		<description><![CDATA[By Jon Ironmonger Theatre doth protest so much methinks – since the rhetoric of 6th Century Athens, drama has been weaved together with the expression of political ideas. And dramatic activism is nothing new. A lazy name was coined in the 1960s: Guerilla Theatre, as journalists sought to describe a riot of outlandish performances in defiance of Capitalism and the Vietnam War. Now in the second decade of the new millennium, theatre in London takes countless forms. But it is more than a creative spark which spurs players from the stage to the street and from paying audiences to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For our first Poetry Response we invited responses to Georges Szirtes&#8217;s double sonnet &#8220;Rough Guide&#8221;. Szirtes was born in Budapest in 1948 and arrived in England as a refugee in 1956. The poem comes from his collection REEL, which was published by Bloodaxe Books in 2004: Rough Guide Your image destroys itself, remakes itself, and is never weary. Octavio Paz, The Prisoner. Impossible to look directly into another’s eyes. Impossible to look into your own. You read the dense book of being like a document you flick through. Eyes, even an inch apart, are blurs, clouds, like the concept of yesterday which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[George Richards The main Egyptian battle tank is called the Ramses II, but really it is a Russian-made T-54 of Cold War vintage, upgraded by the Americans at Egypt’s request in the 1980s.  In any case, the Egyptian armed forces have a fleet of these tanks, more than 200 of them, and they have had their part to play in this year’s Revolution. At first, the Ramses II was beloved of the “lions of Tahrir”, decked in garlands of flowers, Egyptian flags flying from their cannon-barrels, children with their faces painted red climbing onto the turrets and into the arms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Caleb Klaces Three recent collections of poetry from the United States show the new ways old texts are being collaged, parodied and taken apart to make poems their previous authors couldn’t have imagined. In This Nest, Swift Passerine (2009), Dan Beachy-Quick is a deferential intermediary. Emerson opens the book and Thoreau closes it. Those in-between include Dorothy Wordsworth, Keats, Meister Eckhart, Milton, Ovid and Heidegger: not hidden gems, and Beachy-Quick does not disguise them. He quotes at length and intact, shepherding old tropes – wings, webs, stars, light – gently into the present. The book’s three sections each comprise three [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tom Flynn All serious artists, be they writers, musicians, poets or painters, seek a state of equilibrium between their conscious and subconscious mind. It is in the creative tension between the two that artists find their own authentic voice. In this new group of paintings and prints, Lucie Bennett has taken a significant stride towards that goal. Bennett&#8217;s work has always been grounded in her past experiences,informed most notably by a childhood spent between the languid humidity and dazzling colours of India and Burma, where her father held military and diplomatic posts, and the regimented froideur of English boarding schools [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last week of September, Noamoa artist management presented the much anticipated new works of critically-acclaimed London based painter Lucie Bennett. &#8216;Orange Blossoms&#8217; &#160; Representing a significant development in her work, Bennett explores female sexuality and identity as the body appears to be in the process of transformation or symbiosis, increasingly becoming part of a landscape or amorphous jungle. Plant-like forms are juxtaposed with bodily references to create a compelling ambiguity in which the female form elides into abstract patterning. Somehow offering a subtle new interpretation of the visual interplay between the female, the feminine, and nature itself.  Bennett [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It had pretty much been over before it had begun. Again. Admittedly, though, there had been a fair bit of foreplay. Especially if you counted the game of footsies they had played under the table at Wagamama’s. Vincent was inclined to count that. And it wasn’t as if he hadn’t gone out with style. He’d managed to pull out and get the rubber off in time to execute a porn-star finale. He hoped this might have helped him save face. Like he meant to do it. It was less apologetic that way, and he’d heard women were not into apologetic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Annabel Howard meets Steve Nelson: fun, witty, Scouser. Also extraordinarily well-informed, devoted geographical and mental explorer, and undervalued sculptor. Like his work, Steve Nelson is eclectic. I walk into his small square studio and see bits of cities: thickly painted plastic castaways, old oil-cans, pseudo-plaster tourist tat, animal skins, broken pipes, a miniature hand-made house – human detritus collected and carefully re-crafted by a traveller and town-dweller. The studio is tactile and inviting, and I absent-mindedly touch a small bronze cart that rests on a piece of charred driftwood. Steve laughs and holds it to the light: “This is a piece [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My writing partner informs me that ‘Young Girl’ is pushing one million views. ‘Young Girl’ is a skit written by Andrew Gaynord about a bloke who reluctantly brings his new girlfriend to the pub, and ashamedly tells his friends that she’s only 8 years old. Spoiler alert: she’s not. My writing partner’s eyes widen at the milestone. One million views. That’s serious return for a comedy sketch. ‘Spread it around,’ he says. Admittedly, he’s in the thing, but there’s camaraderie between online comics, who like to see each other’s work defeat the evil deluge of videos of cats being cats [...]]]></description>
