Hoping It Might Be So - Kit Wright - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Hoping It Might Be So - Kit Wright - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Hoping It Might Be So brings together all of Kit Wright''s previous collections for adults as well as three dozen new poems. The collection, first published in 2000, was described by Christina Patterson in the Sunday Times as ''funny and profoundly humane'' and by Sophie Hannah in the PN Review as ''full of verve and energy, with a strong musical quality that makes you want to read on and hear more''. Sean O''Brien in the Times Literary Supplement described Kit Wright as ''a masterly yet modest poet'' while Ruth Padel in the Independent on Sunday said that ''all through his work there is that poignancy, darkness, brush with despair, which marks great comic work.'' The poet Anthony Wilson said that Wright ''can be funny, serious and moving, and sometimes all three in the space of a single poem''. Hoping It Might Be So is a rewarding collection from an interesting, prolific and lively poet whose poems range from ribald to grief-stricken, elegiac to rambunctious.

Emergency Kit - - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Emergency Kit - - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Emergency Kit is an anthology with many differences. It is, to begin with, a book which gives prominence to poems rather than to the poets who wrote them. It is truly international, bringing together poems not just from these islands but from many parts of the English-speaking world. It is the first book to identify a strain in the poetry of the last half-century which is characteristic of the ''strange times'' we live in - an age when, as the editors note, scientific discovery itself has encouraged us to ''make free with the boundaries of realism''. It values imagination, surprise, vivid expression, the outlandish and the playful above ideology and sententiousness. It is, in short, living proof that poetry in the English language continues to thrive and to matter.

A Test to Destruction - Henry Williamson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A Test to Destruction - Henry Williamson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A Test to Destruction (1960) was the eighth entry in Henry Williamson''s fifteen-volume A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight spanning the years from the late Victorian period to the Second World War. It begins in the final year of the Great War. After the harsh winter of 1917 everyone is nearing the limits of their endurance. Hetty, temporarily relieved to have Phillip safely home, hopes desperately that her son will not be posted to France again. Phillip, however, is determined to go back, and adds his name to a list of those available for service. After returning to the Front, however, he is injured and sent on convalescent leave in the West Country, where his post-war civilian life begins. ''Williamson''s style is romantic, though rarely sentimental, and his sensuous response to nature is fresh and surprising.'' Anthony Burgess, Ninety-Nine Novels: The Best in English since 1939

How do we loosen things up and get snap and vitality into our performance at the same time as keeping the figure stable and solid?The answer: successive breaking of joints to give flexibility.In this mini, Williams stresses the importance of knowing where the weight is on every drawing. He demonstrates that the best way to show weight is to be aware of it, conscious of it, and think about it all the time - knowing where the weight is coming from, where it’s traveling over and where it’s transferring to.

So, all the things we do with walks, we can do with runs.This Mini presents a collection of Williams’ runs, jumps and skips inspired by some of the cleverest artists from the Golden Age of Animation

DIRECTING, DIALOGUE AND ACTING From Richard Williams’ The Animator’s Survival Kit comes key chapters in mini form. The Animator’s Survival Ki t is the essential tool for animators. However, sometimes you don’t want to carry the hefty expanded edition around with you to your college or studio if you’re working on just one aspect of it that day.

Easy to study.This Mini focuses on Directing, Dialogue and Acting. As a director, whatever your idea is, you want to put it over, so the main thing with directing is to be clear – very clear. The Director’s job is to hold everything together so that the animator can give the performance. Richard Williams shows how that performance can be achieved with flexibility and contrast. With Acting and Dialogue, the temptation is to try to do everything at once – Williams’ advice: do one thing at a time.

West Indies at Lord's - Alan Ross - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

West Indies at Lord's - Alan Ross - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Every so often a Test match offers such high drama as to transcend the series of which it was part. Such a battle was the second Test between England and West Indies at Lord''s in June 1963. Wisden called it one of the most dramatic played in England. Alan Ross''s eyewitness account amply evokes its excitement. Lord''s was packed with supporters of both sides, and the two teams, led by Ted Dexter and Frank Worrell, were very strong. West Indies had Garry Sobers and the pace attack of Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith, against whom Dexter''s first innings 70 was noteworthy. Fred Trueman took 11 wickets for England, though he could not stop a colossal century by Basil Butcher. But England''s final innings run-chase would be distinguished by one courageous knock from Brian Close, and a commensurately brave effort by Colin Cowdrey.

