  Safia Khan's Too Much Mirch dwells in the ambiguities of human relationships, exploring how people and communities can be lifted up or let down by those around them. Sharp and sensitive in their imagery, these poems apply an empathetic lens to every subject they meet – family members, bullies, a cadaver in an anatomy lesson.

  Between Flowers Monsters and...

  Ben Featherstone

  Between Flowers, Monsters and Mushrooms by Ben Featherstone is a wandering collection of wonderfully imperfect poetry, short stories and unique thoughts on life, forming a contemporary poetry and literary fiction audiobook. It is inspired from the humorous, peculiar sometimes dark margins of ordinary life experience. Expect stories and poems which go against standard structures and topics, written on and off from the age of 8 to 40 years old. 
  Ben Featherstone is a composer and musician, some of his contemporary compositions are featured in this book, all of which are mastered at Abbey Road Studio's London. 
  Moving through pubs, bedrooms, streets, memories and moments of quiet contemplation, Featherstone writes about beauty where it shouldn’t exist and tenderness where it is least expected. Love appears unfinished, men behave badly, women are luminous and dangerous, and meaning is often found by accident rather than design. 
  This is not a book of answers. It is a book of noticing. Of walking without a map. Of humour rubbing shoulders with grief, and intimacy sitting uncomfortably between the cracks that let the light in. It is the fox looking upon the badger in the sea and realising he is not the furthest from home. 
  At times romantic, at times raw, and often funny in the wrong places, Between Flowers, Monsters and Mushrooms is a poetry and short stories audiobook for listeners who prefer honesty over resolution, and beauty over certainty - leaning towards writing from the heart rather than following traditional poetry and story structures.

  This  poetic book tells the story of David, a farmer born in 1960s Australia who was expected to carry on his family’s traditions on the land. We follow his life from birth to an imagined death, spanning a turbulent time when small rural communities across Australia collapsed.
   
  David’s  plans are upended in the 1990s as the country suffers deregulation of the grain markets and the onset of a devastating ten-year drought. He and farmers like him have their lives forever changed, swept away by harsh economic forces and drought as family farms shut down.
   
  The  book captures in verse the destruction of a cherished way of life for David, his neighbours, and rural towns. It recounts the tragedy of dreams broken when long-held farming traditions become unsustainable. By  telling one man’s story, it memorializes the wider loss of community 
  and livelihood faced by farming families across Australia in recent decades.

  Last Call - A True Story of PTSD...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Last Call is a raw, unfiltered memoir about trauma, survival, and the brutal road to recovery. Dylan Shields, a decorated medic, firefighter, and safety director, spent his life saving others on battlefields, in burning buildings, and in disaster zones. But when the adrenaline faded and the silence set in, he found himself face-to-face with a new enemy: PTSD, addiction, and the demons that followed him home. 
  Told with brutal honesty and deep humanity, Last Call takes readers inside the hidden battles of first responders and veterans—the unspoken grief, the guilt that lingers, and the coping mechanisms that nearly cost everything. From war-torn deployments to a vodka-soaked garage, this is the story of how one man fell apart, fought to get back up, and discovered that the mission was never just about saving others—it was about learning to save himself. 
  For anyone who’s ever struggled in silence, this book is a lifeline. For everyone else, it’s a wake-up call.
