'I write. I demand. I ask. Not for women to have power over men but over themselves.' Trailblazing writer, feminist philosopher, and fearless campaigner for women's rights, Mary Wollstonecraft lived a life of courage and determination. She dared to defy the conventions of eighteenth-century Britain, and kept going when many wanted to bring her down. Maureen Lennon's play Mary and the Hyenas is a searing tribute to the spirit and resilience of a woman who fought for equality and justice – and an exhilarating dive into history and the birth of feminism. Be prepared for petticoats to be lifted, boots to be stamped, and voices raised in the pursuit of change. Featuring electrifying music by Billy Nomates and performed by a cast of six, Mary and the Hyenas was first produced by Hull Truck Theatre and Pilot Theatre, directed by Esther Richardson, and opened at Hull Truck Theatre in 2025 before a UK tour. This edition includes the full text of the play along with a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.Ver libro
This book celebrates a dark night of the soul. Shines light into the shadow. Offers hope. Augmented Realities melds human poetry with artificial intelligence generated artwork to create something truly unique, taking readers on a journey of triumph over adversity through radical self-acceptance and the embracing of silence and stillness in an increasingly fast paced world.Ver libro
In England the Victorian Age was about to become the past and a new age of worldwide wars of horror and slaughter would envelop and decimate generations, forever staining mankind. The Century would see the World discover strengths. The Democracies would stand firm against Fascism and later Communism yet still keep its own elite and privileged in power and the rest of us underfoot. The World was more connected than ever before. Culture accelerated its kaleidoscopic and interwoven journey. Transport delivered people by car and train and then aeroplane to far flung corners of the globe. Empires were at their zenith and ready to fragment with new nations, many troubled, rising from their decay. The natural world continued to be plundered and pillaged for its resources by industries who pledged ‘more’ and ‘better’ and would clothe and feed a growing world yet sow the seeds now ready to devastate us in our current times. The globe was as vibrant and violent as troubled and tarnished as it ever was. But new ideas, new political systems, new times changed everything once again. 1 - The Poets of the Early 20th Century - Volume 1 - An Introduction 2 - At the Grave of the Forgotten by Effie Waller Smith 3 - Preparation by Effie Waller Smith 4 - A Rajput Love Song by Sarojini Naidu 5 - My Dead Dream by Sarojini Naidu 6 - The Poet's Love Song by Sarojini Naidu 7 - The Royal Tombs of Golconda by Sarojini Naidu 8 - Real Property by Harold Monro 9 - Midnight Lamentation by Harold Monro 10 - Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens 11 - The Emperor of Ice Cream by Wallace Stevens 12 - The Snow Man by Wallace Stevens 13 - Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock by Wallace Stevens 14 - The Wayfarer by Patrick Pearse 15 - The Mother by Patrick Pearse 16 - To My Daughter Betty, The Gift of God by Tom Kettle 17 - On Leaving Ireland, July 14th 1916 by Tom Kettle 18 - Tenebris by Angelina Weld Grimké 19 - The Eyes of My Regret by Angelina Weld Grimké 20 - Image by Edward Storer 21 - The Blind Ploughman by Radclyffe Hall 22 - Ode To Sappho by Radclyffe Hall 23 - Ardour by Radclyffe Hall 24 - Palace by Guillaume Apollinaire 25 - One Evening by Guillaume Apollinaire 26 - The White Snow by Guillaume Apollinaire 27 - The Heart of A Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson 28 - When I Rise Up by Georgia Douglas Johnson 29 - Sunlight and the Sea by Alfred Noyes 30 - The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes 31 - The Rose by John Cournos 32 - Among the Rodins by John Cournos 33 - The Volunteer by Herbert Asquith 34 - Autumn, 1914 by Mary Webb 35 - Fallen by Alice Corbin 36 - Two Voices by Alice Corbin 37 - The Joy of a Dog by Edgar Albert Guest 38 - See It Through by Edgar Albert Guest 39 - It Couldn't Be Done by Edgar Albert Guest 40 - An Old Woman of the Roads by Padraic Colum 41 - A Prayer by James Joyce 42 - Tilly by James Joyce 43 - Sleep Now, O Sleep Now by James Joyce 44 - Night Piece by James Joyce 45 - Translation by Anne Spencer 46 - White Things by Anne Spencer 47 - Deirdre by James Stephens 48 - Midnight by James Stephens 49 - La Vie C'est La Vie by Jessie Fauset 50 - Dead Fires by Jessie Fauset 51 - Spectral by John Drinkwater 52 - The Life of Love - Spring by Khalil Gibran 53 - On Pain by Khalil Gibran 54 - Autumn by Khalil Gibran 55 - Song of the Flower by Khalil Gibran 56 - Proof of Immortality by William Carlos Williams 57 - This Is Just To Say by William Carlos Williams 58 - The Crowd at the Ball Game by WilliamVer libro

Grandfather's Robin offers poems about People, Fellow Creatures, Society, Ekphrasis, Scenes and Moods, Survival, and Short Poems. They were written over several years, in response to people seen, read about, or known, and in response to creatures seen, read about, or known. Other poems respond to group and social behaviour, and reflect responses to works of art. Some poems are prompted by the natural world, urban and village life, and thoughts about the survival of all beings. The short poems offer instants both serious and humorous. “So many reasons to enjoy Gillian Bickley’s luminous poetry – humour, depth and wisdom. ... Lovely and evocative, Bickley’s powers of observation and precise, selective description lend many of these poems the power of fine portraiture, a sepia photograph, where we see into the eyes, where we discover essence.” — Jack Mayer, poet (Poems from the Wilderness) “In this work, Gillian Bickley affords us a glimpse into her perspective. She invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry of life and our shared human experience. Why should you read this collection? Because there is no greater privilege than intimacy.” —Mary-Jane Newton poet (Of Symbols Misused, Unlocking) “... poems as moments of tranquility in which we can encounter lives unrolling in times that ... are anything but. To make a record such as this is a good resolution indeed, and I am pleased that Gillian has chosen for the cover a moment of tranquility I painted. As Mrs. Dorothy Collins might have said, reflecting, as these poems do, the quietness of a life-long practice, ‘Very well!’” —Steven Schroeder, ChicagoVer libro
