Synopsis

Within the pages of "Modern Poets and Poetry of Spain," readers will encounter a rich tapestry of themes and styles representative of Spanish literary prowess during the 18th and 19th centuries. The anthology captures a remarkable period of transition when Romanticism began to overshadow Neoclassicism, offering a diverse array of poetic forms that range from passionate odes to contemplative sonnets. Selections such as vibrant ballads and emotive romances highlight the evolving nature of Spain's literary landscape, illustrating the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation that defines this era. This collection brings together the voices of renowned poets, each contributing their distinct perspective to the evolving narrative of Spanish poetry. Figures like José de Espronceda and Gaspar de Jovellanos, surrounded by other literary giants such as José Zorrilla and Manuel Bretón de los Herreros, enhance the anthology's thematic depth and cultural texture. Aligned with both the progressive ideals of Enlightenment and the emotive depth of Romanticism, these authors collectively embody a movement that champions individualism and emotions, offering nuanced insights into historical and social undercurrents. "Modern Poets and Poetry of Spain" presents a profound journey through the expressive landscapes of Spanish literature compellingly. This anthology is an indispensable exploration of diverse stylistic approaches, rewarding readers with a comprehensive and multifaceted understanding of an essential period. It invites readers to immerse themselves in the imaginative dialogues crafted by Spain's poetic masters, serving as an enlightening resource for students, educators, and enthusiasts of literary studies alike.

    This work captures personal experience of the Army's Surgeon General as a military doctor in crisis and war, spanning 30 years from Northern Ireland; through Kosovo to the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns; culminating in the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukraine war.
    Poetry provides the ability to say what is otherwise difficult or unpalatable. Some of the poems are critical and challenging. Some are humorous, as dark humour is a well-recognised resilience tool of the soldier. All are observational—and all are grounded in the realities of crisis and conflict.
    It is likely you have read war poetry from the perspectives of the combat soldier: but this book is the alternative perspective of those who manage the consequences of war. The work exposes that saving lives in conflict, picking up the human pieces, takes a toll on the carers. Writing these poems has been a means for the author to sustain mental resilience and to cope with serial morally injurious events.

In this bold debut from Andy McGuire, all passions – even unpleasant ones – stare down the barrel of a world in which freedom is the fifty-first state, and love is the eleventh province.
      
       
    The manatee wades out of the water and roars at the sightseersThat one of them owes him a drink.From the beach below the boardwalk, cock-a-doodle-do!What about a Christmas bowlcut over by the mangrove manatees!Because in Florida there are FloridiansAnd they are born Floridians at large.Every motionCan’t stop its own ocean.The oceans' motions make mistakes.Some of the dying are unspeakableIn their thinness, poorly disguised meat mannequins.The mosquitoes are so bigThey bleed you like a pig.Being eaten alive is an acquired taste.

    A wild party. A friendship. A cherished pet. And a night that changes everything.
    It's Julie's eighteenth birthday, and she's throwing a party in her father's extravagant townhouse. Her boyfriend has just dumped her and her long-suffering best friend Christine is trying to pick up the pieces. As the revellers pile into the booze, down in the kitchen Christine and her boyfriend Jon – son of Julie's cleaner – clear up and dare to dream of the future.
    But as the volume goes up and the shots go down, Julie concocts a twisted cocktail of privilege, desire and destruction.
    Laura Lomas's play The House Party spins Strindberg's classic play Miss Julie into intense, fizzing life for today's generation. It was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2024, co-produced with Headlong in association with Frantic Assembly, and directed by Holly Race Roughan.
