Sinopsis

“Candida” is a play by George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright who became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The play questions Victorian notions of love and marriage, asking what a woman really desires from her husband. It was published as a part of Plays Pleasant, which also included Arms and the Man, The Man of Destiny and You Never Can Tell. Shaw titled the volume Plays Pleasant in order to contrast it with his first book of plays, Plays Unpleasant.

    On the Subject of Blackberries

    Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Poetry 
    Welcome to the garden. Here we poison our fruits, pierce ourselves with thorns, and transform under the light of the full moon. Mad and unhinged, we fall through rabbit holes, walk willingly into fairy rings, and dance in the song of witchcraft, two snakes around our ankles, the juice of berries on our tongues. 
    Inspired by Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle, these poems are meditations on female rage, postpartum depression, compulsion, and intrusive thoughts. They pull from periods of sleep deprivation, soul exhaustion, and nightmarish delusions, and each is left untitled, a nod to the stream-of-conscious mind of a new mother. 
    Using found poetry and under the influence of bibliomancy, Wytovich harnesses the occult power of her imagery and words and aligns it with a new, more vulnerable, darkness. These pieces are not only visions of the madwoman in the attic, but ghostly visitations that explore the raw mental torture women sometimes experience after giving birth. 
    This collection heals as much as it scars, and is an honest look at how trauma seeps into the soil of our bodies. Her poems are imagined horrors, fictional fears, and all the unspoken murmurs of a mind lost between reality and dream. What she leaves in her wake is nothing short of horror—the children lost, the garden dead, the women feral, ready to pounce.

    'the song soil sweat of it knowing nothing ofa binary bondage a bountiful mess of myself everything under the sun is changing all thetime all my skin soft lovers flocking to the river'
    Olivia Douglass' new pamphlet takes us into the shape-shifting experiences of young selfhood, family and what it means to be between worlds. Douglass' poetry is like a strong shot of the good stuff, an irresistible introduction to this multi-talented artist.
    'The poems of Unruly Blood are careful, dangerous, sparse; full. Each space held within it sings as much as its words do, its every phrase simmers first before spilling over with untold possibility.'  Victoria Adukwei Bulley
    'An artist of the body, in Unruly Blood, Douglass transmits physical sensation to the page with rapturous fluidity. Expressive of the joy and pain of every kind of love, their work sings with exciting originality.' Erica Wagner
    'Olivia Douglass is a new, clear voice and these are deep, intriguing, dangerous poems.' Brian Eno

    Wherever We Mean to Be -...

    Spanning forty years and ten previously published collections, Wherever We Mean to Be is the first substantial selection of Robyn Sarah’s poems since 1992. Chosen by the author, the 97 poems in this new volume highlight the versatility of a poet who moves easily between free verse, traditional forms, and prose poems. Familiar favorites are here, along with lesser-known poems that collectively round out a retrospective of the themes and concerns that have characterized this poet's work from the start. 
    Warm, direct, and intimate, accessible even at their most enigmatic, seemingly effortless in their musicality, the poems are a meditation on the passage of time, transience, and mortality. Natural and seasonal cycles are a backdrop to human hopes and longings, to the mystery and grace to be found in ordinary moments, and the pleasures, sorrows, and puzzlements of being human in the world.
