encouraged her creative expression. Despite leading a largely reclusive life, her profound introspection and keen intelligence culminated in a rich poetic legacy that reveals the struggles and aspirations of her time. Bront√´'s unique perspective as a woman writer in a male-dominated literary world adds a layer of complexity to her work, inviting critical examination and appreciation. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking to delve into the emotional and thematic richness of Bront√´'s work. Perfect for scholars, students, and poetry enthusiasts, "The Complete Poetry of Emily Bront√´" provides an essential exploration of her literary genius, enhancing our understanding of both her poetry and the context in which it was crafted.

King Troll (The Fawn)

Sonali Bhattacharyya

'I'll do anything for you. I can do anything for you.'
Nikita and Riya are two South Asian sisters: insecure, stateless and desperate for somewhere to call 'home'.
Nikita's work with young migrants requires her to keep her saviour complex in check as she negotiates the challenges and hypocrisy of the third sector. Meanwhile, Riya is offered the chance to create an advocate in the form of a homunculus (or fawn), and sees a chance to elevate herself above the cruelty meted out to others.
Sonali Bhattacharyya's play King Troll (The Fawn) is a dark and dystopian exploration of migrant experiences in all their complexity – and the troll that lives within all of us, whispering 'me, not us', and definitely 'me first'. It was a finalist for the 2023 Women's Prize for Playwriting, and was first performed as a co-production between Kali Theatre and New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Milli Bhatia.

Night Sky with Exit Wounds

Ocean Vuong

WINNER of the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize 
 
 
 
A New York Times Top 10 Book of 2016 
 
 
 
"There is a powerful emotional undertow to these poems that springs from Mr. Vuong's sincerity and candor, and from his ability to capture specific moments in time with both photographic clarity and a sense of the evanescence of all earthly things." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times 
 
 
 
Library Journal 2016 Best Books of the Year WINNER, 2016 Whiting Award WINNER, 2017 Publishing Triangle's Thom Gunn Award FINALIST, 2017 Kate Tufts Discovery Award FINALIST, 2017 Lambda Literary Award FINALIST 
 
 
 
In his haunting and fearless debut, Ocean Vuong walks a tightrope of historic and personal violences, creating an interrogation of the American body as a borderless space of both failure and triumph. At once vulnerable and redemptive, dreamlike and visceral, compassionate and unforgiving, these poems seek a myriad existence without forgetting the prerequisite of self-preservation in a world bent on extinguishing its othered voices. Vuong's poems show, through breath, cadence, and unrepentant enthrallment, that a gentle palm on a chest can calm the most necessary of hungers.

Interview with the Sphinx -...

Jack Matthews

In this provocative & immensely irritating comic play, the Sphinx from ancient Greece is interviewed in modern times as though she were a celebrity pop star. The problem is she never answers any questions — never directly anyway. Instead she prefers just dishing the dirt on everybody. ON HOMER: “I never was exactly sure which one Homer was. I’m positive he wasn’t the blind one, though; that was just a silly story they started telling a few centuries later”. ON OEDIPUS: “Eddie was terribly conceited, you know … of course he was smart and handsome and, oh, just had a way of carrying himself that impressed everybody. In spite of his foot.” Bit by bit the Interviewer learns that what happens in Greek legend didn’t happen exactly the way Sophocles described it. Fortunately, the Sphinx offers the Interviewer another riddle … if only he could figure out what exactly it is! This witty 67 minute audio play stars Jill Brumer as the Sphinx and Neal Gage as the Interviewer. Part Tom Stoppard, part Monty Python, part Oscar Wilde, this play by Jack Matthews combines philosophical paradoxes with fast-paced verbal pyrotechnics. It offers the perfect antidote to people who remembered ancient literature as nothing but stuffy and melodramatic characters with hard-to-pronounce names.
Neal Gage is a Houston actor and teacher who has appeared in several features and comic sketch videos on Funny or Die. Jill Brumer has an MFA in Media & Performing Arts and teaches theater at Houston colleges. Jack Matthews (1925-2013) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright and former professor in Ohio.
The play was first published & performed in 1992; later it was revised & expanded for the 2013 audio production.
