  'Jo and Harry are changing.
  Harry is changing more than most, undeniably.

  Break-ups aren't just about who gets the CD collection. As Jo and Harry begin to untangle themselves from each other, new worlds start to open up – worlds filled with new partners, new identities, new possibilities…
  What kind of women do they want to be, and do they have the courage, or the permission, to get there?
  Chris Bush's play Otherland is a bold and beautiful exploration of what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Ann Yee.
  Otherland was a finalist for the 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

  Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a remarkable collection of luminous poems for cherishing cultures, languages, and the Earth — From poet and urbanist Dr. Amy Shimshon-Santo.“Listen with your natural body,” writes Shimshon-Santo. “In the beginning, there was song.” This collection tracks a woman’s search for language and belonging. Choral, cryptographic, and exhilarating, Shimshon-Santo provides glimpses into a poetics of  planetary livability.The collection opens with a “genealogy of the moment” in “x or x prime clock time.” Trees and vines “tangle their hair together” to escape over brick walls. A piano decomposes into forest mulch. Seaweed fronds curl around pilings. Gravity “plants humans in the ground like oaks” while black birds murmurate skyward. Echolocate in the galaxy through poems, and become a “rapture gawker of infinity consciousness.”Mother tongues join a line dance of translations with family and friends. A trilingual villanelle for òrìṣà cohabitates with talmudic inspired piyyut. Poems morph into flow charts, pictograms, haikus, and chants — scattered between photographs of habitats.Her verse has kinesthetic momentum on the page—flowing from right to left or left to right, ascending or descending, to weave conversations between languages. The outcome of Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a homecoming to the body and the planet; respect for multiple languages and awe for life in our pluriverse.

  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.

  Lossless

  Taking its title from lossless data compression algorithms, Lossless transmits through time and space those ‘stabs of self’ that intensify with loss of relationships, of faith, of childhood, of people.
     
   
    The qualities of light, colour, and movement in the book’s forty-eight sonnets conjure a sense of arrested time, of motes in the air, while chapters of Borgesian prose poems extract knowledge from information to reconstruct a subjectivity, a personality, and a life. 
   
  "Tierney tracks and backtracks in the realm of dispossession like a cross between a physicist and a magician from a future era. These poems are new forms for human heart and quiddity.” – Anne-Marie Turza, author of Fugue with Bedbug"In this wise, wonky, poignant avowal of error and losslessness, Matthew Tierney geotags his 'freefall of associative memory,' where the past flickers presently and futures bend toward the start. Invoking the dogmas of digital media, quantum mechanics and philosophy, Lossless is the devlog of a child becoming father of the man. A 'greybeard & tweener' at once, Tierney conjures his Gen Xer youth—neighborhood bullies, the first kiss, jogging with a Walkman on—to tweak his hi-fi output as a husband and fumbling dad. Given a spacetime continuum offering 'viaducts of alternate choices,' in which everyone, at the molecular level, is 'swappable soma' at best, Tierney parses 'compossible paths' from 'incompatibilism,' trying to track the quirks and quarks of multidimensional life. In troubleshot sonnets and corrupted prose, this book is an ode to the lost art of losing gracefully." – Andrew Zawacki, author of Unsun
