  blood work: poems

  bani haykal, David Wong Hsien...

  blood/work brings together three poets whose voices intertwine across themes of endurance, immanent pain, and the body’s remembering. Moving between confession and collaboration, the collection traces how blood—as kinship, sacrifice, and persistence—binds us to histories both chosen and imposed.  
   
  Each poet writes into the work of living: the physical, the emotional, and the collective labour of becoming. In dialogue, their poems blur boundaries of voice and authorship, building a shared anatomy of care and survival. blood/work asks what is passed through us, what we carry, and how writing might transform what wounds into what endures.

  Performed by Propaganda and featuring four exclusive original songs. 
  In this debut collection of essays and poetry, musician, speaker, and activist Propaganda inspires us to create a better, more equitable world. 
  “If we get to make the very cultures that shape who we are, then let us remake them in the best way possible.” 
  In this deep, challenging, and thoughtful book, Propaganda looks at the ways in which our world is broken. Using the metaphor of terraforming—creating a livable world out of an inhospitable one—he shows how we can begin to reshape our homes, friendships, communities, and politics. 
  In this transformative time—when we are redefining what a truly just and equitable world looks like, and reflecting on the work that needs to be done both in our spiritual and secular lives—Propaganda rallies readers to create that just world. He sheds light on how nefarious origin stories have skewed our views of ourselves and others and allowed gross injustices, and demonstrates how great storytelling and excellent art can create and shape new perspectives of the world and make all of us better. 
  ?Includes the songs "" IAGBTW (It Ain't Gotta Be This Way)”, "" The Soils Alive"", "" Us We "", and ""Imagine"" (featuring Nahoa Life) by Propaganda.

  Don Quixote of La Mancha

  Miguel de Cervantès

  Don Quixote of La Mancha tells the story of Alonso Quixano, a middle-aged man from Spain who becomes so obsessed with tales of chivalry that he loses his sanity and decides to become a knight-errant. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he sets out on a quest to revive honor, defend the helpless, and live according to the ideals of heroic knights. 
  Accompanied by his loyal but practical squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote embarks on a series of misadventures where imagination and reality constantly clash. He famously mistakes windmills for giants, inns for castles, and ordinary people for characters in grand epics. While his actions often lead to comedic and sometimes tragic consequences, his unwavering belief in his mission gives the story a deeper emotional resonance. 
  Through humor, satire, and rich storytelling, Cervantes explores themes of illusion versus reality, the power of dreams, and the complexity of human nature. Don Quixote is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of literature ever written and a cornerstone of modern fiction.

  The Decadent Poets - Where words...

  Oscar Wilde, Charles Baudelaire,...

  • 0

  Decadent poetry was a late 19th-century movement that seemingly originated with the first use of the word by Charles Baudelaire.  The movement championed the idea that art should exist for its aesthetic value, unburdened by moral or social obligations.  As a consequence, it challenged the strict moral codes of the Victorian era, often exploring themes associated with eroticism, forbidden desires, artificiality, the ravages of time, beauty, death, and decay which were often perceived as transgressive, even taboo. 
  Within its ranks are a who’s-who of unconventional and confrontational talent as well as perhaps its greatest exponent; Oscar Wilde, whose embracing of moral rebelliousness and unmasking of Victorian hypocrisy sums up the movement’s greatest achievement.
