Sinossi

I’ve come to the realisation that adulthood is when you have payed your respects to your last trauma. Once you’ve closed the struggle chapter. Anything that happens afterwards, though it may ruin your heart, will never cause any damage to your mind. The capacity to allow yourself to cry, and finding a solution by the following that prevents you from sobbing about the same thing again is where it all begins.  
Therefore meaningfully, adulthood has no starting age for debut. Instead, you’ll come across a person’s ductility. How far they can stretch and bend until they draw their sword and call misfortune on guard. A person can be 45 years old and hate the wind for the way it blows; just like how a person can be 10 years old and have already tried to take their own life.

The Book of Hours - a new poetic...

Rainer Maria Rilke, Brett Alan...

Written at the turn of the twentieth century, The Book of Hours is one of the most significant works of modern German poetry. There has never been an English translation that preserved the tight poeticism and Christian mysticism of the original until now. In this long poem, the narrator-poet is a monk and icon painter desperately trying to see God in a way that his art can’t capture. Over three sections (The Book of Monkish Life, The Book of Pilgrimage, and The Book of Poverty & Death), Rilke takes the narrator on a journey from the pastoral lands of his monastery to the bustling and inhuman cities of the world on a quest to make sense of God's central mystery. A variety of images recur: building, trees (roots and fruits), ripening, ore, and what Rilke simply calls "the things". Through these motifs, the narrator seeks to understand God by exploring imagery that is the inverse of the usual Biblical symbols. What can we learn by thinking of God as darkness, as son, as poor neighbor, or as the rock that runs through the earth...? And, ultimately, what truly are poverty and death to the holy pilgrim?

The Human Body

Lucy Kirkwood

'The window for change – real change I mean – will close. It's already closing. Very soon it will be shut, and we shan't be able to get it open again.'
1948, Shropshire: the winter is freezing, austerity is biting and Iris Elcock, GP, socialist and Labour Party councillor, is working tirelessly to implement Nye Bevan's National Health Service Act and its revolutionary promise of free healthcare for all.
At home she is a mother, and wife to a fellow GP, an ex-Navy man scarred by the war. But a chance meeting with George Blythe, a local boy who has made it to Hollywood, turns her quiet, certain world upside down.
A story of political and private passions, Lucy Kirkwood's play The Human Body was first performed at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2024, directed by Michael Longhurst and Ann Yee, and starring Keeley Hawes and Jack Davenport.

The Naming of Names

Shash Trevett

Shortlisted for the 2025 Derek Walcott Prize
Over 100,000 Tamil civilians were killed during the Sri Lankan civil war, their deaths often dismissed as collateral damage. What happens to names once the person who wore them dies? When there is no one left alive who remembers the laughter they once carried. In the ordinary course of a life every syllable of a name would be fully used up: a full life led. The violence of war doesn't merely decimate the physical body: it shocks into silence names, lineages and history. This book is a tender exhumation of the lyricism of Tamil names: of flowers, the moon and stars; of beauty, music and grace.
Expanding upon the work in her powerful and moving 2021 pamphlet From a Borrowed Land, Shash Trevett's The Naming of Names bears witness to the Tamil experience during the Sri Lankan civil war through poetry that spans a broad range of responses to this violent and tragic history.
