Summary

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
Murder. Madness. Magic. In Macbeth, William Shakespeare unleashes his most haunting tragedy—a gripping exploration of ambition's deadly price.

When brave Scottish general Macbeth encounters three mysterious witches, he receives a chilling prophecy: he shall become king. Consumed by desire and urged on by the ruthless Lady Macbeth, he plunges into a spiral of betrayal, bloodshed, and guilt. But as the crown is won, the cost becomes unbearable.

Written around 1606, The Tragedie of Macbeth is a compact masterpiece of psychological torment, political intrigue, and supernatural foreboding. With unforgettable characters, chilling soliloquies, and iconic imagery, it remains one of Shakespeare's most powerful and performed plays.

"A terrifying meditation on unchecked ambition and moral decay." — The New York Times
"Shakespeare's shortest tragedy—yet among his most powerful." — Harold Bloom
"Still strikes like lightning on the stage and the page." — Goodreads Reviewer

Perfect for fans of dark literature, dramatic tragedy, and timeless theatre, Macbeth continues to captivate readers and audiences more than 400 years later.

    Comprised of four heroic crowns of sonnets, Alicia Mountain’s Four in Hand is both formal and experimental, ranging from lyric romantic and familial narratives to blank verses of reconfigured found text pulled from financial newsletter emails. Language and white space equally captivate with their sparsity and abundance as Mountain pursues the implications of national political identity with intersectional awareness. These poems interrogate our collective complicity in late-stage capitalism, drone warfare, the election of Donald Trump, environmental degradation, mental health crises, and the dawn of Covid-19 through the lens of gay poetic lineage, regionalism, and familial kinships structures. With one enthralling image after the other, Four in Hand builds a world that carves out necessary space for lesbian gaze, speakership, and personhood. From the back corner of a vast, sprawling, yet gorgeous landscape of thought, Mountain's poems beckon us inside.

    An authentic exploration of the real RumiAs one of the world's most loved poets, Rumi's poems are celebrated for their message of love and their beauty, but too often they are stripped of their mystical and spiritual meanings. The Gift of Rumi offers a new reading of Rumi, contextualizing his work against the broader backdrop of Islamic mysticism and adding a richness and authenticity that is lacking in many Westernized conceptions of his work. Author Emily Jane O'Dell has studied Sufism both academically, in her work and research at Harvard, Columbia, and the American University of Beirut, and in practice, learning from a Mevlevi master and his whirling dervishes in Istanbul. She weaves this expertise throughout The Gift of Rumi, sharing a new vision of Rumi’s classic work.At the heart of Rumi’s mystical poetry is the “religion of love” which transcends all religions. Through his majestic verses of ecstasy and longing, Rumi invites us into the religion of the heart and guides us to our own loving inner essence. The Gifts of Rumi gives us a key to experiencing this profound and powerful invitation, allowing readers to meet the master in a new way.

    These poems pause for the spectacle: cloning technologies, super-slo-mo photography, narcotic cab rides. Making fun of consciousness, they describe a system of tripwires, pitfalls and decoys that this notion of daily viewership entails. These poems are paeans to our facility for duplicity and self-deception, where the act of living becomes more and more like watching a film in which we play no role.
