Sinossi

A despot has come to power. The population is listless, submissive and scared.
But beneath every violation of civil autonomy, there are real human beings; behind every act of resistance, there is an individual willing to risk everything. And these people aren't heroic or remarkable – they're just like us.
Through the lives of bureaucrats, soldiers, ornithologists and tour guides, No Particular Order charts the fate of a single society, asking at every step of the way: is it empathy, or power, that endures?
Joel Tan's startling and apocalyptic play No Particular Order was shortlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award, and opened at Theatre503, London, in May 2022, directed by Josh Roche.
Disponibile da: 09/06/2022.
Lunghezza di stampa: 80 pagine.

    "Lady Gazelle" is one of Maryam Hosseinyan's well-known works that primarily focuses on the life of a lonely and wounded woman. The story of this woman unfolds with the news of her pregnancy, which becomes a turning point that impacts her life. She escapes from the reality of being pregnant and facing the challenges it brings, fleeing instead into a world of dreams and thoughts. This escape from reality and taking refuge in another world becomes her last resort to cope with her problems and to endure life's challenges.

    Flying Yellow - New and Selected...

    The poems in Flying Yellow cry out for the day just out of reach, the day which unaccountably may in a moment or a season let down a joyful light into the obscurity of human trial. A hopeful belief in heaven and the end of suffering colors these profoundly spiritual, often uneasy, poems. Carried by musical currents that shape her work, Rhodes ventures into what she calls "the good dark stuff" of experience—good because the dark is where Christ went, willingly, to take it captive. Whether probing the meaning of her own personal traumas or those of historical figures like Mary Rowlandson and Dorothy Bradford; whether peeling back layers of habitual sight to see the natural world of robins and ghost crabs and shorelines more truly, she brings the reader alongside in each surprising encounter to see the possibilities of light.

    In in Singularity, verbal and visual imagery merge seamlessly. Artworks from my in Singularity sketchbook—together with selected pieces from my wider archive of drawings and paintings—now accompany the poems that inspired them, as well as those they in turn inspired. 
    I am both a mother and a child. 
    The child writes with an innate curiosity about the small things of the world. 
    The mother reflects on the self, on grown-up love and loss, on the beginnings and endings of life. Sometimes the mother edits the child’s work; other times the child urges the mother to write fearlessly, to explore without hesitation, to embrace mistakes. 
    As I revisit my past writing, recurring themes surface: my skin as a generating idea, water in nature, the end of the universe, the celebration of life, and the necessity of letting go to regain control. These threads called me to gather my writings—poetry and prose alike, from sketchbooks and beyond—into this book. 
    The small fragments of text accumulate over time, gaining weight until they gather themselves into a few poems each year. Meanwhile, the drawings in my sketchbook, once left behind, have found their own expressive ground and grown into full illustrations. They now accompany the text, reminding us of the interconnected, idea-generating relationship between the verbal and the visual.

    Mist to Shadow To Light - Three...

    This book is a heartfelt mixture of spiritual and encouraging poetry. Some of the poems draw from my own life experiences, spanning from childhood to adulthood. I have poured warmth, love, and care into these words, with the intention of reaching people who may be struggling with depression or hardship. My hope is to point them toward their Creator, offering comfort and understanding. I want to remind readers that everyday disappointments are a natural part of life, but we will get through them and be just fine. 
    One of the poems, “What Is The Fabric of Your Love,” explores the love between a man and a woman, highlighting the deep emotional connections we as humans need in order to feel whole. Throughout the collection, I offer analogies and perspectives that encourage us to think about the world around us and our shared humanity. It is a call to show compassion and belief in humanity—something we often forget in the busyness of our lives. My poems aim to touch the psyche, shedding light on the things we are too busy to think about, but that we all experience in one way or another. I strive to keep the work relatable and touching, offering a message that can bring a smile to your face or inspire you to bless someone else with kindness. 
    One poem that is very dear to me is a tribute to Mr. Tyre Nichols, who tragically lost his life at the hands of police. The poem, titled “My Skateboard and Me,” is a heartfelt expression of grief and reflection. Another poem, “We All Begin and End with Each Other,” calls for greater unity and connection across ethnic lines, encouraging us to reach out to our neighbors, no matter their background. In “Who’s on Third,” I reflect on the time when we all must leave this earth, while “Banana Fritters Makes Me Smile” takes the reader on a nostalgic journey back to childhood memories.
