Sinopse

Gathering brings together essays by women of colour across the UK writing about their relationships with nature, in a genre long-dominated by male, white, middle-class writers. In redressing this imbalance, this moving collection considers climate justice, neurodiversity, mental health, academia, inherited histories, colonialism, whiteness, music, hiking and so much more.
These personal, creative, and fierce essays will broaden both conversations and horizons about our living world, encouraging readers to consider their own experience with nature and their place within it.

    Charlie Watts June 2, 1941- August 24, 2021 
     
     
    A TRIBUTE FROM THE AUTHOR OF 'PAINT IT BLACK THE MURDER OF BRIAN JONES' 
    AND 'THE ROLLING STONES ALBUM', SQUID GAME STAR GEOFFREY GIULIANO 
     
    "I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing." 
     
    "I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night." 
     
    "It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge." 
     
    "I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them." 
    Charlie Watts 
     
    Charlie Watts provided the foundation that underpinned the music of the Rolling Stones. The band became a by-word for rock 'n' roll excess but for Watts, playing with the Stones did not become the ego trip that drove Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A jazz aficionado, Watts vied with Bill Wyman for the title of least charismatic member of the band; he eschewed the limelight and rarely gave interviews. And he famously described life with the Stones as five years of playing, 20 years of hanging around. 
     
    Charles Robert Watts was born on 2 June 1941 at the University College Hospital in London and was raised in Kingsbury, now part of the London Borough of Brent. His father was a lorry driver and Watts was brought up in a prefabricated house to which the family had moved after German bombs destroyed hundreds of houses in the area. A childhood friend once described how Watts had an early interest in jazz and recalled listening to 78s in Charlie's bedroom by artists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Charlie Parker.

    Interlude - A Memoir

    What happens when you finally listen, not to the noise of the world, but to the quiet hum beneath it? 
    In Interlude, Ellen Nasser gathers the memories, moments, and melodies that have shaped her life into a book that feels like sitting with a trusted friend. From sunlit childhood afternoons in Saltcoats to the foggy edge of midlife reflection, she traces the threads of motherhood, meaning, and belonging with all the mess and the music that shimmer in between. 
    This is not a memoir about having the answers. It is a permission slip: to pause, to soften, to laugh and grieve, to let yourself feel without rushing to fix. It is a companion for anyone longing to hear their own quiet voice again, to remember that the self beneath all the roles we play has always been there. 
    Told first through audio, with Ellen’s own voice and original music, Interlude is meant to be heard, felt, and carried with you, like a familiar melody that keeps calling you back to yourself.

    Raised by the Zoo - My Life With...

    People have been enchanted by elephants for centuries. For Gerry Creighton, this fascination began at an early age. His father was a keeper at Dublin Zoo, and he instilled in Gerry a love and respect for animals. It wasn't long before Gerry followed in his footsteps, joining the zoo at 15, where he would spend the next 36 years.
    Joyful and life-affirming, Raised by the Zoo is the story of a life spent in service to elephants, and how by watching and listening to them – how they interact and care for each other, form relationships and teach the next generation – they can show us what it really means to be human.

    Grocery Shopping with My Mother...

    When Kevin Powell's elderly mother became ill, he returned home ever week to take her grocery shopping in Jersey City. Walking behind her during those trips, Powell began to hear her voice, stories, and language in a new way—and examined his own healing while praying for hers. 
     
    Grocery Shopping with My Mother originated as social media posts about these visits and evolved into a breathtaking collection of thirty-two new poems, crafted like an album, plus four bonus tracks celebrating a great love of wordplay.  
     
    Culturally rooted in the literary traditions of Ntozake Shange and Allen Ginsberg, Powell’s poems honor the likes of V (formerly Eve Ensler), bell hooks, and Sidney Poitier. 
     
    Grocery Shopping with My Mother dives into the complexities of relationships and contemporary themes with honesty and vulnerability. Creatively and spiritually inspired by Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life, Powell’s poems shift in form and style, from praise chants to reverential  
    meditations to, most importantly, innovative hope.
