The Seasons — Autumn

James Thomson

Sinopse

In "The Seasons — Autumn," James Thomson conjures a vivid portrayal of the autumnal landscape, steeped in rich imagery and reflective of the cyclical nature of both the environment and human experience. Written in the early 18th century, Thomson's work exemplifies the transition from the ornate, formal styles of the Augustan period to a more expressive and sensuous approach. Through sophisticated use of personification and pastoral motifs, he captures the melancholic beauty of fall, inviting readers to contemplate themes of decay and renewal in a natural world that mirrors the fleeting nature of life itself. James Thomson, a Scottish poet whose life and work were deeply influenced by the Scottish landscape and the Enlightenment's reverence for nature, produced this remarkable poem amidst a burgeoning interest in the interplay between humanity and nature. Reflecting personal experiences and the philosophical currents of his time, Thomson sought to elevate the ordinary observation of the seasons into a profound meditation on existence and mortality, a theme that resonated deeply in his own life—marked by personal loss and existential inquiry. "The Seasons — Autumn" is not merely a poem; it is an invitation to pause and reflect upon the beauty and transience of life. Readers who appreciate exquisite lyrical poetry and profound philosophical inquiry will find themselves captivated by Thomson's eloquence. This work stands as a significant contribution to the Romantic canon and is essential for those wishing to explore the evolution of nature poetry.

warm blooded things

Shaun Hill

Shaun Hill's debut poetry collection,warm blooded things is a radical and intimate encounter with boyhood, sexuality, and violence, love, desire and solitude. Wandering the nocturnal city streets, through random encounters, co-opting space and capturing conversations in a multitude of voices, this collection evokes alienation whilst longing for tenderness.
Hill's agile poems are alive to fear, loss and danger. The poems also explore a uniquely queer archive of time and place, the legacy of AIDS, and draw strength from giving voice to unheard histories. Seeking sanctuary and alternatives to a capitalist reality, these precise poems gesture towards hope, survival and the necessity to be responsible for one another.
"Shaun Hill is one of my favourite performers, his poems charged with vulnerability and raw intimacy. Now warm blooded things offers us this same tender gift."– Liz Berry

Saki's Plays

Saki Saki

The undisputed master of the short story, Saki's name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society, and his plays were no exception. In his only full-length play, 'The Watched Pot', Trevor Bavvel, sole heir to a country estate, is in want of a wife, but must operate under the strict attention of his miserly mother Hortensia. 
Although wildly neglected today, Saki's plays met with widespread acclaim in his day, and he was even compared favourably with the great Oscar Wilde. This complete edition of Saki's plays – the first complete edition ever published – demonstrates the great writer's prowess as a playwright, and sparkles with the same wit as the short stories that have enchanted generations of readers.

Happy Place

Joey Polisena

IMPLIED SECRETS: Poetry slides an incisor behind our addiction to living, rips essence from its bones and grinds us chunk to paste, half sustenance, the rest, waste. Verses are beds for the senseless masturbated to perfect sense. Sentiments and sympathies in micro-doses of self-psychoanalytics affixed to symptoms, ticks, and epiphanies. Come inside, we have odes to sing. *** These verses twist trauma and grief into self-loving peace, a therapy cushion of words and doodle artwork. Come feel the dark so we can see the light again.
