For now, the day seems to say, Let the ordinary amaze, it''s the grace we hold . . . Hamilton rests her sights on what can be apprehended from a bed, sofa, chair, or window, and named in the quotidian. These small recognitions ensure a life''s weightiness, wariness, worthiness'' Claudia RankineWho becomesTrade ReviewFull of delicate and muscular truths and graced with rare intelligence, this posthumous volume offers the gifts of a uniquely sensitive mind. * Publisher's Weekly (starred review) *For [Hamilton], history is made of tiny, intimate moments, and the poems remember the pleasures of museum visits, summer afternoons, conversations with friends...

Little, Brown Book Group Death Styles
Book Synopsis''McSweeney is one of our most dynamic poets'' Nick Ropatrazone, The Millions''I''ve never read anything by Joyelle McSweeney that wasn''t totally exciting'' Dennis CooperOne of LitHub''s Most Anticipated Books for 2024In this follow-up to her award-winning collection, Toxicon and Arachne, Joyelle McSweeney proposes a link between style and survival, even in the gravest of circumstances. Setting herself the task of writing a poem a day and accepting a single icon as her starting point, however unlikely - River Phoenix, Mary Magdalene, a backyard skunk - McSweeney follows each inspiration to the point of exhaustion and makes it through each difficult day. In frank, mesmeric lyrics, Death Styles navigates the opposing forces of survival and grief, finding a way to press against death''s interface, to step the wrong way out of the grave.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Alchemist
Book SynopsisA fast-paced whirlwind of fantasy and mockery confined to a single room, The Alchemist offers a witty culmination of Jonson''s experiments with city comedy. The play has been widely recognized as one of the most impressive achievements of the period''s theatre; Coleridge famously described it as one of the three most perfect plots in literature. Yet it is a notoriously difficult play: its alchemical language has aged into obscurity, and its insiderly humour can seem impenetrable to students approaching it for the first time. This comprehensively annotated edition translates and illuminates the play''s many pleasures and shows how Jonson''s cynical, street-wise wit resonates with our contemporary sensibilities. Pollard highlights the play''s witty ingenuity, while offering the information and guidance to enable students to understand and enjoy The Alchemist fully.Table of ContentsList of illustrations General editors’ preface Preface Introduction Jonson in 1610 London Alchemy Sex, Generation and Family Literary Alchemy: Collaborating with Authors Alchemy of Place: London, Blackfriars, Playhouse Staging Revivals: Collaborating Across Periods Staging the Page: Textual History Later Editions Folio Paratext THE ALCHEMIST Appendix: Casting The Alchemist Abbreviations and References Abbreviations used in notes Works by and partly by Shakespeare Works by and partly by Jonson Editions of The Alchemist collated Other works cited Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Josephine and I
Book SynopsisJosephine Baker: captivating performer, political activist and international icon, who lived from 1906 to 1975.From the ragtime rhythms of St Louis and the intoxicating sounds of 1920s Paris, to present-day London, Josephine and I intertwines the story of a modern-day girl with that of one of the greatest, yet largely forgotten, stars of the twentieth century.Cush Jumbo stars in the premiere of her debut play, which centres on the legendary American entertainer and her impact on a contemporary young woman. Live music combines with dance to bring to life the contemporary legacy of a woman Ernest Hemingway described as the most sensational woman anyone ever saw, and ever will.Trade ReviewAn exhilarating whizz through the star's life . . . From the ingenious trickery of its opening scene . . . to its half-triumphant, half-elegiac ending, Cush Jumbo’s solo show, based on the life of Josephine Baker, effervesces with energy and charm . . . by turns funny, touching and thought-provoking. -- Jane Shilling * Telegraph *Ingenious ... this multi-layered structure of Jumbo playing a character who plays a character - becomes revealing ... a sparkling show with a light touch and a big reach. -- Sarah Hemming * Financial Times *Tour de force is a fancy phrase that shouldn’t be used lightly. Sometimes, though, you just have to go nuclear with your nouns — such as when describing this triumphant one-woman show, written and performed by Cush Jumbo. -- Dominic Maxwell * The Times *An exploration of the difference a black woman can make - now as well as then - and, incidentally, a celebration of the power of theatre to tell the human story ... sensational ... Shocks, surprises and political points are deftly popped in among the laughter and the glitz. -- Heather Neill * Stage *A dazzling tour de force by this truly brilliant performer ... Separately, the two strands reflect the lives of two particular individuals; intertwined, they achieve a universal resonance ... Entertaining, poetic, political, this is a tremendous production. -- Clare Brennan * Observer *A short show that, in the best possible sense, leaves you longing for more: more knowledge of its fascinating muse, Josephine Baker; more great parts for its jaw-droppingly talented author and star, Cush Jumbo. but also more time to discuss afterwards the serious points it raises about race and gender, today and in Baker's lifetime ... a brave, exhilarating 100 minutes that redefine Josephine as less flapper, more rights-fighter, and pose important questions about her legacy. -- Patricia Nichol * The Sunday Times *Sympathy, charm and panache ... Josephine and I grows increasingly engrossing and trenchant as Jumbo interweaves apparently autobiographical anecdotes about her own career in the entertainment industry. -- Kate Bassett * Independent on Sunday *

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC New Monologues for Women
Book SynopsisNew Monologues for Women features forty monologues from plays published by Bloomsbury Methuen Drama recently. The monologues are selected by the editor, Geoffrey Colman, on account of their relevance to drama school students and recent graduates entering the profession. Each monologue is preceded by an introductory paragraph, written by the editor, outlining the setting, character type, and point in the plot. Suggestions are offered for staging, character interpretation, points of significance in the text, and how to draw from decisions made in professional productions.This collection is the go-to resource for the auditioning actor with an insatiable appetite for new, original and excellent material.Trade ReviewThis is a strong proposal and I feel that there is a solid market for this collection. It is important that young actors are aware of new writing and that they use new monologue material for their audition pieces. This will prove that they are up-to-date with new plays, emerging writers and trends. The readership will be young actors auditioning for drama schools, professional work and even television or film work. It will be also of interest to playwrights, directors and producers looking for new plays. This collection might also increase the sales of the plays themselves. It has been known that a director may choose a play, simply because the trigger was the main monologue of that work. So, the readership is not limited or focused on the acting profession. * Dr George Rodosthenous, University of Leeds *
