Sinopse

In "Six Short Plays," John Galsworthy presents a collection of keenly observed vignettes that explore the complexities of human relationships and societal norms in early 20th-century England. Employing a masterful blend of realism and irony, Galsworthy's plays delve into themes of justice, morality, and the intricacies of family dynamics, all while highlighting the nuances of class distinction. His sharp dialogue and penetrating character studies reflect a profound understanding of the human psyche, drawing readers into a world that is both specific and universally resonant in its exploration of personal and social conflicts. John Galsworthy, known for his richly textured narratives and his role as a leading figure in the literary response to the changing social landscape of his time, was influenced by his own experiences in the upper-middle class and the legal profession. His background provided him with unique insights into both societal expectations and individual desires, likely informing the thematic richness of these plays. Galsworthy's dedication to addressing social issues through artistic expression earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932, marking him as a significant voice in modern drama. "Six Short Plays" is a recommended read for anyone interested in the intersection of drama and social commentary. Galsworthy's ability to provoke thought while entertaining makes this collection essential for scholars and enthusiasts of theater alike. Each play serves not only as a mirror reflecting its time but also as a timeless examination of humanity, making it a profound addition to any literary collection.

    Get Well Soon - Poems

    In the spring of 2020, Jamie Sharpe was in New Brunswick, purportedly studying the famed Magnetic Hill outside Moncton. A dog-walker discovered Sharpe in a ditch, disrobed except for his backpack containing a manuscript …
    		 
    With his fifth collection, Get Well Soon, Sharpe reaffirms “he is utter master of his language. Whether [Sharpe’s] poems are the result of long lucubration or the inspiration of the moment, they bear no mark of effort, and it is not without admiration, nor even without astonishment, that one is carried along — by the noble, unswerving amble of those gorgeous stanzas, proud white hackneys harnessed in gold — into the glory of the evenings. Rich and subtle, [Jamie Sharpe]’s poetry is never merely lyrical; it always encloses an idea within the garland of its metaphors, and however vague or general that idea may be, it serves to strengthen the necklace; the pearls are secured by a thread that, though sometimes invisible, is ever sure.”
