  This book is all about the poems I have written on the things surrounding me when I'm lonely vs. being around many people. The book will have poems in a sequence to compare having nothing vs having everything. If you are open to new ideas and revelations, this book is specifically for you. Do not let your personal beliefs affect the book's purpose. Just enjoy and be prepared for a rollercoaster of different quality poems. 
  In a world increasingly cluttered with noise and haste, "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" emerges as a beacon of clarity and insight, delving into the profound realms of words, the beauty of life, and the essence of patience with purpose. This audiobook, narrated with a compelling voice that weaves through the intricacies of human experiences and philosophical musings, invites listeners on a journey that challenges perceptions, enlightens minds, and soothes souls. The narrative begins by exploring the power of words—seemingly simple symbols that can uplift or destroy, enlighten or obscure. 
  "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" eloquently argues that words are not mere communication vehicles, but potent tools that shape our realities, beliefs, and identities. Through captivating stories and thoughtful analyses, the audiobook reveals how the words we choose to use and the narratives we tell ourselves and others construct the edifice of our lives. It emphasizes the responsibility that comes with this power and the transformative potential of mindful communication. 
  As the journey progresses, the audiobook blossoms into celebrating life's beauty. It paints vivid landscapes of the human condition, exploring the depths of sorrow the peaks of joy, and everything in between. 
  "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" does not shy away from the complexities and contradictions inherent in living, but instead embraces them as sources of strength and wisdom.

  The Merchant of Feathers

  This second collection of poems confirms why Tanya Shirley is so much in demand for readings. The stories she tells have their finger on the pulse of contemporary Jamaica in all its exuberance and brokenness. She tells these stories with a winning mixture of acute observation, outrage, outrageousness, tenderness and understanding. They present a poetic persona of a woman who is "sometimes dangling from high wires/ but always out in the open". So that whilst there is no one who so wittily skewers the misogynistic, she is also honest about the complicity of women in their own acts of submission, of how "I danced flat-footed in your dense air". There is joy in the energy and delights of the body but also a keen awareness of ageing and the body's derelictions. If there is one overarching vision it is that love is "larger than the space we live in", a love represented by the "merchant of feathers - now a woman/ selling softness in these hard times", or the mother who tends the battered face of her son, the victim of a homophobic beating.
  
  There is scarcely a line without some memorable phrase - the madman who chants his "lullaby of badwords", the father who "became the water within him" - but these are much more than an assembly of sharp images; closer reading shows just how shapely and elegant these poems are.

  A Sand Book is a poetry collection in twelve parts, a travel guide that migrates from wildfires to hurricanes, tweety bird to the president, lust to aridity, desertification to prophecy, and mother to daughter. It explores the negative space of what is happening to language and to consciousness in our strange and desperate times. From Hurricane Sandy to the murder of Sandra Bland to the massacre at Sandy Hook, from the sand in the gizzards of birds to the desertified mountains of Haiti, from Attar's "Conference of the Birds" to Chaucer's "Parliament of Fowls" to Twitter, A Sand Book is about change and quantification, the relationship between catastrophe and cultural transmission. It moves among houses of worship and grocery stores, flitters between geological upheaval and the weird weather of the Internet. In her long-awaited follow-up to Mercury, Reines has written her most ambitious work to date, but also her most visceral and satisfying.

  'Every winner might be the one who loses the next day.'
  Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working-class origins to the top of her game: defending, cross-examining and winning.
  But an unexpected event forces her to confront the patriarchal power of the law, where the burden of proof and morality diverge.
  Prima Facie by Suzie Miller is an award-winning play for a solo actor, taking us deep into a world where emotion and integrity are in conflict with the rules of the game.
  After several acclaimed productions in Australia and winning the Australian Writers' Guild Award for Drama, the play received its European premiere at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in April 2022. It was produced by Empire Street Productions, directed by Justin Martin, and starred Jodie Comer, the Emmy and Bafta Award-winning star of TV's Killing Eve, making her West End debut.
  It won Best New Play at both the Olivier Awards and the WhatsOnStage Awards in 2023.
