  Death is a subject that few of us talk about, but many think about and more than a few of us dread.  Whether it is the actual end of our life’s journey or merely a transit point to Heavenly glory its actual point of impact is, obviously, life changing. But what do poets think of it?  How do their minds tangle with the subject and make sense of this?  That’s what we thought too.   Poets as rich and diverse as Tennyson, Hardy, Shelley & Poe here share their words, thoughts and visions with us. Death is unavoidable but the journey there should be as informed and enjoyable as possible. On this Volume our readers include Richard Mitchley & Ghizela Rowe

  For Charly, every day is the same. Things used to be different, when there was Clo, but now there isn't Clo, and Charly doesn't want to dwell on that. She just wants to chug coffee, blast Beastie Boys and deal drugs. Simple.
  But when Charly suffers a power cut, she's forced back into the real world of knock-off Morrisseys, disapproving mothers and, ultimately, a world she has to navigate alone.
  Lady Dealer is a mile-a-minute, one-person poem play by Martha Watson Allpress about forgiveness, the exhaustion of trying, and mistaking self-destruction for self-preservation.
  It premiered in Paines Plough's Roundabout during the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
