  The collection Polemics: Political Poems & Prose takes the reader on a disturbing, wide-eyed ride through the years 2016-2025 in the United States.  It highlights the political nightmares and triumphs, both familiar and forgotten, experienced by Americans during this time.  
  To endure the tempest of the current era, Polemics clings faithfully to old-school liberal themes. These are delivered as rhyme, essay and fiction. Its affectionately nostalgic patriotism will resonate with anyone, who has been paying attention long enough to notice, that things have changed. And not for the better. 
   As Americans try to navigate an America they have never seen before—an America they barely recognize—Polemics will serve as an anthem, an incantation, and a call to action. This collection aims to guide their forlorn liberal souls through dark times, toward something better.

  The Lightest Element

  'Nothing compares with being the first person in the history of the world to see something, but timing is everything. The world has to be ready for you.'
  Boston, 1956. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, one of the most eminent astronomers of the twentieth century, is about to be appointed Chair of Astronomy and the first woman to head a department at Harvard University. Only two things stand in her way: a covert investigation aimed at exposing her as a Communist sympathiser, and the entrenched conservatism of her male colleagues.
  When a student journalist asks to profile her, it feels like an opportunity to control her own narrative – assuming, of course, that the invitation is actually what it seems…
  Stella Feehily's play The Lightest Element is a taut drama exploring how a challenge to social norms can be almost as difficult as overturning scientific orthodoxy. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Alice Hamilton.
