  Female Poets of the Nineteenth...

  George Eliot

  For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture.  Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. 
  Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. 
  For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere.  These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise. 
  The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written.  And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias.  With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share. 
  This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

  Alaa The Struggle Between Good...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Alaa was a boy who grew up in the countryside. He never knew a mother’s warmth since he was an infant, but he was raised by a noble and wise man who made him happy despite their poverty. However, this man grew old and became bedridden, forcing the boy and his brothers to carry the burdens of life at an early age. 
  In this story, Alaa did not turn to a magic lamp that grants wishes or a wondrous flying carpet. Instead, he turned to something better: the Gracious Lord and a sincere heart. For if a lamp or a carpet can be stolen, a beautiful heart can never be taken away. 
  In this part of the novel, we focused on the hero drawing strength from reason and wisdom. This is not because fantasy or wonders are bad, but because we wanted to achieve the greatest intellectual and moral benefit that can inspire us in real life. As Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: "How much people need a truthful storyteller." 
  Everyone loves entertainment and may tire of direct education, so what if we scattered lessons between the lines of suspense? 
  I wrote this story a few years ago while I was herding sheep, and guidance was close to my heart. So, I freed my pen to draw something that would make me happy. In the end, I was amazed by the result and wanted to share this work, which my family and friends admired. If you want to enter my world and learn more about Alaa, please share your opinion with me—it is very important and means a lot to me.

  What do we inherit from our mothers? From our grandmothers? From the legacy of colonisation and empire? Mother | Line, Ankita Saxena's debut poetry collection, charts lineage in all its forms, delving into female rage, compassion, and endurance. Drawing on the author's British Asian heritage and experiences growing up as a woman in an increasingly violent world, this collection weaves together the personal and the political in ghazals, odes and specular poems, which hold a mirror to the world and to themselves. "We are daughters of Kali", Saxena writes, and "mothers linger on the sides, hearing us become them; / our routines only theirs to thank for, our spices, / our blends, and even our greedy tongues.
  "A sublime and considered collection, speaking to, and spanning lineage, inheritance, friendship; what it can mean to be a girl, a woman in the world — across continents, oceans, time." - Rachel Long

  Farm Hall

  'It was never about the Reich or the war. It was about physics.'
  Summer 1945. Hitler is dead, but the war in the Pacific rages on. When six of Germany's top nuclear scientists – including three Nobel Prize winners – are detained by Allied forces at a stately home in the Cambridgeshire countryside, they find themselves shut off from the outside world. Their only distractions are board games, a broken piano and a copy of Blithe Spirit. But as the months go by, their attention turns to the ongoing war and thoughts of their broken homeland.
  The scientists' tranquil summer is shattered by the inconceivable news that the Americans have succeeded where the Germans have failed: the United States has not only built an atomic bomb, but they have used one against Japan.
  Katherine Moar's captivating debut play Farm Hall dramatises the true story recorded inside the bugged walls of the actual Farm Hall between July 1945 and January 1946. It was premiered at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in March 2023, before transferring to the Theatre Royal Bath, directed by Stephen Unwin. It transferred to the West End's Theatre Royal, Haymarket, in 2024.
