Beschreibung

In "Ara vus prec," T. S. Eliot presents a captivating exploration of the themes of spirituality, mortality, and the interconnectedness of human experience. Written in a highly inventive style, this collection of poems employs a fragmented yet cohesive narrative structure, demonstrating Eliot's mastery over rhythm and meter. The work is steeped in a rich intertextuality, drawing from classical and contemporary influences, which situates it firmly within the Modernist literary tradition. Here, Eliot delves into the existential dilemmas that pervade modern life, while blending stark realism with metaphysical inquiry, creating a profound impact on the reader's imagination. T. S. Eliot, a pivotal figure in 20th-century literature, profoundly shaped modern poetry through his innovative approaches and philosophical underpinnings. His own experiences of cultural dislocation, war, and a search for meaning in the chaotic aftermath of the early 1900s inspired his artistic vision. "Ara vus prec" reflects his sustained engagement with religious and philosophical themes, indicating a quest for spiritual clarity amidst the disillusionment of the age. For readers seeking a thought-provoking and aesthetically challenging read, "Ara vus prec" is an essential addition to the modern literary canon. Eliot's nuanced exploration of urgent human questions resonates powerfully, making this work a significant touchstone for understanding the complexities of the human condition.

    In early 2019, when playwright Kirk Wood Bromley was diagnosed with cancer, his fans and collaborators came together to fund and record three of his plays, one of which was Icarus and Aria, an "upgraded Romeo and Juliet" that was originally performed under the dramatory of Aaron Beall at the first NY International Fringe Festival in 1997. This full cast performance was directed by Joshua Spafford and recorded by Kevin Blackler. 
    By riffing off its source, Icarus and Aria is thrillingly situated in the present. Icarus Alzaro is a rookie football star just signed to a high profile contract with the Arizona Aztechs. Jimmy Jones, the Aztechs owner, has a daughter named Aria. The two meet at a party to celebrate Icarus's joining the team, fall in love, and run away to the Superstition Mountains. By morning, their disappearance is a media storm. The two young lovers are eventually brought down by the inexorable forces that surround them. The play includes a cast of characters ranging from Dina, Aria's smart-mouthed best friend, and Primalo, Icarus's brother and head of El Imaginero, a crime ring linked to drug-dealing and a spate of murders, to the Channel One News Team, Aria's spunky stepmom Cindy, her trigger-happy brother Jimmy Junior, Medicine Woman, officers Barcaiolo and Junkfood, and more. Full cast info is at inversetheater.org 
    The world's foremost living verse playwright, Bromley has been compared to Shakespeare and Stoppard, is a member of New Dramatists, and was declared "the verse play champion" by Michael Feingold (Village Voice) in 2005. Bromley and Inverse have won numerous awards, including Best Downtown Theater Company (NY Press 2001), The Berrilla Kerr Foundation Playwriting Award (2001), Best Music/Lyrics (NY Int’l Fringe Festival 2002), Excellence in Playwriting (NY Int’l Fringe Festival 2003), the first Caffe Cino Award (NY Innovative Theater Awards 2005), and Outstanding Solo Show (NY Int’l Fringe Festival 2009).

    Short Story Press Presents Kidnapped Writer by Eve Gaal 
    Kidnapped Writer is about our melting pot here in America. The main character is Viola and she’s having a horrible day. In fact, it is absolutely the worst day of her life. After years at her newspaper job as a writer, they’ve cut back on everything and put her into the advertising department. On her way out of town for the weekend, she gets kidnapped by a strange family needing her help. Outraged, Viola finds herself held captive by a very old woman in a dingy Italian restaurant. As the grandmother reveals the startling story about her family, Viola quickly forgets her own troubles. The dilemma is that things have changed and even if she wanted to help, it might not be possible. Sympathizing with her kidnappers doesn’t exactly solve her problems. Or does it?

    In stirring verse and essays, Katy Bowser Hutson chronicles her battle with breast cancer and the complications of faith amid such a fight. Accentuated by the art of Jodi Hays, Katy's words lead us through the realization of cancer, the experience of chemotherapy and a mastectomy, relentless rounds of radiation, the uncertainty of ongoing treatment, and what comes after survival. She writes in resistance to sickness, of wrestling toward beauty:
    Cancer is an overgrowth, a kudzu:Tangling and strangling legitimate life.
    
    Chemo is a killing, a burning out:
    
    Burning down to ashy carbon, indiscriminately
    
    But cancer, did you know that I am a poet?
    Through it all, she shows what it means to struggle in a battered body and to pray to a God who is near to the broken. Join her in this consideration of mortality and witness her persisting trust in God's unseen ways.
