Sinossi

The Complete Works of Walt Whitman is an unparalleled compendium that encapsulates the profound breadth of one of America's most seminal poets. With daring explorations of themes such as democracy, individuality, and the human experience, Whitman forges a poetic style characterized by free verse and expansive imagery, breaking away from traditional forms. His experimental approach not only defined his voice but also positioned him at the forefront of the 19th-century literary movement known as American Romanticism. Each poem is imbued with a sense of urgency and transcendence, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the evolving landscape of American identity and spirit. Walt Whitman, a pivotal figure in American literature, was born in 1819 and lived through a tumultuous era marked by social upheaval and the Civil War. His experiences as a journalist, teacher, and nurse during the war undoubtedly shaped his profound insights into human suffering and resilience. Inspired by the democratic ideals of his time, Whitman's commitment to embracing the diverse tapestry of life propelled him to craft a body of work that resonates with both personal and collective significance. For readers seeking a transformative literary experience, The Complete Works of Walt Whitman offers a rich panorama of the human soul. This definitive collection serves not only as an introduction to his revolutionary vision but also as an enduring testament to his belief in the power of poetry to foster connection and understanding across the American landscape. Whitman's voice remains a clarion call to embrace the beauty of imperfection and the depth of the human condition.

    If you cast a reasonable doubt in someone, are you responsible for their actions? Especially when that doubt was planted in order to manipulate? 
This is one of the central questions posed in August Strindberg's "The Father," a three act play about a power struggle between the over-domineering Adolf and his wife Laura as they discuss the future plans for their child. All doubts come to a head, however, when Laura points out that a child's paternity can never be proven, and thus, under common law, strips Adolf of his power over the child. Through deceit, treachery, and manipulation, the plan to get rid of "The Father" is set in motion, and only time will tell if Adolf is a madman filled to the brim with jealous rage or righteous fury.

    This historical novel, told in two stories 20 twenty years apart, explores the relationships that unfold on the West Coast of Te Wai Pounamu New Zealand, in the mid-19th century, as isolated, difficult to access parts of the country are entered by European explorers guided by local Maori. 
Set in the 19th Century, it plaits together as a flax-root narrative prose and poetic imagery to tell a timeless love story. It links people with the natural environment, and blends languages, cultures, shared endeavour and compassion in a vivid multi-cultural epiphany of life in Aotearoa-New Zealand. - John Weir
