  After the turmoil and uncertainty of Henry IV a new era appears to dawn for England with the accession of the eponymous Henry V. In this sunny pageant Chorus guides us along Henry's glittering carpet ride of success as the new king completes his transformation from rebellious wastrel to a truly regal potentate. Of course, there is an underlying feeling that the good times won't last, and this is all the more reason to enjoy the Indian summer before the protracted and bitter fall of the house of Lancaster.

  The Resurrection & Calvary

  W. B. Yeats

  When your faith is destroyed, to what do you turn? Reason? Absolution? Or do you continue on believing? These are the clashing personalities of the three men of "The Resurrection," watching guard for the disciples after Jesus' crucifixion, all struggling with their preconceived notions of the world after his death, and are precarious, yet ready, as to what to do next. 
  Can man be satisfied in Heaven? If Heaven is brought down to earth so freely, will man reject it for want of freedom? These are the themes put forward in "Calvary" through the mouths of Lazarus and Judas, the man who could not be beholden to death, and the man who would not be beholden to God. ... And yet, their desires laid upon cross are all too human... all too understandable.

  Soho

  'But tonight I am super-charged, alive, looking into the eyes of / men . . .'
  
  
  In this intimate and vital debut, Richard Scott looks into the places not everyone sees or chooses to see. Against the backdrop of London's Soho, he creates an uncompromising portrait of love and shame, questioning our sense of the permissible and the perverse. Scott takes us back to our roots: childhood incidents, the violence our scars betray, forgotten forebears and histories. The hungers of sexual encounters are underscored by the risks that threaten when we give ourselves to or accept another. But the poems celebrate joy and tenderness, too, as in a sequence re-imagining the love poetry of Verlaine.
  
  
  The collection crescendos to the title-poem, 'Soho!', where a night stroll under the street lamps becomes a search for 'true lineage', a reclamation of stolen ancestors, hope for healing, and, above all, the finding of our truest selves.

  Dante Alighieri’s Paradise, the final part of The Divine Comedy, is a sublime journey through the celestial spheres of Heaven, guided by the idealized Beatrice, symbolizing divine love and theology. As Dante ascends through the nine heavens—Moon to the Empyrean—he encounters blessed souls, explores virtues, and contemplates divine mysteries, free will, and the nature of God. The poem culminates in a transcendent vision of the Holy Trinity, where human reason surrenders to divine grace. Blending poetic beauty, medieval cosmology, and profound spirituality, Paradise celebrates the soul’s ultimate fulfillment in God’s eternal light, offering a powerful vision of love, order, and salvation.
