  Ilya Kaminsky's astonishing parable in poems asks us, What is silence? 
   
   
   
  Deaf Republic opens in an occupied country in a time of political unrest. When soldiers breaking up a protest kill a deaf boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear—they all have gone deaf, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya's girls, heroically teaching signing by day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Ilya Kaminsky's long-awaited Deaf Republic confronts our time's vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them.

  'There was a moment... Where it looked at me. The stag. We looked at each other. And I had this feeling like... Like it was gonna show me something.'
  Meet Oskar, Rio and Hazel: three people getting on with their lives in different corners of the globe. They've never spoken. They've never met. But they're each about to experience a startling wild-animal encounter. One that will transform the way they think about their world.
  From Norway's glittering fjords to Colorado's stunning peaks via Halewood's majestic Tesco, The Walrus Has a Right to Adventure is a swooping, soaring play about instinct, expectation and identity – and what it means to be truly free.
  Inspired by real stories from around the world, Billie Collins's powerful and inventive play premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2025, directed by Nathan Crossan-Smith.

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
   
  England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
   
  In this volume the instantly globally recognisable city of London has, for century after century, dominated the country.  Its rich history of art, culture and commerce interweave with generation after generation of poets to produce a supremely rich tapestry of undimmed brilliance.  Our poets include Alexander Pope, Amy Levy, Edmund Spenser, John Keats, G K Chesterton and a host of others.  Genius has many names.
