  A memoir made of poetry, Dress Rehearsals documents a decade of performing womanhood in a non-binary body. 
  Dress Rehearsals is a raw and beautiful exploration of what it means to be feminine. Beginning with teenage yearning, these poems both celebrate and grieve Madison's sexual awakening as they transition into the glittering femme fatale. 
  Navigating first love, menstruation, chronic illness, sex and patriarchal power dynamics, Dress Rehearsals is a coming-of-age story that has never been told - a decade of performing womanhood in an elaborate and shifting costume.  
  This collection is a unique and transformative experience and, with its careful balance of dark humour and warmth, a queer celebration of gender.

  For centuries England has always had a leading and admired reputation for its poets and poetry.  In this volume we explore those born in the East of England who created such revered, enduring and respected verse.

  The Snow Globe

  The Snow Globe is Jenny Pagdin's powerful, sensitive and stark debut collection. Written from first-hand experience, under the glass dome of postpartum psychosis, her poetry depicts a fearsome, glittering inner storm of severe mental illness during new motherhood, moving through illness, through snow flurry and sunshine, to a place of recovery and love.
  Threaded through this book are illuminating and courageous poems that settle and unsettle in equal measure. They cluster moth-like around spiritual and mythical figures, unravelling and remaking themselves with needlework and yarn, threaded along shorelines and under starry night skies. Jenny Pagdin's skilful and attentive use of a variety of forms reflects multiple and jarring realities – with poems dancing their own chaotic, fragmented and strange glinting beauty towards resolution.

  This Audiobook collection therapeutic poetry ( Book 1 of 3 ) of his REFLECTION SERIES that marked the beginning of Stephens’ literary journey. As soon as you hear, the narrator‘s voice, an army veteran himself, his highs and his lows don’t just read words they tell the story the way it should be told . A raw reflection and survival, The Mirror: Black Edition confronts trauma, PTSD, and resilience through verse. Each poem acts as a mirror, inviting readers to confront their own scars while discovering the strength to endure. If this Audiobook can help one person in the dark or in silence, then it was worth every cent I spend creating this vision.  Thank you for taking the time to sample or purchase.
