  The Letters of Jane Austen

  Jane Austen

  Jane Austen’s letters afford a unique insight into the daily life of the novelist: intimate and gossipy, observant and informative–they read much like the novels themselves. They bring alive her family and friends, her surroundings and contemporary events, all with a freshness unparalleled in modern biographies. Most importantly, we recognize the unmistakable voice of the author of such novels as Pride and Prejudice and Emma. We see the shift in her writing from witty and amusing descriptions of the social life of town and country, to a thoughtful and constructive tone while writing about the business of literary composition. 
    
  Austen’s personal correspondence has stirred up controversy since her untimely death in 1817 at age 41. The next year her brother Henry Austen wrote in the ‘Biographical Notice of the Author’ included with the publication of her novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion that she ‘never dispatched a note or a letter unworthy of publication’. Years later, a niece Caroline Austen did not agree, ‘there is nothing in those letters which I have seen that would be acceptable to the public.’ In comparison to her published works, the letters do dwell upon ‘little matters’ of domestic life in the county, but to the patient reader we begin to understand Austen’s life and experiences beyond the minutia and realize through her clever descriptions and acerbic observations how this simple parson’s daughter became the author of novels that are so valued and cherished close to 200 years after their publication. 
    
  The author gained far more status after her death, and her six fulllength novels have rarely been out of print. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1833, when her novels were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series, illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering, and sold as a set.

  'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
  Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
  'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
  'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin

  Edgar Allan Poe's: Manuscript...

  This critically-acclaimed "tour-de-force one-man performance" (Falls Church News-Press Entertainment Writer) brings new life to one of Edgar Allan Poe's little known, but significant, stories.  In 1833, as part of a short story writing contest, Poe crafted "MS Found in a Bottle."  This story topped over 100 other entries and earned the 1st place prize of $50 and publication in the Saturday Visiter Newspaper.  This story inspired later writers like Herman Melville and Jules Verne, and, while not his most popular work, it launched his career as a writer.   
  In this production, listeners will be engrossed in the story through classic narration encompassing multiple characters, incredible sound effects to bring you into the ghost ship amongst the zombie-like crew, into the hurricanes and the doldrums, and in the cold winds of Antarctica.

  AI SLOP :: Hicky sicky pop. 
  AI Slop : is a poem written in response to all the AI Videos being 'aired' and feedback from 
  these latest AI video escapees from the norm, now coming in the mix of regular video viewing. 
  It highlights just some of the AI videos and clips and their ridiculous framing into the 
  normal landscape of real world situations. As a tool for stretching the imagination, it is 
  a veritable candidate, until it crosses over from the sublime to the ridiculous, and 
  therefore entering the slop house which I call AI Slop. 
  There's a place for this in stretching the bounds your imagination, and not for replacing 
  the real entity of the world. 
  ***** Dont forget to Like  Review/feedback, many thanks. *****

  Earth Keeper - Reflections on...

  ""Dazzling. . . . In glittering prose, Momaday recalls stories passed down through generations, illuminating the earth as a sacrosanct place of wonder and abundance. At once a celebration and a warning, Earth Keeper is an impassioned defense of all that our endangered planet stands to lose."" — Esquire 
  A magnificent testament to the earth, from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet N. Scott Momaday. 
  One of the most distinguished voices in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to celebrating and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral tradition. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and grew up on Navajo, Apache, and Peublo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is a part of the earth he knows well and loves deeply. 
  In Earth Keeper, he reflects on his native ground and its influence on his people. “When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors,"" he writes, ""I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they, belong to the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth.”   
  In this wise and wonderous work, Momaday shares stories and memories throughout his life, stories that have been passed down through generations, stories that reveal a profound spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He offers an homage and a warning. He shows us that the earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that must be honored and protected before it’s too late. As he so eloquently and simply reminds us, we must all be keepers of the earth.
