    Taking a profound look at the African American experience and the far-reaching impacts of colonization and Western Civilization, this intimate relationship portrayed through poetry offers a truthful reflection that resonates not only in the United States but also throughout the diaspora. This raw and spiritual interpretation prompts the listener to contemplate and raises more questions than it answers. 
    Through a blend of poetic voice, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual discovery, How To Become The Conqueror: An African American Revelation serves as both an emotional revelation and a call to consciousness. Performed and narrated by the author, Amsara Sekhita Mai Holly, with original vocals by the sister group Holly Girlz, this audiobook delivers a stirring sonic journey that uplifts, awakens, and challenges. 
    Amsara Sekhita Mai Holly is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, actress, author, filmmaker and businesswoman.

    n BURRITT’S RAPIDS AND BEYOND, “whatever flows, remains.” From Winnipeg, Vancouver, Montreal, and rural Ontario, Louis Contant considers his place in the world. Fireflies, whip-poor-wills, squirrels, dragonflies, waterfalls, and the soulful notes of a sonata drift through these meditations on nature, spirituality, writing, love, family, friendship, and music. Louis’ poems inhabit sorrow and suffering yet are rich with praise, delighting in the comforts and joys of ritual and routine alongside brevity and ephemera. Whether considering the “alpine range” of Auden’s contributions to literature, the solitude of the poet, the “molded contours” of friendship, the possibility of life on other planets, or the cedar cottage sweetness of home, Louis reminds us that “what really matters is happening all the time / without us.” 
    With humour, wit, and humbleness, Louis confronts his own mortality and celebrates human connection in an age of technology and social unrest. Playful rhymes and uncompromising narratives are accompanied by the poet’s feisty resilience and tuneful undercurrents of grace. 
    Published posthumously, and compiled and contextualized by the poet’s wife, Wilma Brown, Burritt’s Rapids and Beyond showcases and pays tribute to the life of one wise and curious man. At its heart, this book asks what it means to truly belong to this world, to live in it with pleasure and reverence, trying not to step on any wildflowers.

    Acerbic, precise and very funny, Pamela Crowe's poems explore home life and relationships in a delightfully forthright voice. Secret frustrations and anxieties are aired and private fantasies brought into the light, as odes blur into diatribes and psychodramas become love poems.
    
    Woven throughout The Bell Tower is a love of Jane Austen, Sylvia Plath, Wendy Cope and – above all – Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones. These are fierce, acutely observed poems that give weight to domestic minutiae and put words to helpless howls into the abyss.
    You, the cloud.
    
    Oh look! there you are,
    
    blobbing along as if you're best friends with rain
    
    and thunder is your dad. Fuck off.

    An upbeat and empowering wartime tale about teamwork, collaboration and beating the odds.
    It's 1943, World War II rages on, and the men are gone. It's left to the 'women in the workmen's boots' to pick up the pieces in the factory. They're being relied upon to build the planes that could win the war, and they take the responsibility seriously.
    On this particular day, they're attempting to build a Wellington bomber in record-breaking time: under twenty-four hours. As temperatures rise and prejudices bubble up, will they be able to pull together in time? 
    Rachel Harper's play Wellington 24 was first performed by the students at Lady Eleanor Holles School in Hampton, as part of the Write the Girl project.
