Sinopsis

The Collected Works of William Cowper presents a rich tapestry of 18th-century English literature, blending intricate poetic forms with personal narrative and keen observation of the human condition. Cowper's work is characterized by its transparent language and emotional depth, addressing themes of faith, nature, and the struggles of mental health. His poignant essays and hymns echo the rising Romantic movement, revealing an essential tension between Enlightenment ideals and the burgeoning value of individual experience and sentiment, making this collection a critical reflection of its time. William Cowper, born in 1731, emerged from a tumultuous life marked by personal tragedy and mental illness, which profoundly shaped his writing. As one of the first poets to articulate the complexities of depression and spiritual doubt, Cowper's works served not only as artistic expression but also as a means of grappling with his own existential struggles. His interactions with contemporaries, such as John Newton, further rooted his verse in the fervent religious revivalism of the time, helping to pioneer a new style of devotional poetry. Recommended for both literary scholars and casual readers alike, The Collected Works of William Cowper offers invaluable insights into the evolution of English poetry and the complexities of the human psyche. Cowper's elegant prose and emotive verse continue to resonate, inviting exploration of the delicate interplay between faith, creativity, and resilience.

    This is a debut collection of poetry read by the author. 
    The specific beauties of the poems in Judy Katz’s How News Travels have to do with their accounts of actual human living—among family, among friends, in the real world, with its griefs and losses and growth, its immersions in time, hour by hour, day by day, its immersions in consciousness. The other beauty here, the perpetual beauty, is the illumination—the afterglow, the underglow, the aurora—with which the poet cradles and surrounds her world. A clarifying, eloquent distillation of the truth of our experience, and a wonderful book.  
    — Vijay Seshadri  
    By exploring presence and absence and presence in absence, Judy Katz creates quietly revelatory elegies and odes for the shifting relationships of mid-life: the death of a mother, the independence of grown children, the intimacy of romance and trust between husband and wife. These poems feel both inevitable and surprising, as they invite us into the passage of time. “There is a trail I can follow–– / each of us leaves it, / our light impress…” she writes, and we are transformed by her attention to detail, fresh imagery, and wonder. This is a collection to savor, for “who can sleep / when it keeps arriving / over and over / the world, the world.”  
    — Ellen Bass 
    The voice is so alive, often so playful—and again and again, you will find yourself in a dialogue with the unknowable....How News Travels is a stunning book.  
    — D. Nurkse

    'I seen you looking at me. Like that. You gonna deny it? Go on. I swear down, Mark – deny it.'
    It's Year 10's first day back at school. Mark is new and too scared to make friends. Darren is out of control and too scary to make friends. The two of them need each other – but neither would ever admit it.
    Worlds apart, but more similar than they realise, the pair form a complex and manipulative relationship. And before they know it, they're embarking on a dangerous experiment that will alter the course of their lives.
    Sophie Swithinbank's play Bacon is an unflinching and unexpectedly humorous look at masculinity, sexuality and power, through the dizzying lens of youth.
    The play was first produced at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2022, directed by Matthew Iliffe, before touring in 2023 to Riverside Studios, London; Summerhall, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe; and Bristol Old Vic. First developed on the Soho Theatre Writers' Lab, Bacon won the 2018 Tony Craze Award, three Off-West End Awards (Best Director and two Best Performance in a Play awards), and the Peggy Ramsay Foundation and Film 4 Award for 2023.
