  Llanrumney plantation. Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica. 1765.
  Annie and Cerys are enslaved by the Morgan family from Wales. When Elizabeth Morgan is faced with the loss of her plantation, the slaves' future hangs in the balance.
  With a storm of rebellion brewing, Annie does everything she can to secure her future. But sooner or later she will have to face up to the horror and trauma all around her, including her own.
  Azuka Oforka's play The Women of Llanrumney is a powerful, searing drama that explores the impact of slavery and the lives of women who experienced it – those who benefitted from it, those who were brutalised by it and those who fought to destroy it. It premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024, directed by Patricia Logue.
  Azuka Oforka was the joint winner of the Best Writer award at The Stage Debut Awards 2024.

  Hidden beneath Stone Mountain's imposing facade lies a dark and intriguing secret. Drawn together by an irresistible force, a disparate group of individuals with unique powers, embark on a quest to uncover its legend. Unbeknownst to them, they are thrust into an ancient battle between good and evil.  
  Amidst the peculiar happenings surrounding Cyrus Jones's family farm, her unique ability to command the weather unveils its true purpose. Determined to unearth the truth behind the relentless loss of everything she holds dear, Cyrus's investigation leads her to two captivating figures—Mr. H, the leader of an underground resistance, and Bobby Carter, a mesmerizing carnival performer.  
  Meanwhile, former knights William Avery and Quinton Fenris break free from their allegiance to The Knights of Adonai, a modern order of knights connected with Alethea Church. Now fugitives, and questioning their once-loyal motives, they must elude pursuers while grappling with their own profound destinies.  
  As these lives intertwine, more extraordinary individuals emerge from the shadows. Amira Kadru, a young prodigy with the power of mirroring, and the enigmatic warlock Marlynn, a guiding presence for the amnesic Amy; All join the growing alliance. Together with Cyrus, Bobby, William, and Quinton, they unite as the Guardians of Atlanta, a formidable force against the malevolent darkness seeking to resurrect Stone Mountain's ancient legend.  
  With fate converging upon Stone Mountain, an inevitable final showdown looms. The dormant power within the sacred rock remains a tantalizing mystery. Who will triumph in the battle to unravel the legend, and what otherworldly forces will be unleashed? Brace yourself for an epic tale of superheroes—a poetic masterpiece where super powers clash in a timeless struggle for Georgia's own Stone Mountain.

  Born in England – Exploring...

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
   
  England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
   
  In this volume our poems come from the East Midlands in the centre of England. Once a vast manufacturing hub whose industries invented, created and exported the future to the entire world.  From its industry and grime came poets of the first rank including Alfred Lord Tennyson, D H Lawrence, Anne Bradstreet, John Dryden, John Clare and many others.
