  A Valedictory Bestiary - Elegies...

  M. Coleridge Scott

  This anthology of eleven stirring tales, composed in melodic rhyming couplets, sweeps readers into a realm where myth intertwines with romance across diverse landscapes: from the Peruvian Amazon to the plains of Africa, the vastness of the Pacific to the spiritual heights of Tibet. Each narrative celebrates the wild, noble beasts that champion the cause of their land: wolves liberating Athens, pumas safeguarding the Amazon, bears emancipating prisoners in wartime Germany, and more. 
  These creatures not only symbolize the spirit of their homelands but also the myths and history embedded within, now imperilled by relentless
   modernization.
   
  Scott’s weaves a poetic tapestry reminiscent of Coleridge’s ‘Ancient Mariner,’ Kipling’s ‘Just So Stories,’ and the adventurous spirit of Patrick Leigh Fermor, all while channelling Mary Pope Osborne’s fascination with myth. It’s a literary mosaic, unparalleled in ambition, which speaks eloquently to the urgency of preserving our world’s cultural and ecological richness. The stories, though they grapple with themes of loss and environmental decay, also ignite hope for spiritual rebirth and the triumph of nature’s indomitable heart.

  The Strange Egg - A Symptoms Diary

  'Doctor, I had a terrible dream.
  In my dream I saw my own body, and I saw what you will do to it.'
  A woman is faced, month after month, with the birth of a strange egg. Her doctor asks that she take notes on her symptoms, documenting black blood clots as big as pennies, winking stars in her eyes, and relentless pain. As the woman waits for aid from her doctor, she begins to have strange premonitions of what will be done to her body. The egg, meanwhile, is watchful and demanding. Impatient.
  The Strange Egg is as gorgeous as it is horrifying. Highly original, it challenges long-held beliefs that people of marginalised genders are unreliable and irrational witnesses to our own bodies.
  The Strange Egg is a luminous gothic prose poem that delves into the mythopoeic to express injustice at the hands of abusive medical systems.

  One of the very first publications to come off the Rough Trade Books press, Pessimism is for Lightweights began life as thirteen pieces of courage and resistance from the pen of the one and only Salena Godden. These are poems written for the Women's March, poems that salute peaceful protest, poems on sexism and racism, class discrimination, poverty and homelessness, immigration and identity. This new edition expands the collection to full book length and shows Godden at her inimitable best—deft technique and powerful emotional heft, with additional new poems reflecting on our fast- changing world with her trademark humour and resilience. This is a book full of light, courage and most of all hope..

  Kevin Goes to Japan 1 - Stories...

  This book is designed initially for Japanese learners, N5 to N3, but it's also suitable for people looking for a bilingual novel in Japanese and English. 
  The main character, Kevin Cartwright, visits Japan on Working Holiday, and he falls in love with a Japanese woman who is a colleague of his Japanese best friend, Yukio. And Tomoko, an almost "Yandere" woman who loves Yukio, is involved in Kevin's life. The four main characters weave this story. Kevin enjoys living in Japan, but he wants to remain there after his expired visa. The readers would experience through Kevin living in Tokyo; how to write a Japanese CV, manners, and culture. Through the stories, I introduce many idioms and expressions native Japanese use. It consists of 16 chapters, and each one comes along with word lists and 20 JLPT practice tests. This book is also great for intermediate levels because they need to understand more natural living Japanese. The audible version comes soon! The learners can listen to the stories in both English and Japanese and practice pronouncing words. I hope you enjoy studying Japanese with this book!
