Synopsis

In 'Nothing to Eat', a compelling anthology that artistically converges on the theme of scarcity and survival, readers are treated to an exquisite array of literary styles. The collection astutely encompasses a range of narratives from satire to the didactic, showcasing the diverse ways in which literature tackles themes of poverty and the human condition. This anthology is remarkable not only for its thematic relevance but also for its historical context, positioning it at the intersection of 19th-century literary movements. The inclusion of standout pieces exploring societal disparities highlights the anthology's significance in discussing enduring social issues through varying narrative lenses. The contributing authors, Thomas Chandler Haliburton and Horatio Alger, bring a rich tapestry of backgrounds to this anthology. Known for their emphatic exploration of societal structures and individual agency within them, their works collectively underscore the anthology's theme. By aligning with and contributing to cultural and literary movements that scrutinize social stratification and personal resilience, their narratives foster a deeper understanding of the socio-economic issues of their time, making 'Nothing to Eat' a critical reflection of historical and cultural dynamics. 'Reading 'Nothing to Eat' offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the multifaceted discussions on poverty, resilience, and societal structures. Through its rich blend of narrative styles and themes, the collection invites readers to traverse a literary journey that is both enlightening and introspective. It is an essential read for those who appreciate the educational value of literature and its power to foster dialogue across different periods and perspectives. The anthology is not just a literary endeavor but a bridge connecting readers to the complex tapestry of human experience through times of hardship.

    Her first pamphlet since her debut full collection Platinum Blonde sees Phoebe Stuckes' trademark poems of high humour and hubris take on a dreamier, more abstract, quality. Perhaps the 'wise-cracking party girl' of her earlier work is sensing that, for a while at least, the party is postponed. There isn't much worth staying up late for any more in these poems. Instead, our character lies awake in bed long into the night or wakes up into a pre-dawn world they barely recognise. And the strange new rural setting they wake to is inviting and also threatening and therefore not to be trusted.
    Phoebe Stuckes remains one of the most exciting horrifying hilarious unsettling poets writing today. The One Girl Gremlin is of course an absolute triumph!

    Poem Criticizing the Avignon Papacy

    Raimon de Cornet, J. H. Robinson

    The period known as the Avignon Papacy began in 1309, when Pope Clement V relocated the seat of papal power to Avignon, France. The French monarchy slowly gained control over the papacy during this time, and as they did, corruption and greed grew in the church. The troubadour and priest Raimon de Cornet staunchly opposed the Avignon Papacy for these reasons. He summarized his grievances in this noteworthy poem, in which he states, “I see the pope his sacred trust betray, / For while the rich his grace can gain alway, / His favors from the poor are aye withholden.”
