Synopsis

'One day all you care about is music, fashion and boys. The next day there's no food. Piece by piece your world starts to change so you change with it.'
Mostar, Yugoslavia, 1988. Mili, a boy from out of town, dives from the famous Old Bridge. Mina, a local girl, watches. As he falls, she begins falling for him.
Mostar, Bosnia, 1992. In a town of growing divisions, Mina and Mili never doubt that their future lies together. But nor can they imagine the dangers that future will bring.
Winner of the 2020 Papatango New Writing Prize, Igor Memic's play Old Bridge is an epic love story exploring the impact of a war that Europe forgot, and the love and loss of those who lived through it. It was first produced by Papatango at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2021, directed by Selma Dimitrijevic.
Memic went on to win the Most Promising Playwright Award at the 2022 Offies (Off West End Awards), and was also named Most Promising Playwright (jointly with Zadie Smith) at the 2022 Critics' Circle Awards. Old Bridge won the Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate Theatre Award at the 2022 Olivier Awards.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume England is engulfed in Civil War.  The Divine right of Royalty versus The Will of Parliament.  The King versus the People.  Poets, born into one side or the other, use chosen words to fight this literary war.  Here, the flamboyant, entitled Cavaliers reveal poets and poems that both embellish their cause and leave us a glorious poetic legacy.

    This poetry book is for those who are seeking the most aligned path to find their True Self. 
    Yoga is the art 
    Of merging your soul with the One 
    So that you can shine bright 
    Like the blazing Sun 
    Illuminating the Earth 
    Making it a home 
    So that no one here 
    Has to walk alone 
    Together we rise 
    With the power of unity 
    And stand together 
    As a global community 
    The time has come 
    To shine your light 
    So that others can dissolve 
    The dark of night 
    And know the truth 
    That lies in the soul 
    Realize your divinity 
    Let yourself become whole 
    This channeled poetry book was inspired by the different yogic paths that lead to self realization and enlightenment. 
    If you’re on the path of enlightenment, and searching for truth, allow Yoga The Science Of Self Realization to guide you back to your true self!

    The Span of a Small Forever - Poems

    With echoes of Audre Lorde’s The Cancer Journals and Susan Sontag’s Illness as Metaphor, an extraordinary debut collection from a prize-winning poet that chronicles a Black woman’s journey through disability, the byzantine healthcare system, life-giving, taking, and sacrifice. 
    With breathtaking lyricism and a vulnerability that pierces the heart, April Gibson journeys through the emotional abysses, the daily pleasures, the frustrations, and the joys of being a Black woman living with chronic illness.  
    Gibson offers a unique perspective on “the body,” viewing disability and healthcare through both feminist and socio-economic lenses filtered by race and faith. Through gorgeous sensory language that migrates memories, from carefree innocence to the ravages formed in its absence, Gibson bears witness to grief, courage, and resistance to redefine herself on her own terms.   
    Gibson presents her body as a “looking glass” that re-envisions illness, womanhood, motherhood, religious relics and collective loss through her physicality, through her lamenting, through her unearthing, reckoning and rebirth. Not only do we see her, but see the “we” in her. The Span of a Small Forever is both testimony and transformation—heart-shattering in its honesty, it ultimately offers us transcendent beauty, nourishment, and the strength we need to go on in our lives.
