Stephen Crane

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Poetry," Stephen Crane presents a profound exploration of the human condition through evocative imagery and innovative verse. This collection, characterized by its modernist tendencies, defies conventional poetic forms, reflecting the tumultuous spirit of the late 19th century. Crane's succinct yet poignant style captures the raw emotions of life amidst the chaos of war, love, and existential despair, demonstrating his exceptional ability to convey complex ideas in deceptively simple language. The poems navigate through themes of nature, mortality, and the search for meaning, resonating deeply with the reader in a socio-political context charged with uncertainty and transformation. Stephen Crane, renowned for his landmark novel "The Red Badge of Courage," utilized his experiences as both a war correspondent and a young author to inform his poetic sensibilities. Born in 1871, Crane's tumultuous life, marked by early success and untimely death, impelled him to explore the depths of human emotion and the realities of his era. His keen observation of society's struggles and nuances positions him as a pivotal figure in transitioning American literature from romanticism to modernism. "Poetry" is a must-read for those fascinated by the evolution of American poetry and the interplay between experience and expression. Crane's work challenges the norms of his time, making it essential reading for anyone who wishes to grasp the profound complexities of human emotion and the literary innovations of the late 19th century.

Boy Parts

Eliza Clark

'I wonder what I have to do for people to recognise me as a threat. Do I have to smash a glass over the head of every single man I come into contact with, just so I leave a mark?'
Irina takes erotic photos of average-looking men. Always behind the lens, she watches, she moulds, and she stalks. These boys are putty in her hands, just the way she likes it.
When the opportunity to show her photographs in a fashionable London gallery coincides with a new boy to obsess over, cracks begin to appear. How far can she push her new prey for the perfect shot, or has she already gone too far?
Based on the critically acclaimed debut novel by Eliza Clark, which was a finalist for the Women's Prize Futures Award, Boy Parts is a pitch-black psychological thriller that subverts the erotic gaze and asks what happens when our need for connection gets twisted.
This stage adaptation for one actor by Gillian Greer was premiered in 2023 at Soho Theatre, London, in a co-production between Metal Rabbit Productions and Soho Theatre, and directed by Sara Joyce.
