  On the Subject of Fallen Things

  "you start every new day with an inventory: a moth, a cape, a parachute, a coffin, a gun, the wall you built to mount the gun."
  On the Subject of Fallen Things is an addictive, Chekhovian metanarrative: phenomenological, absurd, and dripping with black humour. James Kearns' speaker keeps company with Lazarus, an inept psychic, and a deceased superhero, but finds himself increasingly alone—lost in dialogue with mortality, both personal and anthropological. Permanence, culpability, the function and corruption of human storytelling: all come into play in a surge of momentum that grips the reader, even as it breaks apart: a lean explosion, a gunshot in the distance.
  "On the Subject of Fallen Things weaves whimsy into narrative epiphanies that you never see coming. Each line aggregating weight like the lightness of snowflakes gathering into an avalanche. Hugely enjoyable. Get it now." Roger Robinson, A Portable Paradise, Winner of the 2019 T.S. Eliot Prize
  "This is a really brilliant sequence of poems. Like Ponge, or Herbert, or Steger, or Simic, it manages to be both serious and fleeting, weighty and funny. It's hopeful, actually." S.J. Fowler, 3:AM Magazine

  'I am strength
  I am power
  I am courage
  I am revolution
  I am Amber Rai'
  Amber is trapped – by her family's rules and expectations, and by her own fears. But on the running track she feels free. As her body speeds up, the world slows down. And the tangled, mixed-up words in her head start to make sense...
  It's time to start a revolution: for her mother, for her sister, for herself. Run, Amber. Run.
  Manjeet Mann's multi-award-winning verse novel, Run, Rebel, about a young woman beginning to take control of her life, was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2021 and won the CILIP Carnegie Shadowers Choice Award, a UKLA Book Award, a Diverse Book Award and the Sheffield Children's Book Award.
  This fast-paced, mesmerising stage version, adapted by the author, was first produced in 2023 by Pilot Theatre, with Mercury Theatre, Colchester, Belgrade Theatre Coventry, Derby Theatre and York Theatre Royal. This edition also contains a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.
  'Mann's brilliant, coruscating verse novel lays out the anatomy of Amber's revolution, and the tentative first flowerings of hope and change'Guardian

  Paradise Lost

  John Milton

  Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by the Puritan English poet John Milton between 1658 and 1663, and published in 1667. This is a period of English history which encompasses the end of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
  Perhaps reflecting some of his country's turmoil during Milton's life, Paradise Lost deals with revolution in Heaven by Satan and his followers against God, their defeat and banishment to Hell, and their subsequent plotting of revenge, leading ultimately to Satan beguiling Eve in Paradise to taste the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge against the explicit command of God. Milton's vivid and poetic description of these events is both dramatic and compelling. The work gained swift acceptance and has always remained a popular and important part of English literature.
  Originally published in ten books, a second edition was published in 1674 arranged into twelve books, the form in which it appears here.

  'the song soil sweat of it knowing nothing ofa binary bondage a bountiful mess of myself everything under the sun is changing all thetime all my skin soft lovers flocking to the river'
  Olivia Douglass' new pamphlet takes us into the shape-shifting experiences of young selfhood, family and what it means to be between worlds. Douglass' poetry is like a strong shot of the good stuff, an irresistible introduction to this multi-talented artist.
  'The poems of Unruly Blood are careful, dangerous, sparse; full. Each space held within it sings as much as its words do, its every phrase simmers first before spilling over with untold possibility.'  Victoria Adukwei Bulley
  'An artist of the body, in Unruly Blood, Douglass transmits physical sensation to the page with rapturous fluidity. Expressive of the joy and pain of every kind of love, their work sings with exciting originality.' Erica Wagner
  'Olivia Douglass is a new, clear voice and these are deep, intriguing, dangerous poems.' Brian Eno
