Summary

'It's funny what people do and what they tell. We're all hiding bits of ourselves. The bits we're not proud of. I can see that now.' 
It's Friday night and Franky is back at her local pub for the first time in a year. Drinks are poured and karaoke is starting, but her return stirs something that has been crackling underneath the noise.
Haunted by grief, Franky's family quietly unravel around her, and buried secrets leak through the cracks in every room. 
A bittersweet, tender exploration of the long trail of grief and the fickleness of memory, Kit Withington's play Heart Wall asks where we go when home has become somewhere you don't know. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Katie Greenall.
Available since: 04/16/2026.
Print length: 112 pages.

    Mercury-addled and fabulously flighty, Pochsy is back with a new monologue! 
    Sweet, vapid, and venomous, Pochsy is an endearingly charming embodiment of all that’s gone bats in the world. She used to work at Mercury Packers. Where she packed mercury. Now her employer has moved offshore and Pochsy must grapple with God’s broken promise of a five-star future. This is a night sea journey on an unnaturally sparkling river. Harrowing and high speed, Pochsy IV unboxes precarity, consumer obsessions, the future of humankind ... and whatever else might keep you up at night. 
    Combining magical realism, satire, and horror, this monologue follows the acclaimed trilogy The Pochsy Plays, which have travelled internationally and been a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award, among other citations. Pochsy IV: because what the world needs right now is a little more Pochsy.

    The Lake Poets - Three of the...

    Strictly speaking The Lake Poets were not a movement or school of poetry they were only so named as such by The Edinburgh Review so that they could be disparaged. 
    It was a spectacular backfire! 
    The three main figures would be rightly seen as among the most monumental figures in English poetry - William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the under rated but immense Robert Southey, himself a thirty year poet laureate. 
    The profound majesty of the Lake District, an area of almost unequalled beauty, of mythical landscapes and beguiling charm influenced and acted as muse to their burgeoning talents. 
    Their creations have ennobled this poetry as an art form that is intense, lyrical, moving and above all deliciously satisfying. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
