Speakerbox is a soulful mixture of poems aimed to represent our voices. We are loud and boisterous, but also quiet and reserved at the same time. These poems are meant to touch us, remind us, make us smile, and at times make us angry and sad. We all have a voice that needs to be heard, and by hearing mine, you can also hear yours as well.
A vicious comedy about disinformation and dinosaurs. A late-night screening of a certain Spielberg classic triggers carnage on a university campus.

Jurassic, Tim Foley's satire about fake news and fossils, was premiered at Soho Theatre, London, in 2025, produced by Ransack.Show book

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature. Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy. These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art. Genius is written in their names. In this volume we explore the poets of the South-East. Although only a small fragment of the island it is layer-rich in gentle natural landscapes and poetic beauty that hold in thrall all who take time to absorb the wonder of their words. Our poets include Matthew Arnold, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Robert Seymour Bridges and many others.Show book
In this lyrical and speculative mosaic novel, enter the fractured worlds of an actress, playwright, and immortal poet, whose legend and influence create an energetic web, equal parts love triangle and haunted house of mirrors. At the bated edge of dream and revelation, spanning New York, Mexico, and a twilight Bardo realm, each of the characters—Viola, Evie and Arturo—undertake metamorphic journeys through the interior hinterlands of the psyche, in their quest for home and spiritual reckoning. Mythology, pop culture, cinema, theater, and sorcery dwell in the multi-chambered heart of the mutable narrative, which includes Joan of Arc, a teenage suicide cult, the Arcana of the Tarot, vaudeville remixes, shamanic alchemy, and a mystical radio whose bandwidth covers all of time, space and history. What others are saying: John Biscello’s astonishing work, The Last Furies, is a vaudeville routine wrapped around a radio drama, tucked into a theater piece, bound by a screenplay, drawn into a rich and sprawling novel… – Louis Greenstein, author of The Song of Life and Mr. Boardwalk What others are saying: The Last Furies invites you on a hallucinogenic trip, where immortal archetypes whirl through shifting masks in a dreamscape that is equally out of time and of our time. But don’t be fooled by the illusion of fragmentation: all is interconnected in this magical, unforgettable, and fearless fusion of experimental mediums—a feat only possible thanks to the storied and wild mind of John Biscello. – Johanna DeBiase, Author of Mama & the Hungry Hole and GestationShow book
