Sinossi

In 'A Tree with a Bird in it,' Margaret Widdemer crafts a poetic symposium that harnesses the traditional and modernist veins pulsing through early 20th-century American poetry. This contemplative piece operates under the pretense of a simple observation—a pear tree housing a grackle—evoking deeper explorations of nature, existence, and the resonance of everyday moments through profound lyricism. Widdemer's work shines against the wider literary backdrop of her contemporaries, establishing its own niche within the period's introspective and imagistic tendencies. The book's revival by DigiCat Publishing not only restores the text to its authentic form but also reintroduces its literary significance to a new audience in various contemporary formats.

Margaret Widdemer was a pivotal voice of her time, skillfully intertwining the personal with the universal in her poetry. Her background as a suffragist and a keen observer of women's lives in post-Edwardian America uniquely positioned her to pen 'A Tree with a Bird in it.' Widdemer's sensibilities reflected the transitional era she occupied, and this work encapsulates the nuanced perspectives of a woman articulating the complexities of the shifting world around her.

Recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of early American modernist poetry, 'A Tree with a Bird in it' offers a window into the soul of an era. Readers will appreciate the timeless themes and Widdemer's eloquent portrayal of a seemingly mundane moment cast into poetic eternity. This meticulous reissue invites engagement with Widdemer's preserved voice, an essential component of the tapestry that is American literature. For those attuned to the historical context of its creation, the work provides a rich, immersive dive into the subtleties of life and the enduring power of observation.

    Henry VIII's court is a stage for love and treachery, where the weapons of choice are sex, marriage – and the executioner's axe. As Henry's mistress, Mary Boleyn is a pawn in her family's lust for power. Queen Katherine of Aragon hasn't produced a male heir, and Mary's ruthless uncle scents the chance of putting his niece on the throne.
    But Henry's wandering eye has fallen on another: Mary's headstrong sister, Anne, whose ambition not only threatens to destroy her bond with Mary, but shakes the foundations of Church and State.
    Based on Philippa Gregory's internationally bestselling novel, The Other Boleyn Girl is a brilliant evocation of intrigue at the Tudor court – a racy and riveting drama of events that changed the course of English history. This stage adaptation by Mike Poulton was premiered at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2024, directed by Lucy Bailey.

    Quietly reflective, the beautifully written poems in this slim volume offer a welcome respite from the noisy insistence of modern life. The language, now simple and direct, now rich in associations, double-meanings, and imagery, has its own natural rhythm and appeal regardless of subject and rhyme. Intriguing, absorbing, thought-provoking, the poems are innovative and fresh and the intensity of the verses in places will undoubtedly strike a chord with readers of all kinds - both established readers of poetry, those who read poetry now and again, and those 
    turning to poetry for the first time. Largely relating one person's take on how it is to be in the world, the poems address such aspects of life as time, being, loss, culture, and contingency. The collection is divided into three sections - non-rhyming poems, rhyming poems, and a 
    concluding section of lighter, more humorous verses, with each of two additional poems serving as foreword and afterword.

    Over two hundred years ago, Olaudah Equiano changed the world. After reading reports of the British ship Zong, where 132 enslaved Africans were thrown overboard, he joins forces with anti-slavery campaigner Granville Sharp and together they set in motion events which will go on to galvanise the abolition movement.
    But Olaudah's impassioned fight for justice goes beyond the courtroom. Having bought his own freedom, he now faces a personal battle to rediscover his past and accept his true self.
    Weaving together the many lives affected by these events across the globe, The Meaning of Zong is both a depiction of a shameful true story from British history, and a timely response to the social upheaval the world has witnessed in recent years – celebrating the power of individual action to drive huge societal change.
    Giles Terera's debut play was commissioned by Bristol Old Vic and the National Theatre, and first performed on stage at Bristol Old Vic in April 2022, co-directed by Tom Morris and Terera, after an acclaimed production on BBC Radio 3.

    ‘Bracing’ is a full collection of poems, mostly about contemporary life, experienced richly, intensely, unsentimentally and with humour. The writing is humane and accessible, wearing its intelligence lightly. There is something for everyone in ‘Bracing’, even for those who were put off poetry at school. This is a mature, well-rounded piece of work. The subject matter ranges across modern life and beyond - childhood, parenthood, love, lust, loss, shopping, animals (and our connection to them), climate change, the complexities of the human heart and of relationships, spirituality, food, suffragettes, the status of women, homesickness, grief, illness, ageing, dementia, fear, the joy in small things. All the poems are underpinned by a keen eye, a sharp wit and a total absence of self-pity. Simone is a safe pair of hands, writing in an unshowy style, a poet who manages to be heartfelt, humorous and accomplished.
