  The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.   
  In this volume we bring together those professionals whose services we require when our health falters.  Their skills and manner guide us through the sometimes difficult journey back to restored vigour.  In their clever use of words and verse they are equally adept.

  For Charly, every day is the same. Things used to be different, when there was Clo, but now there isn't Clo, and Charly doesn't want to dwell on that. She just wants to chug coffee, blast Beastie Boys and deal drugs. Simple.
  But when Charly suffers a power cut, she's forced back into the real world of knock-off Morrisseys, disapproving mothers and, ultimately, a world she has to navigate alone.
  Lady Dealer is a mile-a-minute, one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress about forgiveness, the exhaustion of trying, and mistaking self-destruction for self-preservation.
  It premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

  Gregor Samsa wakes up each morning, quietly leaves the house to take the same train, and works to pay off the family debt.
  But that world explodes one morning, when Gregor awakes to find himself changed. To those around him he is dangerous, untouchable vermin. Worse than that, he is a burden.
  Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka's shocking tale of cruelty and kindness, has been a literary landmark since it was first published in 1915. Lemn Sissay's thrilling stage adaptation is a visceral and vital depiction of humans struggling within a system that crushes them under its heel. It was commissioned and first produced in 2023 by Frantic Assembly, in a co-production with Theatre Royal Plymouth, Curve, MAST Mayflower Studios, and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, and was directed by Scott Graham.

  A cruel conqueror has captured the Spanish city of Fuente Ovejuna. As his reign of terror builds, the townspeople look within themselves to find the courage to overthrow him. The eminent Spanish playwright Lope de Vega based his best-known play on a historical incident that took place in 1476. Written in the early 17th century, the play remains a timely meditation on honor and selflessness in the face of oppression.

  Progress : Is a Precious Stone. 
  Something the world seeks, just as much as Gold, or precious gems. 
  With progress, there's no going backwards only forwards, but you can look back at the progress you've made. 
  This is a short, no nonsense poem that gets to the heart of what it wants to say, and points the way :)  
  It leads to the future, from the depths of the past.

  When Silence Screams

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Some stories are whispered. Hers roars from the shadows. 
   
  Liv has mastered the art of pretending — pretending she’s okay, pretending she’s strong, pretending she can outrun the echoes of everything she’s survived. But silence has a way of catching up. 
   
  From childhood scars buried beneath perfect smiles to the relationships that promised rescue but brought more ruin, Liv’s life is a tightrope walk between chaos and clarity. Each chapter unravels secrets too heavy to hold, choices too painful to forget, and a voice that’s fought too long to stay unheard. 
   
  But this isn’t just a story of survival. 
  It’s a mirror. A message. A map. 
   
  When Silence Screams doesn’t just take you through Olivia’s journey — it walks beside your own. At the end of every chapter, powerful life lessons pull back the curtain on pain, healing, faith, and freedom. For every woman who’s ever questioned her worth, every girl who’s carried what she couldn’t name, this book becomes more than a memoir — it becomes a guide to coming home to yourself. 
   
  This is not a story of tragedy. 
  This is a story of becoming.
