  Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and the National Book Award in Poetry—a collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 
   
   
   
  The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and white America—to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka's third work of poetry, follows the fighter's journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka's book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson's complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.

  Ovarium - Poems

  Joanna Ingham

  Tender, loving and visceral, Ovarium is a pamphlet of poems about a giant ovarian cyst. The poet charts her journey with the cyst, from diagnosis to surgery to recovery, via a landscape of scanner rooms and hospital wards.
  
  The poems explore the impact of illness, and the body as a site of disgust and shame but also healing and endurance. Ingham's poems are forensic as she looks at the disorientating and sometimes patriarchal language of anatomy and medicine, and the way illness can change the relationship we have with our own bodies.
  I tried to think of you as fruit, growing
  against the sun-warm wall of my gut.
  Melon-headed, you nudged the leafy organs,
  dug out a place for yourself in the plot.
  I never guessed. I was only bloody earth
  to you, a coldframe full of light.
  
  - from 'Cyst'

  A group of teenagers, their lives shaped by billions of seemingly random events going back to before they were born, come together onstage to share stories about their past, their present, and what might lie ahead.
  When This Is Over is a uniquely personal, theatrical celebration of hope, possibility and imagination. It's about how we can work with chaos, and embrace our collective imagination as we prepare for a deeply uncertain future – together.
  Originally conceived by Company Three – and developed alongside more than fifty other youth theatres across the UK – When This Is Over is a play designed to be created and performed by teenage casts, drawing directly on their own life experiences and the stories they want to tell. As with Company Three's widely performed youth-theatre play Brainstorm, the script is a blueprint for an amazing theatrical adventure.
  This published edition contains a series of exercises and activities for schools, youth-theatre groups and community companies to create and perform their own unique productions, and also features the complete script of Company Three's version, which was performed at The Yard, London, in 2022.
  When This Is Over was named Community Project of the Year at The Stage Awards, and Outstanding Drama Initiative at the Music and Drama Education Awards.

  Imagine when the zodiac signs have all gathered together, maybe sharing some drinks and having a long chat—in poetry.  Will they talk about who is more fun? Will they point fingers at who is being dramatic? Or would they talk about the people who represent them and if these people were representing their signs very well? Will these signs be friends? Will Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius throw fire at other signs? Will Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces douse everyone else with water? Will the earth (Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo) and air (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) signs meet? There would surely be intriguing topics and heightened emotions involved in this party. If you want to eavesdrop, get a copy of Astrology Poetry 101: Cypher.

  This collection of short stories and poems ranges from mysterious fires that spring up from the earth to ghostly spirits roaming in a long-forgotten home to true love that is found and lost way too soon. 
  There are tales of gods who have gone mad and those who have forgotten what it feels like to create and love with empathy. There are encounters that seem like normal everyday situations, but they are anything but normal. Dispersed throughout are poems that tie together the ideas of worlds within worlds and galaxies within a grain of sand.
