    Housman himself knew that his output as a poet would not be large. In his preface to this volume, he wrote, rather touchingly:  
"I publish these poems, few though they are, because it is not likely that I shall ever be impelled to write much more." He pulled Last Poems together because his life-long friend, Moses Jackson, was dying and Housman wanted Jackson to be able to read these poems before he passed away.The work in this volume is more varied in form and content than in his first book, and shows a change of heart, a greater acceptance of the human condition, along with a more impersonal voice. His sense of the finality of life is strong: Dead clay that did me kindnessI can do none to youBut only wear for breast-knotThe flower of sinner's rue. Yet, if anything, his voice is gentler, his spirit calmer and more accepting, and his sense of the eternal stronger than in his first book.  Enjoy!

    Things are going to be different. Very different...
1838, London. Jacob Marley is dead. And so is Ebenezer Scrooge…
In this reinvention of the timeless classic, Ebenezer has died and his sister Fan has inherited his money-lending business. She rapidly becomes notorious as the most monstrous miser ever known, a legendary misanthrope, lonely, and despised by all who cross her path.
This year, on Christmas Eve, Fan Scrooge will be haunted by three spirits. They want her to change. But will she?
This stage adaptation of Charles Dickens's Christmas tale is by renowned author Piers Torday. Christmas Carol: A Fairy Tale first came to life in the Dickensian environment of the world's oldest-surviving music hall, Wilton's Music Hall, London, in December 2019.
It will prove a festive gift for amateur theatre companies seeking an original, female-led version with lashings of goodwill to all men – and women.
