Meanwhile by Cynthia Rodriguez
This volume contains H. G. Wells s 1927 novel, Meanwhile; or, the Picture of a Lady. This novel was written by Wells after being inspired by an unknown lady that he saw in the garden of La Mortola in Ventimiglia. It sprang into existence without any forethought, and offers a unique insight into the mind of this accomplished author. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a seminal English writer whose notable works include The War of the Worlds (1897) and The Time Machine (1895). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
"Cynthia has a profoundly distinct voice which, coupled with their razor-sharp insightful view of the world has created a beautiful, heart breaking and hilarious collection of poetryCynthia takes no prisoners in this dissection of what it means to be 'other', to not feel that you quite fit in one world or another but fall between the cracks and they explore that in all its rich and undiscovered imagery. This collection really is a very special thing." - Jess Green
Mexican-British writer and performer, constantly experimenting with the possibilities of spoken word. International, intersectional and interdisciplinary, they use poetry to convey everyday realities that may remain untold in media; particularly about feminist and queer issues, cultural and countercultural shock, mental health and self-preservation. Born in Monterrey in 1986, Rodríguez moved to Bristol in 2010 to then settle in Leicester in 2012 after a brief stint in Salford. In 2015, they began frequenting open mic nights such as Jess Green’s Find the Right Words. The following year, they joined Mouthy Poets in Nottingham. Three years later, they were part of the De Montfort University team at UniSlam. Rodríguez has opened for renowned artists such as Lydia Towsey, Hannah Swings, Caroline Bird, La John Joseph and Jamie Thrasivolou. Their work has been published on various zines, including The Black Flamingo Zine (edited by Dean Atta in collaboration with Tate Britain) and the anti-xenophobia Do Something (edited by Selina Lock). Two of their poems were featured in Welcome to Leicester, anthology edited by Emma Le
