  New poems on love, family, and art from the author of Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden 
   
  America, A Love Story is Camille T. Dungy's powerful testament to living and loving as a Black woman and mother in today's America, and her first book of poetry in almost a decade. Piercingly honest and deeply compassionate, this poetry moves through the mounting griefs of contemporary American life with unwavering clarity. The book is part indictment, part celebration—full of gratitude, fear, resistance, and hope. Dungy explores intimacy, parenting, racism, history, and the natural world with clarity and depth. Some poems reflect on the past; others respond to the work of contemporary Black artists. Many are formally playful, including a series of 700-character poems inspired by the 700 hours of sleep a mother loses in her child's first year. Gorgeous, bright, and bold, these poems speak from the edges—between mother and child, body and earth, self and country. They hold tension and tenderness in equal measure, creating a space for love amidst uncertainty.

  'You weren't moving. Your hair was soaked. We saw you.'

  A poignant exploration of what it means to say goodbye, Liam Borrett's play This is Living was first performed in a critically acclaimed and award-winning production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014. It had its London premiere at Trafalgar Studios, in 2016.

  '"O, Jesus bless us, he is born with teeth!"
  
  And so was I, which plainly signified
  
  That I should snarl and bite, play the dog.'
  Henry VI, Part 3
  Christopher Marlowe – rockstar of Elizabethan theatre and notorious spy for the Crown – danger and seduction combined. William Shakespeare – jobbing actor and promising young playwright – dazzled by Marlowe, but with ambitions of his own.
  When the pair meet in the backroom of a pub to collaborate on a cycle of history plays, tensions rise as they navigate the perils of art under an oppressive regime, and flirt like young men with everything to lose…
  An explosively entertaining duel of wits, words and powerplay, Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth is a playful and daring imagining of the relationship between two literary icons. The play was first performed in Houston, Texas, in 2022, where it won several major awards. In 2025, it received its European premiere at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, produced by Playful Productions, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Grain of Sand Productions, directed by RSC Co-Artistic Director Daniel Evans, and starring Ncuti Gatwa as Kit and Edward Bluemel as Will.

  What the Sea Gives

  Alan Riach

  Fake news rules the airwaves, AI fills the skies, where's the information you can trust?
  Alan Riach's new collection of poems provides two answers: only in the work of art, whether poem, painting, musical composition, or else in the object of your closest attention, a lover, close family, friends. These gifts you find or dive for, sometimes simply walking on the beach, sometimes swimming deep, into the abyss. There are new discoveries, particular points that make co-ordination possible, and even, maybe, progress. But each of these moments of focus are on the edge, a coastline between land and sea, vulnerable and open to tide or storm, landslide or hurricane, the rising swamp of apathy, the tornado of mob populism. Art can be hijacked. Friends can be seduced.
  What the Sea Gives is perfect for not only lovers of poetry but any readers who value the importance of art and the connection it provides us.

  When Frank’s wife of many years is killed in a car accident and he is left badly injured, he quickly grows tired of life. No longer wishing to be a burden on his daughters who are missing out on their own lives by having to care for him, he hatches a plan. 
  Heading off out onto the mean streets of New York, the city he grew up in, Frank decides that he will find a way to end his life there without resorting to the sin of taking it himself. 
  However, his plans are thrown into confusion when he bumps into an old friend, Carlo. In years gone by Frank had helped Carlo, who was part of the Mafia, with fraudulent insurance claims but had turned his back on a life of crime, leading to Carlo being demoted by his bosses. 
  Now, the two old friends catch up on past times as Frank’s plans for his final hours slowly draw closer. But Carlo has a dark secret that he has kept from Frank. The resentment he had been carrying after being betrayed by his friend had been allowed to fester and boil to the surface, and now he is about to reveal the full shocking truth of his actions to him. 
  How will Frank react? Will he still be able to find a way to end his life on his terms? Or is that nagging feeling at the back of his mind about to show him something terrifying?
