  'This house. It's called "Sea View". It's just I've looked out of every window, and you can't. You can't see the sea.'
  Blackpool, 1976. The driest summer in two hundred years. The beaches are packed. The hotels are heaving. In the sweltering backstreets, far from the choc ices and donkey rides, the Webb Sisters are returning to their mother's run-down guest house, as she lies dying upstairs.
  Jez Butterworth's play The Hills of California was first performed at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2024, directed by Sam Mendes, and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions and Neal Street.

  Richard struggled for much of his life with a mystery. Why was he uneasy and uncomfortable? Why did he feel like an imposter? In his sixties, he made a discovery that would change his life and his creative work. He realized that his life as a man did not fit with who he knew himself to be. He began the journey of transition that led him to emerge in his San Francisco community as "Richelle Lee," leaving "Richard" behind. 
  This powerful book of poems by Richelle is a magnificent collection of metrical poetry that gifts the reader with honest passion and delightful good humor. Richelle Lee Slota's poems open themselves to the world in private and public "letters" that dare to test a society full of hate and division. These letters/poems are stronger than the terror and rejection the writer faces. The beauty of her rhythm and her emotional honesty--and Richelle's dazzling technical energy--reach out to anyone seeking optimism and hope and provide nourishment. "Catch the cis-brained psyches' sober iambs/write, thrumming clever like a cleaver transgender tie-ins," Richelle writes. See the gifted person who has discarded her dead name and be captivated, enlarged, and changed by this writer of unique and moving poetry, who courageously signs her new name to every poem.

  In the village of Dymock, just by the river Leadon in Gloucester, in the years that were leading up to the Great War, six poets were creating literary history.   
  Living, visiting, reading and writing in this small area their friendships, as they intermingled and influenced each other’s lives, would create the enduring legacy of The Dymock Poets. 
  And these were not just run of the mill scribes.  Included in their number were Robert Frost, Edward Thomas and Rupert Brooke.  These three, together with John Drinkwater, Lascelles Abercrombie and Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, were the beating heart of the group.    
  In his volume we gather together some of their finest verse to best illustrate their poetical careers as well as including poems from the visiting Eleanor Farejon, a close friend of Thomas and his wife.
