Sinopsis

In Track's End, Hayden Carruth explores the complex interplay between nature and human experience through a collection of poignant poems that resonate with emotional depth and vivid imagery. Carruth's literary style is marked by an eloquent simplicity, yet each verse captures the rugged beauty and harsh realities of rural life, reflecting a profound connection to the American landscape. Set against the backdrop of the late 20th century, his work resonates with themes of solitude, mortality, and the passage of time, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives within the vastness of nature and existence. Hayden Carruth, an influential figure in contemporary American poetry, was deeply shaped by his experiences in the rural Northeast, where he lived much of his life. His unique background includes a blend of academic pursuit, music, and existential contemplation, evident in the passionate authenticity of his voice. Carruth's personal struggles, including mental health challenges, inform his poignant explorations of human vulnerability, offering readers a glimpse into the resilience of the human spirit amidst life's adversities. I highly recommend Track's End to readers seeking a profound lyrical journey that marries the beauty of the natural world with the intricacies of the human condition. Carruth's adept craftsmanship will engage those who appreciate rich, reflective poetry, making this collection a valuable addition to any literary enthusiast's library.

    Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Pamphlet Competition. In her second chapbook, And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson's delicate choice of words \'unlace restraint' and take us to the limits of the female body's potential.

    Sound Poetry: History and Developments of a Poetic Vanguard investigates the evolution of sound poetry as a radical, transdisciplinary literary form. Drawing from a dissertation originally presented at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), this revised English edition deepens the discussion on the aesthetic and political implications of sound in poetic creation. The book includes interviews with poets and scholars from Brazil and abroad and examines the work of key avant-garde practitioners.A central reference throughout the study is the pioneering theoretical framework of Brazilian poet and researcher Philadelpho Menezes. His vision of intersemiotic and performative poetics significantly shapes the analysis. While the original Portuguese edition (2009) included a preface by Brazilian artist Wilton Azevedo, this English edition is introduced by renowned Italian sound poet Enzo Minarelli. The translation includes more paraphrased passages for accessibility without compromising academic depth. Published by Dialética, this edition is available in print, digital, and audiovisual formats. The book is a key resource for readers, researchers, and artists interested in experimental poetry, performance, and the expanded possibilities of the poetic voice.

    Primordial - Poems

    Mai Der Vang

    Mai Der Vang's poetry—lyrically insistent and visually compelling—constitutes a groundbreaking investigation into the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam, the lives of refugees afterward, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. Primordial is a crucial turn to the ecological and generational impact of violence, a powerful and rousing meditation on climate, origin, and fate. 
     
     
     
    With profound and attentive care, Vang addresses the plight of the saola, an extremely rare and critically endangered animal native to the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam. Remarkably, the saola has only been known to the outside world since 1992, and sightings are so rare that it has now been more than a decade since the last known image of one was captured in a camera trap photo in 2013. 
     
     
     
    Primordial examines the saola's relationship to Hmong refugee identity and cosmology and a shared sense of exile, precarity, privacy, and survival. Can a war-torn landscape and memory provide sanctuary, and what are the consequences for our climate, our origins, our ability to belong to a homeland? Written during a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, Vang's poems are urgent stays against extinction.

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 14 recordings of The Flatting-Mill by William Cowper. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for May 1, 2011.William Cowper (pronounced "Cooper")was an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of 18th century nature poetry by writing of everyday life and scenes of the English countryside. In many ways, he was one of the forerunners of Romantic poetry. Samuel Taylor Coleridge called him "the best modern poet", whilst William Wordsworth particularly admired his poem Yardley-Oak. He was a nephew of the poet Judith Madan. (summary from Wikipedia)

    '"O, Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth!"
    
    And so was I, which plainly signified
    
    That I should snarl and bite, play the dog.'
    Henry VI, Part 3
    Christopher Marlowe – rockstar of Elizabethan theatre and notorious spy for the Crown – danger and seduction combined. William Shakespeare – jobbing actor and promising young playwright – dazzled by Marlowe, but with ambitions of his own.
    When the pair meet in the backroom of a pub to collaborate on a cycle of history plays, tensions rise as they navigate the perils of art under an oppressive regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose…
    An explosively entertaining duel of wits, words and powerplay, Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth is a playful and daring imagining of the relationship between two literary icons. The play was first performed in Houston, Texas, in 2022, where it won several major awards. In 2025, it received its European premiere at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, produced by Playful Productions, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Grain of Sand Productions, directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans, and starring Ncuti Gatwa as Kit and Edward Bluemel as Will.
