Synopsis

Ash and Anya were happy, just the two of them. Then the baby came.
Ash has spent the first two weeks of his son's life trying to work out where he fits. He watches his mother holding her grandchild for the first time, mesmerised by the mystery and delight of a new life. After she leaves, Ash watches Anya feeding their son – so close, almost intertwined.
As sleepless nights, relentless crying and hushed arguments take their toll, a storm starts to grow as a chasm widens between Ash and his son, his wife and even his own mother.
Lifting the roof off one family's home, The Cord is a brutally honest and moving insight into the challenging truths of family dynamics. It premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, written and directed by Bijan Sheibani.

Disponible depuis: 24/04/2024.

Kundalini is a channeled poetry book about spiritual awakening and finding balance in our lives.  
This poetry book is for those who are going through spiritual awakening and want to find their centre. 
The kundalini energy

And create new space 
For the beautiful life 
That you want to live 
Find love in your heart 
And learn to give 
This is the energy 
That will awaken the Earth 
And allow us to move 
Through planetary rebirth 
This channeled poetry book was inspired by my kundalini awakening experience, and my journey to find balance in life. 
If you’re going through a kundalini awakening, and looking for answers, Kundalini The Energy Of Awakening will guide you back to balance!

Judas Goat - Poems

"Stellar . . . with great humanity, grace and precision." —Nicole Sealey, author of Ordinary Beast 
 
 
 
Gabrielle Bates's electric debut collection Judas Goat plumbs the depths of intimate relationships. The book's eponymous animal is used to lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared, and its harrowing existence echoes through this spellbinding collection of forty poems, which wrestle with betrayal and forced obedience, violence and young womanhood, and the "forbidden felt language" of sexual and sacred love. These poems conjure encounters with figures from scriptures, domesticated animals eyeing the wild, and mothering as a shape-shifting, spectral force; they question what it means to love another person and how to exorcise childhood fears. All the while, the Deep South haunts, and no matter how far away the speaker moves, the South always draws her back home. 
 
 
 
In confession, in illumination, Bates establishes herself as an unflinching witness to the risks that desire necessitates, as Judas Goat holds listeners close and whispers its unforgettable lines.

In his third poetry collection from Red Hen Press, Kim Stafford gathers poems that sing with empathy, humor, witness, and story. Poems in this book have been set to music, quoted in the New York Times, posted online in the Academy of American Poets poem-a-day series, gathered in a chapbook sold to benefit Ukrainian refugees, posted online in response to Supreme Court decisions, composed for a painter’s gallery opening, and in other ways engaged a world at war with itself, testifying for the human project hungry for kinship, exiled from bounty, and otherwise thirsting for the oxygen of healing song.
