Sinopse

Christmas Poems & Carols - Premium Collection is a compendium that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Christmas through the ages with its rich tapestry of poetic styles and themes. This collection features a diverse range of expressions, from the hauntingly serene to the jubilantly triumphant, capturing the multifaceted nature of the holiday season. Works within the anthology span timeless reflections on faith, human connection, and the wonders of winter, elegantly juxtaposing nostalgic scenes of hearth and home with reflections on the sacred and divine. Featuring both well-loved carols and less familiar works, this compilation invites readers to discover the varied literary dimensions of Christmas. The anthology brings together the timeless voices of canonical figures such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Emily Dickinson, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, among others. These authors, often associated with major literary movements such as Romanticism and Victorian literature, infuse their poetry with historical and cultural depth. Their collective contributions weave a rich narrative that reflects the anthology's overarching theme while also exploring wider socio-cultural contexts, providing a well-rounded depiction of Christmas across different periods and styles. Christmas Poems & Carols - Premium Collection offers readers a unique literary feast, encouraging them to immerse themselves in the evocative imagery and profound insights that these varied voices provide. As a scholarly yet accessible curation, it serves both as an educational resource and an invitation to explore the timeless themes of Christmas through a multiplicity of perspectives. This book fosters a dialogue between classical works, rekindling the festive season's magic through a literary lens that celebrates tradition and diversity alike.

    Right of the Soil

    The Latin phrase, jus soli (“right of the soil”), is an unconditional right of a person born within the territory of a country to be conferred citizenship. Singapore’s nationality law is based on jus sanguinis (“right of blood”, in which citizenship is determined by that of one or both parents) and a modified form of jus soli (with at least one Singaporean parent). 
     
    A two-time Singapore Literature Prize winner, Yong Shu Hoong contemplates how a person is invariably bound to the land on which he first sets foot. These poems address topics like belongingness and birthright by exploring the intermingling of the four fundamental elements of air, water, fire and earth. 
     
    Expanded from a 2016 chapbook published a year after the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence, this book also attempts to sharpen Yong’s understanding of his relationship with his homeland. A new sequence of poems then plunges readers into Hell, reimagined as Singapore’s third integrated resort that opens underground in the centennial year of 2065, with its concepts inspired by Haw Par Villa’s main attraction, the 10 Courts of Hell. 
     
    Beyond our earthly lives, is it soil – or another element or dimension – that will assert its right to claim us? 
     
    Shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize for Poetry 2020

    Blackbird Singing at Dusk

    Blackbird Singing at Dusk by Wendy Pratt is an illuminating and lyrical exploration of place within nature; of Northern rural working-class lives, the female body, and of the ancestors and history still close to the surface, just beneath where our feet touch the earth. Moving through both landscapes and human lives, these poems weigh the impact of loss and consider the circular, deep nature of time itself; how lifetimes can be measured – whether in jackdaw, beech tree or even glacier time.
    From the silent sentinels of boulders to peels of birdsong "stopping the world", Wendy Pratt's archaeological attention to detail draws us into an intimate elegy, mindful of the connections of earth and people, the living and the dead. The wide horizons of her poems weave the heartbeat of working days and the rich inheritances of love in scribbled notes and domestic prayers – all that remains behind long after, marking us with grief for a lost parent or a baby daughter. These remarkable poems of solace consider what it is to endure and find reassurance in a rural land "quartered by barn owls and kestrels," with its ever-shifting seasons and skies, its permanence of stone and soil.

    'Every one of us will be here for a different particular reason. I am here because I am passionate about history.'
    It is 2019, the Year of Return, marking four hundred years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in America. We are at a slave castle in Ghana. Samuel is our tour guide. It's his job to give tourists a really, really authentic experience of the castle's dark history, and to do it all with a smile. Thank you, Samuel!
    The tourists are Samuel's guests, and they're on a journey of self-discovery. But they're here, standing on soil, blood and bones, asking for a selfie. They want to buy trinkets from the gift shop. Samuel would never want to hurt the tourists. And they would never want to hurt him.
    Rhianna Ilube's Samuel Takes a Break… in Male Dungeon No. 5 After a Long but Generally Successful Day of Tours is a genre-blending play about colonialism, identity and the attempt to preserve the past. It was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting and the Verity Bargate Award, and was a finalist for the 2024 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It premiered at The Yard Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike.
