  Love. What is love? 
   
  The question is asked by each of us but the answer remains elusive. 
   
  Dictionaries summon up many words but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of Love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; its ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. 
   
  Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another. 
   
  Love is perhaps best expressed through poetry. As Plato said 2500 years ago “At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet”. Writing a love poem for ones’ partner is seen as the most romantic of gestures. It opens our hearts to another's. Lovers love. 
   
  Here, in this volume history’s greatest poets convey thoughts, feelings and sentiments of love to you in quick (or bite-size) conversations of verse that can slip into your day and your partner's heart.

  Sonny is twelve. Living with a stammer, he is finding his way in a world ruled by vicious vowels, confusing consonants, and the biggest beast of all – small talk. His only escape is with a comic-book hero of his own creation, who helps Sonny soar above his reality.
  But when he's cast by the headteacher in the school production of Hamlet, he soon discovers that language is power – and the real heroes are closer than he thinks.
  Wonder Boy, Ross Willis's play about the power of finding your own voice, premiered at Bristol Old Vic in March 2022, directed by Sally Cookson.

  John Keats - A Tribute in Verse

  Percy Bysshe Shelley, Sara...

  Keats.  The name is synonymous with great romantic poetry and great romantic poets.  A short life but a legacy of works that few, if any, can rival. 
  And of course his end was to be tragically romantic.  Keats was returning one night to his home in Hampstead when he coughed.  He coughed a single drop of blue blood upon his hand and said ‘I know the colour of that blood, it is arterial blood, it is my death warrant, I must die’. 
  And so it was that tuberculosis took its slow, devastating hold.  He moved to Rome hoping the warmer climate would help but died, at age 25, in the Eternal City in 1821. 
  His death robbed the world of its young and beautifully talented wordsmith.  Such was the esteem among his fellow poets that so many wrote of the joy of his works and the grief of his death. 
  This is their tribute.

  Poems by Paul Verlaine

  Alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, with whom he had a stormy relationship, Paul Verlaine is one of the most influential poets of the fin de siècle. He was one of the greatest representatives of the Decadent movement that began in the 1870s, and a leader of the Symbolists. His stylistic innovations brought a new musicality to French poetry; it was he who paved the way for modern poetry with its experiments in free verse and new techniques. Verlaine produced exquisitely crafted verse, conveying the strongest emotions and appetites. This translation by Gertrude Hall, herself a recognized poet, is one of the best rendering of Verlaine's work in English language.

  '[Mike Bartlett] is one of the prime movers in a new golden generation of British playwrights' Independent

  'Laugh-out-loud funny... the mashup of Restoration cadences and modern argot is spot on' - Evening Standard
  'Extremely funny... Bartlett's writing is always clever and lively, and he hits his targets' - WhatsOnStage
