Sinopse

Talented newcomer Jonathan Ball’s Clockfire is a suite of poetic blueprints for imaginary plays that would be impossible to produce  plays in which, for example, the director burns out the sun, actors murder their audience, and the laws of physics are flagrantly violated. The poems in one sense replace the need for drama, and are predicated on the idea that modern theatre lacks both 'clocks' and 'fire' and thus fails to offer its audiences immediate, violent engagement. They sometimes resemble the scores for Fluxus 'happenings,' but they replace the casual aesthetic and DIY simplicity of Fluxus art with something more akin to the brutality of Artaud’s theatre of cruelty. Italo Calvino as rewritten by H. P. Lovecraft, Ball’s 'plays' break free of the constraints of reality and artistic category to revel in their own dazzling, magnificent horror.

The first print collection of Dorothy Bonarjee's verse

In February 1914, Dorothy 'Dorf' Bonarjee was awarded the Bardic chair at the UCW Eisteddfod for verse. She was the first woman and first non-European to win Wales' most prestigious literary prize.

In their 34th Welsh Women's Classic, Honno Welsh Women's Press presents the first publication of Dorothy Bonarjee's verse alongside a vivid account of the poet's extraordinary life in India, London, Wales and France.

Poet Dorothy 'Dorf' Bonarjee was born in India in 1894 into an elite Bengali family. As a child, she moved to London and in 1912 she enrolled at the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth. Two years later, she was awarded the Bardic chair at the Eisteddfod, and went on to publish poems in Welsh journals. Bonarjee later took a law degree at the University of London and eloped with a French artist. France remained her home for the rest of her life.

Above all the poetry in Jesus in the Trailer evokes a cogent sense of place.  Whether addressing police violence on the cobblestone streets of Savannah, the loss of a loved one to dementia, or coming of age in a trailer park in Appalachia, these poems address matters of faith, death, love, lust, and beauty while not masking the pain of Southern history.

After a forty+ years career, and ten years on since Pam Ayres’ last live recordings were released on CD, Pam’s latest audiobook brings together two recent live recordings of her solo stage shows, one at London’s Cadogan Hall, and the other at the Regent Centre, Christchurch, which was recorded in 2019.  Pam introduces each recording, and then as a bonus, reads many of her poems which have not been previously recorded, from her two most recent books, You Made Me Late Again and Up In The Attic. With poems such as "My Mother Was Right About You", "Geriatric Juliet", "Poor Old Father Christmas", and "The Hat From Hell", blending Pam’s characteristically sharp wit with her warm, comic observations on everyday life, this hilariously funny collection is a must have for seasoned fans and first time listeners alike.   It also includes some of Pam’s more reflective poems including the title poem, "Down the Line", which she wrote for the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War.

"If music be the food of love, play on" was one of Shakespeare's finest lines. If music is food, then poetry is the wine.  In this volume of classic love poetry, the flavoured capture of words and rhythms makes us think more carefully of words and their value to us. They also surprise us with their structure and meaning, layering in thoughts and emotions that we might otherwise shy away from. Poems are wonderful ways to express what we feel for a very special someone.  Narrated by Stella Gonet , David Shaw-Parker , Ghizela Rowe , Tim Graham , Alex Jennings
