  "Dot. Line. Circle. Human." is not an ordinary story. 
  It is a journey. A transformation. 
  A tiny nothing – a dot – falls to Earth and begins to... feel. Think. Grow. 
  Chapter by chapter, it changes its shape – and maybe, so do you. 
  In 51 poetic, surprising, and profound episodes, this dot experiences everything we know ourselves: 
  Doubt, discovery, retreat, departure, pain, hope – and the quiet power of change. 
  What begins harmlessly becomes a subtle reflection of our own development: 
  How we curl up when it gets too much. 
  How we sometimes stumble, crash, break. 
  How we reinvent ourselves – as a line, as a tree, as light. 
  And how we might eventually come to realize: 
  We were never "just a dot." 
  We are a story in motion. 
  With clear language, tender depth, and a touch of cheeky poetry, this book invites you to remember yourself: 
  your roots, your radiance, your humanity. 
  A book to read slowly. 
  And feel for a long time.

  'I don't get angry, people get angry at me. In fact, I've only ever sworn once in a car… in English.'
  In a hotel basement somewhere in Birmingham, three people – a nurse, a delivery driver and an entrepreneur – are attending a speed-awareness course to address their aggressive driving.
  Abz, a leading expert on road safety and the most in-demand course facilitator north of the M25, presents them with a choice: change your ways, or lose your licence. But the training course quickly veers into a tumultuous group-therapy session as they are forced to confront the real question: why are we all so angry?
  Mohamed-Zain Dada's play Speed is a breakneck journey through the daily annoyances and deep-buried secrets that leave us spinning. Wickedly comic and darkly thrilling, it was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Milli Bhatia.

  There is a lot one can learn from the matured butterflies among us. You know the ones who survived the perilous larva stage without being eaten alive and completed the metamorphosis bruised but stronger for the experience. There is profound beauty in the potential wisdom and inspiration available from those matured butterflies willing to share the lessons acquired on their journey. Their observations through the lens of experience and their testament to the survivability of the most harrowing of life’s trials should ensure they are never without an audience.

  The Iliad

  A timeless epic of war, wrath, and the will of the gods.
  
  In the heat of the Trojan War, the Greek army's greatest warrior, Achilles, withdraws from battle after a bitter dispute with King Agamemnon. As the war spirals into chaos, heroes rise and fall, divine forces meddle in mortal affairs, and honor is tested on every side. But when tragedy strikes, Achilles must confront his rage—and his destiny.
  The Iliad is a gripping exploration of glory and grief, love and loss, in a world where even the strongest are at the mercy of fate. This ancient masterpiece still speaks with urgent power to modern listeneres, reminding us what it means to fight, to suffer, and to be human.
  
  Translated by W. H. D. Rouse. Read by Barnaby Edwards.

  Grandfather's Robin

  Grandfather's Robin offers poems about People, Fellow Creatures, Society, Ekphrasis, Scenes and Moods, Survival, and Short Poems. They were written over several years, in response to people seen, read about, or known, and in response to creatures seen, read about, or known. Other poems respond to group and social behaviour, and reflect responses to works of art. Some poems are prompted by the natural world, urban and village life, and thoughts about the survival of all beings. The short poems offer instants both serious and humorous. 
  “So many reasons to enjoy Gillian Bickley’s luminous poetry – humour, depth and wisdom. ... Lovely and evocative, Bickley’s powers of observation and precise, selective description lend many of these poems the power of fine portraiture, a sepia photograph, where we see into the eyes, where we discover essence.” 
  — Jack Mayer, poet (Poems from the Wilderness) 
  “In this work, Gillian Bickley affords us a glimpse into her perspective. She invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry of life and our shared human experience. Why should you read this collection? Because there is no greater privilege than intimacy.” 
   —Mary-Jane Newton poet (Of Symbols Misused, Unlocking) 
    
   “... poems as moments of tranquility in which we can encounter lives unrolling in times that ... are anything but. To make a record such as this is a good resolution indeed, and I am pleased that Gillian has chosen for the cover a moment of tranquility I painted. As Mrs. Dorothy Collins might have said, reflecting, as these poems do, the quietness of a life-long practice, ‘Very well!’” 
  —Steven Schroeder, Chicago
