Summary

Holy Transmemberings by Maria Constanti is an evocative and mythopoetic journey through poetry, exploring themes of transformation, ancestry, memory, and the sacred. Rooted in feminist literature, mythology, and mysticism, the collection weaves together the corporeal and the metaphysical, mapping a landscape where the body, language, and nature are in constant metamorphosis. Through dreamscapes, surrealist imagery, and ritualistic storytelling, Constanti reclaims the female voice, delving into mythology, grief, and rebirth with haunting lyricism.
 
This work is deeply attuned to the spiritual and the liminal, drawing from symbolism, nature, and folklore to create a poetic cartography of identity. The verses traverse the thresholds between past and present, the personal and the collective, exile and homecoming, offering a meditation on death, rebirth, and the mystical forces shaping existence. With rich, oceanic language and a mythologicalconsciousness, Holy Transmemberings speaks to readers who seek poetry that is both philosophically profound and emotionally visceral.

    This was the weekly poetry project for 3 June 2006. Many “character” poems cut straight to the inmost psychology of their subjects, but here, the eponymous Richard Cory with all his wealth and charm is viewed entirely from the outside. Indeed as the poem ends, we realise with an unforgettable shock just how little we, the narrator, or perhaps anyone really knew about him. (Summary by LauraFox)

    This book will be different, but unique. 
For my poetry is real and somewhat sheik. 
They’re all short stories about my past. 
Family, loved ones, and dreams that couldn’t last. 
  
Freedom of speech {so called} I am blunt. 
I can write about anything and everything I want. 
Fighting for life, children, and my rights has been a hassle. 
Throughout my life it’s been a long battle. 
  
Reading these poems are pieces of me. 
Funny, sad, about love, and eternity. 
Opening to others is new for me as well. 
Hopefully, guide, or give you relief, time will tell. 
  
Thank you to those who gave me the chance. 
Thanks to my Family and Kids for the influence. 
Thanks to my Husband for dealing with my crap. 
Thanks to God for getting me out of those traps.

    King Leir is an anonymous Elizabethan play about the life of the ancient Celtic king Leir of Britain. It was published in 1605 but was entered into the Stationers' Register on 15 May 1594. The play has attracted critical attention principally for its relationship with King Lear, Shakespeare's version of the same story.

    John Clare was born on 13th July, 1793 in Helpston, a few miles north of Peterborough. 
Schooled only until the age of 12 his early career was that of agricultural labourer, pot boy, gardener and lime burner.  His early life of hardship and frequent malnutrition led to his diminutive stature of five feet and contributed to his later health problems. 
In 1820 his first poems were published and began to earn him a reputation as the “Northamptonshire Peasant Poet”. 
His poetry sold well but only occasionally did that and other incomes keep his head above water.  Married with seven children the burden was huge and demanding.  Frequently penniless his health began to dissolve. 
He last published in 1835 and by 1837 with his drinking out of control and his mental state shredded he entered a mental institution.  He was to reside in such unhappy places until his death. 
He died aged 71 on 20th May 1864. His remains were returned to Helpston for burial in St Botolph’s churchyard. 
Today he is considered one of the greatest of English poets.  His lyrical works on nature and the countryside earn him this just praise.
