Sinossi

In "Plays: Fourth Series," John Galsworthy delves into the complexities of human relationships and the societal constraints that bind them. This collection presents a compelling examination of themes such as morality, class struggle, and the inexorable passage of time. Through his nuanced characters and sharp dialogue, Galsworthy combines naturalism with a poetic sensibility, creating a vivid portrayal of early 20th-century life that resonates with universal truths. The interplay of personal and societal conflict reflects the literary context of the period, particularly in relation to the modernist movement, which sought to challenge traditional narratives and embrace innovative structures. John Galsworthy, a prominent figure in English literature, is best known for his explorations of social issues and moral dilemmas. His own experiences, including his background as a member of the British upper class and his involvement in social reform movements, heavily influenced his writing. Reluctantly, he confronted the realities of class disparity and human ambition, finding expression in the theatre, which allowed him to engage audiences with powerful performances and poignant messages. This collection is a must-read for those interested in the intersection of dramatic art and social commentary. Galsworthy's capacity to reflect the human experience within the confines of societal expectation offers readers an engaging exploration of ethical complexity that remains relevant today.

Songs for the Land-Bound

Violeta Garcia-Mendoza

Violeta Garcia-Mendoza’s luminous debut seeks out ways of coping in a complicated age. Exploring the constraints and anxieties of midlife in the midst of climate breakdown, of motherhood in a period of personal and planetary vulnerability, these poems speak to the persistence of nature, creativity, and love: necessary sources of hope and beauty, the ties that bind us to this shared and sacred place. Here is a lyrical and resonant new songbook for survival, a flight across the uneasy darkness, a shining course through the “wreckage strung with violets.”

Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus

Signe Gjessing

An exquisite, lyrical reimagining of Wittgenstein's philosophical work of 1922, from a rising star on par with Inger Christensen
Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, often noted as the most important philosophical work of the 20th century, had a broad goal: to identify the relationship between language and reality, and to define the limits of science.
Following on from Wittgenstein 100 years later, Signe Gjessing updates and reimagines the Tractatus, marrying poetry with philosophy to test the boundaries of reality. Stunning, knowing, and revitalising, and glinting with stars, silk, and ecstasy, this is poetry which exacts the logical consequence of philosophy, while locating beauty and significance in the nonsense of the world.

Washed Over - Or Things Dedicated

Reinfred Dziedzorm Addo

When examining his own poetry Reinfred Dziedzorm Addo often finds he is merely a conduit for the words, the inspiration source itself being a force or another being. In acknowledging a poem’s inspiration source, he calls the resulting work a ‘dedicada’, meaning something written in dedication or in recognition of another. 
A debut full poetry collection, Washed Over expands upon Addo’s chapbook The Dedicadas and is a journey through a space filled with a breadth of forces and beings active in one’s existence. Identity, chaos, autumn colors, exile, people learning from the universe itself...these and other dedicadas make this collection an exploration of the experiences of someone washed over by life’s many inspirations.
