  'I wanted to put you bang in the picture. Apprise you of the difficulties. Because, in case you hadn't noticed, he's a human fucking boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!'
  A world-famous children's author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And a chance to make amends…
  It's the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won't die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
  Inspired by real events, Mark Rosenblatt's debut play Giant offers a nuanced portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon – and explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.
  The play was first performed to great acclaim at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Nicholas Hytner with a cast including John Lithgow as Dahl. It transferred to the West End the following year, and won the Olivier and Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Play. Mark Rosenblatt won Best Creative West End Debut at the Stage Debut Awards in 2025.

  My Mind My Hand Writes 
  By R. Omar Casimire 
  My Mind My Hand Writes is more than a poetry collection—it is a living archive of consciousness, memory, ancestry, spirit, travel, loss, resilience, and revelation. Spanning more than four decades of writing, this body of work gathers over 140 poems composed from the late 1990s through 2025, forming a deeply personal yet historically resonant literary journey. Each poem stands alone as a moment of reflection, but together they form a unified testament to a life lived with awareness—of history, of family, of faith, of injustice, and of love. 
  At its core, My Mind My Hand Writes is a declaration of creative immediacy. The title itself speaks to the unfiltered connection between thought and expression—the sacred instant when consciousness flows directly into language. There is little separation between reflection and inscription. The mind conceives; the hand records. What results is poetry that feels intimate, spontaneous, and honest

  The iconic Star Trek actor, known for playing Captain Kirk, and New York Times–bestselling author delivers a unique, moving memoir in poems and lyrics. 
  You know him from his voyages on the Starship Enterprise, as veteran cop T. J. Hooker, and Boston Legal lawyer Denny Crane. He's starred in his own one-man show on Broadway and has collaborated with Ben Folds, Brad Paisley, and others on his records. His spoken-word albums have been critically acclaimed, portions of which complement his latest reflections in Wisdom & Worries.
  As he nears the century mark, William Shatner is still boldly exploring new frontiers, including his own inner universe. In the pages of Wisdom & Worries, he looks back on his childhood in Montreal, his acting career, his connection with nature and animals, and the loves of his life. In soulful, rhythmic verses, Shatner reflects on his journey to find his place and uncover meaning in the world. 
  Shatner's poems, set to music across five albums, span a life lived with passion and purpose, including "Clouds of Guilt," his collaboration with Joe Jonas; "So Far from the Moon," lamenting the breakup of his first marriage and a low point in his career; "The Lion on the Wall," a nursery rhyme written for his grandchildren; and "So Fragile, So Blue," the poignant impressions he experienced during his space flight on Blue Origin at the age of ninety-one.
  Shatner's latest works have been hailed as possessing "a surprising depth of feeling" (The Washington Post) and as "unexpectedly poignant . . . less performance, more reckoning" (The Guardian). Wisdom & Worries contains multitudes. Curiosity, regret, connection, loneliness, and gratitude tie together a portrait of a man with an unlimited capacity to appreciate every moment of the past and all those yet to come.

  The Great Poems by African...

  Phillis Wheatley, Frances E. W....

  African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley. Before the high point of enslaved people narratives, African-American literature was dominated by autobiographical spiritual narratives. The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives. The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s was a great period of flowering in literature and the arts, influenced both by writers who came North in the Great Migration and those who were immigrants from Jamaica and other Caribbean islands.
