  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
   
  England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
   
  In this volume we explore a part of the country that seems to be tucked away yet brims with talent.  It’s cities such as Manchester and Liverpool are world-famous for their being industrial powerhouses and creative hot-spots.

  Amid the storied halls of the Royal Cambridge Scholastic Institute, Professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith—beloved pedagogue, poet, and relentless seeker of truth—finds himself on the brink of a new academic year. Surrounded by antiquarian volumes and the warm presence of Victoria Emerson-Lloyd, the love of his life, he prepares to illuminate the minds of his students with one of life’s most daunting themes: adversity. From the hush of a predawn study to the bustling energy of a packed university auditorium, Erasmus invites his class on a journey of discovery, introspection, and hope. 
  But adversity is not merely an academic subject—it touches every facet of Erasmus’s own life. Through poignant narrations, tender memories, and stirring poetry, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III unravels a tapestry of trials and triumphs. As Erasmus recounts the struggles that tested his spirit, readers encounter the raw, universal truths of hardship and renewal. In reflective conversations with Victoria—whose gentle presence radiates unconditional love—we witness how true courage emerges in the face of fear and longing. 
  Infused with lyrical verses, deep philosophical insights, and a dash of old-world charm, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III is a testament to the power of narrative and poetry to transform pain into wisdom, fracture into resilience, and separation into reunion. Whether it is the hush of a centuries-old library or the vibrant exchange in a rapt lecture hall, Professor Cromwell-Smith’s enduring lessons remind us that from the moment adversity strikes to the dawn of new beginnings, life continuously offers us the chance to learn, to heal, and ultimately—if we listen with open hearts—to flourish.

  'All of human history? It's basically people taking things from each other.'
  A thousand-year-old statue of the Bodhisattva Guanyin lives in the British Museum. When it emerges that the statue was stolen from its original home, the museum attempts to deflect both the public response and controversial repatriation claims from the Chinese government.
  As statesmen scheme and grease their palms, beneath the statue, witches dance, a cleaner prays, and spirits weep.
  Joel Tan's daring, shape-shifting play unfolds the statue's journey from China to Britain and back again, stirring up age-old ghosts and asking who can claim cultural artefacts – and why?
  Scenes from a Repatriation was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by experimental theatre-makers emma + pj.
