Beschreibung

The Pulitzer Prize-finalist play that “speaks to the fractious, frightened American moment" through the lives two couples and their strained friendship (Charles Isherwood, The New York Times).In a "first ring" suburb of a midsize American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who've moved into the long-empty house next door. The fledgling friendship soon veers out of control, shattering the fragile hold that newly unemployed Ben and burgeoning alcoholic Mary have on their way of life—with unexpected comic consequences. Detroit is a fresh, offbeat look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves up to something new. After premiering at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre to rave reviews, Lisa D'Amour's brilliant and timely play won the 2013 Obie Award, as well as becoming a finalist for the Pulitzer and Susan Smith Blackburn Awards.

    Five Years with the White Man by Eloka Obi and Saul Boyer is a startling account of satirist ABC Merriman-Labor – the greatest Black Briton ever to have been forgotten – whose dreams of becoming the greatest writer of his generation lead him on a defiant journey from Sierra Leone to Edwardian London.
    Honour-Bound by Zahra Jassi is a powerful solo show about family, anti-Blackness, and what we're willing to sacrifice for love. After Simran loses her friend to honour-based violence, she has to answer some life-changing questions: will she and her boyfriend be able to live safely ever after?
    How We Begin by Elisabeth Lewerenz is a tender exploration of love, queerness and identity. Helen and Diana are perfect for each other: they've both got good degrees, busy jobs and nice flats. There's just one small problem – Diana's got a boyfriend.
    I Fucked You in My Spaceship by Louis Emmitt-Stern is a razor-sharp comedy-drama about sex and relationships. Two couples each invite a stranger into their homes with the hope of sparking new life. Instead, they find themselves threatened by alienation, abduction and invasion...

    "My Life in Poems" is the fusion of cherished memories woven with our parents, grandparents, cousins, friends, and soulmates. 
    In the digital world, where life is virtually driven, there is a feeling of void many times. That’s when we reminisce about our golden days from childhood, memories of adulthood, deep emotions, and the journey of transformation. 
    "My Life in Poems" is a memoir of experiences carefully chosen from the bouquet of soulful moments, instrumental in our evolution, guiding us towards self-realization. The poems also journey through the valley of change, slowly turning us into someone we couldn’t recognize anymore. In these years of ups and downs, while we were living, were we truly living? 
    This question keeps repeating itself as we transition from one place to another, fulfilling someone else’s happiness. The "me" in me is missing. That is why when we were writing these poems, they offered deep insight into all the phases of our lives and the truth behind those lonely and scary moments. The question lurked: will we ever reach our goal? 
    Whether you are a teenager, in your mid-career, or spending time with your grandchildren, these poems will create curiosity and an urge to discover the voice of your inner being. 
    Listen to know more about these soulful revelations from the authors of bestseller romantic, thriller, and adventure fiction novels, and winners of many literary awards. 
    This compilation serves as an endeavor to motivate readers to forge connections with the unspoken voices within, experiencing the magnificent language of our souls. May you find resonance in these verses and derive inspiration from the silent narratives that echo within. 
    Enjoy the journey of Listening to Soulful Poems!

    Boy/Mother is a deeply moving exploration of a mother's relationship with her son who has a long-term mental illness. In innovative forms the poems evoke the day-to-day depredations of illness, psychiatric treatment and societal attitudes and yet the thread that runs through the collection is love. – Jane Clarke

    In 1958, geophysicist A. G. Lewis travelled to the Antarctic to investigate the landscapes and skies of that vast and icy continent.
    Now Elizabeth Lewis Williams traces her father's journeys, from the Peninsula to Mt Erebus. They are real, imagined, and artistic journeys, exploring communication across time and space, and experiments in scientific and poetic measure.
    Erebus transports us to an Antarctic of paradox. A land where perpetual daylight balances months of austral darkness. A land of encounters with the unknown, and with mortality – but where camaraderie and faith are the only defence against catastrophe.
    At its heart, Erebus is a visit to the frozen underworld, and an exploration of how we find a place for ourselves in this vast and often unforgiving world we call home.
