Summary

Twenty-five is so unique, let it be the only number you ever use.
 What is so special about twenty-five? because I chose it.
 
And so it is in life, whatever you decide is unique will be.
You only need to say it and agree, and watch the world join you and say yes, 
indeed, you are right, twenty-five is truly special. 
 
Always remember this: you are capable of making anything unique; you are powerful.
 
Sole is a collection of incredible and mind-blowing poems, with life lessons for you to live to fullness and be free.
 
It is true that a good number of people believe in greatness, but only a few understand that achieving it could depend on the extent to which you want it.
 
You can not have greatness without first yearning for it. Greatness happens to only those who desire to live great and go on the journey to achieving it. 
Do you genuinely yearn for greatness or assume that distinction is meant for a selected few?
 
No one is born to leave a mark of greatness; whether rich or not, it is our responsibility to make great things happen to us; and you must first understand this.

    Songs for My Father is a raw and honest collection of free verse poetry about the author’s relationship with her father. It chronicles how his anger and abuse left her emotionally trapped for many years, and how she found her way back into herself through her art.Katherine Lazaruk takes the reader through her early childhood experiences, drawing connections between how family, music, and learning shaped the writer and artist within her. It is a poignant window into the things that so often go unspoken, the elephants in the rooms of our families. Readers who have experienced what it means to be the outsider or scapegoat in their family of origin will be uplifted by this vision of how to break cycles of abuse and reclaim themselves through therapeutic and artistic journeys.Songs for My Father is at times dark, at times uplifting, and always deeply human.

    Homography - with a foreword by...

    Homography: mapping multiple perspectives of a single subject; words with the same form but different meanings (see gay, story); homosexual history approached through autobiography; projective transformation (from personal to political plane). Evans uses his own relationships—sexual and familial, chosen and biological—to explore queer heritage. In this collection you'll happen upon ancestors from antiquity to present day including Narcissus and Derek Jarman, as well as iconic venues like the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. There is imagery drawn from the natural world, and from to the underworlds of fetish and clubbing—a diversity echoed in forms concrete and classical. There is also shame, and there is trauma, but always leavened by fierce humour and hope for our future. This bold and beautiful third collection from Polari Prize longlisted poet Nathan Evans features poems published by Royal Society of Literature, Muswell Press, Broken Sleep and Fourteen Poems. It is edited by TS Eliot Prize winner Joelle Taylor and published for LGBTQIA+ History Month 2026.

    The return of a spectacular, reviled, and iconic classic of American filth—listen as Waters himself acts out each role!John Waters takes us back to the scene of his original crime against good taste. Listen as Babs Johnson fights to hold on to her title as “Filthiest Person Alive,“ fending off the craven attempts to dethrone her by her nemeses Connie and Raymond Marble.Waters takes us on a romp through his filthy vision of Baltimore, from a child’s playpen occupied by an egg-worshipping grandmother to unhinged kangaroo courts, to the film’s iconic and revolting coup de grace (no spoilers, but it is just as stomach-churning on the page more than fifty years later!). Pink Flamingos is John Waters at his provocative, disgusting, piety-puncturing best, with the hellish and hilarious trash masterpiece that first made him a household name.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

    A Scent of Heaven is food for the soul lost in the dark night of the soul. This body of poems heals the wounds of the hopeless on every level-- many have found freedom in this text. Written as an ekphrastic text, the cover met Igwe with the telling of her story, and the stories of her people. These words are a radically honest approach to the altar of the soul, and the words invite you to join in this recounting of the body, mind and Spirit. Written by a living ancestor for other living ancestors--those who are wading the deep and dark at the bottom of the sea, here they found me a bit of me. This work is heavily influenced by Igwe's spiritual journey and her life existing between cultures: a quintessential, Nigerian brand of Christianity and her forays into the world of Odinani and ancestral veneration.

    The Complete Works of J.M. Synge. 
Riders to the Sea: A mother and her daughters are dealing with a familial curse that seems to cause all of the men in the family to die. Anxieties come to a peak when the last, remaining son is getting ready to ride out to sea in order to try and provide for his family. 
Shadow of the Glen: A contemplative Drama in One Act about how a women's integrity can be unjustly scrutinized through hearsay and speculation, and how forcing those opinions out into the open can have disastrous consequences for everyone involved. 
The Tinker's Wedding: A story of two young tinkers trying to con a travelling holy man into marrying them, all while their mother is constantly trying to satiate her indomitable thirst for drink, thereby inadvertently causing more problems than the drink is worth. Blaming, miscommunication, and utter tomfoolery ensues, leading to the final culmination of each party getting ready to pounce on each other's necks and outrageously strangle each other Saturday-morning-cartoon style. 
The Well of the Saints: A blind couple regains their sight only to realize they hate the look of one another. Hilarity and pigheadedness ensues. 
Deirdre, a woman of immeasurable beauty, is betrothed/condemned to the King of Ulster, Conchubar. But in true mythological fashion, there is a prophecy which prevents this--. Loyalty, familial ties, and unadulterated love will be strained and broken, with only one question remaining: Who will be left to admire the beauty and sorrow of life? 
Playboy of the Western World: A young traveler has come from out of town boasting that he's committed patricide, which, rather than ostracizing him, causes many women of the town to become morbidly curious about this young man, including the prettiest girl in town and the quite newly vivacious widow. But what happens when the supposedly dead father shows up in town to whoop his son into submission?

    "We are such stuff as dreams are made on."

Transport yourself to a remote, enchanted island in William Shakespeare's final masterpiece, The Tempest. Prospero, the usurped Duke of Milan, has spent twelve years in exile, mastering the occult arts and commanding the spirits of the isle. When a magical storm brings his treacherous enemies to his shores, Prospero finally has the chance to settle the score.

The play is a breathtaking blend of spectacle and soul-searching. Guided by the ethereal spirit Ariel and hindered by the earthy, resentful Caliban, Prospero orchestrates a series of illusions to confront his brother's betrayal. Yet, amid the schemes of revenge, a tender romance blossoms between his daughter, Miranda, and the shipwrecked Prince Ferdinand.

A profound meditation on the nature of authority, the bond of family, and the power of mercy, The Tempest is often seen as Shakespeare's farewell to the stage. This definitive edition captures the play's unique atmospheric beauty and its timeless message of reconciliation.

Surrender to the magic of the isle. Buy "The Tempest" today and experience the Bard's final, visionary work.
