  Modern Man ~ Neanderthal with Manners 
  Poem about the comparison of what it is to be a Modern man today. What it may have been yesterday, and what it 
  was to compare it to our relatively recent ancestors from just a hundred thousand years or so 
  - The Neanderthals. 
  Would they have been as cruel to their fellow beings as possibly we are today. What does it mean to be classified as 
  MODERN ! A modern Human ?

  Hernani

  Victor Hugo

  Hernani is Victor Hugo's electrifying romantic drama—a bold and revolutionary play that transformed the French theatrical world and ignited one of the most famous literary battles in history. First performed in 1830, this passionate tale of love, honor, and defiance challenged the rigid conventions of classical drama and announced the triumphant arrival of Romanticism on the French stage.
  
  Set in 16th-century Spain, Hernani tells the story of a noble outlaw driven by love and vengeance. Hernani, a mysterious and charismatic rebel, is consumed by his devotion to the beautiful Doña Sol. Yet he is not alone in his desire for her hand. Don Carlos, the ambitious King of Spain (and future Holy Roman Emperor), and Don Ruy Gomez de Silva, her aging but powerful guardian, are equally determined to possess her. What unfolds is a fierce struggle shaped by political ambition, personal pride, and the unbreakable codes of honor that govern their world.
  
  At its heart, Hernani is a story of romantic idealism colliding with the harsh realities of power and duty. Hugo crafts characters who are larger than life—men ruled by passion, pride, and destiny. The play pulses with emotional intensity, secret meetings, daring escapes, and dramatic confrontations. Love is portrayed not as gentle or safe, but as a force capable of inspiring heroism and tragedy alike.
  
  Beyond its gripping narrative, Hernani stands as a milestone in literary history. Its premiere sparked the legendary "Battle of Hernani," as supporters of Romanticism clashed with defenders of classical tradition. Hugo broke away from strict theatrical rules, blending poetic language with historical drama and giving voice to raw emotion and individual freedom. The result was a work that reshaped modern theater and influenced generations of writers.
  
  Themes of loyalty, sacrifice, destiny, and rebellion run throughout the play. The tension between personal desire and social obligation creates a powerful emotional undercurrent, leading to a conclusion both dramatic and unforgettable. Hugo's language soars with lyrical beauty, while his characters grapple with the timeless conflicts between love and honor, freedom and authority.
  
  Hernani is more than a romantic tragedy—it is a declaration of artistic independence and a celebration of passion unrestrained by convention. For readers and theater lovers alike, this masterpiece offers a vivid journey into a world where hearts rule over reason and where destiny is sealed by courage and sacrifice.

  'If a young woman made you smile, you wouldnae want to see her set on fire, would you?'
  Katherine Hamilton is a nineteen-year-old woman facing arrest and trial in the King's court, with only her quick wit as defence against execution.
  James V: Katherine is a dramatic interpretation of key events during a turbulent time in Scotland's history, events that changed the nation forever. It is also a play filled with hidden histories, deft comedy and a secret love story between two young women.
  Rona Munro's renowned James Plays are a breathtaking series of plays set during the reigns of Scotland's generations of Stewart kings. Each play stands alone as a thrilling depiction of a moment in Scottish history, full of playful wit and boisterous theatricality; taken together, the cycle is a uniquely compelling narrative of a nation tussling with its past and future.
  James V: Katherine was first staged at Capital Theatres' The Studio, in April 2024, directed by Orla O'Loughlin, before embarking on a Scottish tour. It was a co-production between Raw Material and Capital Theatres, who previously produced James IV: Queen of the Fight.
  Rona Munro is a writer who has written extensively for stage, radio, film and television. Earlier works in the James Plays cycle (I–III) have been performed at the National Theatre in London, across the UK and internationally, and have won Evening Standard and Writers' Guild of Great Britain Awards.

  Keeping Count

  Keeping Count, M. Travis Lane’s 18th collection of poetry, begins in the poet’s favourite terrain: short, condensed lyric that focuses on the natural world. “But pull a thread: music turns” Lane writes, and the book progressively defamiliarizes the reader, moving from ecopoetry to a longer poetry of interiority in the second section, concluding with a final section that focuses on issues of mortality. As George Elliott Clarke has written so aptly, “If you have not read Lane before, prepare to travel: Like T.S. Eliot, she wants you to have a transporting experience in your imagination. If you have read Lane before, prepare for fresh astonishment. She is Homeric breadth and Sapphic brevity."

  This book is a T4T love letter to the living cosmos, to Jewish mystics who get a little slutty with it, to anarchists who make their every day-to-day choice as if the healed world is already here, to people whose gender identities are just on the verge of disintegrating. You are hereby invited to use this book as a sacred text, which is to say, to use this book as a sex toy, which is to say, to use this book as your incense, your needle, your wedge, your weapon in the waging of spiritual warfare against Control.
