Summary

In "A Few More Verses," Susan Coolidge expands upon the themes established in her earlier work, presenting a collection of heartfelt poetry that captures the nuances of childhood, friendship, and the bittersweet essence of growing up. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of Victorian literature, Coolidge employs vivid imagery and a delicate rhyme scheme that invites readers into a world of innocence and introspection. This collection not only reflects her personal experiences but also resonates with broader cultural values of the time, where sentimentality and moral reflection were integral to artistic expression. Susan Coolidge, the pen name of Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, was a prolific writer whose upbringing in a literary family and her experiences as a governess profoundly influenced her work. Known for her ability to depict the complexities of young women's lives, her writings often intertwine themes of education, morality, and the joys and trials of adolescence. Coolidge's deep understanding of her audience—particularly young girls—allowed her to craft poems that are both relatable and poignant, revealing the strength found in vulnerability. "A Few More Verses" is not merely a poetic collection; it is an exploration of the emotional landscape of youth and the richness of inner life. Readers seeking a lyrical journey through the trials of growing up will find solace and inspiration in Coolidge's work. Highly recommended for those interested in classic children's literature and the evolution of women's writing.

    '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.

    The Tragedy of Timon of Athens

    The Tragedy of Timon of Athens (The Life of Tymon of Athens) is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in collaboration with Thomas Middleton in about 1605–1606, which was published in the First Folio in 1623. It is about the fortunes of an Athenian named Timon. The central character is a beloved citizen of Athens who through tremendous generosity spends his entire fortune on corrupt hangers-on only interested in getting the next payout.
The earliest-known production of the play was in 1674, when Thomas Shadwell wrote an adaptation under the title The History of Timon of Athens, The Man-hater. Multiple other adaptations followed over the next century, by writers such as Thomas Hull, James Love and Richard Cumberland. The straight Shakespearean text was performed at Smock Alley in Dublin in 1761, but adaptations continued to dominate the stage until well into the 20th century.
... Flavius arrives. He wants the money as well, but he also wants Timon to come back into society. Timon acknowledges that he has had one true friend in Flavius, a shining example of an otherwise diseased and impure race, but laments that this man is a mere servant. He invites the last envoys from Athens, who hoped Timon might placate Alcibiades, to go hang themselves, and then dies in the wilderness. Alcibiades, marching on Athens, then throws down his glove, and ends the play reading the bitter epitaph Timon wrote for himself, part of which was composed by Callimachus:
"Here lies a wretched corpse of wretched soul bereft:
Seek not my name: a plague consume you wicked caitiffs left!"
Here lie I, Timon, who alive, all living men did hate,
Pass by, and curse thy fill, but pass and stay not here thy gait...
Among the most significant works William Shakespeare: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.

    Bitter herbs. Icy droplets. Saccharine morsels. Sapphire flames. This notorious libation of La Belle Époque swirls and clouds as an opalescent collection of verse so impassioned that to overindulge could be deadly. Read with care — and plenty of sugar cubes. 
 
“Dark, visionary, and at times demonic, the poems in Maria Alexander’s AT LOUCHE ENDS, live up to the book’s subtitle: Poetry for the Decadent, the Damned and the Absinthe-Minded. Highly recommended for a fearsome late night read, but not for the faint of heart.” 
–Bruce Boston, Bram Stoker Award author of Dark Matters 
 
"Dark as night, sexy as hell, this collection of poetry is not one you will easily forget. 
–Deborah P Kolodji, President, Science Fiction Poetry Association 
 
"Acute and often painful, Maria Alexander's poetry speaks volumes to the heart of mankind and its eternal fears. At Louche Ends promises to be a timeless and rare collection." 
–Corrine De Winter, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Women at the Funeral 
 
"Maria Alexander’s At Louche Ends is an exercise in girding one’s broken heart and uncrossing one’s fishnetted legs with an Adam Ant-load of New Romantic firepower…" 
–Gram Ponante, Fleshbot 
 
 "A narcotic for the senses."
