  Saint Joan

  George Bernard Shaw

  Saint Joan stands out among George Bernard Shaw's plays. He's best known for drawing-room plays exploring social issues; here he writes something closer to a Shakespearean history play, following the fifteenth-century French national hero Joan of Arc through her campaigns and beyond. Shaw's preface to the play argues that other tellings of Joan's story do her a disservice by idealizing her and demonizing her antagonists. By refusing to show the prosecutors at Joan's trial as cartoonish villains, Shaw introduces real drama into what could easily be cheap melodrama. And Shaw's fully human Joan is one of his finest creations, which has attracted great actresses to the part from the 1920s to the present day. It is mostly on account of this deep characterization that this is considered by some to be Shaw's greatest play. George Bernard Shaw (died 1950) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. The dramatic works of earlier centuries formed the backbone of a rich theatrical tradition. Saint Joan was written to be performed as well as read, and its theatrical power remains fully evident on the page, with characters, conflict, and language that leap to life.

  Faith by Reflection II - Poems...

  A Christian conversion is an experience like no other. It is a journey, often a long one, which takes a person from a state of indifference and distraction to a state of submission and adoration. The question is, how can this experience be conveyed to the public? In the heart of man, every beat is a note in the melody of life.
  
  As the chords are touched, notes sound, and melodies are made. In a rare moment, the right chord is touched in the F key, and Faith echoes. From then on, the melody will remain in the F key with Jesus conducting.
  
  The melody reaches a climax with the last note played in the E key, Eternity. Melodies played in the F key, ending in the E key, wrapped in meaning, and harmonised by Christ for a better sound, please the Lord. It is hoped that the poems and the proverbs written in this book will touch the hearts of the readers to generate a response which is worthy of a true inner faith in God.

  Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a remarkable collection of luminous poems for cherishing cultures, languages, and the Earth — From poet and urbanist Dr. Amy Shimshon-Santo.“Listen with your natural body,” writes Shimshon-Santo. “In the beginning, there was song.” This collection tracks a woman’s search for language and belonging. Choral, cryptographic, and exhilarating, Shimshon-Santo provides glimpses into a poetics of  planetary livability.The collection opens with a “genealogy of the moment” in “x or x prime clock time.” Trees and vines “tangle their hair together” to escape over brick walls. A piano decomposes into forest mulch. Seaweed fronds curl around pilings. Gravity “plants humans in the ground like oaks” while black birds murmurate skyward. Echolocate in the galaxy through poems, and become a “rapture gawker of infinity consciousness.”Mother tongues join a line dance of translations with family and friends. A trilingual villanelle for òrìṣà cohabitates with talmudic inspired piyyut. Poems morph into flow charts, pictograms, haikus, and chants — scattered between photographs of habitats.Her verse has kinesthetic momentum on the page—flowing from right to left or left to right, ascending or descending, to weave conversations between languages. The outcome of Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a homecoming to the body and the planet; respect for multiple languages and awe for life in our pluriverse.

  Silverbourne: The George Files:...

  Alexander Paul Burton

  George de Clare is broke, charming, and completely unable to decide between four men and at least two career paths. New York is not helping. 
   
  The British Mirage is the fourth act of The George Files: a gay British literary expat romance set across one sweltering Manhattan May, in rowing clubs, food banks, bagel shops, and the occasional Chelsea brownstone. It is about belonging, performance, food waste, and the particular exhaustion of being far from home while also being exactly where you want to be. 
   
  Funny, warm, and occasionally devastating.
