Sinopsis

'You clung on to everything. Her things.'
Veda and Bea haven't spoken since their dad's funeral; not since Bea scratched something obscene into the bonnet of Veda's cherished convertible. But one wet Tuesday morning, Veda shows up out of the blue on Bea's doorstep, determined to break down the walls built by so many things left unsaid.
But before they can do that, there's the small matter of the physical walls Bea has surrounded herself with – walls made of newspapers, suitcases, cutlery, commodes, keyboards and hundreds, likely thousands, of bags-for-life...
Chloë Lawrence-Taylor's play Personal Values is a perceptive, poignant and witty look at sisterhood and grief. It was first performed at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Lucy Morrison.
Disponible desde: 17/04/2025.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz.
     
    *The Forerunner* by **Kahlil Gibran** is a poetic and philosophical collection of parables, brief reflections, and symbolic prose pieces that explores the inner life of the soul and the spiritual struggles of humanity. More enigmatic and fragmentary than *The Prophet*, the book presents meditations on love, solitude, beauty, wisdom, suffering, pride, compassion, and the search for truth, often through allegory and paradox. Each short piece invites contemplation rather than straightforward interpretation, revealing Gibran’s mystical vision of human nature and the divine. The result is a luminous and introspective work that speaks to readers seeking spiritual insight, poetic wisdom, and timeless reflections on the mysteries of existence.

    "Luci Shaw is a legend" —Christianity Today
    This captivating collection of poems by beloved author Luci Shaw, reflects on daily ideas and activities as they arrive, bit by bit, to illuminate us with their wisdom and enlarge on the meanings of human experience. Like small messages from beyond, these incidents call us to pay attention.
    In An Incremental Life, Shaw breathes life into the simpleness of the every-day and finds God in the memory of the mundane. Through her verses, she explores the intricate tapestry of existence, from the tender memories of childhood to the profound questions of mortality. Her poems are like windows opening to the soul, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and savor the beauty of the world around them.
    
    
    INCREMENTS
    
    
    I live by increments, single
    
    
    breaths of an ambient air,
    
    
    marking off hours, days.
    
    
     
    
    
    Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio
    in sequentiae, edging every step
    
    
    forward before venturing the next.
    
    
     
    
    
    Staggering up towards the stony
    
    
    crests of the foothills, dusty, I am
    
    
    almost undone with weariness, only half
    
    
    believing that the view will widen.
    
    
     
    
    
    In my falling upward into your home,
    
    
    O Faithful One, stay with me,
    
    
    your wind music playing the ear of
    
    
    my mind like an instrument.
    
    
     
    
    "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw

    "Stellar . . . with great humanity, grace and precision." —Nicole Sealey, author of Ordinary Beast 
     
     
     
    Gabrielle Bates's electric debut collection Judas Goat plumbs the depths of intimate relationships. The book's eponymous animal is used to lead sheep to slaughter, while its own life is spared, and its harrowing existence echoes through this spellbinding collection of forty poems, which wrestle with betrayal and forced obedience, violence and young womanhood, and the "forbidden felt language" of sexual and sacred love. These poems conjure encounters with figures from scriptures, domesticated animals eyeing the wild, and mothering as a shape-shifting, spectral force; they question what it means to love another person and how to exorcise childhood fears. All the while, the Deep South haunts, and no matter how far away the speaker moves, the South always draws her back home. 
     
     
     
    In confession, in illumination, Bates establishes herself as an unflinching witness to the risks that desire necessitates, as Judas Goat holds listeners close and whispers its unforgettable lines.
