Sinopsis

In "Poetry," George MacDonald delivers a profound exploration of the human experience, encapsulated through a tapestry of lyrical works that reflect both the beauty and complexity of existence. MacDonald's literary style harmonizes vivid imagery with deep emotional resonance, drawing upon themes of nature, spirituality, and the transformative power of love. Within the context of Victorian literature, this collection stands as a testament to MacDonald's mastery of verse, intricately weaving philosophical reflections into accessible poetry that speaks to the hearts of his readers. George MacDonald, a pivotal figure in the Scottish literary renaissance, was known not only as a poet but also as a novelist and theologian. His innovative approach to storytelling and his embrace of mystical themes were greatly influenced by his own struggles with faith and the human condition. MacDonald's conviction that literature can serve as a conduit for divine truth profoundly shaped the thematic elements of "Poetry," as he sought to connect the sacred with the everyday. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of beauty and philosophy. MacDonald's evocative language and heartfelt insights invite readers to reflect on their own experiences, making "Poetry" an essential addition to the canon of 19th-century literature that continues to resonate today.

    In 2022, James McDermott lost his sixty-year-old father to COVID after three weeks in intensive care. In* Father Myself*, his second collection from Nine Arches Press, McDermott explores his father's complex illness and death; grief; growth and how as a queer boy then a bereaved son, he had to learn to father himself.
    In clear-sighted and often hard-hitting poems, McDermott takes the reader onto the frontline of the pandemic – documenting the experience and trauma of a COVID-bereaved family with an unflinching eye. Both powerful and compassionate, these extraordinary poems have the capacity to go beyond simply a record of events, reaching sensitively for the human details that matter – the beat of a heart and movement of breath, the touch of a hand, the words we use for goodbye.

    The Tragedy of Timon of Athens

    William Shakespeare

    The Tragedy of Timon of Athens (The Life of Tymon of Athens) is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in collaboration with Thomas Middleton in about 1605–1606, which was published in the First Folio in 1623. It is about the fortunes of an Athenian named Timon. The central character is a beloved citizen of Athens who through tremendous generosity spends his entire fortune on corrupt hangers-on only interested in getting the next payout.
    The earliest-known production of the play was in 1674, when Thomas Shadwell wrote an adaptation under the title The History of Timon of Athens, The Man-hater. Multiple other adaptations followed over the next century, by writers such as Thomas Hull, James Love and Richard Cumberland. The straight Shakespearean text was performed at Smock Alley in Dublin in 1761, but adaptations continued to dominate the stage until well into the 20th century.
    ... Flavius arrives. He wants the money as well, but he also wants Timon to come back into society. Timon acknowledges that he has had one true friend in Flavius, a shining example of an otherwise diseased and impure race, but laments that this man is a mere servant. He invites the last envoys from Athens, who hoped Timon might placate Alcibiades, to go hang themselves, and then dies in the wilderness. Alcibiades, marching on Athens, then throws down his glove, and ends the play reading the bitter epitaph Timon wrote for himself, part of which was composed by Callimachus:
    "Here lies a wretched corpse of wretched soul bereft:
    Seek not my name: a plague consume you wicked caitiffs left!"
    Here lie I, Timon, who alive, all living men did hate,
    Pass by, and curse thy fill, but pass and stay not here thy gait...
    Among the most significant works William Shakespeare: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.

    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.
