Sinopsis

“Each book by Jack Kerouac in unique, a telepathic diamond. With prose set in the middle of his mind, he reveals consciousness itself in all its syntactic elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion. Such rich natural writing is nonpareil in later half xx-century, a synthesis of Proust,  Céline, Thomas Wolfe, Hemingway, Genet, Thelonious Monk, Bash, Charlie Parker, and Kerouac’s own athletic sacred insight. 
  
Big Sur’s a humane, precise account of the extraordinary ravages of alcohol delirium tremens on Kerouac, a superior novelist who had strength to complete his poetic narrative, a task few scribes so afflicted have accomplished—others crack up. Here we meet San Francisco’s poets & recognize hero Dean Moriarty ten years after On the Road. Jack Kerouac was a ‘writer,’ as his great peer W.S. Burroughs says, and here at the peak of his suffering humorous genius he wrote through his misery to end with ‘Sea,’ a brilliant poem appended, on the hallucinatory Sounds of the Pacific Ocean at Big Sur.” 
—Allen Ginsberg

When We Dead Awaken (1899) is the last play by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. Dreamlike and highly symbolic, the play charts the dissolution of sculptor Arnold Rubek's marriage to Maia, her flirtation with Ulfheim, and his involvement with the mysterious Irene, his former model. The tensions rise between the characters as they climb higher and higher into the Norwegian mountains. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

Songs of a Sourdough

Reputedly the best-selling poetry collection of the 20th century, 'Songs of a Sourdough' is best known for Robert W. Service's classic Yukon ballads, 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew' and 'The Cremation of Sam McGhee'. Service was born in Preston, Lancashire, and grew up in Scotland. In his twenties, he made his way to Canada and settled in the Yukon where he worked as a bank clerk but evidently dreamed of more adventurous pursuits. Service's readings of his poems show that he could adopt either a Scottish or North American accent. Here they are read in an accent that is not too far removed from the place of his birth. - Summary by Phil Benson

Isaac Rosenberg was born on 25th November 1890 in Bristol.  As a child his family moved to the squalid streets of London’s Jewish Ghetto, and took any number of menial jobs to survive. 
Isaac only attended school briefly at age 14. He began work as an engraver’s apprentice and to work in his spare time on his painting.  These talents in painting and other visual arts allowed him to go to a funded place at the Slade School of Art. 
His early poetry was closely associated with the Romantic movement, especially the influences of Keats and Shelley. 
His volume of poems ‘Youth’ was published in 1915 and then he enlisted to fight in the Great War. 
He fought until 1918 and his death in the battle of Arras on 1st April  at the age of 28. 
Within those few short years he found his own distinctive and clear voice. He is mainly remembered as a War Poet and on the horrific canvas that was to be The First World War he expressed himself as few others could.  ‘August 1914’ like many of his works is short but distilled to an essence with a clear and unquenchable voice. 
This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

Big Bang - Running amok

How can a normal person become a serial killer? A retired haunted by loneliness is assailed by fear that the outside world wants to cancel his miserable existence. BIG BANG is the tip of a pin that pokes at the reflection on our time of "crisis", giving the dramaturgy its ancient sense of surgery of the spirit that operates on the evil of the century and that tries to remove the boil of fear that has taken root in the walls of the individual unconscious. Thus the "theatricality of Being" of the protagonist of BIG BANG explodes in everyone's consciousness as a sign of danger and of schizophrenic fracture between fearful reality and interiority understood as the "last refuge".
