Описание:

How unbelievably dull my life was. I did everything I was supposed to. I was such a good girl. I lived in the house he chose and cleaned a dead woman's furniture. I bought hats, who the hell wears a hat? And all the time I wanted to scream because I was so bored.

On one dark and stormy night in the upper day room of the Silver Retirement Home, five elderly women are trading stories of their remarkable (or sometimes unremarkable) lives. With the storm floods rising and no rescue team in sight, the ladies are faced with the sudden realisation that in order to survive they are going to have to do what they have done for their entire lives - do it themselves

Silver Lining is a hilarious comedy by Sandi Toksvig. It tells the tale of a group of extraordinary yet forgotten women, who come together one treacherous night to recreate The Great Escape - senior-citizen style.

It received its world premiere at the Rose Theatre, Kingston, on 3 February 2017 in a production by English Touring Theatre and Rose Theatre, Kingston.

Описание:

"From Nothing" is a poignant reflection on life by a supremely talented poet who is battling cancer. While the themes and imagery trace the dark nature of sickness, Silver's poems nonetheless shine with optimism, allowing readers deeper insight into the hope/despair dichotomy that defines living with this illness.

Описание:

Passionately written and perfectly crafted, Anya Krugovoy Silver's poems help us to view life through a different lens. In I Watched You Disappear, she offers meditations on sickness but also celebrations of art, motherhood, and family, as well as a sequence of poems based on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.

Throughout her collection, Silver examines feelings of pain, anger, and urgency caused by a serious illness and presents the struggle to cope in a lyrical and moving way. Never overwhelmed by her own mortality, Silver manages to speak with beauty and grace about a terrifying subject.

In her poems based on Grimm's fairy tales, Silver subtly and surprisingly interweaves retellings of these tales with reflections on life and death. Infinitely touching, engaging, and finely tuned, Silver's poems invite us to look at the lives we love in new and profound ways.

Описание: Charles Sweeny was the heir to a fortune, but instead of a life of comfort, he became a warrior for causes he believed in. This richly detailed book uses Sweeny`s personal papers, historical documents and photos to tell the amazing true story of America`s most celebrated soldier of fortune, who was a life-long friend of Ernest Hemingway and a role model for the novelist`s fictional manly heroes.

Описание: These twelve poems in which he intends to publish has been a coping mechanism for him. He recalls a song by Dan Behar, a Canadian musician, who sang these infamous lines: "I write poetry for myself. I write poetry for myself." These poems take in the theme of a fight. These entities he intends to fight are the voices that would attack him daily (psychosis). The third poem in this collection tells of that fight Ali became obsessed with, which goes as follows: My sin is to conquer I shall conquer and conquer From high hill to low valley I shall conquer all the land.
