Synopsis

In "The Gospel of the Brothers Barnabas: Present Day," George Bernard Shaw employs his signature wit and incisive social critique to explore the themes of religion, morality, and the quest for truth in contemporary society. This provocative work reimagines the biblical narrative through the lens of modern issues, challenging the established norms of faith and authority. Shaw's masterful use of dialogue and character development reflects his deep understanding of human nature and societal dynamics, integrating elements of satire and philosophical inquiry that engage readers on multiple levels. George Bernard Shaw, a prominent playwright and critic of the early 20th century, was acutely aware of the societal and religious debates of his time. His experiences with various philosophical movements, including Fabian socialism, and his strong advocacy for social reform heavily influenced his writing. Shaw's willingness to question dogma and promote rational thought is particularly evident in this text, as he grapples with the relevance of spirituality in a rapidly changing world. Readers seeking a thought-provoking examination of faith and humanity will find "The Gospel of the Brothers Barnabas: Present Day" both enlightening and challenging. Shaw's incisive critique encourages reflection on personal beliefs and societal constructs, making it a timeless read for those interested in philosophy, theology, and literature.

    A poetic sequence using the 1841 slave revolt aboard the brig Creole as a lens through which to view the vitality of Black lives and the afterlife of slavery.In 1841, the only successful, large-scale revolt of American-born enslaved people erupted on the ship Creole. 135 people escaped chattel slavery that day. The event was recounted in US Senate documents, including letters exchanged between US and British consulates in The Bahamas and depositions from the white crew on the ship. There is no known record or testimony from the 135 people who escaped. Their story has been lost to time and indifference. Quenton Baker’s ballast is an attempt at incomplete redress.With imagination, deep empathy, and skilled and compelling lyricism, Baker took a black marker to those Senate documents and culled a poetic recount of the Creole revolt. Layers of ink connect readers to Baker’s poetic process: (re)phrasing the narrative of the state through a dexterous process of hands-on redactions.ballast is a relentless, wrenching, and gorgeously written book, a defiant reclamation of one of the most important but overlooked events in US history, and an essential contribution to contemporary poetry.
