  Balthazar dreams of the perfect woman, one he can summon or dismiss at will on his computer screen. But as time passes, he becomes ensnared in his own creation, consumed by an obsession with this non-existent figure. As Balthazar spirals downward, losing everything from his identity to the use of his body, reduced to just his mind and the fingers tapping at the keyboard, she, in contrast, rises. She transforms into a modern-day 
  Scheherazade, learning to command her prince.
   
  Baltha B was unaware,No more sits he upon the chair.The relics of his body’s ruin,Are the one last bastionOf his undoing.Death beckons when the hands they clap,To say, ‘Enough! Your time is up’

  You live and then you die. That's the only certainty there is, right? Using love as its guide, Proof of Life on Earth, the debut poetry collection by Degna Stone, looks at all the stops between our arrival and our departure. These poems examine matters of the heart (both the metaphorical and medical kind), of race and discrimination, of the body, mind and self – each in forensic detail, attentive and curious of what moves, shapes, and makes us alive.
  In between are the landmarks which populate the rich terrain of this collection; not only of our lives through youth to adulthood, but of history, of the long shadows of empire, and of landscapes themselves - especially those of the northeast of England, evocative, rugged and monumental. Stone's deft and scalpel-sharp poetry explores human existence shaped by mortality and experience, and asks what it means to do more than survive – to live in defiance, openness and awareness.

  Jane Shore by Nicholas Rowe is a moving historical tragedy that brings to life one of the most famous women of late medieval English history. First performed in 1714, the play blends political intrigue, personal downfall, and emotional suffering into a powerful dramatic narrative that explores the cost of power, loyalty, and moral failure.
  
  The story centers on Jane Shore, the once-favored mistress of King Edward IV, whose beauty, kindness, and influence place her at the heart of the royal court. However, when the king dies and Richard III seizes power, Jane is abandoned and left vulnerable to the harsh judgment of a shifting political world. Stripped of protection and status, she becomes a symbol of both compassion and injustice.
  
  As Richard III consolidates his authority, suspicion and revenge spread throughout the court. Jane, though innocent of political ambition, becomes entangled in accusations and suffering that she cannot escape. Her loyal husband, Hastings, and other figures around her are drawn into the dangerous struggle for survival in a court defined by betrayal and fear.
  
  Nicholas Rowe presents Jane not merely as a historical figure but as a deeply human character whose strength lies in her endurance and emotional sincerity. The play explores themes of loyalty, political corruption, repentance, and the vulnerability of individuals caught in the machinery of power.
  
  Rich in poetic dialogue and emotional depth, Jane Shore remains a significant example of early 18th-century tragedy. It reflects Rowe's talent for combining historical narrative with psychological insight, making the play both a compelling drama and a reflection on justice and human suffering.
  
  Ideal for students of literature, historians, and theatre enthusiasts, Jane Shore continues to resonate as a powerful exploration of innocence destroyed by politics and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
