Sinopse

In "A Selection from the Poems of William Morris," readers are invited to explore the lush and imaginative world of Morris's verse, rich with themes of nature, love, and the transcendent experience of beauty. The collection showcases Morris's distinctive literary style, which melds Medieval influences with the Romantic tradition, often characterized by intricate imagery and melodic language. Morris's deep appreciation for craftsmanship and the natural world permeate this selection, reflecting his broader artistic philosophies and his commitment to aesthetics in every form of expression. William Morris (1834-1896) was not only a poet but also a designer, craftsman, and socialist thinker whose multifaceted talents and interests inform his work. Living in an era of rapid industrial change, he expressed a longing for a return to a more artisanal mode of existence and celebrated the beauty of the handmade. Morris's involvement with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and his foundational role in the Arts and Crafts Movement reveals a dedication to integrating art into daily life, providing a rich backdrop to his poetry. This selection is highly recommended for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty and complexity of Morris's poetry. Whether you are drawn to themes of nature or an appreciation for lyrical craftsmanship, this collection offers a vital entry point into the heart of Morris's imaginative legacy, making it an essential addition to any literary exploration of the 19th century.

    The award-winning, genre-crossing writer demonstrates her power as a funkadelic and formidable feminist voice in this rich and beautiful collection of verse and image—a multi-part retrospective that traverses time, space, and reality to illuminate the expansiveness of Black femme lives. 
    Voted one of the Best Books of 2023 by the New York Public Library. 
    Side Notes from the Archivist is a preservation of Black culture viewed through a feminist lens. The Archivist leads readers through poems that epitomize youthful renditions of a Black girl coming of age in Philadelphia’s pre-funk ’80s; episodic adventures of “the Black Girl” whose life is depicted through the white gaze; and selections of verse evincing affection for self and testimony to the magnificence within Black femme culture at-large. 
    Every poem in Side Notes elevates and honestly illustrates the buoyancy of Blackness and the calamity of Black lives on earth. In her uniquely embracing and experimental style, Anastacia-Reneé documents these truths as celebrations of diverse subjects, from Solid Gold to halal hotdogs; as homages and reflections on iconic images, from Marsha P. Johnson to Aunt Jemima; and as critiques of systemic oppression forcing some to countdown their last heartbeat. 
    From internet “Fame” to the toxicity of the white gaze, Side Notes from the Archivist cements Anastacia-Reneé role as a leading light in the womanist movement—an artist whose work is in conversation with advocates of Black culture and thought such as Audre Lorde, Amiri Baraka, and Nikki Giovanni.

    Raffish, urbane and frequently drunk, David Highland has kept a grip on his remote coastal parish through a combination of disordered charm and high-handed determination.
    When his faith impels him to take a hard line with a bereaved parishioner, he finds himself dangerously isolated from public opinion. As his own family begins to fracture, David must face a future that threatens to extinguish not only his position in the town, but everything he stands for.
    Stephen Beresford's play The Southbury Child is a darkly comic drama exploring family and community, the savage divisions of contemporary society, and the rituals that punctuate our lives. It was co-produced by Chichester Festival Theatre and the Bridge Theatre, London, in 2022, starring Alex Jennings and directed by Nicholas Hytner.
