April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers.

A powerful play about the effects of Oliver Cromwell's military campaign in Ireland - a ruthless conquest whose folk memories still sit uncomfortably in the Irish psyche. Winner of the John Whiting Award for Drama In the 17th century Cromwell moved English troops into a war-weary Ireland, forcing the local inhabitants onto barren land as the English gentry took over their homes. The cruelty of this racial persecution is brought into sharp focus through the tragic love of an Englishman for a local Irish woman. 'Does for 17th-century Anglo-Irish history what Arthur Miller did for 17th-century New England history' - Sunday Times 'A finely written play, full of sharp observation' - Independent on SundayVer livro
Having lived part time in Brooklyn for the past several years, Jacob Scheier's new poems are solidly rooted in Jewish New York life and examine love, loss, history, identity, protest, and popular culture. At the heart of Letter from Brooklyn is the notion that people understand who they are by where they have been. Everything is at once political and poetic, inseparable from intimate experience and personal heartbreak. Scheier moves from the inner worlds of grief and love to form a poetic dialectic between the familial and the historical. Whether eating in a knish restaurant on the Lower East Side or falling in and then out of love with the Brooklyn Bridge, or even being startled while biking down a prairie road, with depth and originality Scheier confronts the question of where home is and what it means amid private and public loss.Ver livro
Edith Newbold Jones was born in New York on 24th January 1862. Born into wealth, this background of privilege gave her a wealth of experience to eventually, after several false starts, produce many works based on it culminating in her 1921 Pulitzer Prize winning novel ‘The Age of Innocence’ Marriage to Edward Robbins Wharton, who was 12 years her senior in 1885 seemed to offer much and for some years they travelled extensively. After some years it was apparent that her husband suffered from acute depression and so the travelling ceased and they retired to ‘The Mount’, their estate designed by Edith. By 1908 his condition was said to be incurable and prior to divorcing Edward in 1913 she began an affair, in 1908, with Morton Fullerton, a Times journalist, who was her intellectual equal and allowed her writing talents to push forward and write the novels for which she is so well known. Acknowledged as one of the great American writers Wharton was also a dazzling though largely unrecognised poet. Her talents allowed her to create poems that both capture and explore many situations of life and society. Edith Wharton died of a stroke in 1937 at the Domaine Le Pavillon Colombe, her 18th-century house on Rue de Montmorency in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt, in France. 1 - The Poetry of Edith Wharton - An Introduction 2 - Terminus by Edith Wharton 3 - Some Busy Hands by Edith Wharton 4 - A Failure by Edith Wharton 5 - A Hunting Song by Edith Wharton 6 - Happiness by Edith Wharton 7 - Mould and Vase by Edith Wharton 8 - Jade by Edith Wharton 9 - Aeropagus by Edith Wharton 10 - Non Dolet by Edith Wharton 11 - Botticlelli’s Madonna in the Louvre by Edith Wharton 12 - Patience by Edith Wharton 13 - The Comrade by Edith Wharton 14 - Mona Lisa by Edith Wharton 15 - Life by Edith Wharton 16 - The Bread of Angels by Edith Wharton 17 - Chartres by Edith Wharton 18 - Survival by Edith Wharton 19 - All Saints by Edith Wharton 20 - All Souls by Edith Wharton 21 - The Young Dead by Edith Wharton 22 - Belgium by Edith Wharton 23 - Battle Sleep by Edith Wharton 24 - Experience by Edith Wharton 25 - A Torchbearer by Edith Wharton 26 - A Grave by Edith Wharton 27 - An Autumn Sunset by Edith Wharton 28 - Grief by Edith WhartonVer livro
