  This collection of poems is engaging, amusing and sometimes downright hilarious. An occasional dip into nonsense provides a wonderful distraction from everyday worries!
   
  I wrote this book
  So you could look
  To see what I had written,
  And that in a while
  You would smile
  And with its characters you’d be smitten.

  “Olivarez steps into the ‘inbetween’ standing between Mexico and America in these compelling, emotional poems. Written with humor and sincerity” (Newsweek).  Named a Best Book of the Year by Newsweek and NPR.   In this “devastating debut” (Publishers Weekly), poet José Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sorrows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios, and everything in between. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between. Combining wry humor with potent emotional force, Olivarez takes on complex issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and immigration using an everyday language that invites the reader in, with a unique voice that makes him a poet to watch.   “The son of Mexican immigrants, Olivarez celebrates his Mexican-American identity and examines how those two sides conflict in a striking collection of poems.” —USA Today

  Dr Richard Myers, the great IVF innovator, is virtually a secular saint because of the thousands of babies he has created throughout his career. Now, his family have gathered at his home on Manhattan's Upper West Side to see him receive a lifetime achievement award.
  It's not long before this fractious group, more accustomed to debate than empathy, fall into dispute once again: over conflicting Thanksgiving memories, polarised opinions on investment banking, and how best to care for their ailing father. And crucially, who will inherit Richard's wealth and his prestigious science institution?
  A vivid and thrilling portrait of a brilliantly dysfunctional family, Alexis Zegerman's The Fever Syndrome was first produced at Hampstead Theatre, London, in March 2022, directed by Roxana Silbert.

  The emotion and experience of parents' lives is indelible. The physical loss is heart wrenching, however the human psyche holds the memory bank that overpowers our physical presence. In our mind's eye, the presence of our lost parents is just as real, just as vivid, the emotion even more pronounced, even more valued and cherished. There are no physical boundaries that can intervene in the experience of physically loving and safeguarding such precious relationships. This tribute goes way beyond the realms of such deep seated sentiment. In spite of the physical Adieu, their lives continues to be honored and to be an integral part of the lives of their loved ones here on earth. It is one whose significance  should be not only communicated should be not only communicated but most importantly emulated by mankind.An Author's Republic audio production.

  A stunningly ambitious work from one of the UK's most influential playwrights.
  Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before.
  In this fast-moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know. Premiered at the Royal Court in September 2012.
  'This exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope... What is extraordinary about Churchill is her capacity as a dramatist to go on reinventing the wheel' The Guardian
  'The wit, invention and structural integrity of Churchill's work are remarkable... She never does the same thing twice' The Telegraph
  'A wonderful web of complex emotions, memories, secrets and facts' A Younger Theatre
