Sinopsis

In "Verses 1889-1896," Rudyard Kipling presents a compelling anthology of poetry that encapsulates his diverse engagement with themes such as imperialism, childhood, and the complexities of human experience. The collection showcases Kipling's distinctive literary style, marked by musicality and vivid imagery, which reflects both his mastery of traditional forms and a willingness to innovate. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period of significant British expansion and societal change, these verses serve as a microcosm of the era's cultural and political tensions, revealing the intricacies of life within a global empire. Rudyard Kipling, a product of colonial India, drew profoundly on his personal experiences and observations to craft his literary voice. His early life in the Indian subcontinent, coupled with later experiences in England and a deep-seated fascination with the imperial ethos, profoundly influenced his writing, particularly within the context of adventure and the psychological journey of the individual. Kipling's dual identity as both an insider and outsider affords his work a unique depth, plumbing the strains of belonging and alienation. "Verses 1889-1896" is recommended for readers interested in exploring the rich interplay of personal and national identity through poetry. Whether you are a longtime admirer of Kipling or a newcomer to his work, this collection promises a nuanced reflection on the Victorian condition and remains a cornerstone in understanding the literary landscape of its time.

Ramona Herdman's Glut is a lush, entertaining, and bittersweet collection of poems about how we live together and find meaning through rules and rituals around food, family, alcohol, work, nature, sex and love. These vividly-realised, nimble poems probe at the delicate balancing acts we – our bodies and our minds – perform in life: between power and trust, between convention and rebellion, and between what is enough and what is too much.
All the time, Herdman's spry poetry keeps a gimlet eye on our impulse to make sense of it all – of how we live and work together, and what strategies will help us to navigate our way through the tangled undergrowth of negotiation and misunderstanding. Glut is a lustrous, darkly funny, open-hearted book on the distance between people, on satisfying appetites, and on seeking both pleasure and consolation.

'This house. It's called "Sea View". It's just I've looked out of every window, and you can't. You can't see the sea.'
Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in two hundred years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering backstreets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their mother's run-down guest house, as she lies dying upstairs.
Jez Butterworth's play The Hills of California was first performed at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2024, directed by Sam Mendes, and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions and Neal Street.
