Sinossi

“I am large, I contain multitudes” 
Walt Whitman published his first collection of poetry, Leaves of Grass, in 1855. Whitman spent most of his professional life writing and revising it multiple times until his death. 
It was highly controversial during its time for its explicit sexual imagery, and Whitman was subject to derision by many contemporary critics. Over time, however, the collection has infiltrated popular culture and been recognised as one of the central works of American poetry.

    Losing Venice

    'Our duty is plain. To bring an end to peace.'
    An empire gone wrong; an empire completely gone, in fact. A nation with delusional ideas of its place in the world, making poor choices, involved in clumsy foreign adventures, constantly on the edge of war.
    At home, class divides are stark yet all attention is on a Duke's ceremonial marriage. And surging through the chaos, the absurdities of masculinity threaten to destroy everything.
    An epic fable set in the faraway Spanish Golden Age, Jo Clifford's play Losing Venice is a joyously original, witty take-down of dangerously daft machismo and the deranged behaviour of countries that have lost an empire and still not yet found a role…
    First seen at the 1985 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Losing Venice was revived at the Orange Tree, Richmond, in 2018.

    God of All Flying Things is a gentle companion for those seeking God in the midst of lives full of beauty, longing, and mystery. 
    In this intimate collection of prayers and poems, Rachel Devenish Ford writes from the quiet spaces of her devotion to Christ. These are the words of someone who has sat quietly in sorrow, who has shouted prayers into the dark, and who keeps looking for the presence of God in birdsong, breath, and daily bread. 
    Alongside her poems, Rachel shares original paintings made during times of meditation. These are visual prayers that speak of reaching, belonging, and finding a dwelling place within the soul. 
    Whether you are feeling full or empty, certain or in the whirl of mystery, this book is an invitation to connection with the Divine Presence. 
    From the Author: 
    “I want this book to be kind and fierce. I want it to breathe. I want it to be human. I want it to reflect God's goodness, warmth, and love. 
    We, looking at God, have so many voices. We reflect the brilliance of God in our cells. 
    I am one voice, one of so many. So many people, alive or long passed, have encouraged me when my heart needed it. My voice also sings, and I want to show you my songs. 
    These are the poems of my attachment, the long, wandering relationship I have had with Christ. These are the poems of my wrestling. There are so, so many poems of love. Adoration. Longing. Resilience. Wisdom. Justice. Worship. These are the prayers I needed to shout. Dear friend, these poems are for you.”

    Literature is a world of words and wonder, able to take us on almost unimaginable journeys from the wild and fantastic to the grind and minutiae of life. 
     
    An author’s ideas are his building blocks, his architecture of the mind, building a structure on which all else will rest; the narrative, the characters, the words - those few words that begin the adventure. 
     
    In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem.  In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything.  But ideas, these grains and saplings of the brain, need to roam, to explore and find their perfect literary use vehicle.  Our authors are masters of many literary forms, perhaps known for one but themselves favouring another. 
     
    Story. Poems. Story.  Within these boundaries come all manner of invention and cast of characters.  And, of course, each author has their own way of revealing their own chapter and verse.

    This is Anny's story of desertion, heart break, and panic. A single mother and her young son Randy must make their way to what ever lies ahead. This is a story of a mother bonding with her son in adverse conditions; while trying to survive. A drama of morals, ethics, and compassion finds its way though out this book. The single mother's illusion of trust and security is removed when her husband dissolves the marriage and leaves. The mother and her twelve year son are left to fend for themselves. All their earthy belongings fit into a suitcase, and two black garbage bags. In the bleak situation a hidden talent comes forth, which renews her hope, and self worth.
