  Past Tense Future Imperfect

  In these rich and witty poems, we encounter a gallery of characters, voices and situations in various stages of emotional undress and bewilderment, fretting at just the wrong distance from reality in railway stations, ferries, restaurants, war zones and watery dystopias. They are filmic pieces that announce the arrival of an unusually gifted poet, in a short collection much bigger than its size – entertaining, disturbing and despite the odds curiously life-affirming.
  Here, the poet makes the seemingly mundane scenes and interactions extraordinary, with stunning language and unforgettable images. Whether the poet talks about 'My cousin with the sensitive ears / winces as he unbuckles his memory / listens to wallpaper peeling' or a Nativity play where 'Straw lies about as if someone has detonated a scarecrow', the poet showcases remarkable skills in exploring deep, human relationships. – Romalyn Ante, co-judge of the International Book & Pamphlet Competition

  Aristotle's Poetics

  Aristotle's Poetics is best known for its definition and analysis of tragedy and comedy, but it also applies to truth and beauty as they are manifested in the other arts. In our age, when the natural and social sciences have dominated the quest for truth, it is helpful to consider why Aristotle claimed: "poetry is more philosophical and more significant than history."
   
  Like so many other works by Aristotle, the Poetics has dominated the way we have thought about all forms of dramatic performance in Europe and America ever since. The essence of poetry lies in its ability to transcend the particulars of everyday experience and articulate universals, not merely what has happened but what might happen and what ought to happen.

  Gone Writing: The Poems of Moore...

  Humorous poetry from the television program hosted by a beloved Minnesota news anchor. 
  In the 1950s, Dave Moore, a young actor born and raised in Minneapolis, accepted a newscaster position with the local CBS affiliate, WCCO-TV-a job Walter Cronkite turned down. For the next three decades, until his death in 1998, he delivered the evening news with integrity, conviction, humor, and flair, making him a fixture in Minnesota living rooms.  
  At the end of his weekly news-in-review program, Moore on Sunday (or, as he liked to call it, “Moron Sunday”), Moore often signed off by reciting a poem. These poems, composed by Moore’s son Peter and collected here for the first time, offer a fresh and funny take on the common and not-so-common stuff of our everyday lives. Reminiscent of Ogden Nash and Tom Lehrer, with a dash of Dr. Seuss, Peter Moore’s verse captures the essence of his father’s wit, common sense, honesty, and warmth.

  The Bludgeoned Heart - From...

  Daniel Sheehan

  One of the ‘truths’ about writers is that after a successful first book the agonies of the second devour both time and talent.  For Daniel Sheehan that seems to have been turned on its head.  Rather than go forward it was easier to look back, to dredge rather than furrow, gathering words, lines and phrases from the past and re-fashioning, distilling and evolving poems of simplicity, complexity, light and dark. Sometimes very dark. 
  His work is often characterized by a modern, intimate, and somewhat mysterious style, focusing deeply on the emotional connection between lovers. 
  He is also known as a "modern romantic." Unlike the classical poets who often used complex metaphors, Sheehan’s work is praised for its accessibility and sincerity.

  Blossom: Unfolding the Heart

  Blossom: Unfolding the Heart, is a poetry book about delving deeper into the feelings that have become normalized and ignored. It's common to acknowledge a feeling, thinking it will go away; but sometimes it never does. This poetry book also goes deep into the struggle to be Black in America in this day and age, and we still have a lot of work to do. To sit and listen to what your mind is telling you is way more important than playing it cool. In Blossom, I hope to show teens and young adults that you can have feelings about situations and you do not always have to fit a perfect mold of what society wants. I hope Blossom makes you smile, laugh, think, feel appreciated, look at the world a little more clearly, and even understand why some other people act the way they do.

  Antler steps out of her front door and throws her phone to the ground. She stamps on it. Then she climbs the tallest tree in the park. She doesn't want to be found, not by anyone.
  Over the course of one autumnal evening, seven teenagers' lives intertwine as they make their way through the park. And everything that seemed normal becomes extraordinary.
  A play about protest, power and protecting yourself, Stef Smith's Remote was commissioned as part of the 2015 National Theatre Connections Festival and proved enormously popular with youth theatres and college companies across the UK, returning for the 2023 Connections Festival.
