Sinopsis

T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" is a groundbreaking modernist poem that delves into the disillusionment and fragmentation of post-World War I society. With its innovative structure, combining a multitude of voices, allusions, and literary references, the poem evokes the chaos of an era marked by moral disarray. This intricate tapestry uses varied styles, from dramatic monologue to stream-of-consciousness, reflecting the deep psychological and existential crises experienced by individuals grappling with a disintegrating world. Key thematic elements include despair, renewal, and the search for meaning amidst cultural desolation, which resonates powerfully with contemporary readers. Eliot, a key figure in modern literature, drew upon his extensive background in philosophy, theology, and literary traditions. His exposure to different cultures and languages, particularly during his time in Europe, influenced his explorations of identity and spirituality in "The Waste Land." The poem represents a culmination of his intellectual journey and showcases his mastery in weaving complex narratives that challenge traditional poetic forms. Readers seeking a profound exploration of human experience in the context of societal upheaval will find "The Waste Land" an essential read. Eliot's work invites introspection, beckoning us to confront the complexities of life in a fractured world, making it a timeless piece relevant to both historical and contemporary discourse.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore those playwrights who within a few lines could turn and express their words as very distinguished verse and so become as known for poetry as were for their plays.

    Despite its optimistic title, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well has often been considered a "problem play." Ostensibly a comedy, the play also has fairy tale elements, as it focuses on Helena, a virtuous orphan, who loves Bertram, the haughty son of her protectress, the Countess of Rousillon. When Bertram, desperate for adventure, leaves Rousillon to serve in the King's army, Helena pursues him.

    Poet Margaret Christakos, throughout her eight previous poetry collections, has created ruptures and splices inside of and against the limits of the confessional lyric, often using recombinatory procedures, cyclical and serial structure, and enmeshing intimate vernacular with highly aestheticized language in writing that explores maternality, sexuality and intimate address.
       
    In her new collection, Multitudes –Â?Â? where cellphone tweets snipe 'y wd I nd/ 2 spk 2 u?' alongside echoes of aria, chant and dirge –Â?Â? Christakos freshly pairs Whitman's 'Song of Myself' with an inquiry into the subjective thresholds of digital social media, where individuals conduct flamboyant acts of self-Â?portraiture, testimonial, self-Â?commodification, erotic selfÂ?-dispersal and indelible spectacle.
       
    Multitudes is a moving, witty, poetic foray into a modern frontier of public spaces (city hall square, park, cemetery, bicycle path), poetic forms, private longings and virtual relocations. With her trademark linguistic sonar, Christakos amplifies the capacity of language to discern an almost inherent swingdoor between 'moaning' and 'meaning,' while casting a discouraged eye on how human discernment is used to rigidify recognitions, inviting citizens to turn from ethical social activism to snitch on their Facebook friends after an urban hockey riot.
       
    'Alphabetic dismantling, syntactic play, essaying words backwards and 4words (as she might say), Christakos manifests forensic clarity and telegraphic fortitude in this unsettling work.' Â?– Rachel Blau DuPlessis
