Beschreibung

“Now you are gone and for a while my womb lost its voice and forgot how to sing. / What is a song but a daughter’s love transcending time and space? / I am learning to listen.” 
 
When her beloved dog Ealga dies, Esther Vincent Xueming finds her home, which had been filled with the songs and sounds of Ealga’s life, abruptly silent. womb song chronicles Esther’s journey through grief as she wanders from landscape to landscape, from a temple in Bangkok to her subconscious, from the Kinabatangan River to the uncharted space of her dreams. All the while, the sea within her tosses. As Esther searches for healing, she finds herself asking, what does it mean to mother—a dog, a child, another non-human life—and be mothered? 
 
A new nature poetry collection that revolves around the relationship between humans and non-humans. Great for readers interested in spirituality and self-discovery as well as readers who are new to poetry.

    Reaching higher than the Tower of Babel, shining brighter than the Golden Calf, such is the idol of the future man will raise to worship. A rocketship of immense size and power, the culmination of the best efforts earth has to offer. By compulsion or chicanery, all have been forced to build it. And all will be changed by the Apocalypse its fiery crash from orbit ushers in... 
    In the Wasteland, where ignorant armies continue to fight, a small community is spared, eking out a meagre existence amidst the peril and threat. Always on the edge of disaster, they persevere in hope, with skills honed in the old world. After all, had not terrifying angels, visiting out of the dust, promised all would soon change again in the blink of eye? But, the young cannot wait, and a daughter of the tribe takes matters into her own hands... 
    The journey of man is the journey of earth, for all was made for us, and for us to destroy. And it is not just some men, but all who must choose, what is to be their highest value, the Ultimate. Will it be the rocket, in orbit high above, or what all men can share in equally: the love which uplifts every hand, every heart, and every soul it touches. Man's enemy might tempt us to lies and idols, but in the end we learn he who endures will be saved.

    Acerbic, precise and very funny, Pamela Crowe's poems explore home life and relationships in a delightfully forthright voice. Secret frustrations and anxieties are aired and private fantasies brought into the light, as odes blur into diatribes and psychodramas become love poems.
    
    Woven throughout The Bell Tower is a love of Jane Austen, Sylvia Plath, Wendy Cope and – above all – Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones. These are fierce, acutely observed poems that give weight to domestic minutiae and put words to helpless howls into the abyss.
    You, the cloud.
    
    Oh look! there you are,
    
    blobbing along as if you're best friends with rain
    
    and thunder is your dad. Fuck off.

    A four act play by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1892, Lady Windermere's Fan is another one of his productions that takes a half-sardonic, half-serious look into the intrigues of life.  
    In this play, Lady Windermere's idyllic life as the young wife of the rich Lord Windermere is disturbed by the rumour that her husband is visiting a lady of ill reputation, and is reportedly spending vast sums of money on her. When confronted with the fact, he fails to adequately explain himself, and furthermore insists on inviting said woman in question, Mrs Erlynne to her birthday ball that night! Distraught, Lady Windermere finds herself seriously entertaining the amorous advances of another man... but was is the truth behind the matter? And where, will her fan finally end up...?  
    Narrated by Michael Ward
