Sinossi

"A Trip to Scarborough" ingeniously merges Richard Brinsley Sheridan's "The Critic" and "Sir John Vanbrugh's The Relapse." Set in Scarborough, this comedic fusion follows the comical adventures of theater and society. Amid mistaken identities and amorous entanglements, characters journey for leisure, inciting uproarious chaos. Skillfully satirizing theater and societal norms, the play-within-a-play format offers witty commentary on human foibles, blending farce with astute critique.

    In A Cemetery for Holes, poetic language bends and breaks, resists and reforms under the stress of family trauma. Consensual reality shifts with nonconsensual harm. It is this history of violence which is ultimately, confronted, fought against, and overcome. While engaged in this struggle, the poems also strive to rebuild, to console and to rediscover the world, its beauty, tenderness, humour, and joy.
