Sinopsis

A True Story Lucian - Lucian of Samosata (125c.180) was a Greek satirist of Syrian or Assyrian extraction, and True History is perhaps his most well-known tale. In this tale, the protagonist visits the Moon, meets extraterrestrial creatures, and takes part in interplanetary warfare. This piece of fantastical fiction parodies many works such as Homers Odyssey, and is certainly a contender for the title of earliest science fiction story.

Shakespeare's sequence of 154 sonnets deals with such themes as love, time, death, immortality, lust, and sex. The poems follow but also depart from the Petrarchan tradition of sonnets written by a frustrated male lover to an unattainable idealized female beloved. Shakespeare's sonnets are addressed to both male and female lovers: the androgynous "young man" and the alluring yet dangerously sexual "dark lady." (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

Path Through Wood

Sam Buchan-Watts' debut collection considers the capacity contemporary lyric poetry has to reflect social change. The many ethical dilemmas these poems enact listen in to the noise which society makes to distract itself – from carceral space to questions of asylum, masculinity and the boundaries of aesthetic play.

Described by the Guardian as a 'sceptical, serious, versatile writer', Buchan-Watts variously inhabits poetic form, exposing the interplay of sound, sense and desire. Returning repeatedly to the figure of a vulnerable boy approaching the thicket of adolescence, these are poems that are listening in when they're not supposed to, distracted when they should be listening in, and finding secret listeners behind the arras. In this disquieting terrain we must hold ourselves to account for what we hear and what we make of what we hear.

Fragmented into sixteen excerpts, stories or scenes, this brief work by León focuses on the breakup or a couple of unnamed lovers without explicit gender, swept away by the gale of passion and desire, with the moon as their sole spectator and accomplice, and the presence of a cat that serves as witness to the impulses of a love that is hopelessly undone in the misunderstanding of bodies scorched by the fire of the sexes, The work is a heartbroken cry of a lonely, proud individual, overpowered by his own ego in the face of the loss and abandonment of the one who filled his days. And in the other end, silence, and emptiness as the only response.The whole book is imbued with a deeply moving sentimental tone that strikers with the force of a desperate ritornello.
