  Amid the stately arches of a centuries-old New England campus, a quietly unassuming but brilliant poetry professor delivers the most important lecture of his life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness and determined to leave something lasting behind, he reveals long-guarded secrets gleaned from an extraordinary upbringing among rare books and eccentric mentors in Hay-on-Wye, Wales. 
  From ancient manuscripts to hidden scribbles, his words come alive in stories of resilience and love, hope and loss, culminating in a simple yet profound “Happiness Formula.” Guided by three transformative attitudes—Passion, Tempo, and Awareness—and built upon the pillars of Love, Balance, and Values, his teachings illuminate a path toward genuine, enduring joy. 
  In this poignant fictional account, his son—author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II—pieces together the professor’s final poetry class of 2017, weaving in firsthand testimonies from entranced students and precious archives rescued from near destruction. Their vivid recollections form a testament to life’s fragile beauty and the power of a well-lived day. 
  Enter The Happiness Triangle, the first volume of The Equilibrist Series: a heartfelt tale of a teacher racing against time to bestow a timeless gift. Rich with poetry, philosophical insight, and a dash of romance, this novel reminds us that real magic resides not in lofty ambitions or chance events, but in the everyday moments where we dare to live fully, love boundlessly—and discover happiness for ourselves.

  What difference in a little poetic structure?  Across 17 traditional forms of poetry–from ballad and sonnet to ghazal and ZaniLa Rhyme–writer, podcaster, and educator Steve Chisnell juxtaposes similar poems in both traditional styles and free verse, "Poetry of Form and Release," to explore the effects of poetic construction on meaning itself. Along the way, his speakers find their lives torn, unraveled, or dangling as they wrestle with aging, memory, love, myth, and the promise of language. From Waywords Studio, Chisnell's first book is a layered and provocative collection rich in ironies and meanings found not merely in its words but in the patterns beneath them, not merely in the verse but in the spaces between. The book includes an extensive section of author notes on the inspiration for the poems and as a primer on the meaning in forms. More extensive materials for classroom students and teachers are also available.

  Mad Are We is a story about first connection, first love and first loss, through the eyes of an autistic teenage girl. 
   
  When teenage Imogen meets Sabrina, something shifts. She experiences a kind of friendship that feels real in a way she hasn’t known before. For once, she isn’t constantly second-guessing herself — what to say, how to respond, how to be. Slowly, the mask Imogen has carefully built to navigate the world begins to loosen, and parts of herself she usually keeps hidden start to surface. 
   
  Mad Are We explores the loneliness and disconnection that can come from sensory overwhelm and trying to follow unspoken social rules, alongside the intensity and relief of finally feeling understood. It is a story about first connection, first love and first loss.

  'Once they've been here long enough, they're no longer squatters. Then they're simply…
  Neighbours.'
  In the quaint suburban community of Stillwater, a mysterious shack springs up from the dust with the inhabitants nowhere to be seen. As speculation abounds, new residents Sihle and Bonolo are recruited by their neighbourhood to be the face of a campaign to demolish the shack.
  Funny, thrilling and provocative, Amy Jephta's play A Good House is an explosive exploration of race, resentment and community politics, about a couple who discover the limits of good neighbourliness and what is required to fit in.
  It was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Nancy Medina, in a co‑production with Bristol Old Vic in association with The Market Theatre, Johannesburg. It was shortlisted for the 2026 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

   The heart is always calling us to listen intently as the seasons turn, listen intently through the wheel of the year, listen intently as each month whispers with divine intent. 
  When listening to these poems, I invite you to find a place where you can listen intently, a place where all things stand still and you feel the whispering of each month. 
  Listening intently is the path to forgiveness, empathy and compassion, the path to seeing ourselves in each other. Listen now, listen intently as each month whispers with divine intent.
