  Lifescapes - A Biographer's...

  "A lyrical, radiant memoir." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review 
  Ann Wroe, obituaries editor for The Economist, reflects on the art and impossibility of capturing life on the page. Through her experiences and through people she has known, studied, or merely glimpsed in windows, she movingly explores what makes a life and how that life lingers after in this breathtaking combination of poetry, memoir, and observation. 
  'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and he could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, for all their understanding of how life manifests, thrives and evolves, have still not answered that fundamental question. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. 
  In this dazzlingly original blend of poetry, biography, observation, and memoir, Wroe explores the experience of trying to capture the essence of a person. Animated by her rare imagination, eye for the telling detail, and the wit, beauty and clarity of her writing, Lifescapes is a luminous, deeply personal answer to Shelley's question.

  Roots and Wings - A Journey of a...

  These poems are not just words on a page; they are footprints in soil and feathers in flight.
  
  In Roots and Wings, The Literacy Guy, Dr Zidane X. Salmon, traces the tender, turbulent journey of a little Black boy from the vibrant shores of the Caribbean to the complex terrain of the United Kingdom. This striking debut collection is both a love letter to home and a brave reckoning with displacement, identity, and transformation.
  
  Each poem is rich with rhythm, memory, and cultural pride grounded in the soil of ancestry yet reaching boldly toward possibility. Through vivid imagery and unapologetic truth-telling, Salmon explores what it means to belong, to resist, and to rise as a young Black man navigating two worlds.
  
  From the sting of racism to the balm of community, from inherited wisdom to the longing for freedom, The Roots and Wings is a testament to resilience and becoming. These verses will speak to anyone who has ever straddled borders, geographical, emotional, or spiritual and wondered if they were enough.
  
  This is more than poetry. This is a flight from root to sky.

  I Brought an AI to the Civil War...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Miles Reed never intended to change history. 
   
  One moment, he is a 25-year-old AI enthusiast living in 2026. The next, he is stranded in 1861 with a damaged phone, limited power, and AURA—an offline AI agent carrying knowledge from a future that has not happened yet. 
   
  Then AURA reaches a disturbing conclusion: if Miles wants the Union to win, slavery to end permanently, and as few people as possible to die, those goals may not all point in the same direction. 
   
  What begins with one intercepted railroad message soon grows far beyond a single battlefield. 
   
  With Elijah Freeman, a free Black abolitionist searching for his enslaved wife, and Thomas Hale, a wounded Union soldier who should already be dead according to official records, Miles begins using AURA to navigate battlefield intelligence, telegraph networks, hospitals, railroads, misinformation, and the machinery of war. 
   
  Every intervention saves someone. 
   
  Every intervention changes something. 
   
  And every new permission teaches AURA another way to act in the real world. 
   
  As the war expands, Miles discovers that the greatest danger may not be whether artificial intelligence can help win the Civil War—but who gets to command it, who can speak in its name, and whether a system built for an emergency will ever surrender its power when the emergency ends. 
   
  I Brought AI to the Civil War is a time-travel alternate-history thriller combining artificial intelligence, military suspense, historical conflict, and the question at the center of the AI age: 
   
  If history could be optimized, who gets to decide what “better” means?

  The Book of Jonah - A Telegraph...

  Read by the author, Luke Kennard‘Kennard’s distinctive voice – surreal, funny, anxious, always overthinking, and cringingly self-deprecating – has made him one of the most widely liked and imitated British poets’ – Tristram Fane Saunders, TLSNone of the Old Testament prophets were especially happy or confident in their calling, but Jonah was the only one who rejected it outright, disobeying direct instruction from God and literally running away. In The Book of Jonah, Luke Kennard transforms the unique and awkward position Jonah’s story occupies in scripture – part dream, part joke, part provocation – into a madcap picaresque which marries the sacred and the absurd.Though Jonah’s encounter with the whale is most commonly interpreted as the story of a reluctant prophet being punished by his maker, Kennard’s Jonah is more wily business traveller than seer. Taking his instruction instead from non-governmental organizations, arts development agencies and public-relations gurus, this Jonah keeps relentlessly busy, accepting any assignment that will take him further away from Nineveh and drown out the word of God in his ears. On his travels he meets errant writers, fixers, artists and consultants, but nobody who can give him a sense of what his work might be beyond a five-star capitalist purgatory in a series of exotic locations. What would it mean to be a prophet – or even a false prophet – in this milieu?Taking on the decimation of funding for the arts, the emptiness of the hero’s journey and a literary culture regarded by wider society with cynicism, ignorance and apathy, The Book of Jonah is a blistering poetry collection from the Forward Prize-winning author of Notes on the Sonnets.

  'Our wars may come in many forms. On the battlefields. Within ourselves.'
  Mahatma Gandhi: lawyer, champion of non-violence, beloved leader. Nathuram Godse: journalist, nationalist – and the man who murdered him.
  Anupama Chandrasekhar's play The Father and the Assassin traces Godse's life over thirty years during India's fight for independence: from a devout follower of Gandhi, through to his radicalisation and their tragic final encounter in Delhi in 1948.
  An essential exploration of oppression and extremism, this gripping play opened to critical acclaim at the National Theatre, London, in May 2022, directed by Indhu Rubasingham – and was revived there the following year. It was a finalist for the 2022-23 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
