Sinopse

From the silent, incomprehensible Void before time began, to the fiery Spark that ignited creation, Wastelands embarks on an epic poetic odyssey through the universe and humanity's tumultuous journey. This isn't just a collection of poems; it's a meticulously crafted narrative that traces existence from its earliest, formless moments, through the miraculous birth of Allotment Earth and the first stirrings of life. Prepare to witness the grand cosmic dance, the delicate balance of nascent ecosystems, and the profound miracle of life taking hold in a chaotic, evolving universe.But as the story progresses, a darker truth emerges. Wastelands fearlessly confronts the human element, exploring the rise of civilization, the allure of power, and the devastating consequences of our choices. Through themes like the Anthropocene's environmental toll, the persistent Bloodshed In War, and the societal Meltdown born from greed and division, the collection exposes the "psychedelic psychosis" of a humanity grappling with its own destructive impulses. It's a poignant exploration of our Unfulfilled Dreams and the paths we've chosen, leading us to question the very essence of progress.Ultimately, Wastelands culminates in a stark, unforgettable vision of humanity's potential demise, returning to the Void from which it began. Yet, within this apocalyptic panorama, the enduring question of love persists—its triumphs, its failures, and its inexplicable power in the face of annihilation. This collection by an innovative indie poet promises a surprising and deeply reflective experience, inviting readers to contemplate the fragility of existence and the timeless battles waged within the human heart.

Composed in two halves, Erica Gillingham's The Human Body is a Hive is a playful and observant reconception of queer love and queer family-making.

The latter catalogues the cyclical heartbreaks and wonders of fertility treatment through the microscopic lenses of nature, medicine, and art. Both quietly moving and profoundly celebratory, this exciting debut evokes tenderness and resilience.

Over two hundred years ago, Olaudah Equiano changed the world. After reading reports of the British ship Zong, where 132 enslaved Africans were thrown overboard, he joins forces with anti-slavery campaigner Granville Sharp and together they set in motion events which will go on to galvanise the abolition movement.
But Olaudah's impassioned fight for justice goes beyond the courtroom. Having bought his own freedom, he now faces a personal battle to rediscover his past and accept his true self.
Weaving together the many lives affected by these events across the globe, The Meaning of Zong is both a depiction of a shameful true story from British history, and a timely response to the social upheaval the world has witnessed in recent years – celebrating the power of individual action to drive huge societal change.
Giles Terera's debut play was commissioned by Bristol Old Vic and the National Theatre, and first performed on stage at Bristol Old Vic in April 2022, co-directed by Tom Morris and Terera, after an acclaimed production on BBC Radio 3.
