Sinopse

'Cause when you win, we all win. So you have to keep "winning". Even if you feel like you're losing losing yourself'
Ade is a successful writer, or so it seems. She has everything she ever wanted: her career is flying, she's (kinda) moved out of her mum's house, and her situationship isn't as complicated as she expected. Her life should be perfect! But things don't always go to plan, as Ade is about to find out…
failure project is a warm and witty one-person play exploring grief, the strings attached to success, and what it means to 'fail'.
Written and performed by Yolanda Mercy, it premiered at Summerhall as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024, co-directed with Joseph Barnes-Phillips. It won the Solo Award at the Besties awarded by The Skinny and Fest magazine.

    The year is 878.  Young King Alfred struggles to regain his West Saxon kingdom from the invading pagan Danes led by Gormr (aka Guthrum, aka Godrum).   His kingdom overrun, Alfred joins Gormr's court disguised as a Welsh gleeman.  Gormr consults Alfred as a counselor and wizard, but resists Alfred's attempts to convert him.   Meanwhile Alfred learns that his lady and their children are Gormr's prisoners.  Escaping to the western fens, he leads a small army against the Danes.   The rest is history.  This is an epic poem set in the Old English culture of Christian warriors, i.e., Romanized Germanic former pagans, contending with contemporary Scandinavian Germanic pagans.  The great epic poet Frederick Turner (author of The New World, Genesis, and Apocalypse) called Eþandun "The real Game of Thrones."   Listen to actor-poet-producer Kyle Derek's heroic rendition of this book-length poem!

    From the author of The Baudelaire Fractal, a poetry classic, with new work
    		 
    In 2004, boldly original poet Lisa Robertson published a chapbook, Rousseau’s Boat, poems culled from years of notebooks that are, nevertheless, by no means autobiographical. In 2010, she expanded the work into a full-length book, R’s Boat. During the pandemic, she was drawn back into decades of journals to shape Boat. These poems bring fresh vehemence to Robertson’s ongoing examination of the changing shape of feminism, the male-dominated philosophical tradition, the daily forms of discourse, and the possibilities of language itself.

    Nicholas Vachel Lindsay (November 10, 1879 - December 5, 1931) was an American poet. He is considered a founder of modern singing poetry, as he referred to it, in which verses are meant to be sung or chanted, as they were practiced by the ancient Greeks. Because of his identity as a performance artist and his use of American midwestern themes, Lindsay became known in the 1910s as the "Prairie Troubador." In the final twenty years of his life, Lindsay was one of the best known poets in the U.S. His reputation enabled him to befriend, encourage, and mentor other poets, such as Langston Hughes and Sara Teasdale. The following recordings include "The Congo," "The Mysterious Cat," "The Moon's The North Wind's Cooky," "The Flower-Fed Buffaloes," "General William Booth Enters Into Heaven," and "The Chinese Nightingale."

    Samadhi is a channeled poetry book about finding enlightenment, and awakening the world through the divine light of your soul.  
    This poetry book is for those who are ready to rise as leaders of the new earth, and awaken the world. 
    It's time to discover 
    Your highest light 
    As the stars illuminate 
    The dark of the night 
    And guide the way 
    For those who explore 
    It's time to open the gateway 
    And unlock the door 
    To a life of prosperity 
    And inner bliss 
    Your reality will change 
    When you experience this 
    No longer will you 
    Limit your soul 
    You will discover your essence 
    And find you are whole 
    Allow yourself to reunite 
    With the light of the divine 
    It's time to rise 
    And let yourself shine 
    This channeled poetry book was inspired by my search for enlightenment, and how yogis achieve this state in samadhi. 
    If you’re ready to shine your divine light upon the world, Samadhi The Divine Light will be your lighthouse in the dark!
