  Life can be a tumultuous journey, filled with both heartache and joy. Since his teenage years, the actor Mem Ferda has poured his soul into crafting poetry, and now feels compelled to share these words with the world. Through these verses, he strives to awaken deep emotions, ignite inspiration, and spread positivity, all the while offering a glimpse into the tapestry of reality, as seen through his own introspection and experiences.
   
  These poems are like kaleidoscopes, each revealing a unique pattern, open to interpretation based on one's worldview, values, and principles. They emanate from the depths of the author's being, bearing the weight of true-life encounters. As readers immerse themselves in these words, they will, hopefully, find solace and delight, just as he has found solace and delight in their creation. If these poems can elicit such a response, then they will have accomplished their purpose.

  Columbus - 19th century poem...

  James Russell Lowell was born on 22nd February 1819 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 
  Lowell graduated from Harvard in 1838, and thence on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School.  
  His literary life began in 1841 with his first published collection of poetry.  Three years later he married Maria White and they had several children although, sadly, only one was to survive childhood. 
  A consuming issue at the time was the abolition of slavery.  Lowell was a staunch supporter even going so far as to move to Philadelphia to edit an abolitionist newspaper.  His poems were fully in support of Emancipation and the ending of this terrible abomination.  His later views were milder and came in for some criticism.  
  His publication in 1848 of the long poem ‘A Fable for Critics’, satirising the poets and critics of the then current poetry scene caused an uproar.  That same year came ‘The Biglow Papers’, which increased his fame and his finances.  His use of the Yankee accent in his character’s dialogue was an inspiration for many. 
  Maria died in 1853 and Lowell decided to travel to Europe for some time before returning to Harvard to take up a professorship of languages.   In 1857 he re-married and also took on the editorship of that key periodical ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ whilst continuing to teach at Harvard. 
  Lowell wrote and published poetry and essay collections throughout his literary career and is acknowledged as one of the ‘Fireside Poets’, a group of New England poets that rivalled the popularity of British poets.  Their work was not controversial and suitable for whole families to enjoy hence their name and appeal.  Whilst Lowell’s own work does not now attract the same praise as his then contemporaries, he was their equal. 
  Towards the end of his life Lowell was appointed as ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain and later to the Court of St. James's.  
  His last years were a return home to his estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  By the summer of 1891 doctors had diagnosed cancer in his kidneys, liver and lungs.  There was nothing that they could do except prescribe opium for the pain. 
  James Russell Lowell died on the 12th of August 1891 on the Cambridge estate where he was also born.  He was 72.

  'I'll do anything for you. I can do anything for you.'
  Nikita and Riya are two South Asian sisters: insecure, stateless and desperate for somewhere to call 'home'.
  Nikita's work with young migrants requires her to keep her saviour complex in check as she negotiates the challenges and hypocrisy of the third sector. Meanwhile, Riya is offered the chance to create an advocate in the form of a homunculus (or fawn), and sees a chance to elevate herself above the cruelty meted out to others.
  Sonali Bhattacharyya's play King Troll (The Fawn) is a dark and dystopian exploration of migrant experiences in all their complexity – and the troll that lives within all of us, whispering 'me, not us', and definitely 'me first'. It was a finalist for the 2023 Women's Prize for Playwriting, and was first performed as a co-production between Kali Theatre and New Diorama Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Milli Bhatia.

  Robin Rafferty Paxtons Absolute Money | Psychological • Hard • Mysterious 
  She never thought this one day would change her life so drastically... 
  In the shadows of power, where laws are broken and loyalties are sealed with blood, whispers a desire darker than the night. This book is not for the faint of heart. It is a pact with the underworld, signed in sin and desire. 
  Psychological • Hard • Mysterious 
  She was aware of the clatter of her purse as it slipped from her fingers when he pushed her against the large white pillar. He pushed up her dress, reached between her thighs, and groped for her pussy with his fingers. She let it happen. He apparently didn't care about her at all. He was just looking for a pussy to fuck. She wasn't wet, but he didn't care. He turned her to face the pillar and thrust his cock into her from behind. She groaned, but more from pain, because his cock was quite large. While he fucked her from behind, he murmured something in a language she didn't understand. 
  Not suitable for those under 18 years of age.

  Come join me as we enter the scene of a remote military outpost where we'll experience the tumultuous relationship between two embittered souls as they confront the harsh realities of their disintegrating marriage. Oh how lives of others can be so easily dismantled by the whims of the few. 
  "I have lived a life of quiet desperation, clinging to the illusion of happiness. But now, as I stand on the precipice of oblivion, I see the truth with startling clarity. We are all prisoners of our own making, trapped in cages of our own design. And yet, even in the darkest of times, there is a flicker of light. A spark of hope that refuses to be extinguished. I may be flawed, imperfect, but I am still alive. And as long as there is life, there is the possibility of change."
