Summary

Light Year by Jennifer Wong is a meditation on time. These poems delve into the mind of a poet crossing spaces of deep wounds, love and healing: a constellation of friendships and love as she moves through upheaval, transformation and change.
The collection offers glimpses into the journeys of a migrant, a daughter, and a mother; with the passage of years, the poems ask what it might mean to move like light itself, beyond expectations and into new ways of understanding ourselves more profoundly. With sublime precision, Jennifer Wong's poetry brings clarity to the spaces between the stars – the time difference between memories and place, between our loved ones, and everything we hold dear in life.

    In the Name of Red - Poems

    From lips and warmed cheeks to silk and falling leaves, the subjects of Z.R. Ghani's poems radiate with redness. Sometimes a cloak, often a shining symbol, Ghani's reds are sacred and dazzling: pomegranates ripening to jewels and perfectly-placed bindis shining like suns.
But something darker lurks beneath the ruby depths. A city is held hostage by a heatwave, a flame is lit in a dark room, a ballerina twists inside a jewellery box.
As though developing photographs, Ghani shines a deep light over her poems as a tool to slowly make the unseen visible, the unsaid audible. This is a debut book rich with desire, shame, grief, faith, love, and at the forefront of it all: the colour red.

    Negro Explorer at the North Pole

    In this fascinating memoir, Matthew Henson describes the incredibly dangerous, exhausting, and bone-chilling trip to what was until then the never-before reached point on earth, the North Pole."Robert Peary is remembered as the intrepid explorer who successfully reached the North Pole in 1909. Far less celebrated is his companion, Matthew Henson, a black man from Maryland. Henson's gripping memoir, first published in 1912, tells this unsung hero's story in his own words. Henson...was indispensable to the famous explorer's journey; he learned the language of the Eskimos, was an expert dog-sled driver and even built the sleds...." (Publishers Weekly) "An original document.... One of the giants of polar exploration, Henson had the graceful modesty of genuinely big men.... The world would know even more about him now if his commander, Peary, had been less an egotist and more generous in sharing credit for his discovery of the North Pole." (Washington Post Book World)"A really valuable addition to the literature of [polar exploration].... Filled with incident, occupation, description, emotion, [and] comment." (The New York Times)

    'Death could drop from the dark / As easily as song…'

Notable for its profound empathy, philosophical insight and visceral descriptions, this stunning collection of poetry cements Isaac Rosenberg as one of the most distinctive voices amongst the World War I poets.
Isaac Rosenberg: The Selected Poetry contains some of the writer's most extraordinary works. From haunting meditations on war with 'Break of Day in the Trenches' and 'Dead Man's Dump', to the fleeting moments of hope during battle in 'Returning, We Hear the Larks', this series of deeply affecting poems unveil in unflinching detail the devastating consequences of war. Brimming with raw honesty, vivid imagery and spiritual ruminations, Rosenberg's work blends various modernist techniques to powerfully convey the human condition under duress. This audiobook edition is beautifully narrated by Ben Allen.
Isaac Rosenberg (1890 – 1918) was an English artist and poet. He served in the First World War, writing poetry in the trenches before tragically dying in action. His work is considered as some of the very best war poetry of all time.
