Beschreibung

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.

    The year is 878.  Young King Alfred struggles to regain his West Saxon kingdom from the invading pagan Danes led by Gormr (aka Guthrum, aka Godrum).   His kingdom overrun, Alfred joins Gormr's court disguised as a Welsh gleeman.  Gormr consults Alfred as a counselor and wizard, but resists Alfred's attempts to convert him.   Meanwhile Alfred learns that his lady and their children are Gormr's prisoners.  Escaping to the western fens, he leads a small army against the Danes.   The rest is history.  This is an epic poem set in the Old English culture of Christian warriors, i.e., Romanized Germanic former pagans, contending with contemporary Scandinavian Germanic pagans.  The great epic poet Frederick Turner (author of The New World, Genesis, and Apocalypse) called Eþandun "The real Game of Thrones."   Listen to actor-poet-producer Kyle Derek's heroic rendition of this book-length poem!

    They say you can’t catch a fish with a hook.  
     
    It’s 1925, a world on the cusp of change. Hitler has published Mein Kampf and Mussolini has shut down the free press in Italy. 
     
    Three friends meet on a Scottish estate for a weekend of salmon fishing and convivial conversation over brandy and cigars: Winston Churchill, future world leader, ‘Bendor’, 2nd Duke of Westminster and Coco Chanel, iconic fashion entrepreneur. The narrative develops into a visceral account interspersed with sharp and insightful humour, revealing two men whose deep friendship is divided by their profound political differences, as each of them tries to navigate an uncertain world. 
     
    And then there is Coco Chanel, also an accomplished angler and Bendor’s mistress. She enters wearing furs and exits wearing waders. 
     
    In Winston & The Duke, Rory Fellowes delivers a thought-provoking play that invites the audience to question: 
    Have we learned anything from history?Should we pay attention to past events rather than purge them for comfort’s sake?Can controversial friendships exist openly and provoke change in today’s political arena?  
     
    That is for the listener to decide. 
     
    Winston & The Duke was developed through WIN: Writers Innovative Network and was directed by Maureen Payne-Hahner.
