William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. He studied poetry in his youth and from an early age was fascinated by both Irish legends and the occult. One of his works, 'The wind among the reeds', published in 1899, by critics' opinion is the main achievement of his early works. Imagery of Yeats' poetry at this time is filled with characters of Celtic mythology and folklore. (ShiNeko, Wikipedia)Show book

'There was a fork in her face. An actual fork. He dug a fork into her face. A fork stood on end in her cheek. A fork.' The smallest tremble. A smashed glass. The ripping apart of space and time. Three couples. Thirty years. Mothers and daughters. Lovers, partners, husbands and wives. Babies, teenagers, birthdays, holidays, honeymoons, fireworks, near-misses, rain. This is a play about all of it. A devastating and delicately woven piece about violence, love and loss, Phoebe Eclair-Powell's Shed: Exploded View won the 2019 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting. Partly inspired by Cornelia Parker's stunning artwork Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View, it was first performed at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2024, directed by Atri Banerjee.Show book
“Reflections in Autumn – Collection of Poems: Windows into Small Worlds” is about places and people, wonders of nature, complexity of emotions, and scientific discoveries. Like parables, these poems inspire contemplation about life. They are grouped into four chapters: Travel, Memories with Family and Friends, On Walks, and Musings on Science. The author, George Chandy, is a retired physician-scientist whose research focused on potassium ion channels and their role in various diseases. He was repeatedly ranked among the most highly cited scientists in the world. “Reflections in Autumn” began as a memory exercise. Encouraged by family and friends this collection is his first endeavor to write in poetic form, “Evocative and reflective: marvelously capturing places, people, moods and emotions” (Meera Parkhe, Australia). “Beautiful rhymes and images coming together to bring events, people and memories to life.” (Ashok Roy, UK). “Personal, yet universal. Impressionist art, capturing moment and eternity. Memory-deep stories unraveled by the click of a camera. Poems about children and hope.” (Mani Chandy, USA). “His deep scientific background, historian, depth of inquiries into many areas of life has brought a rich profound touch to the poetry page. Readers will receive a gift of quiet moments, as well as engaging the mind into new horizons. His work is a treasure to add to one’s life.” (Patricia Truman, USA). “Poetic travelogue through life on people, places, emotions” (Isha Garg, India). “Picturesque poems captivating our senses, a riot of landscapes, exotic people, and historical events” (Suzy Thomas, India). In this 'Poetry For Pads' Initiative, the proceeds from the sale of this book will support the award-winning NGO, Days For Girls (https://www.daysforgirls.org/), that works to shatter stigma and limitations associated with menstruation to improve health, education, livelihoods and empowerment of women and girls in 145 countries on six continents.Show book
Continuing her search for a neotropical mythos, in this brilliant second collection poet fahima ife articulates various scenes of subduction. Spoken in quiet recognition and grounded in desire, Septet for the Luminous Ones imagines a lush soundscape textured in oblique spiritual fusion of the Taíno and Yoruba. Or, what it sounded like coming together for the first time, and what it sounds like ever after—breathless, diaspora calling. Similar to the incidents in Maroon Choreography, what resounds in these poems is an ecstatic love song of the Caribbean Americas, of the main lands and islands, shaped and reshaped as breathwork, ritual, communion, and fantasy. In essence, the collection speaks to raise the vibrational frequencies of all species on Earth through a sensual pulse of Black English.From Alchemical Sirensit flickers in balsamic appealmoist in the palms of our handsa psalm a lamp a sap in our lapsan aspplausible love song after love poemswere last put on holdas in b l a ck a r tthe new black art is this — find the lost soul and love itShow book
