Summary

The Apothecary of Flight by Jane Burn is a heady flight into the art of poetry itself: its vital importance as a tool for expression; for understanding and translating the self; for articulating the sheer force and joy of poetry and the way, for a person with autism, it can hold, identify and celebrate both the smallest and weightiest of life's experiences and concepts.
These unfettered and exquisite poems pulse with the details of both the wild and tame, the sacred and the humane – observing nature and animals with an artist's eye, capturing the ways in which place and time can hold the experiences of the body, memory and identity. This ongoing dialogue with poetry itself sets a visionary path towards discovery – the page as a place to root oneself, a place of deep creative freedom, self-permission, belonging and defiance. Ultimately, the form, presence and physicality of Burn's extraordinary poems move us with compassion towards the happiest solitude of words, and of love.

    'Nothing is any longer one thing.'
From a teenage encounter with Elizabeth I, through infatuations, voyages and even a change of gender, Orlando lives out five centuries of life and love before they finally find the courage to truly be themselves.
Neil Bartlett's sparkling adaptation of Virginia Woolf's famous fantasy finds powerful contemporary relevance in her vision of equal rights to love for bodies of every kind – and brings it to life on the stage with a kaleidoscope of theatrical styles, overseen by the haunting figure of Woolf herself.
It premiered at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End in November 2022, in a production directed by Michael Grandage and starring Emma Corrin in the title role. Written for a diverse ensemble of nine or more actors, this adaptation will appeal to any theatre or company looking to entertain their audiences with a bold new take on this iconic tale of love and transformation.

    The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë brings together the full body of poetic work by one of the most powerful and enigmatic voices of English literature. Best known for her novel Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë was also a poet of remarkable intensity, whose verses reveal a deeply imaginative, spiritual, and fiercely independent mind.

Written largely in solitude, Brontë's poems explore themes of nature, solitude, freedom, death, faith, and the eternal struggle between the human soul and the forces that bind it. Her language is stark and elemental, often drawing on the wild landscapes of the Yorkshire moors to express inner passion and transcendence. Many of the poems reflect a longing for spiritual liberation and a defiant resistance to confinement—both physical and emotional.

The collection also includes poems connected to the imaginary world of Gondal, a richly invented realm that served as a creative outlet for Brontë's most dramatic and visionary ideas. These works showcase her gift for lyrical intensity, rhythmic power, and emotional depth.

The Complete Poems of Emily Brontë offers readers an intimate encounter with a singular poetic voice—one that is haunting, uncompromising, and timeless. This volume stands as an essential addition to any lover of classic poetry, revealing the profound inner world of a writer whose poetic legacy continues to inspire and captivate generations.
