Lady Dealer (NHB Modern Plays)

Martha Watson Allpress

Synopsis

For Charly, every day is the same. Things used to be different, when there was Clo, but now there isn't Clo, and Charly doesn't want to dwell on that. She just wants to chug coffee, blast Beastie Boys and deal drugs. Simple.
But when Charly suffers a power cut, she's forced back into the real world of knock-off Morrisseys, disapproving mothers and, ultimately, a world she has to navigate alone.
Lady Dealer is a mile-a-minute, one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress about forgiveness, the exhaustion of trying, and mistaking self-destruction for self-preservation.
It premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Disponible depuis: 10/08/2023.

It's time to awaken 
The starseeds in bloom 
To discover the truth 
They will be home soon 
To uncover the wisdom 
In the galactic skies 
To peer through the chaos 
And all the lies 
That keep humanity 
Stuck in delusion 
Wandering through 
All the confusion 
About who they are 
And the nature of the soul 
Dividing themselves 
From what it means to be whole 
We have come 
To share the grace 
To activate humanity 
As a Galactic Star Race 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by all the star brothers and sisters working to elevate the consciousness of the planet. 
If you’re a starseed going through a massive spiritual awakening, allow Starseed Awaken The World to help you step into your purpose and power, to awaken yourself and others!

The Epic Poems

William Shakespeare

Before the Stage, There Was the Page: Discover Shakespeare the Poet.

While the world knows William Shakespeare for his legendary plays, it was his sweeping narrative poems that first established him as a literary titan in the eyes of the Elizabethan elite. This collection brings together his longer, epic-style works—masterpieces of desire, betrayal, and political ruin that showcase a level of linguistic ornament and psychological intensity rarely seen on the stage.

This collection explores the pillars of Shakespeare's poetic genius:

The Master of Classical Adaptation: Witness the Bard reimagining the myths of ancient Rome and Greece, breathing fresh, visceral life into tales of tragic desire and legendary honor.

The Psychology of the Verse: Experience the internal monologues of characters caught in moments of extreme crisis, rendered with the same complexity found in his greatest dramatic soliloquies.

Formal Perfection: Explore his command of demanding poetic structures, from the flowing "Sesta Rima" to the stately "Rhyme Royal," demonstrating a technical virtuosity that defined the English Renaissance.

Themes of Power and Virtue: Delve into narratives that examine the corruption of authority and the resilience of the human spirit, serving as a poetic mirror to the political tensions of his time.

Shakespeare's epic poems offer a richer, more descriptive immersion into his world than his scripts alone. They are essential for anyone seeking the full breadth of his literary legacy and linguistic beauty.

Experience the Bard's most intimate and ornate creations. Buy "The Epic Poems of William Shakespeare" today and complete your library of the world's greatest writer.

Journey to the Morning Light -...

Catherine de Vinck

A posthumous collection of poems on the beauty of the seasons, creation, life and death, from beloved poet Catherine de Vinck.

In the words of the Foreword by Mary Evelyn Tucker, the poetry of Catherine de Vinck, "calls us to ever greater awareness of who we are and where we dwell. She offers us glimpses of truth, not answers to our questions. She lights the path, sometimes with the brilliance of a single image. More often she surrounds us with the atmosphere of dusk—the twilight arising in our consciousness where mood and memory mingle."

Father Myself

James McDermott

In 2022, James McDermott lost his sixty-year-old father to COVID after three weeks in intensive care. In* Father Myself*, his second collection from Nine Arches Press, McDermott explores his father's complex illness and death; grief; growth and how as a queer boy then a bereaved son, he had to learn to father himself.
In clear-sighted and often hard-hitting poems, McDermott takes the reader onto the frontline of the pandemic – documenting the experience and trauma of a COVID-bereaved family with an unflinching eye. Both powerful and compassionate, these extraordinary poems have the capacity to go beyond simply a record of events, reaching sensitively for the human details that matter – the beat of a heart and movement of breath, the touch of a hand, the words we use for goodbye.
