Sinossi

In "Poetry," Oscar Wilde showcases a masterful blend of aestheticism and profound introspection, encapsulating his belief in the beauty of form and the depths of human emotion. The collection traverses themes of love, longing, nature, and the poignant duality of joy and sorrow, all articulated through Wilde's lush, rhythmic verse. His artistic style mirrors the late 19th-century literary movement known for its emphasis on elegance, wit, and the pursuit of beauty, positioning Wilde as a luminary of his time, whose works continue to resonate with readers drawn to lyrical craftsmanship and insightful reflection. Oscar Wilde, a quintessential figure of the fin-de-siècle period, embodied the spirit of artistic rebellion and intellectual exploration. His experiences with societal norms, personal struggles, and aesthetic beliefs profoundly influenced his writing, allowing him to weave intricate narratives that reveal the complexities of human experience. His own life, marked by both brilliance and tragedy, imparts a unique depth to his poetry, inviting readers to reflect on the paradoxes of existence and the quest for aesthetic truth. This anthology is highly recommended for scholars and casual readers alike, offering an exquisite entry into Wilde's poetic genius. Those seeking to explore the marriage of beauty and existential inquiry will find themselves enchanted by the vivid imagery and emotional honesty that characterize Wilde's work. "Poetry" is a timeless exploration of the human condition, a must-read for anyone who appreciates the art of language.

    Alfian Sa’at’s The Asian Boys Trilogy is a fascinating, insightful tour through the lives and loves of the gay community in Singapore. In the campy and carnivalesque Dreamplay, history is turned upside-down as a goddess travels through time to ‘save gay men from themselves’. In Landmarks, geography takes centrestage, as eight short plays explore the spaces that have been claimed, colonised, and trespassed by those at the margins of the mainstream. In Happy Endings, the playwright’s adaptation of the novel Peculiar Chris evolves into a meditation on the relationship between life and literature. With clear-eyed compassion and eloquent outrage, this collection of plays charts the coming-of-age of a community finding its voice.

    “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, 
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, 
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, 
    As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 
    "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door - 
    Only this, and nothing more." 
     
    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, 
    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. 
    Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had tried to borrow 
    From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - 
    For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore, 
    Nameless here for evermore.” 
     
    These are the first two verses of ‘The Raven’, a poem full of dark and disturbing images, rife with tension, fear, paranoia, terror and a yearning for a lost love that has returned to this earth as a ghost. As a poem ‘The Raven’ is without doubt more famous and widely known than the troubled author who penned it. His name was Edgar Allan Poe, and his work was directly responsible for shaping the modern horror industry as we know it. He was the Godfather of Gore, the Father of Fear, the Master of the Macabre, and the Guardian of the Gruesome. Poe was also one of the best mystery writers of all time, however the most fascinating puzzle he left us was that of his own life, and in this journal, we will follow in the great man’s footsteps to turn detective. 
     
    Edgar Allan Poe was born early in the 19th Century, yet still his legacy lives on. Throughout this celebration of his life and work, you’ll also get the opportunity to read extracts from his poetry and prose, some of which will be very familiar but just as terrifying all the same!
