  Finalist for the 2023 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards
  
  In these peculiar times, we are thrust back into ourselves in a kind of suspension: one in which only private life exists yet threatens to become trivial through a sense of mutual, overarching dread.
  Lent from award-winning writer Kate Cayley is built from this tension, exploring domestic and artistic life amidst the environmental crisis and the surprising ways that every philosophical quandary—large and small—converges in the home, in small objects, conversations, and moments. The grotesque and the tedious, the baroque and the banal, intertwine in the first three sections. Meticulous depictions of spectacle run into the repetition of daily domestic life: trying to explain time to children, day trips to the planetarium, and the warnings of strangers; these are interspersed with depictions such as Mary Shelley recalling the monster, the inner life of a seventeenth century portrait sitter, and Ted Hughes's second wife telling her story to the dead Sylvia Plath. The title section explores religious faith; how belief is itself a repetition, a slow accumulation over time, just like love or forgiveness.
  Lent is an exquisite work of our era, asking us to contemplate what it means to live in a broken world—and why we still find it beautiful.

  Leaves of Grass is a groundbreaking collection of poems by Walt Whitman, often hailed as the most influential American poet of the 19th century. Known for its unconventional themes and free verse style, the work challenged traditional poetic conventions and established Whitman as a revolutionary figure in American literature. 
  At the heart of Leaves of Grass is a celebration of the individual, the body, and the natural world. Whitman's poetry often explores themes of democracy, equality, and the interconnectedness of all things. The collection is filled with vivid imagery, powerful metaphors, and a sense of boundless optimism. 
  One of the most striking aspects of Leaves of Grass is Whitman's use of free verse. By abandoning traditional poetic structures, he was able to capture the rhythm and cadence of everyday speech. This innovation allowed him to express his ideas with greater freedom and spontaneity

  The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a collection of quatrains (four-line verses) attributed to the 12th-century Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer, Omar Khayyam. While the original Persian text is complex and open to interpretation, it is the English translation by Edward Fitzgerald that popularized the work in the Western world. 
  Fitzgerald's translation portrays a world view that is often characterized as: 
  Carpe Diem: Seize the day, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the importance of enjoying the present moment. 
  Skepticism: Questioning traditional beliefs and religious dogma, particularly in relation to the afterlife. 
  Epicureanism: Focusing on pleasure and the senses as the primary goods in life. 
  Fatalism: Accepting one's fate and the inherent unpredictability of existence.
