  Chance and Life

  This book is the opposite of most of your deepest beliefs. There is no reason attached to it, there is no morality or self-awareness. This is sophistry in its purest form.   'How much must we care?' This question is probably the only one you should ask yourself at the end of your perusal.

  Reversing Entropy - Poems

  From the pen of beloved poet Luci Shaw comes a new collection that celebrates inspired creativity as an antidote to chaos.
  The poet's own words best describe the heart of this pinnacle collection of new work by beloved writer Luci Shaw:
  
  Entropy: A measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system, its lack of order or predictability, resulting in a gradual decline into disorder. 
  
  Our universe, and the systems within it, constantly shift from their created states of order towards disorder, or chaos. The second law of thermodynamics asserts that entropy, or disorder, always increases with time. Creative human activities such as art, architecture, music, story or film are human efforts to halt and reverse this loss of meaning. Thus, smaller systems, like individual poems, become highly ordered as they receive energy from outside themselves, from the poet. They reverse entropy because they are moving from a state of disorder (all the random ideas, words and phrases available to the writer) into an orderly form designed by the writer to create meaningful images and concepts in the reader's mind (which is where the word "imag-ination" comes from.) This transfer of images, concepts and ideas into the mind of a reader is the task of poetry and the calling of the poet. Just as a composer of music gathers rhythms, notes, melodies, or harmony, organizing them into fugues or sonatas or concertos, so poets work and write to discover ways of arranging their responses to the world in words that introduce meaning and beauty in the mind of the reader. 
  
  Which is what I've been trying to do for most of my life.

  The shade of Hugs is a collection of poetry, these are the thoughts and questions that plagued me while I tried to maneuver my grief. I wrote the words as they came; these are my journal entries, my story. They gave me comfort and a release in the moments I hardly had any. In these words, I found my path to healing, back to self. May they remind you, You are not alone.

  'I know it's difficult. You've obviously been a good friend to her but it's time to let us take over now.'
  Es and Flo fell fiercely in love in the eighties. They've been living as secret lovers ever since. As Es becomes more forgetful around their home, an unexpected carer arrives. Who sent this woman? Why? And can they trust her?
  As the outside world comes crashing in, Flo fights to protect the life they've built together over forty years behind closed doors. And faces the hardest battle of her life – to hold on to the woman she loves.
  Jennifer Lunn's play Es & Flo is a sharply observed, deeply compassionate drama, coloured with memories of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. It celebrates an older lesbian relationship, women coming together to fight for what's right, and the healing power of chosen family.
  The play was produced by Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, and opened there in 2023 before moving to Kiln Theatre, London, directed by Susie McKenna. It won the Popcorn Group Writing Award and the Nancy Dean Lesbian Playwriting Award.
