Sinopse

In 'King Lear's Wife; The Crier by Night; The Riding to Lithend; Midsummer-Eve; Laodice and Danaë,' Gordon Bottomley presents a collection of plays that delve into the intricacies of human emotions, familial bonds, and societal norms. His literary style combines lyrical poetry with dramatic dialogue, evoking the metaphorical depths behind each character's plight. Thematically, Bottomley's works resonate with the complexities of love, betrayal, and redemption often found in Shakespearean narratives, yet he takes bold strides to explore these themes through a modern lens, making the ancient seem refreshingly relevant and poignant. Gordon Bottomley (1874-1948) was an English playwright and poet, whose diverse experience as a writer came from a background steeped in the artistic movements of his time. His journey through literature led him to examine the lives of isolated, often overlooked characters, paralleling his own struggles with identity and artistic expression. Bottomley's fascination with Shakespearean drama, combined with his interest in the metaphysical, culminates in this collection, reflecting both personal and universal dilemmas. This collection is a compelling read for those who appreciate the richness of character-driven narratives and the emotional resonance of poetic language. Literature enthusiasts, theatrical practitioners, and scholars alike will find Bottomley's work not only enlightening but also a celebration of the human experience—a must-have addition to any literary collection.

    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.

    I Remember is a book of poetry inspired while traveling, spending time in nature and from my life's experiences. As a multiracial man in America, I feel I was given the opportunity to experience discrimination and prejudice from people of all walks of life. To learn I needed to love to accept myself first so I can witness firsthand society's most crucial issues of division and polarity. From the systemic illusion of separation from nature and humankind as a whole, due to the fact that most of us have yet to remember who we really are. Although the media is persistently promoting fear and division. The intention of this book is to share a sense of awareness of who we are beyond the body while inspiring the reader to love and have compassion for themselves and others at a greater capacity. Regardless of what one may have learned from their parents, culture, media, movies etc. I Remember is resurfacing to remind the masses we are all equal expressions of the Divine and now have a role to play in co-creating “The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.”

    I wrote most of these poems while the memories of a woman from my past scraped at my mind. 
    I've learned to accept that life is about overcoming desire and finding peace in not getting what you want, but I'm only human, which means sometimes I enjoy entertaining an erotic, morbid, desperate, and painfully hopeful side of me when the mood strikes. 
    My bottom line is this: if you've ever loved someone too much, or missed someone you couldn't forget, this modest collection of words and ideas might feel familiar.

    The breathing sound of birth pangs. 
    This collection is the author's first collection of poems and is being republished after 30 years. It consists of 30 poems divided into the following five parts:Plum Flower, a Thousand Year of LoveThe Sun's Mistress, WolgyeAh! Late Autumn, Flaming SunsetMy Love, Sunae,Bo ( Pure Love, Story)The Reason Yew Trees have survived for 2,000 yearsAuthor said the feeling of republishing of this collection after 30 years, is not only strange , but even magical. Well then he is reborn, let's do some cuddles. What is poetry? He asked this question 30years ago too. Like finding an answer to aquestion that everyone can ask but no one can still on the line of verbal barbarism,as much as the atar in the night sky scattered. He ask poetry again. He said that although he may not be phonex whose wings flutter across the light, he may not a phoenex who eats bamboo shoots and does not anything other than the precious paulownia tree but like a skylark singing in the spring, like a cicada enjoying the summer, like a wildflower blooming in abundance in the field in the fall, even if it's an old tree full of snow flakes in winter , It's good. So he hope to do this best to write healthy articles that comfort and support everyone and himself.