Black British Lives Matter - Marcus Ryder - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Featuring essays from David Olusoga, Dawn Butler MP, Kit de Waal, Kwame Kwei-Armah, and many more. In response to the international outcry at George Floyd’s death, Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder have commissioned this collection of essays to discuss how and why we need to fight for Black lives to matter – not just for Black people but for society as a whole.Recognising Black British experience within the Black Lives Matter movement, nineteen prominent Black figures explain why Black lives should be celebrated when too often they are undervalued. Drawing from personal experience, they stress how Black British people have unique perspectives and experiences that enrich British society and the world; how Black lives are far more interesting and important than the forces that try to limit it.“We achieve everything not because we are superhuman. We achieve the things we achieve because we are human. Our strength does not come from not having any weaknesses, our strength comes from overcoming them” Doreen Lawrence."I always presumed racism would always be here, that it was a given. But the truth is, it was not always here, it was invented." David Olusoga“Our identity and experience will shape every story, bleed into every poem, inform every essay whether it’s about Black ‘issues’ or not” Kit de Waal

On Raftery''s Hill''This is a play that howls to be seen; its courage is matched only by its dramatic power.'' Sunday Independent Ariel ''An astonishing piece of theatre. Interweaving themes drawn from Irish, Greek and biblical myth, she spins a tale of power that is honest, emotional, dark and true . . . Die to see it.'' Irish Examiner Woman and Scarecrow ''Drama doesn''t come much richer or stranger than this death-bed lament. Ravishing in its dense, literary language, it is as visceral as it is intellectual. It lingers not only in the ear and brain, but in the imagination and the gut. An extraordinary brew, bittersweet and totally intoxicating.'' The Times The Cordelia Dream ''A brave piece and clearly charged with deep feeling. . . This is certainly unsettling territory and Carr boldly goes for it.'' Financial Times Marble ''An extraordinary play that lures us in with a promise of the recognisable only to drag us screaming into the soaring, magnificent possibilities of love and the destruction that it wreaks.''

Adventures in Animation - Imogen Sutton - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Adventures in Animation - Imogen Sutton - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Triple-Oscar-winning, world-renowned animator – and author of the seminal book The Animator’s Survival Kit – Richard Williams’ legendary career in the world of animation is brought to the page here for the first time.Written with his wife and collaborator, Imogen Sutton, Adventures in Animation follows the life and career of this pivotal figure in animated features, from the influential moment when, aged five, Williams saw Snow White, right through his career of more than sixty years. Over those decades, Williams created full-length features, short films, title sequences for films and hundreds of commercials – all of which were graced by his characteristically elegant, sinuous lines and magnificent imagination. Williams’ place in animation history is assured: he directed the Academy Award-winning 1971 adaptation of A Christmas Carol and perhaps most famously worked as Director of Animation on Who Framed Roger Rabbit , for which he won two Academy Awards. Serving as the linkman between the original creators of the world of Disney ( Snow White , Dumbo , The Jungle Book ) and the current generation of digital animators ( Toy Story , The Incredibles and Ice Age ), it is fair to say that his like will not be seen again.Williams’ first book, The Animator’s Survival Kit, and the masterclasses he ran, saw him pass on his hard-won craft to future generations of animators. In Adventures in Animation , the story of the man behind the images will inspire them all over again, bringing more animators and fans of animation to the life and work of this master of the artform.

Ranji - Alan Ross - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Indian prince, Sussex and England cricketer, K.S. Ranjitsinhji was unique in many ways. W.G. Grace predicted that there would not be another batsman like ''Ranji'' for a hundred years; arguably we are still waiting. His prodigious run-scoring ability alone assured his place in the annals of cricket, but his talents transcended statistics. His batting married subtlety and strength in a way that was quite new to the game, and he was a ''character'' and crowd-pleaser from his century-making test debut in 1896 to his withdrawal from cricket in 1907 after he was installed as Jam Saheb of Nawanagar. ''A splendid memorial... In Alan Ross, Ranji is perfectly matched with one of the best writers the game ever attracted.'' Guardian ''A gem of a book.'' Yorkshire Post
