Sinopsis

In "Personae," Ezra Pound presents a compelling collection of poems that epitomize his innovative approach to modernist literature. This work showcases his signature use of imagism, where concise language and vivid imagery evoke profound emotions and refined insights. The collection operates within a broader literary context that challenges traditional poetic forms and embraces experimental structures, drawing upon various cultural and historical influences. Through an array of personae, Pound explores themes of identity, artistic creation, and the interplay between self and society, inviting readers to navigate the complexities of the human experience. Ezra Pound, an influential figure in early 20th-century literature, was deeply engaged with the avant-garde movements of his time, including modernism and imagism. His exposure to diverse cultures and languages, gained from extensive travels in Europe and beyond, profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Pound's quest for a new poetic language and his commitment to capturing the essence of contemporary life propelled him into the literary forefront, leading to the creation of "Personae," which distills his philosophical inquiries and cultural critiques. For readers seeking an enriching experience that blends aesthetic innovation with deep philosophical exploration, "Personae" stands as a testament to Ezra Pound's genius. This collection is not only a reflection of the modernist ethos but also an invitation to examine the layered complexities of personal and cultural identity. Engage with Pound's transformative vision and discover the nuances of modern thought through his remarkable poetry.

Titus Andronicus

Pierre Arthur Laure, Tom...

The noble Titus returns victorious to Rome, bringing Tamora, queen of the Goths, as his captive. When one of Tamora's sons is condemned to die, she vows revenge, and, aided by the villainous Aaron, she exacts a terrible retribution, inaugurating a grim cycle of rape, murder, and cannibalism. This macabre, often brilliant tragedy comes from the earliest stage of Shakespeare's dramatic career. 
Titus is played by David Troughton and Tamora by Harriet Walter. Paterson Joseph is Aaron, and David Burke is Marcus.

According to an article which appeared in the same issue of the Bahai Bulletin: “Each Prophet or Manifestation of God, when he comes to the world, founds a new dispensation, a new time, for his followers…. To-day those who believe in Baha’u’llah, are establishing the Bahai time. It establishes a new method of reckoning… The New Year begins on the twenty-first of March, in accord with the teachings of our Revelator…”Referring to one of Waite’s poems in 1902, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá wrote: “All poems shall be forgotten in the course of time save those that are extraordinary. Thy poems shall be chanted with melody and best voices in the center of Worship (Mashriqu'l-Adhkár) forevermore.” In one Tablet, He referred to her as “Thou bird of pleasing tones” and in another as “Thou eloquent and expressive poetess”. On the 15th of April 1902, she married Edgar F. Waite. In 1910, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá gave her the spiritual name of Shahnáz Khánum (Lady Shahnáz). Shahnáz passed away in her sleep on the 27th of May 1939.

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?
