  Peter Raynard's Manland is a bold, brilliant and outspoken new collection of poems that scrutinise men and manhood, mental health, working class lives and disability. Aloud and alive with music, wit, anger and rebellion, this is an accomplished, politically-aware and vital book.
  Raynard is a skilled observer, and these razor-sharp poems document parenthood through the lens of a stay-at-home dad, attempt to tell the truth about men and depression, study our cultural, social and medical relationships with drugs and drug-taking, and lay bare the realities of life at the sharpest edges of society. By turns frank, painful and bleakly funny, this humane and brilliant book encompasses pride and prejudices, the bonds between lads and dads, the toxic pressures of masculinity and the way illness and poverty irrevocably shape lives.

  To all who knew him, the man himself was at least as important as his work. "As to his talk" — I quote again from Mr. Somerset — "he was a spendthrift. I mean that he never saved anything up as those writer fellows so often do. He was quite inconsequent and just rippled on, but was always ready to attack a careless thinker. On the other hand, he was extremely tolerant of fools, even bad poets who are the worst kind of fools — or rather the hardest to bear — but that was kindness of heart."Of his personal appearance a good deal has been said. "One who knew him," writing in one of the daily papers, said that "to look at, he was part of the youth of the world. He was one of the handsomest Englishmen of his time. His moods seemed to be merely a disguise for the radiance of an early summer's day." (From Rupert Brooke: A Biographical Note by Margaret Lavington in THE COLLECTED POEMS OF RUPERT BROOKE, (from which this poem is taken.)

  When a popular actress recruits him to write a play for her, Prab seizes the opportunity to expose the injustice of factory conditions and the rumours of child exploitation. But in his fight for change, is he ready to risk his future, his family and even his own life?
  Winner of Theatre Uncut's Political Playwriting Award, Sonali Bhattacharyya's Chasing Hares is a tale of resistance and dignity in the face of global exploitation. It was premiered at the Young Vic Theatre, London, in July 2022, directed by Milli Bhatia.

  A collection to inspire discussions, debate and embolden the difficulties faced by women in the healthcare system.
  
  
  This is a bilingual anthology of new writing from 13 women poets of Wales who suffer with pain and/or chronic illness and health conditions. The aim of the book is to bring about change in legislation, and a voice for the women of Wales and beyond, who are not given the autonomy and power of voice to speak up about their own bodies within the patriarchal healthcare system. The book will be distributed in GP surgeries and healthcare settings and is designed to open up conversations for the women and men that use them and work in them. The book is edited by Hanan Issa and Gwyneth Lewis. A powerful and unflinching collection of poems about living with long term health conditions.
  
  'It is an act of testimony, a call to awareness, and, in many ways, a rallying cry.' – Dr Helen Munro, Clinical Lead Women's Health Network in Wales
  
  'I hope that any woman reading this will find comfort in these pages. You may be unwell. The future may be uncertain. But you are not alone and do not have to endure pain by yourself.' – Hanan Issa, National Poet of Wales
  
  'All the poets in this book have, in some way … found the creative resources to respond to the surreal world of illness in poems that show insight, generosity and a joy that defy the downward pull of being constantly ill at ease. This is a significant human achievement.' – Gwyneth Lewis
  
  
  Casgliad pwerus a dewr o gerddi yn trafod byw gyda chyflyrau iechyd hirdymor.
  
  'Fel cyfanwaith, mae'r gyfrol hon yn weithred o dystiolaeth, yn alwad am ymwybyddiaeth, ac, mewn sawl ffordd, yn gri i godi llais.' – Dr Helen Munro, Arweinydd Clinigol Rhwydwaith Iechyd Menywod yng Nghymru
  
  'Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd unrhyw fenyw sy'n darllen yn canfod cysur yn y tudalennau hyn. Efallai eich bod yn sâl. Efallai bod y dyfodol yn ansicr. Ond dydych chi ddim ar eich pen eich hun a does dim rhaid i chi ddioddef poen ar eich pen eich hun.' – Hanan Issa, Bardd Cenedlaethol Cymru
  
  'Mae pob un o'r beirdd yn y gyfrol hon wedi ... dod o hyd i adnoddau creadigol i ymateb i fyd swrrealaidd salwch mewn cerddi sy'n dangos dealltwriaeth a haelioni yn ogystal a llawenydd sy'n gwrthsefyll syrthni anhwylder. Mae hon yn gamp 'fenywol' arwyddocaol.' – Gwyneth Lewis
