Sinopsis

John Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn" masterfully intertwines rich imagery and profound philosophical inquiry, capturing the essence of beauty and truth through the lens of an ancient artifact. The poem unfolds in a series of contemplative stanzas, where the speaker engages with the urn's frozen scenes, contemplating the paradox of ephemeral human experiences against the timelessness of art. Keats employs a Romantic style, imbued with sensual language and vivid descriptions, to explore themes of love, transience, and the interplay between reality and idealism, situating the work within the broader Romantic movement's pursuit of transcendence through art. John Keats, one of the most prominent figures of the Romantic era, was deeply influenced by his own tragic experiences and the fleeting nature of life. His background in medicine, coupled with a passion for poetry, allowed him to merge scientific observation with artistic expression. The creation of "Ode on a Grecian Urn" was spurred by an intense exploration of mortality and the enduring legacy of beauty, which characterizes much of his oeuvre. This compelling ode is essential reading for anyone interested in the nuances of art, beauty, and the human condition. Keats's eloquent exploration invites readers to reflect on their own experiences with art and its capacity to immortalize moments that life itself cannot sustain.

    Liam and Fletch grew up together. Born on the same street. Best mates since primary. Inseparable. The only difference was while Fletch was getting suspended from school, Liam was studying. And now he's going to Oxford. But with Liam gone, who's going to keep Fletch out of trouble?
    Sorry, You're Not a Winner explores aspiration, social mobility and getting caught between classes. It asks: if 'making it' means leaving everything you know and everyone you love behind – what's the point?
    This powerful and striking play by Samuel Bailey was first produced in 2022 by Paines Plough and Theatre Royal Plymouth, in association with the University of Plymouth's School of Society and Culture, before touring nationally.
    'An intricate and moving study of social mobility... gripping and nuanced... Bailey continues his development as one of the most socially engaged writers working in theatre today' - Guardian

    An assured and inventive debut, The Thoughts explores different manifestations of intrusive thoughts as part of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) before navigating through the twists and turns of recovery and love. These poems inhabit therapists' treatment rooms, waiting rooms, and everyday documents, appearing in such varied forms as emails, research proposals and kids' puzzles. Compassionate and at times painfully humorous, The Thoughts is an act of advocacy, giving voice to critically underrepresented experiences of illness through poems that are as peculiar and creative as they are arresting.

    rock flight is a book-length poem that follows a personal and historical narrative to compose an understated yet powerful allegory of Palestine's occupation. The poem uses refrains of suffocation, rubble, and migratory bird patterns to address the realities of forced displacement, economic restrictions and surveillance technology that Palestinians face both within and outside Palestine. It depicts a restlessness brought about by dispossession, and a determination to find significance in fleeting objects and fragments. It looks to the literary form as an interactive experience, and the book as an object in flux, inviting the reader to embark on an exploration of space, while limited by the box-like confines of the page. Formally claustrophobic, the poem morphs into irony, declaring everything a box while refusing to exist within one.
    'rock flight is relentlessly potent. Merging resistance and poetry, Hasib Hourani writes back—against the "suffocating state" and imperial forces. Be ready to be transformed by Hourani's diasporic anticolonial poetics.' — Don Mee Choi
    'Here is a poetry of passion; a poetry of necessity; a poetry of survival, and a poetry-triumphant.' — Maxine Beneba Clarke

Highly recommended!" —Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine

The poems are philosophical and eerie, sometimes brutal and disturbing, with a lot of sharp edges and concise choices of language and imagery." —Erinn Kemper, horror and weird fiction author whose stories have appeared in Tor.com, Black Static, Chiral Mad, Prism, Cemetery Dance Magazine, Dark Discoveries, and other markets
