Lorenzo

Ben Targét

When Ben Targét was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2012 Edinburgh Comedy Awards, he was set on the path to becoming a critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning performance artist.
Eight years later, amidst a global pandemic, he gave it all up to become the live-in carer for his uncle: an irascible octogenarian prankster called Lorenzo Wong.
LORENZO is their story, a show that confronts the messiness of ageing and dying through the medium of storytelling, servitude to the audience and live carpentry, a combination not seen on the world stage since Nazareth circa 30AD.
This book is the full script of that life-affirming show, with illustrations by Targét himself. It was directed by Adam Brace, and was premiered at Summerhall, Edinburgh, during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it was awarded a Fringe First. It subsequently transferred to Soho Theatre, London.

Casual Conversation

Renia White, Aracelis Girmay

A Blessing the Boats Selection with a Foreword by Aracelis Girmay, Renia White’s debut poetry collection pushes against state-sanctioned authority and societal thought while ruminating on Black joy. 


 
Renia White’s debut poetry collection strikes up a conversation, considering what’s being said, what isn’t, and where it all come from. From her vantage point of Black womanhood, White probes the norms and mores of everyday interactions. In observations, insights, and snippets of speech, these poems look to the unspoken thoughts behind our banter, questioning the authority of not only the rule of law but also of our small talk itself—the concepts we have accepted and integrated without pause.

 
Casual Conversation imagines a new way of knowing, a way that encourages us to think through how we structure and stratify ourselves, inviting something strange and other to spill out. White challenges us to question whether there is anything casual about this life, even as she invites us to consider other logics and to think alongside each other. This book gives space to hold what we fear out of formality: consequence, embarrassment, anger. It plays, it tarries, it disrupts. It pulls apart what seems sound in an effort to see: what did we make here? How’s it going?

The Poetry of James Russell...

James Russell Lowell

James Russell Lowell was born on 22nd February 1819 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Lowell graduated from Harvard in 1838, and thence on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School.

His literary life began in 1841 with his first published collection of poetry. Three years later he married Maria White and they had several children although, sadly, only one was to survive childhood.

A consuming issue at the time was the abolition of slavery. Lowell was a staunch supporter even going so far as to move to Philadelphia to edit an abolitionist newspaper. His poems were fully in support of Emancipation and the ending of this terrible abomination. His later views were milder and came in for some criticism.

His publication in 1848 of the long poem ‘A Fable for Critics’, satirising the poets and critics of the then current poetry scene caused an uproar. That same year came ‘The Biglow Papers’, which increased his fame and his finances. His use of the Yankee accent in his character’s dialogue was an inspiration for many.

Maria died in 1853 and Lowell decided to travel to Europe for some time before returning to Harvard to take up a professorship of languages. In 1857 he re-married and also took on the editorship of that key periodical ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ whilst continuing to teach at Harvard.

Lowell wrote and published poetry and essay collections throughout his literary career and is acknowledged as one of the ‘Fireside Poets’, a group of New England poets that rivalled the popularity of British poets. Their work was not controversial and suitable for whole families to enjoy hence their name and appeal. Whilst Lowell’s own work does not now attract the same praise as his then contemporaries, he was their equal.

Towards the end of his life Lowell was appointed as ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain and later to the Court of St. James's.

His last years were a return home to his estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts. By the summer of 1891 doctors had diagnosed cancer in his kidneys, liver and lungs. There was nothing that they could do except prescribe opium for the pain.

James Russell Lowell died on the 12th of August 1891 on the Cambridge estate where he was also born. He was 72.

Accessioning

Charlotte Wetton

Through poems about fossilised fruit seeds and the sofa where Emily Brontë died, Wetton questions how we curate the lives of those living and dead in a pamphlet about looking, processing, and memorialising. Whether considering preserved wedding-cakes, a non-existent art exhibition or a human scream, these poems speak to the impossibility of containment and question our ability to map and categorise.
This is a pamphlet of poems about the stories that we tell ourselves, the memories that we construct, and the ways that we value and devalue people, animals and objects alike.
