Sinossi

In "The Madman - His Parables & Poems," Kahlil Gibran employs a unique blend of lyrical prose and poetic verse to explore themes of love, madness, and spiritual transcendence. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century philosophical thought, Gibran's collection takes the reader on a journey through the fragmented psyche of a madman—both a commentator and a seer. The narrative style captures Gibran's characteristic eloquence and depth, interweaving parables that challenge conventional wisdom and evoke a contemplative response. This innovative work encapsulates Gibran's philosophical inquiries into the human condition amidst the sociopolitical upheaval of his time, providing rich insights into the dualities of existence. Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and philosopher, drew inspiration from a diverse array of influences, including his heritage and early life in Lebanon. His exposure to both Eastern mysticism and Western literary traditions is reflected in this collection. Gibran's experiences of displacement and introspection shaped his worldview, making "The Madman" a poignant exploration of identity, belonging, and the search for truth in a complex world. This profound work is highly recommended for readers seeking spiritual awakening and philosophical musings presented in a beautifully crafted format. Gibran's timeless parables resonate deeply with contemporary audiences, making it a must-read for those interested in exploring the depths of the human soul and the beauty within madness.

    '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.

    WINNER OF THE 2024 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYFinalist for the 2023 National Book Award for PoetryWith Tripas, Brandon Som follows up his award-winning debut with a book of poems built out of a multicultural, multigenerational childhood home, in which he celebrates his Chicana grandmother, who worked nights on the assembly line at Motorola, and his Chinese American father and grandparents, who ran the family corner store. Enacting a cómo se dice poetics, a dialogic poem-making that inventively listens to heritage languages and transcribes family memory, Som participates in a practice of mem(oir), placing each poem's ear toward a confluence of history, labor, and languages, while also enacting a kind of "telephone" between cultures. Invested in the circuitry and circuitous routes of migration and labor, Som's lyricism weaves together the narratives of his transnational communities, bringing to light what is overshadowed in the reckless transit of global capitalism and imagining a world otherwise―one attuned to the echo in the hecho, the oracle in the órale.
