Sinossi

In "Porphyria's Lover," Robert Browning masterfully explores themes of desire, power, and the psychological complexities of love through a dramatic monologue. The poem's striking imagery and intricate use of language capture the tension between the speaker and his lover, Porphyria, culminating in a chilling act of violence that reveals the darker aspects of human emotion. Set against the backdrop of Victorian society, Browning's work reflects contemporary debates around gender roles and social constraints, all while employing his signature style that fuses emotional intensity with a rich, lyrical quality. Robert Browning, a prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene, was known for his innovative approach to poetry and his exploration of duality in human experience. His own turbulent love life, particularly his relationship with Elizabeth Barrett Browning, likely influenced the themes of obsessive passion and destructive love present in "Porphyria's Lover." The poem contributes to Browning's broader oeuvre, which often delves into the darker sides of love and human connection, showcasing his fascination with psychological motivation. Readers seeking a profound exploration of love's complexities and the interplay of societal norms will find "Porphyria's Lover" both engaging and thought-provoking. Browning's skillful portrayal of the interplay between passion and madness invites readers to reflect on the nature of desire and the lengths to which individuals will go for love, making this poem an essential read for those interested in the darker nuances of romantic relationships.

    Footprints are a collection of poems that were either written or revised recently or recalled from work begun and lost fifty years before. Some recall pleasant memories of my beloved Veronica and some of her later struggles with ill health. She was born and grew up in Dublin and Ireland remained a special place for both of us. The DART from Howth to Greystones "tunnels under Queen V's crown and pops out for the view above Killiney Bay" where "the magic face of Ireland is found." We met and married in Syracuse. Events and places from that time are featured in some of the poems. Newtown Plus Five was written shortly after news coverage of the fifth anniversary of the Sandy Hook school massacre. An Elegy for One and Many commemorates the life of a friend of the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue rampage who died during the same period of time. Many of the poems are written in traditional verse forms and rhyme schemes. 
    A number of poems reflect concerns about America: the face it presents to the world and the state of its democracy. Ode from a Colonial Bowl recounts a family history of its founding. 
    Flint where "once-upon-a-time America coursed through (its) leaden arteries to nurse its middle class." In Vietnam "we've grown old, some fifty years removed from when our universe was rolled into a white-hot ball," to find the common threads we shared in youth to pursue our common legacy. American Graffiti asks, "Can Cicero and Caesar coexist within republican constraint?" 
    Let Freedom Ring calls upon us to answer "the distant bells of freedom pealing " in Ukraine. The challenge is to understand how both poems can be compatible in our logic.

    A wild rollercoaster ride through school, the Multiverse, and finding yourself, over and over and over again…
    It's the last day of school, and Amber bunks off to go partying with a raggle-taggle group of friends: the geeks, the queer kids, the school dropouts.
    But even in this group, it can be a struggle to fit in. Accidentally stumbling through a portal that launches them across the Multiverse, Amber embarks on a journey that will force them to question who they are and who they want to become. As they tumble through time and space, will they finally find somewhere they belong? 
    Lewis Hetherington's play The Multiverse is Gay! was first performed at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in a production by the Lyceum Young Company.
