Sinopse

Ferenc Molnár's "Liliom: A Legend in Seven Scenes and a Prologue" is a theatrical masterpiece that intricately weaves elements of realism and fantasy into a poignant narrative. Set in the vibrant landscape of Budapest, the play explores the life of Liliom, a flawed yet charismatic carousel barker whose tumultuous relationships and fateful decisions reveal the tragic beauty of the human condition. With sharp dialogue and a rich symbolic framework, Molnár crafts a tale that transcends its setting, delving into universal themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption, all while maintaining a distinctively lyrical and evocative literary style that captivates audiences and readers alike. The dramatic structure, divided into concise scenes, encapsulates a whirlwind of emotions, compelling the audience to reflect on the nature of dreams versus reality. Ferenc Molnár (1878-1952) was a Hungarian playwright and novelist, renowned for his contributions to early 20th-century theatre. His experiences in Budapest's bustling social landscape and his exploration of the complexities of human relationships significantly influenced his writing. Deeply embedded in the socio-political milieu of his time, Molnár sought to challenge societal norms and expectations, which is vividly illustrated in "Liliom." Having fled Hungary due to political unrest, he also imbued the play with a sense of longing and nostalgia that resonates throughout the narrative. For readers and theatre enthusiasts alike, "Liliom" is an essential exploration of human emotion and existential questioning. Molnár's masterful crafting of character arcs and his poignant commentary on love and personal struggle make this play not only a critical piece of Hungarian literature but a timeless work that speaks to the heart of humanity's quest for meaning. This poignant legend is sure to remain a lasting influence on those who encounter it, inviting reflection and deeper understanding.

These poems of memory and girlhood are powerful evocations of the changing body and the male gaze. A raw, absurdist humour provides a sense of defiance throughout, and the tone is in turns sad, angry, rue.– Hannah Lowe

Freedom House is a poetry collection that explores internal, interpersonal, and systemic freedom.  
In this debut full-length collection, KB Brookins’ formally diverse, music-influenced poetry explores transness, politics of the body, gentrification, sexual violence, climate change, masculinity, and afrofuturism while chronicling their transition and walking readers through different “rooms”. The speaker isn’t afraid to call themselves out while also bending time, displaying the terror of being Black/queer/trans in Texas, and more — all while using humor and craft.  
What does freedom look like? What can we learn from nature and our past? How do you reintroduce yourself in a world that refuses queerness? How can we use poetry as a tool in the toolbox that helps build freedom? This collection explores those questions, and manifests a world where Black, queer, and trans people get to live.

Poetry of the senses

My love of poetry was always unrequited. As with all young boys, my English teachers forced me to memorize and recite unintelligible Shakespearean sonnets and turn bad blood into worse ink. For the next half-century, I never gave it a chance. 
But at the age of 71, poetry came in search of me.  
The theme of ‘senses’ made sense. As a physician and winemaker, I would try to turn exquisite impressions into exquisite expressions, solvents for the soul dipped in dyes of the heart.  
There are 17 poems in this sense-ational collection, each with a different form, climbing higher on the sensory evolutionary ladder from the cranial nerves to the prefrontal cortex and beyond.  
Writing them was like dropping a rose petal into an elevator shaft and waiting for the echo.  
Read these short, jagged-edged lines as imaginary gardens of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of dictionary.
