  "You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts."
  
  In the city of Orphalese, the people gather to say farewell to Al-Mustafa, the "Chosen and the Beloved." Before he departs, they ask him to speak his truth on the fundamental experiences of human life. Through a series of lyrical and profound dialogues, Al-Mustafa provides timeless insights into love, pain, work, friendship, and death. Gibran's work transcends religion and culture, offering a blueprint for a life lived with meaning, compassion, and spiritual freedom.
  
  The Art of Living: Gibran does not offer rigid rules but rather a philosophy of balance. He teaches that joy and sorrow are inseparable, that work is "love made visible," and that true friendship is a field "which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving." His words act as a mirror, reflecting the reader's own inner wisdom.
  
  A Global Phenomenon: Since its publication, The Prophet has never been out of print. Its popularity lies in its simplicity and its ability to speak directly to the human heart. It has served as a guide for millions during life's most significant transitions—from weddings and births to the finality of death.
  
  A Synthesis of East and West: As a Lebanese-American artist, Gibran blended the mysticism of the East with the Romanticism of the West. This unique perspective allowed him to create a work that feels both ancient and modern, providing a sanctuary of peace in an increasingly chaotic world.

  Khairani Barokka's uncompromising third collection of poetry amuk sheds light on the devastating and ongoing effects of a single word's mistranslation, and emphasises what exists in opposition to such hostile histories and presents: hope, resistance, and joy.
  Groundbreaking in its use of form and poetics, amuk deconstructs the brutal workings of oppressive systems to examine how, "through macheted etymology", violence and suffering is replicated through (mis)translation. These radical poems of fury and prayer look towards the vital, living resistance of persisting languages, and resilient peoples.

  'We have to keep up with the times. We're a business, not a soup kitchen, we might be busy but we're basically giving the food away for free.'
  Hyltons' Caribbean takeaway is a much-loved restaurant in the heart of Liverpool. Built by Carol and her late husband into a bustling hub with a mouth-watering menu, it serves great food with a huge side-order of love.
  But in a world of delivery apps, street-food markets and gourmet curry goat, the old ways are changing. Liverpool is changing too, with a luxury apartment block about to be built over a local playing field. Anger is rising, nobody can agree on anything any more, and things are getting spicy...
  A feast of big laughs, family tensions and delicious food, Nathan Powell's play Takeaway premiered at Liverpool Everyman in 2025, directed by Amanda Huxtable.

  The World Keeps Ending and the...

  From acclaimed poet Franny Choi comes a poetry collection for the ends of worlds—past, present, and future. Choi’s third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival. 
  Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples. 
  With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi's signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
