Sinopse

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.
Disponível desde: 10/08/2023.
Comprimento de impressão: 64 páginas.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore the poets and the poetry of the Elizabethan Age.  Long revered and admired this verse illuminated both this gilded age and the talents in the centuries that followed.

    Biagio Martini is a successful lawyer. But he fears thunderstorms, and the memory of what happened in the old house by the river, when he was a child, corrodes his soul. Agata Rubino, on the other hand, is a fearless and courageous woman. She fears nothing as she hunts down the one who destroyed her life. Biagio and Agata do not know each other, they have never met; they do not know that their destinies are about to intertwine in an inexorable way.

    Gather it from memory. Let it touch the earth. 
     
     
     
    In Touch the Earth, Drew Jackson continues the project he began in God Speaks Through Wombs, reflecting on the Gospel of Luke through poetry. Touch the Earth picks up in chapter nine and continues through the end of Luke's Gospel. Part protest poetry, part biblical commentary, Jackson presents the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the "fresh words / that speak of / things impossible." 
     
     
     
    From the feeding of the multitude ("The best hosts always provide / take home containers”) to the resurrection of Jesus ("the belly of mother Earth / is, indeed, a womb . . . the humus of life is where we become fully human"), this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance—against all hope—that's been in the gospel all along.

    What is Dynamo? It is the first full-length collection by an extraordinarily entertaining and exhilarating poet. Over the course of this book, things break down, start again, light up, get stuck. Relationships stagnate, mountains and seas diminish, White nationalists fall over in Blackpool, and a wealthy couple's house disappears one day, leaving them surrounded by their appliances, tanned and eating an egg.
    I'm always listening out for a new poet who can take the deceptively effortless, witty yet ultimately serious chops of the New York School, make it work for this generation and bring the whole thing in to land just outside a British city, losing nothing in transit. And God it's been worth the wait. This is a poetry of exquisite timing, with some of the most satisfying last lines I've ever read. Yates can take an everyday domestic detail and make it sparkle with the mystery of a Raedecker painting. – Luke Kennard

She was not told what it was.In the end, she was able to see how her seemingly insignificant decisions were beautifully revealed as the hidden source of light that profoundly influenced the lives of countless people who crossed her path. It was this source of light that she had been unaware of for so long.Until her very own unthinkable journey into the hidden realm.

    The breathing sound of birth pangs. 
    This collection is the author's first collection of poems and is being republished after 30 years. It consists of 30 poems divided into the following five parts:Plum Flower, a Thousand Year of LoveThe Sun's Mistress, WolgyeAh! Late Autumn, Flaming SunsetMy Love, Sunae,Bo ( Pure Love, Story)The Reason Yew Trees have survived for 2,000 yearsAuthor said the feeling of republishing of this collection after 30 years, is not only strange , but even magical. Well then he is reborn, let's do some cuddles. What is poetry? He asked this question 30years ago too. Like finding an answer to aquestion that everyone can ask but no one can still on the line of verbal barbarism,as much as the atar in the night sky scattered. He ask poetry again. He said that although he may not be phonex whose wings flutter across the light, he may not a phoenex who eats bamboo shoots and does not anything other than the precious paulownia tree but like a skylark singing in the spring, like a cicada enjoying the summer, like a wildflower blooming in abundance in the field in the fall, even if it's an old tree full of snow flakes in winter , It's good. So he hope to do this best to write healthy articles that comfort and support everyone and himself.
