Sinossi

In "Plays: Fourth Series," John Galsworthy delves into the complexities of human relationships and the societal constraints that bind them. This collection presents a compelling examination of themes such as morality, class struggle, and the inexorable passage of time. Through his nuanced characters and sharp dialogue, Galsworthy combines naturalism with a poetic sensibility, creating a vivid portrayal of early 20th-century life that resonates with universal truths. The interplay of personal and societal conflict reflects the literary context of the period, particularly in relation to the modernist movement, which sought to challenge traditional narratives and embrace innovative structures. John Galsworthy, a prominent figure in English literature, is best known for his explorations of social issues and moral dilemmas. His own experiences, including his background as a member of the British upper class and his involvement in social reform movements, heavily influenced his writing. Reluctantly, he confronted the realities of class disparity and human ambition, finding expression in the theatre, which allowed him to engage audiences with powerful performances and poignant messages. This collection is a must-read for those interested in the intersection of dramatic art and social commentary. Galsworthy's capacity to reflect the human experience within the confines of societal expectation offers readers an engaging exploration of ethical complexity that remains relevant today.

    "Stellar . . . with great humanity, grace and precision." —Nicole Sealey, author of Ordinary Beast 
     
     
     
    Gabrielle Bates's electric debut collection Judas Goat plumbs the depths of intimate relationships. The book's eponymous animal is used to lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared, and its harrowing existence echoes through this spellbinding collection of forty poems, which wrestle with betrayal and forced obedience, violence and young womanhood, and the "forbidden felt language" of sexual and sacred love. These poems conjure encounters with figures from scriptures, domesticated animals eyeing the wild, and mothering as a shape-shifting, spectral force; they question what it means to love another person and how to exorcise childhood fears. All the while, the Deep South haunts, and no matter how far away the speaker moves, the South always draws her back home. 
     
     
     
    In confession, in illumination, Bates establishes herself as an unflinching witness to the risks that desire necessitates, as Judas Goat holds listeners close and whispers its unforgettable lines.

    The sequel to The Law of Second Marriages, the best-selling and critically acclaimed poetry book by Christine. With "terrifying sparseness and intensity", as Cyril Wong observes, Christine threads together stories of the Separation between Singapore and Malaysia with the separation between her parents. Her searing vision, ambitious and intimate, opens up emotional spaces in unlikely places. 
     
    "Christine's writing balances a journalist's clarity with a poet's desire to color and invent. In this boldly innovative book, she tells how the history of a family and that of a nation curiously come to mirror each other. By alternating poems with news clippings, photos, and google searches, she also creates a dialogue between public and private, personal and political, fact and fantasy. At times, the effect is poignant, at times playful, but in every instance, Christine proves she knows how "to love/ like an economist" and make every word shine." - Elaine Equi, author of Click and Clone

    Quirky but connected, All Appears Ordinary invites us to look again at the day-to-day aspects of our lives. Big themes of relationships, the environment and childhood are handled lightly, maintaining a pervasive hopefulness. These poems are fearless in their desire to face everything wrong in the world and still say, 'Let me love this existence a little while longer'.
    Extraordinary and illuminating, Freya Bantiff's All Appears Ordinary is a winner of the 2023 New Poets' Prize.
