Sinopsis

John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields, and Other Poems" stands as a poignant reflection on the harrowing realities of World War I, encapsulating the intersection of personal grief and collective trauma. Through evocative imagery and masterful use of traditional forms, McCrae employs a lyrical style that balances solemnity with beauty. The titular poem, with its haunting refrain, has transcended its immediate context to emerge as an emblem of wartime remembrance, capturing the essence of human resilience amid desolation. Situated within the broader canon of war poetry, McCrae'Äôs work confronts both the valor and futility of armed conflict. A Canadian physician and soldier, John McCrae's experiences on the battlefield profoundly shaped his literary voice. His medical background, combined with his account of personal loss'Äîthe death of a close friend'Äîprovides a unique lens through which he explores themes of mortality, sacrifice, and the fragility of life. McCrae'Äôs devotion to his craft and his commitment to honoring fallen comrades underscore the emotional depth of his poetry, making it a significant contribution to the genre. "In Flanders Fields, and Other Poems" is essential reading for those seeking to understand the complexities of war and its lasting impacts on the human spirit. McCrae's eloquence invites readers to contemplate the costs of conflict and the enduring power of memory, making this collection resonate well beyond its historical moment.

'A garden without a traditional English rose is a cardinal sin – and I committed eight of those before my Ready Brek'
Nineteen-year-old Pip is trying to find themselves through gardening. But with a dad more interested in plants than people and a mum stuck in the past, they're left to ponder life's questions alone.
Then one day, they uncover a jacket in the attic that's been gathering dust. Bold, vibrant and very '80s, in its pocket lies a diary belonging to someone long gone. Swept up in the mystery, Pip digs into the past, unearthing secrets about an old friend their parents don't want to discuss…
Funny, affecting and beautifully queer, Coral Wylie's play Lavender, Hyacinth, Violet, Yew tracks one family's efforts to assuage the past and plant the seeds of a better future. It was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award in 2023 and premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Debbie Hannan and starring Omari Douglas, Pooky Quesnel and Wil Johnson alongside the playwright.

Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Winner of the 2021 Off the Grid Poetry Prize. In MORE AMERICAN, poet Sharon Hashimoto reconstructs a collective memory, conjuring the voices of grandparents, children, soldiers, and "those left to tell." In moving detail, these poems convey the realities of assimilation, service, and internment as experienced by Japanese Americans during, and in the decades following, the Second World War. In this stunning second collection, Hashimoto reckons with the limitations of language, and by extension, notions of citizenship. She deftly sounds the dissonances in the language of loyalty and allegiance.
