Beschreibung

“The Acorn-planter: A California Forest Play” is a play by Jack London, an American novelist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction.

The Acorn-Planter was published the year that Jack London died. It is a play designed to be mostly sung accompanied by background music. It follows a tribe of California natives who react to the first presence of white settlers. The story then follows the tribe at a later date when the white settlers return. It depicts the interaction between these cultures and embodies London's ideas on war and its effect on the human race.

The four survivors know their priorities well: find shelter, find food and fresh water, get rescued, and, above all, find the mysterious missing cargo. But, as time passes by, these priorities wane, as all of them seem to be having too good of a time. As they get to know each other better, they start re-examining their whole lives and the paths that led them to this island. 
    In the year 2028, a woman called Clarice Skaugen returns to her childhood home in Minneapolis for a family gathering.

    These two narratives twist around each other only to converge in an exciting finale and provide the answers sought from the start, not just "what" and "how", but, more importantly, "why".

    "Dot. Line. Circle. Human." is not an ordinary story. 
    It is a journey. A transformation. 
    A tiny nothing – a dot – falls to Earth and begins to... feel. Think. Grow. 
    Chapter by chapter, it changes its shape – and maybe, so do you. 
    In 51 poetic, surprising, and profound episodes, this dot experiences everything we know ourselves: 
    Doubt, discovery, retreat, departure, pain, hope – and the quiet power of change. 
    What begins harmlessly becomes a subtle reflection of our own development: 
    How we curl up when it gets too much. 
    How we sometimes stumble, crash, break. 
    How we reinvent ourselves – as a line, as a tree, as light. 
    And how we might eventually come to realize: 
    We were never "just a dot." 
    We are a story in motion. 
    With clear language, tender depth, and a touch of cheeky poetry, this book invites you to remember yourself: 
    your roots, your radiance, your humanity. 
    A book to read slowly. 
    And feel for a long time.

    Sophie is about to become a single mum – a third-generation one – and she's terrified. How will she afford to feed her baby? Or a Deluxe Snuggle Pod? Can she hold on to her job? What if she's crap at parenthood? Surely she can count on her own mum and nan to help...
    Except her mum's got used to having a life of her own, and doesn't fancy giving up pole-dancing class and Tinder to go back to changing nappies and no sleep. Meanwhile, fresh out of hospital with a broken leg, her nan's having a three-quarter-life crisis of her own.
    From slammed doors to living-room karaoke, Lydia Marchant's play Mumsy is a sparky, soulful comedy drama about the highs and lows of motherhood. It premiered at Hull Truck Theatre in March 2023.

    Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
     
    Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
     
    In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
     
    England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
     
    In this volume we explore the West Midlands, land-locked, yet containing its second largest city, it is a cornucopia of landscapes and contrasts that make it distinct and yet a part of the whole.  And whether the poets are famous or obscure their talents remind us all of our inheritance of words.
