Synopsis

On March 20, 2020, Rachel Devenish Ford started writing a poem a day, and she continued with this practice for an entire year. Her poetry is a gentle response to each day, like an answer in a conversation. Each one is a small, contained thing, translating world events, family events, or insect life into something a little easier to see, to love.The poems are loose, dreamy, and tidal. Read sequentially, they give a picture of one woman’s life during a global pandemic. They read like a landscape, rising and falling in words and tone, like the ocean, like music. They are welcoming and expansive, a meal you have been invited to eat.Devenish Ford's poetry has themes of womanhood, life in her home in Thailand, prayers and spirituality, world events and racial justice, motherhood, and a strong love of beauty like a thread that moves through her words. These poems will be familiar because of their humanity, and their welcome feels like home.

I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander-pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. 
One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. 
Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety. 
In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. 
In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times and discovered humor even among the hippopotami! 
You can, too. 
Peace & flowers. Love & light. 
Vincent J. Tomeo, Author/Poet

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
The great city of London is perhaps unrivalled in its scale and effect on humankind down the centuries.  Its sprawl and its teeming throngs have shaped the world and even how we live today.  Within these 10 Women poets, who called this gloried city home, came poems that sought to define and explain just why that is.

Full Woman, Fleshly Apple, Hot Moon offers fresh interpretations of the most widely read and loved poet of the 20th century— translated and read by a master of poetic expressiveness. Out of the great profusion of Neruda's poetry, Stephen Mitchell has selected forty-nine poems and brought them to life for a new generation of listeners. These are poems of a happy man, deeply fulfilled in his sexuality, at home in the world, in love with life and its infinite particular forms, and overflowing with the joy of language. These large-hearted, generous poems resonant with a humor that is rare in poetry.

A chance encounter at an AA meeting and they're drawn to one another. Then later, once they're drinking again, they both have this almost-feeling that they might have met before – could even have been together, sometime in the past... They should really get sober together and figure it all out: that would be a worthwhile project. Maybe they will. Just after one last drink...
A compassionate and unflinching study of love, addiction and memory, Joe White's play Blackout Songs was first performed at Hampstead Theatre, London, in November 2022, directed by Guy Jones.
