  Swallow - Poems

  Miranda Field

  From the microcosmic wilderness of an overgrown back yard to the cool, glassed-in exhibits in a natural history museum, Swallow swoops and darts, tangling the lines we draw between the wild and the cultivated. In her debut collection, Miranda Field explores a world composed equally of shadow and substance, filled not just with beauty but also with a kind of savage experience. But Swallow is more than a crisscrossing of boundaries. It is an imperative, a dare: Go ahead, do as Eve did; let hunger take you wherever it will.   According to James Longenbach, these poems are "too beautifully made to idealize freedom, too much in love with vicissitude to idealize beauty. Read these poems, enter them, and be hungry forever."

  It's 1975. The Millgarth Incident Room in Leeds is the epicentre of the biggest manhunt in British history, for one of the most notorious serial killers: the Yorkshire Ripper.
  With public and political pressure mounting, hundreds of officers must work around the clock and resort to increasingly audacious attempts to end one man's campaign of terror.
  Olivia Hirst and David Byrne's 'beautifully crafted' (Guardian) play goes behind the scenes to investigate the case that nearly broke the British police force.
  The Incident Room was first performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019, transferring to New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2020, ahead of an Off-Broadway run.
  'The ingenuity of this piece is that it gives you a pacey, clock-ticking sense of what things were like' - Telegraph
  'Tense and chilling' - Daily Mail
  'Completely compelling to watch… intelligent, imaginative and, most of all, damn interesting' - The Stage

  Quick - Aphorisms

  George Murray

  pbiThe highly anticipated follow-up to the wildly popular /iGlimpse/b/p
  piQuick/i is George Murray’s second collection of aphorisms — a form that straddles the lines between poetry, philosophy, humour, and prose. He describes these pieces as “poetic essences” — sometimes even as “poems, without all the poetry getting in the way.” Some are deep, some clever, some funny, some all three. The best, he says, should read like common-sense statements that have never actually been expressed./p
  pBuilt out of more than 450 short statements, iQuick/i is a series of thoughts and ruminations, any one of which could be an entire poem but instead has been compressed into a single profundity. Following his bestselling iGlimpse/i, Murray continues to explore a wide range of themes: from deep existential disquiet to the comforts of the meaning of belief; from what it means to be alive to how the world deals with hate, love, the sublime, and the ridiculous./p

  The Poetry of Katherine...

  Katherine Mansfield

  Katherine was born on the 14th October 1888 into a prominent family in Wellington, New Zealand, the middle child of five. 
   
  A gifted celloist, at one point she thought she might take it up professionally but writing gradually began to move to the forefront of her interests. Her first writings were published at an early age in school magazines. 
   
  At 19 Katherine left for England where she met and befriended the modernist writers D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf amongst others. She then travelled to Europe before returning to New Zealand. There she began to write the short stories that she would later become so famous for. Her stories often focus on moments of disruption and frequently open rather abruptly.  
   
  There was another less-heralded side to Katherine’s writings; that of poetry.  Her verse certainly reflects much of the themes of her life and interests.   Many poems are beautiful, thoughtful, tender and observant works on the human condition.  Some though seem out of kilter for so great a talent, almost child-like in form and content.  But taken as yet another facet of her work they accomplish much in helping us to understand her. 
   
  By 1908 she had returned to London and to a rather more bohemian lifestyle. Life was to be lived and enjoyed.  A passionate affair resulted in her becoming pregnant and in her being married off to an older man.   But she left him the same evening with the marriage unconsummated. She was then to miscarry and be cut out of her mother’s will (allegedly because of her lesbianism). 
   
  In 1911 she was to start a relationship with John Middleton Murry, a magazine editor, and although it was volatile he supported her work and she wrote some of her best stories. 
   
  During the First World War Mansfield contracted extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which rendered any return or visit to New Zealand impossible and led to her death at the tender age of 34 on 9th January 1923 in Fontainebleau, France.

  The sixth month of the Gregorian calendar heralds a new season – Summer.  Lengthening days, Sunshine days, Glorious days! 
   
  In this month our classic poets flex their lexicons with verse that describes all manner of events.  The weather may be warm or windy, showers, squalls and storms may momentarily darken skies with grey foreboding but Nature will soon be at work again on a palette of such bright and dazzling hues that the landscape is reborn again.
