  The Poetry of Edna St Vincent...

  Elinor Morton Hoyt was born on 7th September, 1885 in Somerville, New Jersey and from age 12 grew up in Washington D C where her father served as assistant attorney general and later solicitor general.  Her early education together with her renowned beauty suggests she was being trained for life as a debutante but her life quickly found another route as she became absorbed in the world of books. 
   
  An early marriage following her graduation ended when, after being pursued by Horace Wylie, 17 years her senior and a married Washington lawyer with three children, she eloped to England with him.  His wife would not divorce him and the subsequent scandal was widely publicised further fueled by the suicide in 1912 of her abandoned husband. 
   
  With Wylie's encouragement she published in 1912, ‘Incidental Number’, assembled from poems of the previous decade. 
   
  Despite a child from her first marriage Elinor subsequently endured miscarriages, a stillbirth and a premature child who lived for only one week.  When Wylie’s deserted wife agreed to a divorce, the couple returned to the United States and married but they were already drawing apart. 
   
  In 1921, Elinor’s ‘Nets to Catch the Wind’, was published. It was an immediate success and a prize-winner.  In New York’s literary circles she found her next husband who acted as her agent – the poer William Rose Benét, brother of the famed Stephen. They married in 1923 and that same year ‘Black Armor’, was published. The New York Times said "There is not a misplaced word or cadence in it."  She also published her first of four novels, ‘Jennifer Lom’, to excellent reviews. 
   
  She worked for a time as the poetry editor of Vanity Fair, an editor of Literary Guild, and a contributing editor of The New Republic.  Her third book of poetry, ‘Trivial Breath’ arrived in 1928 as did the failure of her marriage with Benét.  
   
  She moved again to England and fell in love with a friend’s husband, to whom she wrote, and later published a series of 19 sonnets; ‘Angels and Earthly Creatures’. 
   
  Elinor Wylie suffered high blood pressure all her adult life and this eventually led to her death at Benet’s New York apartment on 16th December, 1928 where she suffered a stroke. She was 43.

  After the Fall: Dirges Among Ruins

  Eric Tinsay Valles

  This collection explores the creative space of poetry as a means to unravel feelings evoked by the violence of war or by everyday traumatic events. One may come to terms with uncomfortable, including unspeakable, feelings by describing them with imagery from nature and one’s immediate environment. By participating in grieving, the self can better face any lingering effects of trauma. In this creative space, dramatic speakers retell stories and give vent to contradictory feelings through silences and free play. Their accounts attest to the dappled beauty of the human condition even if the full nature, scope and effects of traumatic memories are always beyond their grasp.

  Over a decade, Fishamble commissioned and called for submissions of tiny plays that reflected major changes in Irish society from 2011-2021. Inviting playwrights to submit plays of less than 600 words, the company produced 50 tiny plays in Tiny Plays for Ireland, 10 tiny plays in Tiny Plays 24/7, and 10 tiny plays in partnership with ESB in Tiny Plays for a Brighter Future.
  These productions of tiny plays created a patchwork quilt of theatre to reflect the times through which we were living.  They were performed in Project Arts Centre Dublin, Irish Arts Center New York, and Kennedy Center Washington DC, as well as shared online.  This anthology publishes all 70 tiny plays, providing an invaluable resource of four-minute plays for actors, directors, students, and teachers.

  The Way Old Friends Do

  Ian Hallard

  In 1988, two Birmingham school friends tentatively come out to one another: Edward as gay; Peter, even more daringly, as an ABBA fan.
  Nearly thirty years later, they meet again – and take a chance by forming the world's first ABBA tribute band in drag. It's a riot of platform boots and dodgy beards, 'Waterloos' and 'Chiquititas', and they couldn't escape if they wanted to. But can Edward and Peter's friendship survive the tribulations of a life on the road?
  Ian Hallard's The Way Old Friends Do is a tender, laugh-out-loud comedy about devotion, desire and dancing queens. It premiered at Birmingham Rep in 2023, directed by Mark Gatiss, before touring the UK, including a run at Park Theatre, London.
  The play offers every theatre company and drama group all the ingredients to give their audience the time of its life.
