Beschreibung

J. M. Synge's 'Deirdre of the Sorrows' is a compelling tragedy that delves into themes of love, sacrifice, and destiny. Written in a poetic and lyrical style, the play is set in ancient Ireland and follows the story of Deirdre, a beautiful and passionate heroine whose tragic fate is sealed by a prophecy. Synge's use of vivid imagery and powerful language creates a haunting and atmospheric world that immerses the reader in the folklore of Celtic mythology. The play's exploration of the conflict between personal desire and societal expectations makes it a timeless and thought-provoking piece of literature.J. M. Synge, a key figure in the Irish Literary Revival, drew inspiration from his research of Irish folklore and legends to write 'Deirdre of the Sorrows'. His deep understanding of Irish culture and his skillful storytelling combine to create a poignant and impactful work of art. Synge's exploration of themes of fate and human nature resonate with readers on a universal level.I highly recommend 'Deirdre of the Sorrows' to readers who appreciate poetic language, rich symbolism, and stories that explore the complexities of human emotions and relationships. This play is a masterpiece of Irish literature that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless themes and haunting beauty.

    Malkin is a vivid evocation of the trials of the Pendle Witches in 1612. The sequence of poems is delivered in the form of epitaphic monologues, with the accused men and women eerily addressing the reader with their confessions and pleas. Strikingly, Camille Ralphs has employed unorthodox spelling throughout the monologues, bringing out new meanings in familiar words and encouraging the reader to immerse themselves in the world of the poems. Fully illustrated with woodcut-style drawings from Emma Wright.

    Whilst this given name and the poets included can seem at first glance broad and unmanageable the name both historically and artistically is a near perfect fit. Those poets that pledged support to Charles I, a connoisseur and patron of fine arts, were in the main courtiers or closely aligned.  Among their number were Robert Herrick, Richard Lovelace, Thomas Carew and Sir John Suckling. 
    These poets shied away from verse on religion or philosophy but mused instead on love, joy and simpler things very much living for the ‘now’.  And their verse achieves this with a beauty and potency that, despite their powerful and privileged position, speaks for us all. 
     This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of Karawane by Hugo Ball. This was the Weekly Poetry project for December 5th, 2010.Ball wrote his poem "Karawane," which is a German poem consisting of nonsensical words. The meaning however resides in its meaninglessness, reflecting the chief principle behind Dadaism.Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922.[1] The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art manifestoes, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchistic in nature.(summary from Wikipedia)
