Synopsis

A Season in Hell is an extended poem written and published by French writer Arthur Rimbaud. The book had a considerable influence on later artists and poets, for example the Surrealists.  Henry Miller was important in introducing Rimbaud to America in the sixties. He once attempted an English translation of the book and wrote an extended essay on Rimbaud and A Season in Hell titled The Time of the Assassins. The poem is loosely divided into nine parts, some of which are much shorter than others. They differ markedly in tone and narrative comprehensibility, with some, such as "Bad Blood," 'being much more obviously influenced by Rimbaud's drug use than others, some argue. Academic critics have arrived at many varied and often entirely incompatible conclusions as to what meaning and philosophy may or may not be contained in the text, and will continue to do so.

    Safia Khan's Too Much Mirch dwells in the ambiguities of human relationships, exploring how people and communities can be lifted up or let down by those around them. Sharp and sensitive in their imagery, these poems apply an empathetic lens to every subject they meet – family members, bullies, a cadaver in an anatomy lesson.

    Aditi Sharma, a young prodigy from Delhi, lives a life defined by her brilliance and passion for innovation. Known for her groundbreaking projects in artificial intelligence and low-cost technology, she dreams of creating tools to better humanity. But her extraordinary talents have made her a target for dangerous forces. Aditi's innovations attract shadowy figures from both India and abroad, including a ruthless cartel. 
    Unbeknownst to her, a network of operatives begins surveilling her every move. Narrowly escaping through her quick thinking and the chaos of Delhi’s crowded streets, she is thrust into a world of danger where she must use her intellect and determination to survive. 
    As shadowy figures close in and her family’s safety hangs in the balance, Aditi must navigate a treacherous web of deceit, greed, and power. Her brilliance, once a beacon of hope, has become a dangerous liability. But amidst the threats and betrayals, Aditi clings to the possibility of escape and the hope that her genius might one day free her from her captors—and change the world on her own terms.

    They say you can’t catch a fish with a hook.  
     
    It’s 1925, a world on the cusp of change. Hitler has published Mein Kampf and Mussolini has shut down the free press in Italy. 
     
    Three friends meet on a Scottish estate for a weekend of salmon fishing and convivial conversation over brandy and cigars: Winston Churchill, future world leader, ‘Bendor’, 2nd Duke of Westminster and Coco Chanel, iconic fashion entrepreneur. The narrative develops into a visceral account interspersed with sharp and insightful humour, revealing two men whose deep friendship is divided by their profound political differences, as each of them tries to navigate an uncertain world. 
     
    And then there is Coco Chanel, also an accomplished angler and Bendor’s mistress. She enters wearing furs and exits wearing waders. 
     
    In Winston & The Duke, Rory Fellowes delivers a thought-provoking play that invites the audience to question: 
    Have we learned anything from history?Should we pay attention to past events rather than purge them for comfort’s sake?Can controversial friendships exist openly and provoke change in today’s political arena?  
     
    That is for the listener to decide. 
     
    Winston & The Duke was developed through WIN: Writers Innovative Network and was directed by Maureen Payne-Hahner.

    At the core of this debut collection is a question – what is worth holding onto?
    Through poetic experiments that blend the academic and the artistic, Rhiya Pau queries complex characters and tender landscapes. Routes journeys from Ba's kitchen in Sonia Gardens to Independence hour in Delhi, across the pink shores of Nakuru, to meet a painter on Lee High Road.
    Celebrating fifty years since her community arrived in the UK, Pau chronicles the migratory histories of her ancestors and simultaneously lays bare the conflicts of identity that arise from being a member of the East African-Indian diaspora. In this multilingual discourse exhibiting vast formal range, Pau wrestles with language, narrative and memory, daring to navigate their collective fallibilities to architect her own identity.
    '[Routes]...holds up to the light the wisdom of the past, and asks what else is passed down along with it...a work of humane intelligence, formal experiment and linguistic verve' - Sarah Howe, Judge of Eric Gregory Awards 2022
