  First published in 1914, the King of Alsander is the only novel by James Elroy Flecker, best known as a poet, but also a noted scholar, linguist and diplomat.   Flecker's love of learning, language and travel, and his keen satirical insight into politics are all in evidence in this phantasmagoric tale.  As the author himself describes it:  Here is a tale all romance - a tale such as only a Poet can write for you, O appreciative and generous Public - a tale of madmen, kings, scholars, grocers, consuls, and Jews: a tale with two heroines, both of an extreme and indescribable beauty: a tale of the South and of sunshine, wherein will be found disguises, mysteries, conspiracies, fights, at least one good whipping, and plenty of blood and love and absurdity: a very old sort of tale: a tale as joyously improbable as life itself. - Summary by Algy PugCast list:Norman Price: Phil BensonJohn Oggs: Phil BensonLabourer: Phil BensonMrs Gaffekin: Michele EatonNancy: Michele EatonPeronella: Michele EatonMalsprita: Michele EatonGuard: Michele EatonCrowd: Michele EatonVicar: Patrick WallaceOld Man: Patrick WallaceWilliam Price: Patrick WallaceCanthrop: Patrick WallaceCesano: Patrick WallaceWizened Man: Patrick WallaceConsul: Patrick WallaceVorza: Patrick WallaceColonel: Patrick WallaceVicar’s Daughter: Eden Rea-HedrickWidow Prasko: Eden Rea-HedrickShopkeeper: Eden Rea-HedrickPresident: Eden Rea-HedrickArnolfo: Eden Rea-HedrickIanthe: Eden Rea-HedrickDrakina: Eden Rea-HedrickCuvas: Eden Rea-HedrickPeter Smith: Eden Rea-HedrickLady: Eden Rea-HedrickJohn Gaffekin: Alan WeymanKing: Alan WeymanButler: Alan WeymanDoctor: Alan WeymanClerk: Alan WeymanMakzelo: Alan WeymanFather Algio: Alan WeymanCaptain of the Guard: Alan Weyma

  'Visionary and powerful. I loved it.' Hollie McNish
  The female body is a political space.
  C+nto enters the private lives of women from the butch counterculture, telling the inside story of the protests they led in the '90s to reclaim their bodies as their own – their difficult balance between survival and self-expression. History, magic, rebellion, party and sermon vibrate through Joelle Taylor's cantos to uncover these underground communities forged by women.
  Part-memoir and part-conjecture, Taylor explores sexuality and gender in poetry that is lyrical, expansive, imagistic, epic and intimate. C+nto is a love poem, a riot, a late night, and an honouring.
  minds. Here is poetry that defends our right to walk without fear, wear what we choose, be who we uniquely are." - - Diana Souhami

  The Kentucky Cycle

  The Pulitzer Prize–winning cycle of one-act plays spanning two centuries of American history: “hauntingly memorable [with a] poetic impulse” (Time).   One of the most important contemporary works of political theater, The Kentucky Cycle was awarded the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for its astute and dramatically epic investigation of the brutal birth of America. Set in the Appalachian Mountains and spanning seven generations—from 1775 to 1975—this saga of rural Kentucky digs beneath our American mythology to confront the truth of our national history.   It is the story of three families whose lives are irrevocably intertwined as they struggle for control over a portion of the Cumberland Plateau. From the darker realities of our pioneer heritage to the bloody lessons of the Civil War, and from the Unionization of coal miners to the harsh environmental legacy of strip mining, this fascinating work chronicles the lives of ordinary people struggling to find a better place for themselves in an unpredictable world.   “Serious drama with a dark center . . . an epic.” —The New Yorker   “Riveting theater . . . [a] monumental work.” —Los Angeles Times
