Life Is Like a Cookie Jar: The Poetry of Caryl VanAlstyne Shugars

Life Is Like a Cookie Jar: The Poetry of Caryl VanAlstyne Shugars

Caryl Shugars

Caryl Shugars
2020
nidottu
Life Is Like A Cookie Jar is a book of poetry that captures common moments of everyday living and presents them to readers from a fresh, discerning perspective that is in turn surprising, delightful, humorous, whimsical, and inspiring. While it is often lighthearted it is also deeply thoughtful. Ordinary actions like "Folding Napkins," "Dusting," or the command to "Answer the Door" are transformed. There are poems for when you feel like dancing, "Dancing Body-Singing Heart," and poems for when you need "Spiritual Direction." There is celebration of "Joi deVivre" and acknowledgement of occasional moods of "Gloom and Doom" with a remedy for it. This poetry is optimistic whether "Collecting Lightning Bolts," "Romancing the Years," or "Bumping Heads With TIme."

One of Europe's greatest playwrights, Caryl Churchill has been internationally celebrated for four decades. She has exploded the narrow definitions of political theatre to write consistently hard-edged and innovative work. Always unpredictable in her stage experiments, her plays have stretched the relationships between form and content, actor and spectator to their limits. This new critical introduction to Churchill examines her political agendas, her collaborations with other practitioners, and looks at specific production histories of her plays. Churchill's work continues to have profound resonances with her audiences and this book explores her preoccupation with representing such phenomena as capitalism, genocide, environmental issues, identity, psychiatry and mental illness, parenting, violence and terrorism. It includes new interviews with actors and directors of her work, and gathers together source material from her wide-ranging career.

Slavery is a recurring subject in works by the contemporary black writers in Britain Caryl Phillips, David Dabydeen and Fred D’Aguiar, yet their return to this past arises from an urgent need to understand the racial anxieties of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Britain. This book examines the ways in which their literary explorations of slavery may shed light on current issues in Britain today, or what might be thought of as the continuing legacies of the UK’s largely forgotten slave past.In this highly original study of contemporary postcolonial literature, Abigail Ward explores a range of novels, poetry and non-fictional works by these authors in order to investigate their creative responses to the slave past. This is the first study to focus exclusively on British literary representations of slavery, and thoughtfully engages with such notions as the ethics of exploring slavery, the memory and trauma of this past, and the problems of taking a purely historical approach to Britain’s involvement in slavery or Indian indenture. Although all three authors are concerned with the problem of how to commence representing slavery, their approaches to this problem vary immensely, and this book investigates these differences.

Helen Thomas examines the ways in which Caryl Phillips responds both creatively and critically to the psychological effects of cultural dispersal, racism and economic exploitation in the black Atlantic. Highlighting the continuing negotiations between Britain and its previous colonies, this study demonstrates the ways in which Phillips’s fictional and non-fictional work reformulates contemporary and historical traumatic crises and corresponding agents of survival. Phillips’s work is discussed not only in terms of critical emphasis upon past events, but also in terms of its vision of a more expansive dimension of collective experience.

The volume traces the scope and development of Caryl Churchill’s theatre from her early writing for radio and television, through her stage career of the 1970s and 1980s to her recent major success Far Away (2000). Making use of contemporary critical and feminist theory, the study offers close dramatic and theatrical readings of the plays highlighting Churchill’s concerns with feminism, socialism and theatrical style. A key chapter on ‘The Woman Writer’ examines those plays, including Cloud Nine and Top Girls, which brought Churchill to the attention of the international feminist theatre academy, and links Churchill’s emergent feminism to her personal struggle to combine a career in the theatre with motherhood. Detailing the international success of play such as Serious Money and Mad Forest, alongside some of the lesser known and lesser studied earlier work, this accessible account illustrates how Churchill has come to be recognised as one of the leading playwrights of our contemporary theatre.

Caryl Churchill's Eco-Socialist Feminism

Elaine Aston

Cambridge University Press
2025
nidottu
Pivotal to Caryl Churchill's What If If Only (2021) is the ghost of a democratic future that never happened. Framed by What If If Only, if-only yearnings for a democratic future are seminal to this Element with its primary attentions to the feminist, socialist and ecological values of Churchill's theatre. Arguing for the triangulation of the latter, the study elicits insights into: the feeling structures of Churchill's plays; reparative strategies for the renewal of an eco-feminist-socialist politics; the conceptualisation of the 'political is personal' to understand the negative emotional impact that an anti-egalitarian regime has on people's lives; and relations between dystopian criticality and utopian desire. Hannah Proctor's notion of 'anti-adaptive healing' is invoked to propose a summative understanding of Churchill's theatre as engaging audiences in anti-adaptive, resistant feelings towards a capitalist order and healing through a utopic sensing that an alternative future is desirable and still possible.

Caryl: A Sylvie and Bruno Fairy Tale

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

nidottu
One of the many things that partially explain the undying fascination with Charles Dodgson (a.k.a., Lewis Carroll) are the numerous mysteries that swirl around him and fuel speculation and theories. Many of these are probably unsolvable, though Edward Wakeling has managed it for several of them over the years, at least to the satisfaction of many Carrollians. The author is equally fascinated with these mysteries and in this, his own fairytale, offers a theory that solves them all. The primary question he asks is: "Why did Lewis Carroll believe in fairies?" Using this key he offers answers to other mysteries, including: "Who really wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass? Why are the two Alice books so different? Why did he really choose the pen name of Lewis Carroll? Why is "The Walrus and The Carpenter" thrown into the middle of a chess game? Why did he waste the final years of his life writing the Sylvie and Bruno books? What were Dodgson's deathbed confessions / revelations to his sisters, who never revealed what he told them? Why did someone destroy and/or damage some of the volumes of his Diaries? Read on, dear reader, and open your mind to one possibility that is perhaps no less believable than many others...OK, perhaps impossible to believe before breakfast. It might take you until lunchtime.
