  A punchy and provocative story about democracy, power, and how we can try to build a better world.
  A generation of young people has been let down. Schools are crumbling, the NHS is falling apart, and soon there won't be a planet left to save. It feels like the people in charge simply don't care.
  Pushed to the edge, a group of teenagers decide to create a future for themselves, carving out a utopia away from the failings of those who came before. But if you rebuild a society from the ground up, how do you avoid making the same mistakes?
  Abi Falase and Tatenda Shamiso's play The Village was first staged at the Almeida Theatre, London, performed by the Almeida Young Company.
  The Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series features large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to young adults. For more information, visit www.multiplaydrama.co.uk.

  Arthur Macy was a Nantucket boy of Quaker extraction. His name alone is evidence of this, for it is safe to say that a Macy, wherever found in the United States, is descended from that sturdy old Quaker who was one of those who bought Nantucket from the Indians, paid them fairly for it, treated them with justice, and lived on friendly terms with them. In many ways Arthur Macy showed that he was a Nantucketer and, at least by descent, a Quaker. He often used phrases peculiar to our island in the sea, and was given, in conversation at least, to similes which smacked of salt water. Almost the last time I saw him he said, "I'm coming round soon for a good long gam." (Summary from the Introduction to Poems by Arthur Macy)This was the fortnightly poem for March 13, 2015.

  War Is Kind (Collection)

  Stephen Crane

  Published in 1899, just a year before his death, War Is Kind by Stephen Crane evokes again the dark imagery of war which made his fortune in The Red Badge Of Courage. Unlike that book, this collection leaves the battlefield itself behind to explore the damage war does to people’s hearts and minds. Reeking of dashed hopes, simultaneously sympathetic with the victims of war and cynical about the purposes of war, Crane implicitly criticizes the image of the romantic hero and asks if Love can survive. 
  The poetic voice is one of an old and wearied soul, stark and disillusioned, which is all the more intriguing since Crane was dead before he reached his 30th birthday. His work calls to mind the Beat Poets of the mid 20th century in its powerful use of language and bleak idiomatic landscape. It is poetry on the cusp of the fin de siècle; echoing the passing age and presaging the newborn century.  (Summary by Chip)
