Burnt Out

Gary Mitchell

Sinopsis

On the surface, Michael and Cheryl have it all: a posh new home in suburban Belfast, good jobs, 2.4 pets.
But things take a sinister turn when, living opposite a bonfire site, they unwittingly become the targets of a hate campaign involving missing animals, graffiti and explosions…
Gary Mitchell's play Burnt Out is a blackly comic psychological thriller exposing the darker side of suburban life. It was first performed in 2023 at the Lyric Theatre Belfast, as part of the Belfast International Arts Festival.
Gary Mitchell is a British playwright based in Northern Ireland. His plays, many of them political thrillers about contemporary life in Belfast, have been widely performed, and he has been called 'Northern Ireland's greatest playwright' (Guardian).
'His writing has the blazing conviction of lived experience combined with an unfashionable relish for strong plots. His best work has a stomach-churning intensity'Daily Telegraph

Heartland Inspirations

Ronald Franklin Saia

Heartland Inspirations, a compilation of 147 poems written and read by Ronald Franklin Saia, is divided into five sections, including Country Cruzin (inspirations from travels, experiences, and observations), He Speaks to Me (inspirations born out of faith and living), It's Amore (inspirations born out of real life and hope for sharing true love), Food Folks (inspirations of family), and Stages of Life (inspirations earned, learned, hoped for). 
Some poems will bring tears, some poems will make you laugh, and some will draw you closer to our Lord. Most of all, this audio-book will bring you joy. 
Ronald Franklin Saia was born a grandson to an Italian from Sutera, Sicily. Growing up in rural Kentucky gave Ronald a deep feeling in his soul for the outdoors. He hunted, trapped, rode his buckskin mare Old Beauty, slept under the stars, and cooked supper over an open camp fire. He is a real American patriot. While Ronald worked his way through college, he lived at home with his precious mother, Mary, and father, Victor. 
What a blessing it was for God to have chosen them for his parents. For a time, he worked in Venezuela where he met his wife, Barb. He has traveled in South and Central America, and Europe. Ronald's inspirational poetry is straight from his heart and represents a true appreciation for creation and God's works along with life's experiences and personal observations.

The Untranslatable I

Roxanna Bennett

In unmeaningable, her previous Trillium Poetry Award winning book with Gordon Hill Press, Roxanna Bennett renovated the North American disability poetics canon via her queer fusion of invisible and visible disability identities. The Untranslatable I builds on Roxanna's acute sense of form and cripping of myth by establishing a more reflective, heartbreaking voice that asks, "Was I chosen? Is this a gift or a curse?" and provides answers not as prescribed path or cure, but as beautiful song.

Born in England – Exploring...

John Dryden, Alfred Lord...

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.

Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.

In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history.

England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature. Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy. These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art. Genius is written in their names.

In this volume our poems come from the East Midlands in the centre of England. Once a vast manufacturing hub whose industries invented, created and exported the future to the entire world. From its industry and grime came poets of the first rank including Alfred Lord Tennyson, D H Lawrence, Anne Bradstreet, John Dryden, John Clare and many others.

Quantum A New Reality

Justin Wesenberg

Quantum is a channeled poetry book about manifesting a new reality for ourselves, and the planet.  
This poetry book is for those who are ready to attract, manifest, and magnetize all that they desire. 
It’s time to create 
A new reality 
So that you can live 
In your totality 
Beautiful and abundant 
Alive and free 
It's now time 
For you to see 
How to create and manifest 
All that you believe 
So that you can allow yourself 
To truly receive 
All that you wish for 
And all that you desire 
Will come to you 
In the sacred fire 
Allow yourself 
To illuminate the night 
And shine like the stars 
With your infinite light 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by the quantum queen, who helped me write a brand new dream. 
If it’s time for you to attract, manifest, and magnetize all your desires, allow Quantum A New Reality to help you anchor the vibration of a new reality!

Foam

Harry McDonald

'You forget I knew you were a queer long before I knew you were a fascist.'
1974, a public lavatory. Nicky shaves his head, watched by an older man.
Publicly, Nicky is a skinhead. And a neo-Nazi. But right now, in this place, that doesn't matter. This is not the first man Nicky has met in a public toilet, and he won't be the last…
Spanning twenty years and inspired by a true story, Foam examines the nature of identity and the consequences of right-wing extremist ideology against the backdrop of London's skinhead and gay scenes of the 1970s and 1980s.
Colliding the terrifyingly personal and the violently political, Harry McDonald's play Foam was first performed at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Matthew Iliffe.

Picasso - Poetesque

Mike Blake

PICASSO : Poetesque  
A poem about the cubist painter of the last Century (20th). 
He was a surrealist artist, and in his earlier works painted in the neoclassical. 
Born in Spain, he escaped Franco's regime by being in exile in France. 
Some of his cubist art may have been influenced by his knowledge of the atrocities committed during 
the Spanish Civil war, especially in his Masterpiece Guernica.
