  1. 📚 The Disappearers by: Marlon James

    In 1988, eight men in Kingston, Jamaica, begin rehearsals for a play, a modern masterpiece titled Fortune and Men's Eyes by Canadian playwright John Herbert. The men are strangers to one another and each has a different reason for being involved. But they all share one inescapable truth: All o...

  2. A somber literary scene unfolds as a young poet gazes out at a river view, their thoughts consumed by creative turmoil and introspection.

  7. tonight wake

    tonight   wake
    when late winter returns
    home your inmate

    in your nightgown
    with your candle kneel
    beside your bed and shiver

    after you go to bed
    after you go to sleep

    when the horizon's become a purse
    that today's early summer's
    returned her sun to

    when the warm breath
    of today's spring's been
    expelled from your chamber into the

    late winter's dawn at dusk

    the cold air seeps into your cell through
    gaps between the casing and the shutter
    between the door frame and the door

    through cracks
    in mortar and masonry he oozes
    in inhaled

    the late winter returns
    home not to warm you out of your bed
    but to freeze you in

  8. 📢 New Book Alert!

    📜 'Synopses and Lists: Textual Practices in the Pre-Modern World' is out now!

    Textual practices in #premodern societies cover many representations, from the #literary to the #pictorial. Among the most intriguing are #synopses and lists. While lists provide a complete enumeration of ideas, people, events, or terms, synopses juxtapose one against the other.

    To understand how they were planned, produced, and consumed, is to gain insight into the practices of what one can call the management of #knowledge in a time before our own.

    This volume offers a #historical and transcultural perspective on synopses and lists, highlighting the centrality of these textual practices to allow storing, retrieving, selecting, and organising this knowledge. Both make deliberate – yet not always explicit – choices as to what is included and excluded, thereby creating lasting hierarchies and canons.
