The Page and the Fire
In this unique anthology, the great figures of Russia's 'silver age' - Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam, Pasternak to name but its brightest stars - reveal how they, despite the great geographical and social distances that often divided them, maintained an intimate, almost metaphysical, kind of contact with one another through poems written in homage to (or indeed, in memory of) one poet by another.

The Music of the Prophets: The Resettlement of the Jews in England, 1655-56
In 1290 the Jews were banished from England. In 1655-56, Jews once more became a part of British society, returning to the London of Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Pepys and Henry Purcell. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of this return, Michelene Wandor has written a sensuous dramatic narrative poem, evoking seventeenth-century London, and telling the story of the two men who made this return possible: Cromwell and Menasseh Ben Israel.
