Sinossi

In "The Poetry of Ezra Pound," readers are invited into the intricate web of Pound's innovative verse, where modernist sensibilities intertwine with classical traditions. This collection captures his distinctive use of imagery, rhythm, and free verse, showcasing his profound engagement with linguistic experimentation and cultural criticism. Pound's work defies conventional poetic boundaries, as he weaves historical references and personal reflections, mirroring the complexities of the early 20th century. Notable for its dynamic juxtaposition of diverse themes, this anthology underlines his role as a pivotal figure in shaping modern poetry and resisting the prevailing literary norms of his time. Ezra Pound, an eminent poet and critic, was a significant influencer of the modernist movement, advocating for radical departures from traditional forms. His exposure to various cultures during his extensive travels, particularly in Europe and Asia, imbued his work with a global perspective that sought to reconcile the ancient with the avant-garde. Driven by a desire to revitalize and reinvigorate poetry, Pound's personal philosophy and political engagements profoundly influenced his voice, leading to groundbreaking works that are still studied today. For those intrigued by poetic innovation and the evolution of literature, "The Poetry of Ezra Pound" is an essential read. It not only invites readers to explore the depths of Pound's poetic genius but also serves as an essential touchstone within the broader context of modernist literature. This anthology will enrich anyone's appreciation of poetry and provide valuable insight into the artistic currents that shaped the 20th century.

    Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall was born on the 25th July, 1829 in London into a working-class family where she received an ‘ordinary education’.   
    Whilst accounts differ, it is clear that she met the Pre-Raphaelite painter William Deverell whilst working in a millinery shop and he asked her to model for him, describing her as "magnificently tall, with a lovely figure, and a face of the most delicate and finished modelling ... she has grey eyes, and her hair is like dazzling copper, and shimmers with luster."  She personified female beauty for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and her face became well known in Victorian Britain, gracing many famous paintings such as John Everett Millais's Ophelia, where she is portrayed drowned, floating in a pond. From the experience she also caught pneumonia.  
    Although Siddal (she later changed the spelling of her name) endured a toxic and probably controlling relationship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who wouldn’t allow her to model for anyone but himself, she made great strides under his tuition and in her endeavours as an artist.  She was the only woman to exhibit with the Pre-Raphaelites in 1857 where she sold one of her paintings to an American collector. 
    She created many paintings, often inspired by Medieval themes, but her output of poetry was scant despite the positive reception to her verse.  Their motifs were sad and often tragic, dwelling on lost or doomed love.  As well they suggest a strong connection with nature and often plead with God with a haunting yet evocative simplicity. 
    Allied to this was a laudanum addiction which may have contributed to a still-born birth in 1861 and from which she never fully recovered.   
    Elizabeth Siddal committed suicide by an overdose, whilst pregnant, on the 11th February 1862.  She was 32.

    In 2022, James McDermott lost his sixty-year-old father to COVID after three weeks in intensive care. In* Father Myself*, his second collection from Nine Arches Press, McDermott explores his father's complex illness and death; grief; growth and how as a queer boy then a bereaved son, he had to learn to father himself.
    In clear-sighted and often hard-hitting poems, McDermott takes the reader onto the frontline of the pandemic – documenting the experience and trauma of a COVID-bereaved family with an unflinching eye. Both powerful and compassionate, these extraordinary poems have the capacity to go beyond simply a record of events, reaching sensitively for the human details that matter – the beat of a heart and movement of breath, the touch of a hand, the words we use for goodbye.

    When orphaned Mary Lennox comes to live at her uncle's great house on the Yorkshire Moors, she finds it full of secrets. Left to make her own entertainment, Mary stumbles upon a garden, overgrown and locked for years. A forbidden garden.
    Finding her way inside, with the help of a friendly robin, Mary begins to feel a connection to the house and its inhabitants. Then, one night, in one of the house's many rooms, she hears the sound of crying…
    Frances Hodgson Burnett's delightful and enduring tale celebrates the power of transformation and healing through nature. Elizabeth Newman's magical adaptation was premiered at Pitlochry Festival Theatre's open-air amphitheatre in 2023, where Newman is Artistic Director.
    This version will appeal to other professional and amateur companies looking for a much-loved classic that can be easily staged in theatres, outdoor venues – and gardens.
    'An enriching, affirmative show, steeped in gentle wonder' – The Stage
    'A near-perfect summer theatre experience for children… The Secret Garden is fast emerging as a key children's story for our time: a profound legend about how human beings need the natural world and its energy to survive and thrive… Newman's adaptation glows from its opening moments with love for, and understanding of, the basic dynamics of Hodgson Burnett's bold narrative… a beautiful show' – The Scotsman
    'Enrapturing… a tremendous fervour of pace… simply gorgeous… a thing of beauty' – Reviews Hub
    'Retains all the essentials of the original novel but brings in the whole thing at around 90 minutes, including an interval. It's appealingly crisp, which is helpful for the younger members of the audience, and it doesn't shun the novel's all-important use of Yorkshire dialect… a play that retains its own distinctive sense of charm' – WhatsOnStage
    'The perfect show for all the family… delights at every turn… a salve to the soul for grown ups in these troubled times and even better, the children in the audience clearly loved it' – Broadway Baby
