  Columbus - 19th century poem...

  James Russell Lowell was born on 22nd February 1819 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 
  Lowell graduated from Harvard in 1838, and thence on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School.  
  His literary life began in 1841 with his first published collection of poetry.  Three years later he married Maria White and they had several children although, sadly, only one was to survive childhood. 
  A consuming issue at the time was the abolition of slavery.  Lowell was a staunch supporter even going so far as to move to Philadelphia to edit an abolitionist newspaper.  His poems were fully in support of Emancipation and the ending of this terrible abomination.  His later views were milder and came in for some criticism.  
  His publication in 1848 of the long poem ‘A Fable for Critics’, satirising the poets and critics of the then current poetry scene caused an uproar.  That same year came ‘The Biglow Papers’, which increased his fame and his finances.  His use of the Yankee accent in his character’s dialogue was an inspiration for many. 
  Maria died in 1853 and Lowell decided to travel to Europe for some time before returning to Harvard to take up a professorship of languages.   In 1857 he re-married and also took on the editorship of that key periodical ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ whilst continuing to teach at Harvard. 
  Lowell wrote and published poetry and essay collections throughout his literary career and is acknowledged as one of the ‘Fireside Poets’, a group of New England poets that rivalled the popularity of British poets.  Their work was not controversial and suitable for whole families to enjoy hence their name and appeal.  Whilst Lowell’s own work does not now attract the same praise as his then contemporaries, he was their equal. 
  Towards the end of his life Lowell was appointed as ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain and later to the Court of St. James's.  
  His last years were a return home to his estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  By the summer of 1891 doctors had diagnosed cancer in his kidneys, liver and lungs.  There was nothing that they could do except prescribe opium for the pain. 
  James Russell Lowell died on the 12th of August 1891 on the Cambridge estate where he was also born.  He was 72.

  New Rules - Polite Musings from...

  Bill Maher

  Bill Maher first came to national attention as the host of the hit program Politically Incorrect, in which he offered a combustible mixture of irreverence and acerbic humor that garnered him a loyal following. In his popular and long-running HBO television show, Real Time with Bill Maher, his reputation for being a hilarious provocateur continues. One particular segment of the show— "New Rules"— strikes a chord with viewers every week. Within these rules, Maher takes comic and serious aim, bringing all his incisiveness, wit, and signature exasperation to bear on topics ranging from cell phones ("I don't need my cell phone to take pictures or access the Internet. I just need to make a phone call!") to the conservative agenda ("Stop claiming it's an agenda. It's not an agenda! It's a random collection of laws that your corporate donors paid you to pass!"). In this collection, Maher brings these brilliantly conceived riffs to audio, along with some singularly Maher-ian "editorials"— editorials nothing like the standard fare found on the pages of the local newspaper!

  The Poetry of Trains - A wide...

  The mythology of the Train, the Railroad, those two shiny tracks running off into the far distance is a powerful symbol of the industrial age. 
   
  The train was the first mass transit system to network the land and to carry people and materials of every class and of every shape.  A sort of democracy with the only requirement of use being the price of a ticket. 
   
  Poets who grew up with this pulsating leviathan of industry were quick to see its merits for their own lines and verse.   
   
  Across these poems comes both an individual eye across a wide range of feelings, thoughts and ideas as well as, occasionally, the trainspotter’s delight for form and detail from poets such as Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas, Edna St Vincent Millay, Damon Runyon and a host of others.

  'O, full of scorpions is my mind.'
  The spellbinding story of love and murder, power and paranoia, and the internal struggles of a married couple as they try to control their destiny, and one another…
  This official tie-in edition to the Donmar Warehouse's acclaimed 2023 revival of Shakespeare's extraordinary psychological drama features rich and revealing behind-the-scenes material exploring how the production was conceived and developed.
  Starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, and directed by Donmar Associate Director Max Webster, this bracingly fresh version used binaural sound technology to place the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking us: are we are ever really responsible for our actions?
  It was first staged at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in December 2023, and transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End in October 2024.
  In addition to the version of Shakespeare's text performed, this volume also includes a fascinating rehearsal diary, colour photos, and interviews with its leading cast and creative team: Tennant, Jumbo and Webster, plus designer Rosanna Vize, sound designer Gareth Fry and composer and musical director Alasdair Macrae.
