Sinopsis

In "Dagonet Ditties," George R. Sims presents a captivating collection of verse that intertwines humor, social critique, and poignant observation, reflecting the complexities of Victorian society. Through a series of whimsical ballads, Sims employs a colloquial and accessible literary style, reminiscent of street ballads and popular poetry of his time. Each poem in this anthology encapsulates a unique narrative voice, showcasing Sims' acute observations on themes such as poverty, love, and the human condition, all while embodying the spirit of the Dagonet persona he famously crafted—a comedic yet insightful character that exposes the follies and virtues of everyday life. Sims, an English author and playwright known for his affinity for the working-class experience, drew inspiration from his own encounters with societal injustices and the vibrancy of urban life. His extensive involvement in journalism and theatre provided him with a rich tapestry of characters and narratives, allowing him to amplify the voices of marginalized communities. "Dagonet Ditties" stands as a testament to his literary prowess and his commitment to addressing social issues through artful satire and poignant storytelling. For readers seeking a blend of laughter and reflection, "Dagonet Ditties" is an essential exploration of the human experience, encouraging us to contemplate the intricacies of sorrow and joy in our lives. Sims' adept use of wit and lyrical charm not only entertains but invites deeper consideration of the societal constructs that shape our realities. This collection is a must-read for those curious about the interplay between humor and social commentary in Victorian literature.

    In August Strindberg's "A Dream Play," the surreal landscape of dreams becomes the stage for a journey through the human experience. Set in a world where time and space are fluid, the play follows Agnes, the daughter of the Hindu god Indra, as she descends to Earth to understand the struggles of mortal life.   
    Come join me where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur--where the depths of the subconscious mind are just out of reach, and where we question the need for meaning, the nature of suffering, and the possibility of transcendence. 
    Through poetic language and striking imagery, "A Dream Play" offers a profound meditation on the human condition and invites audiences to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and introspection, where the boundaries between dreams and reality dissolve, and anything is possible.

    Harbour Grids is a long poem in four parts that investigates ideas of community and belonging. Beginning as a meditation on the surface of New York Harbor, the poem radiates outward through issues of labour, location, history, belonging, and subjectivity. How do we experience our complex relations to the world we live in? Harbour Grids seeks to answer this question by combining the sonic texture and investigative poetics of Daphne Marlatt, the improvisatory spirit and ethical engagement of Fred Wah, the experimental attention to the structures of language of Nasser Hussain, and the dazzling sense of visual space of Jordan Abel.
