  Once more the year begins.  The first month of the Gregorian calendar. Cold winds howl, the landscape shivers, frost, snow, ice are the many blankets for the land.  Daylight is thin, it arrives late and leaves early ceding the hours to shadow and the ink of night.

  language I'll say yes from the top of my rib cage language will you come out and unearth the salt the certitude
   
  Between the verbs quivering and streaming, White Piano unfolds its variations like musical scores. A play of resonance between pronouns and persons, freely percussive between prose and poetry, and narrating a constellation of questions, White Piano offers readers a 'language that cultivates its own craters of fire and savoir-vie.'
   
  'At once achingly aware of mortality and hell-bound in its determination to press forward, change, and grow, White Piano is as brave as it is linguistically rich.'
   
  – Quill & Quire
   
  '[Brossard] writes with a poetic intensity that burns select lines and sometimes entire paragraphs into the reader's mind.'

  Worldly Things

  Michael Kleber-Diggs

  “Sometimes,” writes Michael Kleber-Diggs writes in this winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, “everything reduces to circles and lines.”In these poems, Kleber-Diggs names delight in the same breath as loss. Moments suffused with love—teaching his daughter how to drive; watching his grandmother bake a cake; waking beside his beloved to ponder trumpet mechanics—couple with moments of wrenching grief—a father’s life ended by a gun; mourning children draped around their mother’s waist; Freddie Gray’s death in police custody. Even in the refuge-space of dreams, a man calls the police on his Black neighbor.But Worldly Things refuses to “offer allegiance” to this centuries-old status quo. With uncompromising candor, Kleber-Diggs documents the many ways America systemically fails those who call it home while also calling upon our collective potential for something better. “Let’s create folklore side-by-side,” he urges, asking us to aspire to a form of nurturing defined by tenderness, to a kind of community devoted to mutual prosperity. “All of us want,” after all, “our share of light, and just enough rainfall.”Sonorous and measured, the poems of Worldly Things offer needed guidance on ways forward—toward radical kindness and a socially responsible poetics.

  A play set in a council house in a small Leicestershire town. Vincent's skiing on the Wii, Sheila's feeding her great-granddaughter McKenzie, and Kerry's getting on with the ironing. None of them are planning on voting in the election, but when Selina Snow rings the doorbell to canvas, perhaps she can change their minds, or they can change hers.
  This play was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, in 2010 as part of the Women, Power & Politics season.

  Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s classic poem, read by Diana Quick. 
  Written in blank verse, Aurora Leigh is Browning’s self-styled ‘novel in verse’, a first-person narration of the lives of Marian Erle and the eponymous Aurora. Travelling across Florence, London, and Paris, and playing off the works of Anne Louise Germaine de Staël and George Sand, Aurora Leigh is one of the greatest poems of the nineteenth century. 
  The top quality of Browning's work is evident in the vivid descriptions of Florence, London, and Paris. The best of her poetic prowess is showcased in the intricate narrative of Marian Erle and Aurora Leigh. 
  For fans of American Renaissance Books (Walden), Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson (The Early Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson), Stephen Greenblatt (Renaissance Self-Fashioning), Elaine Showalter (Maude by Christina Rossetti, On Sisterhoods and A Woman's Thoughts About Women By Dinah Mulock Craik), and Salman Rushdie (Languages of Truth).
