Sinopse

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.

Poems written only from three-letter airport codes demand a new kind of passport. Every major airport has a three-letter code from the International Air Transport Association. In perhaps history's greatest-ever feat of armchair travel, Nasser Hussain has written a collection of poetry entirely from those codes. In a dazzling aeronautic feat of constraint-based writing, SKY WRI TEI NGS explores the relationship between language and place in a global context. Watch as words jet-set across the map, leaving a poetic flight path. See letters take flight (and leave their baggage behind).

Best friends Zaid and Neelam shared a dream: get away, make it as writers, build a future where they're free to be themselves. Together, always.
Years later, things are far from what they expected. Zaid's life has kinda stalled – he's half out the closet, living at home and still chasing the dream. While Neelam's has taken a completely different path as she chooses to prioritise her own happiness. As their lives pull further apart, leaving a mess of unsaid things between them, it's going to take something real to bring them back together.
Waleed Akhtar's play The Real Ones is a funny and honest love letter to platonic soulmates. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike, and starring Nathaniel Curtis and Mariam Haque.

The poems of this book were written at very various times, one (“Wind over the Sea”) I believe even as early as 1910, but the order in which they are here given is not chronological beyond the fact that the third part contains only poems written after the outbreak of the war. Of these some were written in England (at Oxford in particular), some in Wales and very many during a year in France from November 1915 to December 1916, which was broken by one leave in the middle of May. “The Burial of Sophocles,” which is here placed at the end, was begun before the war and continued at odd times and in various circumstances afterwards; the final version was sent me from the trenches. Beyond these few facts no prelude and no envoi is needed other than those here printed as their author left them. J. R. R. T.
