Summary

'Like Basho and like Rumi, Mary Oliver and William Carlos Williams, Jayne Linke has a mystic-seeming knack for rendering complexity in profoundly straight forward terms. Her poems themselves can be read quickly and easily, at least in terms of the words on the page. Yet their impact lingers long, provoking new ways of seeing and appreciating the small and large things commonly taken for granted or overlooked. Jayne’s poetic gifts include her keen eye for detail and her capacity for showing rather than telling. As a reader, I feel she takes my hand and guides me to the spring of insight, then offers a delicious freedom regarding where, when and how to dive in. Notable, too, is Jayne’s personable yet playful language, which sparkles with inventive metaphors, imagery and musicality reflecting a long-standing passion for words. This is a collection that will captivate a broad range of readers, including both poetry aficionados and those perhaps not otherwise inclined towards the poetic genre. I recommend it particularly for those of us who, leading busy lives, need to slow down and breathe in some mindfulness – a reminder of how precious and how rare life truly is.' - Dr Amelia Walker, SA poet 
'To wander through the natural world accompanied by Jayne’s poetry is to see it come alive with vivid colour, texture, sound and scent. Each and every page of this anthology reminds us to take a longer pause, allowing our senses to become drenched in Mother Nature’s abundant majesty. In these troubled times for our blue planet, Jayne’s poetry faithfully honours the precious gift of our dwelling place in the cosmos. She is a modern minstrel whose honeyed tropes sing hymns of praise to our diverse, beguiling, and magnificent world.' - Rebekah Popescu, art psychotherapist at Adelaide Art Therapy, academic and lecturer at the Ikon Institute of Australia

    Neil Simon takes a good look at apartment life, career and role reversals, a nervous breakdown, and the love, torture, care, or inertia that somehow keeps a couple in a relationship for many years. At points, it's laugh-out-loud funny; at other times, it offers sensitive insight into the human condition. Fast-moving dialog with nonstop Simon quips and jokes performed extremely well by two fine actors: who could ask for more? This is classic American comedy produced, acted, recorded, and packaged in an exemplary manner.An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Annie Abbott, Lorin Dreyfuss, Richard Dreyfuss, Betty Garrett, Sharon Madden and Marsha Mason.

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 20 recordings of The Open Window by Edward Rowland Sill. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for February 27th, 2011.Edward Rowland Sill, American poet and educator, was born in Windsor, Connecticut. He was a modest and charming man, a graceful essayist, a sure critic. His contribution to American poetry is small but of fine quality. His best poems, such as "The Venus of Milo," "The Fool's Prayer" and "Opportunity," gave him a high place among the minor poets of America, which might have been higher but for his early death.

    A worm's eye view of post-Communist Russia, from the Siberian-born author of Plasticine.
A remote railway station in the 'Boundless Motherland'. Stranded there are a young spiv, selling overpriced toasters to the local peasantry, and his heavily pregnant wife. They don't like the place, they don't like the people, and they don't much like each other…
Vassily Sigarev's play Black Milk, in this English translation by Sasha Dugdale, was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2003.
'Terrific… Writers like Sigarev are the future - right now' - Independent
'Moves between harsh realism and flights of dramatic poetry, between gentle humour and thuggish violence… The Royal Court has discovered a tremendous new talent in Sigarev' - Daily Telegraph
'A vivid picture of Russia's unending contradictions… What makes the play so exciting is its effortless mix of personal and social detail' - Guardian
'Raw, flawed, but very interesting indeed' - The Times
'Sasha Dugdale's translation is brutally and vividly colloquial, and the acting blazes with pain, anger and fugitive hope' - Sunday Times
