Sinopsis

The Poems of Sappho presents an intricately woven anthology that captures the essence of ancient Greek lyricism and feminine poetic voice through its masterful collection of translated verses. Spanning themes such as love, longing, and the divine, this anthology showcases the vivid emotional landscapes characteristic of Sappho's oeuvre. The translations, guided by Edwin Marion Cox, strive to preserve the lyrical beauty and rhythmic elegance of the original works, creating a rich tapestry of transcendent themes that have influenced countless generations. Within this collection, poetry enthusiasts will uncover the diverse literary styles, from fragmentary musings to complete lyrical pieces, that highlight the enduring appeal and complexity of Sappho's legacy. The contributors, centered on the timeless voice of Sappho, offer a unique vantage point into her influence on the ancient and modern literary realms. Understanding Sappho's prominence in the context of the Hellenistic culture provides readers with insight into how her articulation of personal and universal themes defied the patriarchal confines of her time. Cox's dedication to maintaining the poet's authenticity serves as a testament to his scholarly commitment, providing a bridge that connects the reader to the past while aligning with contemporary literary movements that celebrate diversity in literary expression. Ideal for both scholars and newcomers to ancient Greek literature, The Poems of Sappho offers more than a glimpse into the world of one of history's greatest poets. It serves as an educational journey through time, presenting an invaluable compilation of perspectives that enrich one's understanding of poetic evolution.

    'Three options, as I see it – they'll kill it off entirely, you'll let it die of natural causes, I'm going to make it live again.'
    When the owner of a Sheffield scissor manufacturer dies, the future of the factory site falls into uncertainty. Can it be reborn as a fashionable music venue, converted into luxury apartments, or somehow reinvigorated so the old business can survive?
    There's more than just money or bricks and mortar at stake. It's about knowing where you fit in the world – knowing that somewhere there's still a place for you.
    Fresh, funny and heartfelt, Rock / Paper / Scissors are three intricately interwoven plays by Chris Bush about family, heritage and legacy. They were first performed simultaneously with the same cast moving between three theatres in Sheffield – the Crucible, the Lyceum and the Studio – as part of Sheffield Theatres' fiftieth birthday celebrations in 2022.
    While the three plays can be enjoyed separately, they also offer a uniquely rewarding opportunity for any company looking to take on the challenge of staging them together.

    David is gay, disabled and profoundly horny. He can't eat, drink or shower by himself – or wank. Totally inexperienced, he embarks on a sexual and romantic odyssey, armed with a fierce brain, and dick pics that he has to get someone to take.
    Can he keep it casual whilst also relying on round-the-clock care? And will he manage the thrill and uncertainty of random hook-ups after a lifetime of knockbacks?
    Animal is a hilarious, challenging and heartbreaking play by Jon Bradfield, from a story by Bradfield and Josh Hepple. It won the inaugural Through the Mill Playwriting Prize, was shortlisted for the Papatango Prize, and was first performed at the Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester, and Park Theatre, London, in 2023.

    When Kevin Powell's elderly mother became ill, he returned home ever week to take her grocery shopping in Jersey City. Walking behind her during those trips, Powell began to hear her voice, stories, and language in a new way—and examined his own healing while praying for hers. 
     
    Grocery Shopping with My Mother originated as social media posts about these visits and evolved into a breathtaking collection of thirty-two new poems, crafted like an album, plus four bonus tracks celebrating a great love of wordplay.  
     
    Culturally rooted in the literary traditions of Ntozake Shange and Allen Ginsberg, Powell’s poems honor the likes of V (formerly Eve Ensler), bell hooks, and Sidney Poitier. 
     
    Grocery Shopping with My Mother dives into the complexities of relationships and contemporary themes with honesty and vulnerability. Creatively and spiritually inspired by Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life, Powell’s poems shift in form and style, from praise chants to reverential  
    meditations to, most importantly, innovative hope.
