Joseph’s poems comprise one of the most essential and visionary bodies of work in contemporary American poetry. No other American poet covers the poetic territory Joseph does, as he invents an imaginatively spacious language global in ambition, acutely attentive to power structures that are violent and create violence, bearing witness to the velocities of historical change embodied in endless wars, unleashed finance capital, racism, and ecological destruction. But his poetry also reflects a deep, sensual intimacy, driven by an awareness of a poetic order in which beauty, love, and justice are indistinguishable. Joseph has written an ongoing chronicle of what it means to write poetry in the turbulent times in which we live. His ever-new, always alive interactions of shifting thoughts, voices, and languages—impacted by his Lebanese and Syrian Catholic heritage, his professional life as a lawyer and legal scholar, and the economies of the world of working-class labor from which he comes—register the speed and multilayered dimensions of our common experience on various spatial, temporal, and social planes. Intellectually and emotionally fierce, laser-like and satiric, phenomenally aligning sight to sound and observation to feeling, meticulously formed, displaying a love of line, shape, and painterly color, Joseph’s poems press back against the high-stakes pressures of our time with a moral and aesthetic intensity not easily forgotten.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917133004958,"sku":"ING-9780374539344","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780374539344.jpg?v=1782786381"},{"product_id":"9780374602918","title":"Sometimes I Never Suffered","description":"Author: Shane McCrae\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780374602918\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Farrar Straus Giroux\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 26 Oct 2021\u003cbr\u003ePages: 112 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning religious, historical, and political themes, the seventh collection from the award-winning poet \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eI think now more than half\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eOf life is death but I can’t die\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eEnough for all the life I see\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn \u003ci\u003eSometimes I Never Suffered\u003c\/i\u003e, his seventh collection of poems, Shane McCrae remains \"a shrewd composer of American stories\" (Dan Chiasson, \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e).

We now live in less confident times, in ways that place great strain on the assumptions and beliefs that made those earlier readings possible. This has led to a new manner of reading Proust, against the grain. In Mirages and Mad Beliefs, Christopher Prendergast argues the case differently, with the grain, on the basis that Proust himself was prey to self-doubt and found numerous, if indirect, ways of letting us know. Prendergast traces in detail the locations and forms of a quietly nondogmatic yet insistently skeptical voice that questions the redemptive aesthetic the novel is so often taken to celebrate, bringing the reader to wonder whether that aesthetic is but another instance of the mirage or the mad belief that, in other guises, figures prominently in In Search of Lost Time.In tracing the modalities of this self-pressuring voice, Prendergast ranges far and wide, across a multiplicity of ideas, themes, sources, and stylistic registers in Proust's literary thought and writing practice, attentive at every point to inflections of detail, in a sustained account of Proust the skeptic for the contemporary reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917357662366,"sku":"ING-9780691155203","price":69.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780691155203.jpg?v=1782787287"},{"product_id":"9780719002106","title":"La Vida de Lazarillo de Tormes","description":"Author: R O Jones\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780719002106\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 02 Dec 1963\u003cbr\u003ePages: 136 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Spanish novella La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidadeswas published anonymously in Alcala de Henares, Burgos and Antwerp in 1554.

He was a communist until 1931, later referring to himself as a 'Socialist without a party and a Christian without a church.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe wrote Fontamara first and foremost as an antifascist, setting it in his own region of Abruzzo, east of Rome.

The story itself is a good read, told with humour and suspense.  The themes embrace politics and religion, revolution and mysticism.

The King's Men performed the play uninterruptedly between 5th and 14th August, 1624 at their Globe Theatre, attracting large audiences, before the Privy Council closed the theatre by the King's command. More recently, growing interest in the connections of economics and politics with authorship have promoted readings that locate the play so firmly within its historical context as propaganda that, again, its worthwhile literary and theatrical qualities are neglected. In writing \"A Game at Chess\", Middleton employed the devices of the neoclassical comedy of intrigue within the matrix of the traditional oral play. What might have seemed old-fashioned allegory was rejuvenated by his adoption of the fashionable game of chess as the fiction within which the play was set. The product of Middleton's experienced craftsmanship is at once deceptively simple and surprisingly complex. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917368475806,"sku":"ING-9780719016349","price":41.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780719016349.jpg?v=1782787311"},{"product_id":"9780719016462","title":"Plays on women","description":"Author: Kathleen McLuskie\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780719016462\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 18 Nov 1999\u003cbr\u003ePages: 432 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology of plays, containing two domestic tragedies and two city comedies, is annotated using contemporary and feminist critical approaches and illustrates the ways in which theatrical pleasures and social relations complicate the connection between women and plays in early modern drama.

Writing about performance as a richly collaborative living art, the author learns from and gives voice to the work of actors, directors, designers and other theatre professionals whose labor and interpretive discoveries have made it possible for audiences to experience the play's multiple potentialities in the theatre.She does this in part by citing from her interviews with directors like Trevor Nunn and Peter Hall and with actors engaged in some of the most significant twentieth-century productions of The Winter's Tale. Dunbar connects her scholarly research, including fresh use of materials in theatrical archives, to her direct experience of those productions she has able to see in performance and, at times, to see develop in rehearsal. Her in-depth analysis of selected significant twentieth-century productions, including cross-cultural productions of The Winter's Tale by the Royal Dramatic Theatre of Sweden (directed by Ingmar Bergman), and the Maly Drama Theatre of Europe, in St. Petersburg (directed by Declan Donnellan), explores how theatre artists have approached the play's most crucial theatrical and interpretive challenges. The book's last chapter, by distinguishedtheatre scholar and performance critic Carol Chillington Rutter, contributes a richly layered and highly engaging comparative analysis of eight of the most important recent British productions of the play.Dunbar makes a significant contribution to understanding The Winter's Tale which will be of great interest to scholars, teachers, and students of Shakespeare, to theatre lovers, and to all involved in productions of the play. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917374505118,"sku":"ING-9780719027413","price":183.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780719027413.jpg?v=1782787324"},{"product_id":"9780719029974","title":"Irish poetry since 1950","description":"Author: John Goodby\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780719029974\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 27 Jul 2000\u003cbr\u003ePages: 368 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrish Poetry since 1950 is a survey of poetry, from Northern Ireland, the Republic, Britain, and the US.
