Sinopse

"Glory in the Margins is a gift and a challenge:

a collection that could be well-worn by pastors and prisoners,

could be healing in both a hospital room or busy auditorium,

and could offer inspiration in both the quiet of personal devotion or a bustling sanctuary."

—Dana VanderLugt, Reformed Journal
New York Times bestselling author and poet Nikki Grimes explains, "A study of scripture reveals that Jesus spent a lot of time with people in the margins. As an African American, I live in the margins, and I can tell you that it's a place most of us would rather not be. And yet, I know there is always glory to be found in the margins because of the Lord's presence in, and with us."

"As Poet Laureate of my Grace Brethren Church in Southern California, it's my job to distill the heart of the weekly sermon into a poem. I dive into each week's chosen scripture, viewing it from my own perspective as Black, as woman, as poet, always a little left of center, and looking for the glory to be found in the margins of life, and of the text. Of course, those of us who live in the margins are not what anyone expects, and the very notion that God might speak through us, through me, may seem a bit wild. But he does. 'I will pour out my spirit on all flesh,' said the Lord. God's busy in the hearts of all who call on him."
Glory in the Margins is published under Paraclete Press's Iron Pen imprint. In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.

    Frantic Assembly's electrifying take on Shakespeare's tragedy of paranoia, sex and murder, firmly rooted in a volatile twenty-first century.
    In a world of broken glass and shattered promises, of poisonous manipulation and explosive violence, Othello's passionate affair with Desdemona becomes the catalyst for jealousy, betrayal, revenge and the darkest intents.
    As relevant today as it ever was, Othello exposes the tension, fear and paranoia buried beneath the veneer of our relationships and how easily that can be maliciously exploited.
    Frantic Assembly's touring production was first performed in 2008, with revivals in 2014 and 2022. This edition of Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett's muscular, radically adapted text also features articles and interviews about the production and Frantic Assembly's revolutionary work.

    Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
     
    Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
     
    In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
     
    England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
     
    In this volume we explore the poets of Oxford.  A small city, with its famed university, with an enviable historical grandeur and roll-call of poets who dazzle, humble and inspire us all in ways that only a poet can.  Our poets include A E Housman, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Michael Drayton, Percy Bysshe Shelley and a host of other timeless greats.

    In New York City's Washington Square Park,  
    An old familiar war is being waged between those in power,  
    and those who refuse to conform. 
      
    Blue Jay Walker has been a street busker all his life. Traveling across countries he earns his keep by writing poems for passers-by on his worn typewriter. 
      
    In the summer of 2023 when he arrived at one of his favourite haunts for hawking poems, he was dismayed to discover the authorities had banned all artists from making their living in the park. 
      
    However the artists were not giving up their home without a fight. Inspired by their tenacity, Walker joined the fray. Sticking a proverbial flag in the ground at the center of the park he began writing what would quickly become The Longest Physical Poem Of The 21st Century. 
      
    The 240 foot scroll is a distillation of all the wandering truth he has gained along his travels, twisted through the spiraling narrative of the Vagrants and Bards who have taught him not only how to make art, but how to see the world in a different light.

Unable to avoid their tyranny, Herron is left to make a choice: Will he allow the persecuted to continue to be oppressed? Or will he risk everything, to do for others what they can not do for themselves?
