  Nativity / In Lockdown with Brecht is a moving collection of poems on many modern themes, including globalisation, hopes invested in the next generation, our guilt concerning the terrors of their inheritance, love, comradeship, mental stress and troublesome romance, but often with a light and elaborate touch. Each poem invokes a contemporary experience of the world that will resonate with a wide range of readers. Nativity / In Lockdown with Brecht makes demands of the reader that will be repaid in new perspectives on and ways of feeling about the world today and in the foreseeable future. It also employs humour, satire and a sense of the absurd at times.

  'People say life's too short, it's not. It's too bloody long. There's too much time and too many ways to fill it, all those hours in all those days, all those choices you have to make.'
  Sam's eighteen and her life's about to start. Zoe's forty-something and hers never did. They don't have much in common. Just a love of '80s new wave, and an illness that wants them dead.
  Thrown together in an eating disorder unit, their most intimate secrets exposed, they form a complicated bond. But when another patient turns the ward into chaos, they're forced to confront a difficult question: if an institution is the thing keeping you safe, how are you supposed to cope when you leave?
  Authentic, witty and profoundly compassionate, Laura Waldren's play Some Demon won the Papatango New Writing Prize and the Clive Richards Foundation Writer in Residence Bursary, and was first produced by Papatango Theatre Company at the Arcola Theatre, London, and Bristol Old Vic in 2024.

  The algorithm
  of my own life, faded
  and spidery,
  is written,
  not keyed in.
  From bombsites used as childhood playgrounds to lockdown FaceTime calls, Kate Foley looks back on almost nine decades of life – a life characterised by curiosity, resistance and a strong connection with the natural world.
  Appreciation and concern for the planet runs through this frank and moving collection, which muses on the notions of faith and belief, ultimately rejecting both Whitehall politics and traditional religion as inadequate to deal with environmental crisis.
  Simultaneously nostalgic and highly concerned with the future, Kate Foley's candid reminiscence and simple use of language draw us softly into consideration of life's big questions: What's it all for? How will we be remembered?
  Will it build again, our earth?
