Sinopse

"you start every new day with an inventory: a moth, a cape, a parachute, a coffin, a gun, the wall you built to mount the gun."
On the Subject of Fallen Things is an addictive, Chekhovian metanarrative: phenomenological, absurd, and dripping with black humour. James Kearns' speaker keeps company with Lazarus, an inept psychic, and a deceased superhero, but finds himself increasingly alone—lost in dialogue with mortality, both personal and anthropological. Permanence, culpability, the function and corruption of human storytelling: all come into play in a surge of momentum that grips the reader, even as it breaks apart: a lean explosion, a gunshot in the distance.
"On the Subject of Fallen Things weaves whimsy into narrative epiphanies that you never see coming. Each line aggregating weight like the lightness of snowflakes gathering into an avalanche. Hugely enjoyable. Get it now." Roger Robinson, A Portable Paradise, Winner of the 2019 T.S. Eliot Prize
"This is a really brilliant sequence of poems. Like Ponge, or Herbert, or Steger, or Simic, it manages to be both serious and fleeting, weighty and funny. It's hopeful, actually." S.J. Fowler, 3:AM Magazine

    Written at the turn of the twentieth century, The Book of Hours is one of the most significant works of modern German poetry. There has never been an English translation that preserved the tight poeticism and Christian mysticism of the original until now. In this long poem, the narrator-poet is a monk and icon painter desperately trying to see God in a way that his art can’t capture. Over three sections (The Book of Monkish Life, The Book of Pilgrimage, and The Book of Poverty & Death), Rilke takes the narrator on a journey from the pastoral lands of his monastery to the bustling and inhuman cities of the world on a quest to make sense of God's central mystery. A variety of images recur: building, trees (roots and fruits), ripening, ore, and what Rilke simply calls "the things". Through these motifs, the narrator seeks to understand God by exploring imagery that is the inverse of the usual Biblical symbols. What can we learn by thinking of God as darkness, as son, as poor neighbor, or as the rock that runs through the earth...? And, ultimately, what truly are poverty and death to the holy pilgrim?

Whether you're preparing for a specific role or expanding your range as an actor, mastering this accent can set you apart in auditions and on screen. This audio-based training guides you through every step, helping you sound natural, nuanced, and believable — without falling into stereotypes. 
    The course breaks down the unique sound patterns of Indian-accented English, teaching you how to shape vowels, soften consonants, and replicate the musical rhythm that defines the accent. You'll learn how regional languages influence speech, giving your delivery a natural flow that goes beyond surface imitation. With a focus on ear training and vocal drills, you'll fine-tune every sound while developing an instinct for the accent's melody and pacing. 
    This training is designed to help actors create rich, layered performances. You'll understand not only how the accent sounds, but why it sounds that way — from the influence of Indian language structure to the subtle shifts in emphasis and intonation. By connecting the accent to character and context, you'll avoid clichés and build performances that feel grounded and authentic. 
    Every lesson is crafted with actors in mind, combining technical precision with practical exercises. Dialogue practice helps you integrate the accent into performance, preparing you for auditions, rehearsals, and on-camera work. The flexible audio format fits easily into your daily routine, letting you learn at your own pace. 
    With the right training, an accent becomes a powerful tool for storytelling. Mastering the Indian accent will give you the confidence to step into any role and deliver performances that are both compelling and true to life.

    A Poetry Book Society Recommendation
    Inheritance is a profoundly moving exploration of what is passed down by our forebearers, what is left behind when we lose someone, and what we learn from being loved. Jasmine Cooray holds our most fiercely-guarded myths to the light, refracted through second-generation diaspora, family legend and life-changing loss. Her poems embrace both the quiet and the storms within. They sing of self-belief rising to the surface as drowning feels imminent, of desire and how it can cultivate hope. This is a timeless debut: wise, wild and empowering, a lodestar for survival.
    "A strident, playful language dance through life's more challenging parts, always towards something transcendent." Anthony Joseph, Sonnets for Albert, Winner of the 2022 T.S. Eliot Prize
    "Intimate, vulnerable, poignant and provocative. Inheritance is a stunning debut brimming with tenderness, authenticity and heart."  Salena Godden, Mrs Death Misses Death
