  In the third installment of the Pelican Beach series, Payton and Cole are back, and they're ready to commence their union. It sounds easy enough, but will life circumstances keep them apart? 
  The theme of new beginnings continues as Rebecca and Ethan prepare to welcome their firstborn. However, these two have a lot more to figure out besides navigating parenthood. With the clock winding down before the baby's arrival, will they decide to make things official by getting married? 
  Lastly, we can't forget about Cole's mother, Alice. She spent many years looking after the family. She's been the perfect grandmother, and supportive when Cole needed her most. But it's been a long time since she's had someone to call her own. Will she continue her life's journey as a single woman? Or perhaps find herself in the middle of a love triangle? 
  The Matthews are back, and they're sure to take you on a journey. You might find yourself crying, laughing, or ready to give a character a piece of your mind. Either way, pull up a beach chair and get ready to be entangled in A Pelican Beach Affair.

  The Poetry of Evenings - The...

  In England summer evenings remind us of the falling of the light, of village greens and the thump of willow on leather.  In winter, evenings are dark, unlit and a time to be inside. 
  The evening light, of twilight, of sunset, has another name in the movie business. They call it ‘magic hour’ and sometimes it is just that. The heavy, golden light suffuses everything with a glow and fullness that gladdens our hearts and delights our eyes. 
  For our poets this was a time of mystery and wonder; between the bright day and the canopy of stars that heralded sleep. 
   This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

  Europe Love Me Back

  Europe, Love Me Back is a collection of relentlessly questing, sharply satirical poems about the continent, and the poet's fraught relationship with it. Hurting yet clear-eyed, Rizwan explores and exposes what it means to be a small brown woman in Dutch suburbs, hospitals and academia
  
  This is an angry love letter, to a place left behind yet always there, continuing to matter and hurt and shape the poet's identity.
  "But no one was interested in eliciting my testimony;
  after all I wasn't dead – I wasn't ill – and hadn't this
  country treated me so well?
  For it is not a human right to be much more than Agamben's bare life,
  to exist in the hallowed halls of the academe,
  because there comes a point when our wanting
  is simply too much, obscene –"

  Brave Faces & Other Smiles

  '…I told you/ I really like your smile./ And to my surprise/ you gave it to me.'
  This astonishing debut by Beth Calverley takes the umbrella theme of the smile and shares it out – with great generosity and care - among a multiplicity of subjects, moods and meanings. Smiles can be brave, shy, sad, or a lighthouse beam of joy. They can be a mess of countless other things.
  This subject seems so appropriate to a poet whose presence, way of reaching out to every member of her audience, and most of all her smile, seem to create smiles all around her. Her leaps of imagination take the breath away. Her use of recurring imagery draws a safety-net of light around her listeners and readers.
  Some of the smiles that inspired poems in this collection are contributed by people whom Beth has met on her adventures with The Poetry Machine. These poems are worthy of your great attention. We dare you not to smile as you read.
  'This is a rich, absorbing, heart-warming collection, sensitive to life's pleasures and pains. Beth Calverley makes us attend differently to ordinary things - a single look can be 'a glass of cold water', a room 'a tangle / of buttery light', a smile 'a too- / tight scrunchy'. We should all smile more, and we should all read more poetry. This collection covers all bases!' - Helen Mort
  Content Warning
  Go gently. This collection is home to all kinds of smiles. Many of the poems in the collection look at how smiles adapt to challenging times as well as positive ones. They explore experiences of mental ill-health, physical ill-health, grief, loss and trauma as well as joy and connection. There is a full list of content warnings at the start of the book and Beth will share CWs during the event.
