Beschreibung

In "Poetry," Robert Louis Stevenson showcases his remarkable versatility as a poet, weaving together themes of childhood, nature, and the complexities of human emotion. The collection is characterized by its lyrical quality, rich imagery, and deft use of rhythm, demonstrating Stevenson's ability to evoke profound feelings with simplicity and grace. Contextually, this work emerges from the late 19th-century literary movement that celebrated the beauty of the everyday, aligning Stevenson's poetic vision with contemporaries who sought to explore the inner lives of individuals amidst a rapidly changing world. Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, is best known for his masterpieces such as "Treasure Island" and "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde." His diverse literary career and personal experiences, including his own struggles with illness and a lifelong fascination with adventure, inform the emotional depth and wit present in his poetry. Stevenson's ability to blend autobiographical elements with universal themes reflects his unique voice within the literary canon. "Poetry" is a compelling invitation for readers to immerse themselves in the beauty of language and the intricacies of life, making it a must-read for those who appreciate the nuances of human experience. Stevenson's work resonates with both nostalgia and insight, catering to lovers of poetry and literature alike.

Together they negotiate integrity in a lawless world. The Supine Cobbler is an unsentimental legend and a true story. It is a hero myth for girls.

    – Vue Weekly
      
       
    ‘The Supine Cobbler is brilliant, subversive and deeply hilarious. The play is about an abortion – but also: waiting, haunting, cheating, hurting, daring and the private cultivation of one’s humanity. It is singular and surprising and epic and lean as Bowie. You cannot help but talk about this play. It is the work of a lover and a rebel. To miss it, would be to miss a master in her early bloom.’
      
       
    – Claudia Dey, author of Trout Stanley and Stunt
      
       
    ‘I love this absolutely idiosyncratic play. It’s very funny, moving and sharp, and the only work of art about abortion I can think of that doesn’t sentimentalize or simplify the experience, but gets the strangeness and banality of it exactly right.’
      
       
    – Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?

    The poems of this book were written at very various times, one (“Wind over the Sea”) I believe even as early as 1910, but the order in which they are here given is not chronological beyond the fact that the third part contains only poems written after the outbreak of the war. Of these some were written in England (at Oxford in particular), some in Wales and very many during a year in France from November 1915 to December 1916, which was broken by one leave in the middle of May. “The Burial of Sophocles,” which is here placed at the end, was begun before the war and continued at odd times and in various circumstances afterwards; the final version was sent me from the trenches. Beyond these few facts no prelude and no envoi is needed other than those here printed as their author left them. J. R. R. T.

    Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Pamphlet Competition. In her second chapbook, And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson's delicate choice of words \'unlace restraint' and take us to the limits of the female body's potential.

    Join a carnival of characters including Bez from Happy Mondays, Jorge Louis Borges, and a medieval pilgrim on a journey to buy a PlayStation, in McCabe's sixth and most daring collection. Part-written in Scouse dialect and invented languages, Hedonism offsets the comic with the elegiac in a spectral and polyphonic work exploring the intersection of grief, place, memory and imagination.
    This is a book where haunted pasts and futures collide; in a post-Brexit landscape, through cities both imagined and real, McCabe's poems merge through timeslips and ghostly encounters, all the time electrified by the great connector of language at its most radical and unruly. These incandescent poems surge and resist expectation and formula – declaring "can it be, after all, that hedonism is the only activism?"
