Sinossi

Gita Govinda by Jayadeva is a celebrated masterpiece of classical Indian poetry that beautifully expresses divine love, devotion, and spiritual longing. Composed in the 12th century, this lyrical work is one of the most cherished texts in the tradition of devotional literature, portraying the sacred relationship between Lord Krishna and Radha through a series of passionate and poetic songs. 🎶📜

Set against the enchanting landscapes of Vrindavan, the poem unfolds as a dramatic and emotional narrative that explores the deep bond between Radha and Krishna. Their love story is filled with moments of joy, separation, yearning, reconciliation, and spiritual fulfillment. Through these emotional experiences, Jayadeva presents love not merely as a human feeling but as a profound expression of the soul's longing for union with the divine.

The work is composed of twelve cantos containing lyrical songs meant to be sung and performed. Each section captures different stages of Radha and Krishna's relationship, moving from playful romance and misunderstanding to deep longing and ultimate reunion. Jayadeva's exquisite poetry, rich imagery, and musical rhythm make the text both a literary and devotional treasure.

One of the remarkable features of Gita Govinda is its blend of sensual beauty and spiritual symbolism. The emotions of love and separation reflect the devotional path in which the devotee seeks closeness with the divine through intense longing and surrender. This spiritual interpretation has made the work deeply significant in the Bhakti tradition, where love for the divine is seen as the highest form of devotion.

Over the centuries, Gita Govinda has inspired countless forms of art, music, dance, and temple rituals throughout India. Classical dance traditions such as Odissi and Bharatanatyam frequently draw upon its verses, bringing the poetry to life through expressive performance.

Today, Gita Govinda remains one of the most admired works of Sanskrit literature. Its lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and spiritual message continue to captivate readers and devotees alike. 🌸 Through its timeless verses, Jayadeva's masterpiece celebrates the power of love, devotion, and the eternal union between the human soul and the divine.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we collect together poets who, by the mere colour of their skin, were treated with such disdain and racism that it is difficult to believe that poetry of such tenderness, beauty and authority could exist.

    Cate McNider's poetry is a remarkable journey through the depths of the human experience. In Escape Velocity, she invites us to explore the uncharted territories of our inner selves and discover what lies beneath the surface. With each poem, she fearlessly confronts her own conditioning and strips away the layers of habit and illusion that obscure our true nature. 
    Her words are a profound meditation on the power of vulnerability and the transformative force of love and understanding. McNider takes us on a journey through the Void, the space within ourselves where we can find the answers to life's most profound questions. 
    Through her daring, honest, and often humorous approach, McNider reminds us that we are all the Source of our own reality. Her poetry is not just a reportage of her own transcendent process, but a call to action for each of us to undertake our own journey of self-discovery. 
    Escape Velocity is not just a collection of poems, but a profound work of art that challenges us to see ourselves and thus the world with new eyes. McNider's courage and insight will leave you potently aware, daring you to take the leap into the unknown and discover the truth that lies within.

    Winner of the inaugural Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, North American Stadiums is an assured debut collection about grace—the places we search for it, and the disjunction between what we seek and where we arrive. 
    “You were supposed to find God here / the signs said.” In these poems, hinterlands demand our close attention; overlooked places of industry become sites for pilgrimage; and history large and small—of a city, of a family, of a shirt—is unearthed. Here is a factory emptying for the day, a snowy road just past border patrol, a baseball game at dusk. Mile signs point us toward Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Salt Lake City, Chicago. And god is not the God expected, but the still moment amid movement: a field “lit like the heart / of the night,” black stars stitched to the yellow sweatshirts of men in a crowd. 
    A map “bleached / pale by time and weather,” North American Stadiums is a collection at once resolutely unsentimental yet deeply tender, illuminating the historical forces that shape the places we inhabit and how those places, in turn, shape us.

    'You forget I knew you were a queer long before I knew you were a fascist.'
    1974, a public lavatory. Nicky shaves his head, watched by an older man.
    Publicly, Nicky is a skinhead. And a neo-Nazi. But right now, in this place, that doesn't matter. This is not the first man Nicky has met in a public toilet, and he won't be the last…
    Spanning twenty years and inspired by a true story, Foam examines the nature of identity and the consequences of right-wing extremist ideology against the backdrop of London's skinhead and gay scenes of the 1970s and 1980s.
    Colliding the terrifyingly personal and the violently political, Harry McDonald's play Foam was first performed at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Matthew Iliffe.
