Sinopsis

In "Rhymes of Old Plimouth," Herbert Randall artfully weaves together verse that captures the essence of early American life and the spirit of its colonists. This collection showcases Randall's mastery of rhythm and meter, reflecting both a profound connection to the rich traditions of English poetry and the emerging American voice. Set against the backdrop of Plimouth Colony's historical significance, the poems evoke themes of struggle, community, and the enduring quest for identity, thereby situating the work within the broad literary movement of American Romanticism. Randall's keen attention to local details imbues each rhyme with a distinct sense of place, enabling readers to vividly experience the nuances of 17th-century life in the New World. Herbert Randall, a scholar of early American history and literature, draws upon his extensive research and personal connection to the region to breathe life into these verses. His exploration of the intersection between history and poetry facilitates a deeper understanding of the colony's narrative, emphasizing the human experience behind the well-documented facts. Randall's background in both academia and poetry offers unique insights into the periods he analyzes, making his work a valuable resource for students and enthusiasts alike. For readers seeking a blend of historical insight and poetic beauty, "Rhymes of Old Plimouth" is an indispensable addition to the canon of American literature. Randall's rich tapestry of language invites us to connect with our past while reflecting on the universal experiences that transcend time. This collection promises both scholarly value and sheer enjoyment, making it a highly recommended read for history buffs and poetry lovers.

    Liam and Fletch grew up together. Born on the same street. Best mates since primary. Inseparable. The only difference was while Fletch was getting suspended from school, Liam was studying. And now he's going to Oxford. But with Liam gone, who's going to keep Fletch out of trouble?
    Sorry, You're Not a Winner explores aspiration, social mobility and getting caught between classes. It asks: if 'making it' means leaving everything you know and everyone you love behind – what's the point?
    This powerful and striking play by Samuel Bailey was first produced in 2022 by Paines Plough and Theatre Royal Plymouth, in association with the University of Plymouth's School of Society and Culture, before touring nationally.
    'An intricate and moving study of social mobility... gripping and nuanced... Bailey continues his development as one of the most socially engaged writers working in theatre today' - Guardian

    44 Poems on Being with Each Other is a new volume that offers immersive reflections on the human connection. With an observant eye, Pádraig Ó Tuama shares an enlightening meditation on each poem, revealing the ways we relate to each other, the world around us, and ourselves. Among the selections, Ó Tuama examines friendship and its loss through Langston Hughes's "I Loved My Friend," changing familial bonds in Rita Dove's "Eurydice, Turning," the relationship with the past in Mary Oliver's "The Uses of Sorrow," the power of declaration in Lucille Clifton's "Won't You Celebrate with Me," and the necessity of connection to land in Joy Harjo's "Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings." 
     
     
     
    Blending humor with insight, tension with tenderness, complexity with care, 44 Poems on Being with Each Other articulates the power of poetry itself. Through careful and incisive readings, it illuminates aspects of the human condition, particularly the ways we are inextricably linked to each other, and provides inspiration for grounded self-reflection. It is an anthology that will delight listeners, just as Pádraig's podcast has done for millions around the world.

    'I can change colours of objects by looking at them, hear the symphonies of household simplicities, taste the emotions in a room like sweet or bitter wine, and feel life's every heartbeat breaking through my ribcage in glorious technicolour. Just don't ask me to make eye contact.'
    An imaginative child's glorious fantasies – of dolphins and dragonflies, gingerbread houses and chocolate rivers – offer him an escape from hostile reality.
    When reality dictates he has to conform to the 'real world', he has to make a choice. Should he live authentically and risk stigma, or can he continue to hide?
    Based on real events from the perspective of the writer and the autistic community, JJ Green's A-Typical Rainbow is an uplifting play about the experience of growing up neurodivergent and queer in early 2000s Britain.
    It premiered at London's Turbine Theatre in June 2022, produced by Aria Entertainment, directed by Bronagh Lagan, and starring playwright JJ Green, who is a passionate advocate for autistic artists like himself.
    This edition includes the full text of the play along with contributions from the largely – and proudly – neurodivergent cast and creative team.
