Sinossi

In the "GERTRUDE STEIN Premium Collection: 60+ Poems, Tales & Plays in One Volume," readers are presented with a comprehensive anthology of Stein's distinctive literary creations. This collection showcases her innovative use of language, form, and structure, epitomizing the avant-garde style characteristic of the early 20th century. Stein's works often delve into themes of identity, perception, and the nature of existence, marked by her radical departure from traditional narrative forms and her penchant for repetition and rhythmic elements, which challenge conventional storytelling methods and invite readers to rethink the function of language itself. Gertrude Stein, an instrumental figure in the modernist movement, was known not only for her literary prowess but also for her role as a patron of the arts in Paris, where she gathered a circle of influential artists and thinkers. Her experiences as a Jewish-American expatriate and her radical embrace of both cubism in visual arts and contemporaneous social movements informed her writing, as she sought to break free from the limitations imposed by societal norms and narrative conventions. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in the evolution of modernist literature, as Stein'Äôs pioneering approach serves as a vital reference point in understanding contemporary literature. Each piece in this anthology provides a window into her unique vision and the revolutionary ideas that continue to resonate today.

The Father and the Assassin

Anupama Chandrasekhar

'Our wars may come in many forms. On the battlefields. Within ourselves.'
Mahatma Gandhi: lawyer, champion of non-violence, beloved leader. Nathuram Godse: journalist, nationalist – and the man who murdered him.
Anupama Chandrasekhar's play The Father and the Assassin traces Godse's life over thirty years during India's fight for independence: from a devout follower of Gandhi, through to his radicalisation and their tragic final encounter in Delhi in 1948.
An essential exploration of oppression and extremism, this gripping play opened to critical acclaim at the National Theatre, London, in May 2022, directed by Indhu Rubasingham – and was revived there the following year. It was a finalist for the 2022-23 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

Poets & Their Trades – Doctors -...

William Carlos s, Robert Seymour...

The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.   
In this volume we bring together those professionals whose services we require when our health falters.  Their skills and manner guide us through the sometimes difficult journey back to restored vigour.  In their clever use of words and verse they are equally adept.

The Infernal Garden

Gregory Leadbetter

In The Infernal Garden, Gregory Leadbetter's poetry leads us into dark and verdant places of the imagination, the edge of the wild where the human meets the more-than-human in the burning green fuse of the living world. This liminal ground becomes a garden of death and rebirth, of sound and voice, in poems that combine the lyric with the mythic, precision with mystery.
Responding to the intricate crisis in our relationship to our planet and the life around us, the garden here assumes a haunting, otherworldly aspect, as a space of loss, grief and trial, which nonetheless carries within it the energies of regeneration and growth. At the heart of this bewitching book is the force of language itself – at once disquieting and healing – through which we are drawn to the common roots of art, science, and magic, in exquisite poetry of incantatory power.
"This is heavy-metal poetry, dark and decidedly theatrical." - Jeremy Wikeley, 'The best poetry books of 2025 so far', The Telegraph.

Knock-knock

Owen Lewis

Knock-knock! Who’s there? 
Ultimately for all, it will be age. At first, it seems like a bad joke—needing a cane, memory loss, more care, forgetting even one’s own name. In Knock-knock, Lewis creates the persona of an older physician who should’ve known what’s in store. Sometimes the reality is grim, but there’s humor, love, and even romance in his inventive and poetic story-telling. “Lost-and-found / is not a planned / destination.” Yet we all eventually find ourselves there.
