Sinopse

This collection of experimental, interactive, and erasure pieces explores belonging in its many forms and formats. Readers are invited to reimagine what it means to be and to belong.
 
With poems in quiz, fill-in-the blank, list, and Mad Lib-esque format, readers are prompted to revisit and reimagine preconceived notions of belonging in both inside and outside spaces. Boundaries are tested. Expiration is embraced. From erasures to nontraditional walks across traditional pages, the pieces play with both content and form. Explore travels and tales of red converse laces, queries on currency & hurricanes of human form.
 
If you enjoy poetry like puzzles, and are curious about new visions of belonging, you’ll love this collection. Erase prior notions of what it means to belong. Read the collection inside. Fill in its blanks outside.
Disponível desde: 18/03/2022.

    PICASSO : Poetesque  
    A poem about the cubist painter of the last Century (20th). 
    He was a surrealist artist, and in his earlier works painted in the neoclassical. 
    Born in Spain, he escaped Franco's regime by being in exile in France. 
    Some of his cubist art may have been influenced by his knowledge of the atrocities committed during 
    the Spanish Civil war, especially in his Masterpiece Guernica.

    "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."
    
    With one of the most famous opening lines in literary history, Franz Kafka plunges the reader into the life of Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman who becomes a monstrous vermin overnight. But the true horror of The Metamorphosis isn't the physical transformation—it is the reaction of the world around him. As Gregor becomes a burden to the family he once supported, the story unfolds into a tragic, darkly comic, and deeply unsettling exploration of isolation and the fragile nature of human worth.
    
    The Birth of the "Kafkaesque": Kafka's narrative style creates a world that is at once mundane and nightmarish. The "Kafkaesque" experience is defined by the struggle against an illogical, bureaucratic, and uncaring power—in this case, the expectations of labor and the cold pragmatism of a family under economic stress. Gregor's transformation serves as a powerful metaphor for anyone who has ever felt "othered," discarded, or trapped by their social role.
    
    A Deeply Human Tragedy: Beyond the surreal premise lies a searing look at family dynamics. Witness the transformation of Grete, Gregor's sister, from a sympathetic caretaker to the primary advocate for his removal. The Metamorphosis challenges us to ask: If we can no longer provide value to those we love, do we still deserve their love? It is a quintessential work of 20th-century literature that remains as relevant and gut-wrenching today as the day it was written.
    
    Step into the room of Gregor Samsa. Purchase "The Metamorphosis" today and experience the ultimate story of the outsider.

    Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in. In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside.

    'I'm going to answer all your wishes, bubba! Big or small, it'll be me who makes them come true, no one else.'
    Leila is happy living at home with Noor, her loving but traditional grandmother. But when Aleena, her fiercely independent mother, returns home from prison determined to deliver a new world of fun and excitement, their calm lives are upended in a blur of nail varnish and sweet treats.
    Family secrets come tumbling into the light, and Leila finds the task of deciding on her future more difficult than she first thought.
    Ambreen Razia's play Favour is a touching and hopeful family drama about a working-class Muslim family, tackling duty, addiction and the challenge of pulling yourself back together after it all falls apart. It was a Bush Theatre and Clean Break co-production and premiered at the Bush, London, in 2022, directed by Róisín McBrinn and Sophie Dillon Moniram.
