  [squelch procedures]

  MLA Chernoff

  In [SQUELCH PROCEDURES], MLA Chernoff contemplates the ways that trauma, poverty, and strict gender norms rupture the concept of childhood. The tension of multiple meanings in the word “squelch” acts as a guide to Chernoff’s unique voice, which uses language to swaddle intrusive thoughts and mimic defense mechanisms such as avoidance, depersonalization, and derealization. [SQUELCH PROCEDURES] is an ambitious attempt to show how healing and regression are often indistinguishable, while the past is always predisposed to happen more than once: first as tragedy, then as farce.

  'I'm not gonna stand up in front of a bunch of strangers and tell stories about you and me.'
  Billie's signed them both up for stand-up comedy. Tonight, she and her husband Peter are locking themselves in their living room until they've got it down: a 'tight-five' set that's a guaranteed knock-out.
  With the clock ticking and nothing but a baby monitor for an audience, they go delving through their past for material. But as questions about their future are forced to the surface, they discover that some jokes really do hurt, and laughter isn't always the best medicine.
  I'm Not Being Funny explores hope, endings and how to survive if a knock-knock joke hits you in the gut. Piers Black's play was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Bryony Shanahan.

  Mr Outside

  During a time of restricted movement, the narrator of Mr Outside visits his reclusive father Thomas who is packing up to move into a care home. As father and son grapple with the task, long-buried conflicts resurface. Thomas, a poet and former radical priest, slips between affection and fear, while the narrator struggles to find the words he's been holding back. Yet amidst confusion and grief, moments of humour and connection emerge, as both men discover new ways to understand each other and let go.
  Told through a striking combination of text and image, Klaces' distilled novel explores the stories we tell about our lives, the limits of intimacy, and the fragile line between reality and delusion. Based on the life of his own father, Mr Outside is poignant, profound, and unexpectedly funny; a tender meditation on endings, the limits of understanding, and the act of letting go.

  Ground Provisions

  In her debut collection, Ground Provisions, Shauna M. Morgan takes us on a sensory journey across landscapes of the body and the earth. Shortlisted in the poetry category of the 2026 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, the collection traverses the natural world from the Caribbean to North America and provokes questions about identity in the making of diasporas and the formation of multi-ethnic realities. What remains and what is created anew? Who emerges at the fissures of culture? What is learned from human relationships with the land? How do we make provisions between generations?
  These poems guide us through a backabush Jamaican community to an often-hostile US environment as they interrogate power, follow the desire for freedom, explore the necessity of ancestral memory, and answer the crucial need to touch the earth and each other.
  Sonnet and sestina walk alongside poetic forms such as haibun and duplex to explore family origins and Afro-Indo cultural syncretism while offering intimate views of the speakers and their interior lives. We witness grief overwhelming the mind and body, children holding painful secrets, women leaning into sensuality, and families coming to terms with fracture and reconciliation.
  Through intertwined familial and historical inheritances, these poems ask us to imagine the liberatory possibilities of establishing new roots with legacy seeds.
