In this debut poetry collection, Bobbie Isabel explores the pressure women face to constantly be strong, and the exploitation they endure when the world will not let them be soft. Employing a combination of free verse and more traditional forms, Bobbie expresses the female perspective of strength and resilience through pain, trauma, and ultimately hope. Within poetic expression, she has found her voice, as the poem "Keeping Silent" says, that speaks for the little girl she was, that comforts her tormented adolescent self, and that fortifies the broken woman she has been with boundaries of empathy and compassion for who she was at each stage and what she lived, understanding that her tears were not silent but rather screams of injustice. This collection of poetry comes from a place of pain; even the poems of hope grew from those ashes. Therefore, there will be subjects some will find difficult to read.Ver libro

The Unrooted Bloom is a deeply personal poetry collection by Amber Allen-Peirson that explores themes of racial identity, belonging, and the complexities of navigating life as a biracial woman in a racially divided society. Through lyrical and evocative language, Amber’s writing captures the internal struggle of reconciling her Black and White heritage, often torn between two worlds that don’t fully accept her. Her style combines vivid imagery with raw emotional honesty, drawing the reader into her journey of self-discovery and the tension she feels between multiple identities. The collection also delves into the intricate dynamics of family, exploring how generational trauma, love, addiction, and complicated relationships have shaped her sense of self. Grief plays a central role in her work, reflecting the loss of loved ones, both through death and emotional distance, and how this grief intertwines with her search for identity. Amber’s resilience shines through, offering a powerful narrative on healing and the strength required to rebuild after hardship. The Unrooted Bloom is a profound exploration of what it means to exist in the space between, encouraging readers to embrace the complexities of their own identities while finding strength in their multifaceted selves.Ver libro
'This is the story of how we met, fell in love, and fucked it up. But it's not just our story. It's his, and his and theirs. Maybe it's yours…' Manchester, 2017. During a hot and sweaty queer warehouse party, two damaged hearts collide. He is HIV+ and drowning in shame. They are one microaggression away from a full-on meltdown. Together, they form a bond so tight, they might just survive it all. But sometimes survival means knowing when to leave. Pulling back the glittery curtain of pride to reveal the devastating impact of generational HIV stigma, racism, homophobia and repressive gender norms, Nathaniel J Hall's Toxic is a powerful, passionate play celebrating survival and the resilience of the queer spirit. Inspired by true events, it was first performed at HOME, Manchester, in 2023, before touring the UK in 2025, directed by Scott Le Crass, and performed by the playwright alongside Josh-Susan Enright. 'An intimate portrayal of queer love, aching with authenticity, pain and joy' Russell T DaviesVer libro
'Here I am, weightless / now take me home' So That You Know is the quintessential Mani Rao collection. These are poems that hold the playful exuberance of youth and the dazzling insight of age; that are at times measured, at times extravagant. What unites them is their commitment to mining deep into the recesses of the heart and offering moments of ecstatic revelation. 'Every morning you would breathe me fly,' says the poet, and one can feel the words take wing. Mani Rao's work has, over the years, acquired a reputation for battering against the doors of poetic convention, experimenting with form and language, and untethering images so they run fast and thick. Part visual, part text, So That You Know stands testimony to the mischief and anarchy of her poetry. If Mani Rao's language has been described as 'molten lava', here is the book that reminds you why. Each stanza-searing, incandescent, unstoppable.Ver libro
Alexander Woollcott called Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, "the man who wrote the most enchanting nonsense in the English language." Besides his many stories, Lewis Carroll wrote nonsensical poems. Eleven of his poems appear here, the most famous of which being Jabberwocky, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and The Hunting of the Snark. Narrator Griffin Rogers recorded Jabberwocky as a Christmas present for his son before spending the next several years recording additional nonsense whenever he was able to find an unlocked window and sneak into a recording studio. (If that sounds like a lot of nonsense to you, you will love this audiobook - and so will your children.)Ver libro
