Sinossi

Walter Scott's "Poetry" is a compelling collection that encapsulates the breadth of Romantic verse, showcasing his masterful command of language and diverse poetic forms. Infused with themes of chivalry, history, and the natural landscape, the collection reflects the era's fascination with the past and national identity, employing vivid imagery and rhythmic elegance that engage the reader's senses. Scott seamlessly weaves narrative and lyric, often drawing upon Scottish folklore and historical events to create a tapestry that honors cultural memory while exploring universal human experiences. A pivotal figure in the development of the historical novel, Scott's background as a Scottish law clerk and a quintessential Romanticist informs his poetic vision. His deep appreciation for Scotland's languid history and stunning scenery is reflected in the emotive and evocative quality of his work. Scott's childhood experiences, coupled with his social and political contexts, led him to articulate a voice that resonates with the collective memory of his nation, thereby amplifying his literary significance. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking an immersive exploration of Romantic poetry and its socio-cultural implications. Scott invites readers into a world where history and imagination converge, making "Poetry" an essential addition to the library of anyone invested in the evolution of modern literature.

Makeover - Poems

Laurie Bolger

Makeover is a book dripping with nostalgia, cigarette ash and sour cream dip. Lit by too-close TV screens and too-bright calorie counters, Bolger's poems explore growing up, differing bodies and societal expectations.
Writing in praise of mums, nans and sisterhood, this is a work bursting with strength, anger, love and, ultimately, hope. In a celebration of girls shaped by swimming baths and Working Men's Clubs, friendship and family, Makeover contends with what we inherit and what we ought to pass on.

You Are Here - Poetry in the...

Ada Limón

In recent years, our poetic landscape has evolved in profound and exciting ways. So has our planet. Edited and introduced by the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limón, this book challenges what we think we know about "nature poetry," illuminating the myriad ways our landscapes—both literal and literary—are changing. 
 
 
 
You Are Here features fifty previously unpublished poems from some of the nation's most accomplished poets, including Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto González, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more. Each poem engages with its author's local landscape—be it the breathtaking variety of flora in a national park, or a lone tree flowering persistently by a bus stop—offering an intimate model of how we relate to the world around us and a beautifully diverse range of voices from across the United States. 
 
 
 
Joyful and provocative, wondrous and urgent, this singular collection of poems offers a lyrical reimagining of what "nature" and "poetry" are today, inviting listeners to experience both anew.

The Brightening Air

Conor McPherson

'You'll remember how much of living is really just forgetting.'
The family home is more than a building. It's a destination of pilgrimage, an inherited investment, a repository of memory or magic. But, for brother and sister Stephen and Billie, home is all they've got. Mucking along in their decaying farmhouse, they're doing just fine.
That is, until the arrival of an ex-clergyman uncle with an unscrupulous plan, a sister-in-law seeking a miracle, and a prodigal brother hell-bent on trouble…
An entrancing tale of fate, family and unseen forces in 1980s Ireland, Conor McPherson's play The Brightening Air was the winner of the Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. It was first performed at The Old Vic, London, in 2025, directed by the playwright.
