Lewis Carroll

Beschreibung

In "Three Sunsets and Other Poems," Lewis Carroll explores the delicate interplay between reality and imagination through a series of whimsical and thought-provoking verses. Often celebrated for his masterful use of language and inventive wordplay, Carroll's poems capture fleeting moments of beauty, nostalgia, and reflection. The collection stands out for its lyrical charm and vivid imagery, representative of the Victorian era's fascination with both nonsense and profound philosophical inquiry. Each poem serves as a canvas depicting the ephemeral nature of time, illustrated through the metaphor of sunsets, suggesting a harmonious blend of playful spirit and deeper existential contemplation. Lewis Carroll, known primarily for his celebrated works "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," was heavily influenced by his background in mathematics and logic. His fascination with the absurd, coupled with his keen insights into human nature and society, propelled him into the realm of poetry.

I Feed The Cat - thoughts on...

Keith Whiting

“Scribire iussit amor” 
Ovid 
(“Love compelled me to write”) 
As with most art, the words in this book were inspired by love. 
Inspired by women I have loved and one in particular, who I may have loved before. 
The woman who inspired many of these words is one of the very few truly spiritual people I’ve ever known. In spite of a life often tormented by cruelty and neglect, she retained a rare spirituality and compassion. 
She enriched my life and for that I will never forget her. 
These are some of the poems. 
Written over the past couple of years (something creative came out of the COVID lockdown). Some describe experiences and feelings directly related to my relationships and circumstances. Some figments of my imagination. 
This book is divided into three sections: 
Life, Love, and Loss 
You can start reading from the beginning through to the end, or you can pick a section depending on your mood, or dip in and out at random.

Be Holding - A Poem

Ross Gay

Winner, 2021 PEN/Jean Stein Award Winner, 2021 Ohioana Book Award in Poetry Winner, 2022 Indiana Author Award in Poetry Be Holding is a love song to legendary basketball player Julius Erving—known as Dr. J—who dominated courts in the 1970s and ‘80s as a small forward for the Philadelphia ‘76ers. But this book-length poem is more than just an ode to a magnificent athlete. Through a kind of lyric research, or lyric meditation, Ross Gay connects Dr. J’s famously impossible move from the 1980 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers to pick-up basketball and the flying Igbo and the Middle Passage, to photography and surveillance and state violence, to music and personal histories of flight and familial love. Be Holding wonders how the imagination, or how our looking, might make us, or bring us, closer to each other. How our looking might make us reach for each other. And might make us be reaching for each other. And how that reaching might be something like joy.

Lavender Hyacinth Violet Yew

Coral Wylie

'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.
