  Incorporating real-time happenings, "Bedeviled Nightingale" works to explain tragic times for even those people to whom we don't think it could happen. Brianna is an author, hunkered in her cabin for relaxation and work. She uses the cabin as her office and her home, away from the hustle from the city. 
  Divorced and focused, Brianna wants nothing to do but to take care of her world. She enjoys the nature around her and what it provides, until her ex-husband comes knocking down her door. Her Southern ways taught her many things, including ignoring people she doesn't want to be around or talk to. Nathaniel brings bad news from the lower country, cuing Brianna to pack and go with him to her father. 
  Family secrecy is one of many things found in this town. Brianna's family is no different. From the lack of communications to the destruction of other family members, this family was doomed from the start.  
  Desperation brings out the best in people, but not always in the best circumstances. Brianna and Nathaniel both find this out when Short Story Press and Ruth Pettite present "Bedeviled Nightingale". 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  Primordial - Poems

  Mai Der Vang

  • 0

  Mai Der Vang's poetry—lyrically insistent and visually compelling—constitutes a groundbreaking investigation into the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam, the lives of refugees afterward, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. Primordial is a crucial turn to the ecological and generational impact of violence, a powerful and rousing meditation on climate, origin, and fate. 
   
   
   
  With profound and attentive care, Vang addresses the plight of the saola, an extremely rare and critically endangered animal native to the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam. Remarkably, the saola has only been known to the outside world since 1992, and sightings are so rare that it has now been more than a decade since the last known image of one was captured in a camera trap photo in 2013. 
   
   
   
  Primordial examines the saola's relationship to Hmong refugee identity and cosmology and a shared sense of exile, precarity, privacy, and survival. Can a war-torn landscape and memory provide sanctuary, and what are the consequences for our climate, our origins, our ability to belong to a homeland? Written during a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, Vang's poems are urgent stays against extinction.

  The Poetry of Robert Frost -...

  Robert Frost

  Robert Lee Frost was born on the 26th March 1874 in San Francisco, California. 
  His father found providing for the family a constant challenge and he died, when Frost was 11, from tuberculosis and left an estate valued at only $8.  The family moved east to Lawrence, Massachusetts, and a better life with his grandfather. 
  After graduating from High School, and a few months at Dartmouth college, he returned home to take on a variety of menial jobs to help support his mother.  Their drudgery and poor money encouraged him to move in a different direction: a career as a poet. 
  He sold his first poem in 1894 for $15.  With this milestone he proposed to his high school sweetheart who declined as she was still studying at university.  The following year she graduated and they married.  A year later the first of their six children arrived.   
  After a stint at Harvard for two years he received the gift of a farm from his ailing grandfather.  Frost worked the farm and wrote unpublished poetry for several years before turning to a teaching position. 
  Upon the death of one of his children the grief-stricken family decided to quit everything and to live in England, moving across the Atlantic in 1912.  The following year he published his first poetry book and with it came critical acclaim.  He was now in his late thirties. 
  The onset of World War I saw Frost return to America with a glowing reputation, and here he launched himself into a career of writing, teaching and lecturing.  
  In 1924 he received the first of four Pulitzer Prizes, for his book ‘New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes’.  He received a second Pulitzer in 1931 for ‘Collected Poems’.  A third Pulitzer Prize was presented in 1937 for ‘A Further Range’.  His fourth Pulitzer was awarded in 1943 for ‘A Witness Tree’. 
  Frost was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 31 times. 
  During these years personal tragedy had enveloped him.  A daughter had died in her late 20s from the effects of her puerperal fever at childbirth, his wife had died of breast cancer, and a son had committed suicide.  
  Then, at the age of 86, he was asked to read his poem ‘The Gift Outright’ at President John F Kennedy’s inauguration on the 20th January, 1961.  
  Robert Frost died on the 29th January 1963 in Boston of complications arising from prostate surgery.  He was 88.

  MALAPROP Theatre is an award-winning collective of Irish theatremakers, who seek to challenge, delight and speak to the world we live in (even when imagining different ones). This volume brings together four of their bold, playful and genre-spanning plays, all premiered at the Dublin Fringe Festival between 2017 and 2023.
  In Everything Not Saved, ex-lovers argue about when they were happiest, police officers rewrite history, and Rasputin dances like no one's watching. Oh, and also the Queen is there.
  Before You Say Anything questions how everyone can be safe at the same time. A time-travelling set of interweaving stories exploring injustice, freedom and bravery.
  Where Sat the Lovers is about codes, hallucinations, Isaac Newton, war crimes, seeing meaning where there's none and vice versa. In an age of misinformation, how do you know if you know the right things?
  HOTHOUSEtackles climate breakdown with big ideas, a lot of laughs, and some truly grotesque cabaret numbers. Cruise ships, horny/murderous songbirds, fecund/fatalistic rabbits, loving/bruising parents and Minnie Riperton all make an appearance in this play with songs, which asks if things can ever get better.
  MALAPROP Theatre are Carys D. Coburn, John Gunning, Breffni Holahan, Molly O'Cathain, Maeve O'Mahony, Claire O'Reilly and Carla Rogers.
  'MALAPROP have quickly distinguished themselves as one of Ireland's most exciting emerging companies' Ruth McGowan, Director, Dublin Fringe Festival (2018-23)
  'A company of real ambition. One which is using theatrical form to grapple with the complexities of a world where the ground is constantly shifting beneath our feet and where what we believe can be recalibrated not just on a daily basis but minute by minute' Lyn Gardner, Stage Door
  'Reminiscent of early Caryl Churchill... this is thinking theatre at its best'Irish Independent
