Beschreibung

In "The Songs of Ranild," George Borrow delves into the rich tapestry of Cornish folklore, presenting a collection of lyrical narratives that intertwine myth, history, and emotion. Borrow's style is characterized by its romanticism and vivid imagery, reflecting the beauty and complexity of the natural landscape as well as the human experience. The work resonates with themes of longing and cultural heritage, echoing the Victorian fascination with the pastoral and the primitive, while simultaneously showcasing Borrow's affinity for the supernatural elements inherent in folk traditions. George Borrow was a prolific writer and philologist, deeply engaged with the cultures he encountered during his travels throughout England and Wales. His interest in folk customs and traditions, combined with his mastery of language, propelled him to write this collection. Influenced by his personal encounters with Cornish society and his earlier works that explore the intersections of language and culture, Borrow's creative journey is a testament to his belief in the power of storytelling to transcend local boundaries. For readers fascinated by folklore, linguistics, and the poetic exploration of human experiences, "The Songs of Ranild" is an essential addition to any literary collection. It invites reflection on the mystique of tradition and the enduring power of song, making it a profound experience for those seeking to understand the cultural nuances of the British landscape.

    A double bill of plays from the frontline of climate change – an epic portrait of Britain in the grip of unprecedented and catastrophic floods.
    In On the Beach, glaciologist Will has followed in his father's footsteps, dedicating himself to studying climate change. Back from Antarctica, he visits his parents on the Norfolk coast. With catastrophic flooding growing more likely by the day, he has news that forces long-submerged secrets to rise to the surface.
    In Resilience, Will, freshly appointed as a scientific advisor, is in Westminster and he's out of his depth. Surrounded by ministers manoeuvring to impress, and with the threat of environmental disaster, can he get them to listen before it's too late?
    Impressive in scale and chilling as a prediction of our immediate future, the two plays are complementary but can also stand alone.
    Steve Waters' The Contingency Plan was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2009, and shortlisted for the John Whiting Award. It was revived, in this fully revised and updated version, at Sheffield Theatres in 2022, directed by Caroline Steinbeis and Chelsea Walker.

    'A triumph' - Evening Standard

    "The word 'angel' means 'messenger' and the title poem of this book, 'Angels Everywhere,' presents the idea that what I often glimpse is a flicker of glancing light, as if a heavenly being is darting in and out of my viewing, allowing me entry into a realm beyond my physical, experiential world—brief revelatory messages from somewhere beyond. I'm hoping that as you read these poems, (more than once, aloud if possible) something like Wordsworth's 'intimations of immortality' will enliven your own perceptions of the world as you experience it. Maybe your own fleet of angels will show up!" —Luci Shaw, from the Introduction
    
    Angels Everywhere is published under Paraclete Press's Iron Pen imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.

    A piercing debut collection of poems exploring gender, race, and violence from a sensational new talent. 
    In her arresting collection, urgently relevant for our times, poet Emily Jungmin Yoon confronts the histories of sexual violence against women, focusing in particular on Korean so-called “comfort women,” women who were forced into sexual labor in Japanese-occupied territories during World War II. 
    In wrenching language, A Cruelty Special to Our Species unforgettably describes the brutalities of war and the fear and sorrow of those whose lives and bodies were swept up by a colonizing power, bringing powerful voice to an oppressed group of people whose histories have often been erased and overlooked. “What is a body in a stolen country,” Yoon asks. “What is right in war.” 
    Moving readers through time, space, and different cultures, and bringing vivid life to the testimonies and confessions of the victims,Yoon takes possession of a painful and shameful history even while unearthing moments of rare beauty in acts of resistance and resilience, and in the instinct to survive and bear witness.
